ly stated, as is too often the case
when generalizatiOns are made to fit
an opinion or support cause. Hoke
Smith was and is successful lawyer.
Under circumstances which tend to
make law an unusually jealous mis-
tress he has followed his profession
assiduously except the one term he
was in Cleveland's cabinet It is
true that he was newspaper
owner. He might have been a sue
cessful journalist if he had devoted
himself to the calling, but he has not
He bought the Journal when it was
very modest sheet, with a small local
circulation. and employed skillful
newspaper men to run it, he only di-
recting the general policy of the pa
per. He was never regarded as a
newspaper man, even in his own city,
and if you had asked him at any time
during his ownership of the Journal
he would have said that he was
n
man, but he has given great deal of
time to politics. having served with
distinction in the legislature of his
state for many years, being at this
time. we believe, president of the sen
ate. We might as well pick out
grocer who happened to be running
for governor after serving in legis-
lature for years and say it showed
a marked tendency of grocers to go
into politics. Colonel Estill is a news
paper man, having no other irons in
the fire. so far as we are informed.
The truth of the matter is that the
press is jogging along with the pro-
cession, generally in the lead, and
showing less of radical tendencies in
any direction than many other of the
activities which go to make up our
modern life. For instance, the press
shows no tendency to consolidation.
as manifested by so many other lines.
1t is quite sure there can never be a
newspaper trust, such as Mr.. Munsey
dreamed of, to dominate the country.
And if for this we are permitted to be
duly thankful we shall raise no obiec-
tion to speculation regarding other
tendencies.
