PRESS AND MORALITY.

In an able paper on The Press and

fore the South Carolina press asso-
citation recently the following very
pertinent comments were made:
Without waiting to point out the
path of duty, which is veHy plain, Or
The fields Of usefulness which are al
ways in sight, let rs mark some Of the
points where we may be tempted to go
astray
To the newspaper man who holds
rigidly 20 high standard of morality
in the conduct of his business ma
terial reward is small enough 10 try
his faith. while few and small are the
installments Of appreciation that come
TO cheer him on his way. The first
and only real triumph accorded MIN by
the public which he serves comes on
a dav when ne heads procession in
which he takes no pride and feels no
interest. Even those who regard him
with affecti0n and in a measure ap-
preciate his worth reserve their words
of approval until thev can no longer
cheer and save all their flowers 10 dec
crate his grave. His compensation,
though infinitely superior TO that Of
the time server, is in the invisible fu-
ture
The man. therefore, who does not
regard the moral law as supreme even
in practical matters. who IS impatient
that the dividends declared by an ap-
proving conscience are not available

that will cover all cases. But it l.;
certain, as Miss Adams puts it, that
women do not seem able to combine
the work Of supporting the child with
the work of giving it proper training
The compromise that should oe
made, wherever it is possible. is for
the mother to find work which she can
do at home, or if she must go out to
work to make her working hours
those in which her child is in school.
In one of the cases before Judge Mack
the mother. a washerwoman, prom
ised the judge that she would take in
washing instead of going out in the
future, and on that condition the
Judge let the child return home, in.
stead of sending it to public insti-
tuition.
The fate of the widowed or desert
ed woman with children and no prop
erty is a hard one in any event. But
whatever sacrifice must be made, the
opportunity for mother watchfulness
over the children should be the last
thing to be abandoned.
