THE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER,
Influence Exerted by Those That Have
Opinions of Their Own.
Norfolk Virginian-P Pilot.

Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
Mr.. Bryan, in the COnm0ner, SAYS
that the country needs more Demo-
cratic weeklies. Mr.. Bryan is entirely
right If he means more weeklies with
opinions OF their own, and consequent
ly papers that do not see a Webster
or Henry Clay in every peanut politi-
clan that sticks his head up for office.
OF the latter sort Of newspapers, Dem
ocratic or Republican, the country
has more than a superabundance al
ready. The subserviency, in fact, of
a great many OF our weekly news
papers is responsible for the poor es-
TEEN in which they are held by men
OF other professions.
To this view we feel that no one
will assent more readily than those
weeklies that have opinions of their
own and speak them without regard
to the personal fortunes of individ-
uals. The weekly paper can do more
to preserve wholesome ideals among
the American people than any other
institution, but in order to accOmp-
lish this there must be a somewhat
larger display of energy and independ-
enee than we are apt to find in the
columns Of the average weekly, what
ever its politics.
We have long contended that the
weekly newspaper did not fully real
ize either its own power or its oppor-
tunities. 1t reaches people who are
in fact the bone and sinew of the
country, and who very often read
nothing else than the weekly paper
in the way of contemporary litera-
ture. And yet this vast and fertile
field is left almost unploughed by the
average weekly paper. A few occas-
ional and haphazard opinions con-
stitute the bulk ofits efforts to mould
public sentiment.
We do not say this to decry the
weekly newspaper, but rather to chide
it for it's failure to realize it's own i'm
portance as a factor in shaping the
destiny OF the country. The great
daily has a clientele made up of the
people who are essentially readers.
Its opinions at most have but
transitory influence. Whatever i'm
preston the expression ofan opinion
in one great paper may make it is
speedily washed out by the food of
reading matter of other kind that
follows. 1t is for the weekly to make
the Impression that is lasting.

ternated. The man from Oklahoma
began in whirlwind time, getting his
first steer in twenty-six and two-fifths
seconds. lie was riding his famous
horse Red Buck, which he used for his
first four feats. For the last six steers
he rode Jack Hill, another star cattle
pony. On his first five steers Carroll
simply did perfect work. He went
after the steers like a shot out of a
gun, threw them or dragged them to
keep them from getting up, and he
tied them with lightning-like speed.
CAROLS first fall down from phe-
nomenal record was on his seventh
steer, which was somewhat tame and
got up twice before he was thrown
and held down. He took tfty-six
and one-fifth seconds for this steer.
On his very next steer Carroll show
ed that he had not lost his form. He
got after a fast runner, but overlook
him Just before he reached the corner
After being thrown the steer got up,
but the heady puncher and his foxy
pony galloped around him and turn
ed him over backward. Carroll made
the tie in ten seconds and took only
thirty-two and four-fifth seconds for
the whole job.
| 1t was on his ninth steer that Car
roll broke over one minute. 1t was
a freak case. The steer, a wild little
black, broke over the line like a shot
and made straight for the time
keepers table. The crowd around
the table made a wild scramble for
the gate to the bleachers, but the
brave Judges stood, or rather sat
their ground. Carroll was almost on
top of the steer and it looked like a
chance to break every record on the
books. But the steer stopped and
peered at the scattering crowd. Car
roll almost rode him down and be-
fore his pony could adjust himself to
a quick stop the steer had made a
quick turn and was gone. Carroll
caught him about the middle of the
field. but got his rope on one horn
only and it slipped off. The second
trial, near the corner, brought down
the steer, but the time was l minute
and ? seconds.
| AS if to make up for his break Car
roll got his next steer in 2G seconds
fat, as good time as he has evel
made. His steer was a wide horned
long coupled, wild, fast animal. Car
roll made a beautiful, perfect throw
and dropped the steer about two
thirds of the way from the pen to tht
far corner Carroll was on the ground
with his rope in his hand in an in
stant. Before he got to the strug
Cling steer the animal tried to get up
Jack Hill came to the rescue then
about five yards. In the meantime
Carroll had hogtied it. 1t was l.
seconds from the time the flag fell til
Carroll quit his horse and II second
from then until he threw up hi
arms.
