A BEASTLY BORE

Mr.. Hand of London furnishes a fine
example Of the effect of newspaper
work on the Englishman. He is pursu-
ing the stupidity dreary life of a cor
respondent at ST Petersburg, and he
stopped his beastly insipid job of being
on the spot when the bomb thrower sig
mails the catcher, the other day, to go
and watch a lot of decorated govern
ment officials show the cars hoard of
gold to the skeptical agents of the
French. He was horribly bored, or
perhaps he doesn't like the smell of
money, for Mr.. Hand cabled this:
THE bank officials made much cere-
mony Of unlocking the gates of the
strong rooms, but the actual view of
100000 of gold was found a SUI
premely undressing, tedious and de-
pressing spectacle" And speaking of
the appearance of 1880 gold ingots
stored on shelves he says: 1T had the
effect of a dado in subdued yellow
tones, not unattractive as a color
scheme"
OF course 1T was all a beastly bore
and no editor who had any considera-
ton for the feelings of reporter
would send a man to look at a lot of
vulgar coin. But the nonchalance of
Mr.. Hand helped what might have been
turned into a wretchedly yellow story
descriptive of the boarded and untold
palled at the very thought of what
might have burdened the cable in case
Mr.. Hearst had sent one of his young
men to do the job that was intrusted
to Mr.>Handl What typographical and
grammatical horrors would we not
have been compelled to contemplate!
What editorial denunciation of crowned
criminals segregating the unearned in
crementi
But the gentlemanly, If possibly blase.
Mr.. Hand sees in 1925, 100000 a yellow
dado and rather an effective color
scheme!
Mr.. Hand should be hurried to the
front-if indeed he could be hurried
anywhere. The young men who have
been doing the war are altogether too
emotional; their matter appeals too di-
rectly to the lower orders. 1t would
be possible for Mr.. Hand to sit on a
poWder ma gaZine in the line of fire and
describe another assault on another
203Meter hill in a couple of breezy
sentences. as: "a chap named Nogi is
making a wretched fuss to get possess
sion of this place. He is most exas-
peratingly persistent. A lot of yellow
beggars have been killed. Some clerk
fellow tells me the dead amount to
$4,000. They are going to be buried
that will spoil the color scheme which
now shows some effective high lights in
carmine."
Great is Mr.. Hand and great the ma
ton that gave him birth. Some of his
kind should be brought over and util-
lied in giving object lessons in the
futility of impetuosity to the journal
lists of the Box school.

SUSTAIN THE VETO

If the Republicans in the state legiS-
lature have not lost their sense of the
expedient along with their sense of the
decent, they will permit the discredited
Horton bill to drop quietly into OBJ
livion. Gov. Johnson has vetoed it, as
been deficient in sense of what is ow-
ing to his office could he have done
otherwise The bill was conceived for
the purpose of shifting a certain
amount of patronage from the execu-
tive Office to the legislature because the
present executive happens to be a
Democrat The whole idea has been re-
pudiated by the people of the state at
large with unmistakable disgust. There
ought now to be an end of it,
Not the governor alone, but every
other state official and every man with
a proper pride in his state should re-
sent the notion that all the offices of
the state are tenanted merely by their
occupants on sufferance of body known
as the capitol commission. The posi-
ton is idiotic. The new capitol is the
home of the state, and should not only
be occupied but cared for by the state
through its proper representative. Not
only should it not be turned over to the
capitol commissions indefinitely, but
that body, which is entitled to and has
received full credit for the good work
that it has done, should not be allowed
for one moment longer to exercise
functions foreign to the purpose of its
creation. It's business should be to
complete the capitol at the earliest
possible date. 1t should be the bust
ness of the executive to care for 1t.
Even in this short time the absurd
arguments by which it was sought at
the beginning to give some poor ex-
cuse for the Horton bill have been
made ridiculous. With the capitol COM
mission in charge, the building has
been more or less defaced. The COM
mission is not WHIT more aDle OF
more DESTROYS to prevent this than
would be the governor or those whom
he might appoint for duty. The sugges-
ton that he makes for proper mainte-
nance fund and authority to appoint a
superintendent are rational and right.
The legislature was originally taken by
surprise when it passed this petty
scheme concocted secretly by a few
men who meant well but did not know.
and a number of others who did know
and meant ill. The whole disgraceful
proceeding has now been advertised
for what it is. The scheme to strip the
governors office temporarily of powers
and duties justly belonging to it, in the
hope that by the time these are re-
stored Republican may occupy it, has
been rejected and condemned by all
our people except wretched and pur-
blind persons. The best thing for the
Republican party, as well as for the
credit of the state, is to sustain the
veto and pass a brief act embodying
the recommendations of Gov. Johnson;
which are wholly without personal ref
erence, and intended merely to save to
the executive Office the dignity and

FRENZIED LITERATURE

This country has been magazine mad
long enough. Now that the magazines
have gone mad. it is probable that the
recovery of the readers is at hand.
The man or woman who inspects the
news dealers display of wares today
and attempts to choose something in
monthly literature that will inform
him calmly or entertain him during a
leisure hour finds that he is compelled
to select some Of the widest examples
of yellow journalism or go to the other
extreme and purchase literary pabulum
of such exceeding dryness that it ap-
peals to the mind as breakfast food
tickles the palate
For this is the day and hour of the
yellow magazine. The yellow news
paper is, by comparison, a mild and
truthful exposition of the days doings
One magazine is devoted to the de-
nunciation of the System" in finance:
another clamors about the evils of
wealth and demands that the rich give
over buying $4,000 sable coats and
spend the money for coal for the poor;
q woman writer shrieks of the in
EQUITIES of the trust; another shows
how the country is being debauched by
the importation Of foreign criminals;
the shame of some city is exploited by
space writer who has nothing to Of
Ter by way Of remedy for the condi-
lions he gloats over; some unhappy
individual, momentarily in the public
eye, is dissected in the interest of some
ism-they are all of a piece under diff
ferent title. And the truculent rot
written in the name of studies in So
cial conditions is varied in spots nv
fiction that deals with the doings of
some modern criminal whose evolution
mas gone beyond the mask, the dark
lantern and the bludgeon, or, going to
the other extreme, drivels through
rapid sentences to an unconvincing i'm
pressionistic picture. There are some
partly sane publications, of course. but
the conservative magazines, having sur
fered temporarily by the competition
OF the cheap ones, are not much better
just now than those to whose levels
they have been brought down.
1t is not to be doubted that the pom
ular magazine made very much for the
spread of information when it was
- new and was serving its original pur-
pose of informing and entertaining. On
Its popular merits it attained, in some
cases. enormous circulation. But the
spirit of yellow journalism seized on

certain in demoralizing results than
the daily newspapers. and as the VEL

That demand is fast being DESTROYED

Contemporary Comment
Aggressive FOREIGN POLICY opposed

But the refusal to act on the Santo
Domingo treaty means more than SEN
atorial resentment. The senate had al
ready amended the treaty till the more
dangerous features of it were elimi-
mated. 1t is plainly opposed to the ag-
gressive foreign policy that Mr.. Roose-
Welt would commit the country to. So
far as the claims against Santo Do
mingo are concerned we are willing
that France and Germany should force
their payment. We shall not allow
either nation to annex the little repub-
lie, but further than that our interests
do not go.-PhiladeIphia Record.

mort of the vulgar and fugitive reader.
The theory enunciated by a news
paper publisher that his business was
''to raise HI and sell papers" was
long ago shown to be barren in re-
suits pecuniary. In the light of the ex
perience of the yellow newspaper pub
Usher the yellow magazine should pres
emily cease to contribute to the de-
moralization of the reading public.

Venezuelan Difficulty

President Roosevelt has announced
the principle that the Latin American
republics may be held responsible for
their engagements with foreigners. The
moral and political right of France and
Italy TO use pressure upon President
Castro is conceded, just as the right of
Germany, England and Italy to use
force was conceded some years ago.
This means. in effect. that we must see
justice done by Venezuela, and if we
forbid France to compel justice we
must ourselves take the job in hand
