The Right KIND of Newspaper.


A newspaper is a vehicle of pub
licity. It's most important function
is to publish the news. The improve
ment of its facilities for getting the
news and of the methods Of present
ing news has. therefore, been a not
able advance in journalism. Moreover.
it is not strange that there should
have been a reaction from the old
style heavy editorial leader" The
demand was for something more di-
rect and simple. But it is a law of
every such movement that 1t is nee
eSSarily carried to extremes. Many
newspapers were so far Influenced by
the revolution in journalism that with
few exceptions there has been a low
ering of editorial power. The i'm
provement in the news pages has not
been a full compensation for this loss,
especially as the news pages them
selves have been corrupted by the ad-
vent of the yellow journalism" In
stead of editorials we have now COM
ment in headlines and cartoons and
editorialized news. Readers are
sought to be influenced by opinions
dexterously presented in spread"
stories. This coloring of news by ed
itorial opinion is in every way unfor-
tunate. The ideal is the news pre-
sented without any bias or color what
ever, and then forcible comment in
the proper place, the editorial page,
by men of high mental power and
trained in the art of eXpounding the
news of the day so as to give the
reader an intelligent idea of its true
significance. thus leading them to
sound opinions.-Wall Street Journal.

BATTLE WITH A SQUID

HONOLULU, T. H, Feb. s. = The
officers of the interisland steamer
Mauna Loa describes a remarkable
struggle in the water between a ma
tive named Waha and a large squid,
on January %. The native was pulled
under the water twice, say the wit
nesses, and his body bears the marks
of the tentacles. The vulnerable point
in the squid is the eyes and it was by
tearing and partly biting them out
that Waha finally saved himself.

Strength for To-Day.

God promises us strength to en- =
able us to do our present duty. II
we believe that, and act according.
ly, we shall never, never fail. "As
thy days, so shall thy strength be. "
That is the promise, "a promise
that never fails. Yesterday has
gone, not to return. Tomorrow
has not come to us, and it may
never come. To day is our day,
and it is the only portion of time
that is. Men who regret that they
did not do their work Of yesterday
lose their present time because they
are not giving their whole strength
to it. Men who fear that they will
not be able to do to-morrow's 5 work
are losing to- day, and are not get.
ting ready for Tomorrow. God
does not promise strength for yes
terday which is gone. nor for to.
morrow which may never come,
but for to. day which is here. Let
Us, therefore, trust, and use while
we have it, Gods promised strength
for to day. Sufficient unto the
day is the evil land the good
thereof"

Themes for Thinkers.

The first business of the Christ
ian in this world is to continually
remind the world that God is good
The man who never speaks of
his religion in public is not getting
much out of it in private.
Nothing will prolong youth like
rejoicing in the Lord.
Why is it that the man in danger
from drink is so slow in finding it
QUIT
Not to be a missionary of some
Kind is not to be a true follower
of Christ.
About the wisest people in the
world are those who have found
out that God is good.
Nothing is heavier than borrowed
trouble.
1t is hard for the Lord to do
much for people when they can t
see that they have anything to be
thankful for.
Work for God should always be
done in Christlike spirit
No man can see the beauty of
the divine character until he has
been made a partaker of it.

FAITH VS.. APPETITE.

Hon. Bourke Cochran OF New York,
In a speech, made recently before
Tammany Hall, characterized the dlf.
ference between Democracy and Re.
pubIcanism In the following terse
language:
Democrats are a party OF principle
They follow principle and value 4
more than profit, Republicans have
differed more widely than Democrats
upon every question which has been
active In our politics. They have diff.
fered about the Philippines. about the
tariff, the gold question. about Cuba,
about every single question which has
come before the public. but their dlf.
terences never prevented them from
coming back as one man the moment
there was a chance Of getting posses.
sion OF the Government. and putting
their fists into the Treasury. Demo.
Gratis, on the other side, have thrown
away prospects of success rather than
surrender their principles TO which
they were committed. Democracy, In
fact, is faith, and RepublIcanlsm Is
an appetite"

Combine Of WaIbridge and Butler

Mr.. Walbridge, through the Re
publican machine, has combined
with the most corrupt gang of
scoundrels that ever infested an
American city. Ed Butler is now
his right-hand man, and every
other boodlcr is shouting for Wal
Nridge.
As part Of the deal the ticket
nominated by the Republicans in
st. Louis has on it for circuit Judge
Billy Iachritz, Butler man, and
the notorious Pat Clarke, n Butler
man, for Sheriff. Every other
nominee on the Republican ticket
has Buffers approval Every man

presided over one of the criminal
divisions when the Doodle crusade
commenced, was turned down.

juries to try the Doodle cases. was
defeated for the nomination for
sheriff on this account.
The Democratic party has turned
Butler out; the Republican marhiue
has taken him up. Will the peo-
pie of Missouri tolerate the corrupt
combine of Walbridge, Butler and
