TOO COLD TO FIGHT.
Latest Reports of the Situation South
of Mukden.

Toxic, Jan 21.-In well Informed
quarters here it is said that the Rus
sian army at Mukden was recently
reinforced by four divisions. Its pres
ent strength is estimated at nine army
corps, 500, 900 men of all arms. Cen
eraI Kuropatkin's headquarters at
Fong mountain is in close ouch with
the Mukden-Fushun line. The Rus
slams lately nave been heavily
strengthening their wings.
At present two and a half divisions are
facing Gen. Oku, two corps are before
General Nodu and the greater strength
of three corps confronts General Kuroki
and guards the coal mines in the vicinity
of the Fushun valley.
Between the opposing armies is a net
work of trenches. Kuroki's outposts are
within 500 yards of the Russians en-
trenched along the line of ridges near
KWantalien mountain. C~annonading and
rifle firing are constantly taking place,
but owing to the intense cold there seems
to be no immediate likelihood of a great
IattIe.

PREACHERS IDEA OF NEWS
PAPER.

DR.. Roberts. in his address to the
Kansas editors. said:
The newspaper is not an agent of
reform. It is a of passing
events. 1t does not create public
opinion. it describes it. It is neither
moral nor immoral. It is non-moral
1t is impersonal. 1t has no convic-
tons. no politics, no religion. ave as
one or more of these become public
and general.
The reform organ is not a newspa-
per in the primary sense. 1t falls into
a class by itself. and it usually falls
into the hands of a receiver. It is a
special pleader, an advocate. 1t has
a limited and ~clusi constituency.
1t is a class paper. It starts out to
change the policies of government,
purify politics. make immaculate the
legislatures, alter and amend the ma
ture and dispositions Of men, in short.
to reform the world while you wait
1t is like the grass of Scripture. In
the morning it groweth up and -four
isheth. In the evening it cut down
and ~withereth. 1t won't even make
hay.
If a through the per-
sonal bia of its nag or for any
other reason, becomes the advocate Of
special men or measures of reform. it
cease in that degree to be a news
paper, provided always that such men
or measures are not demanded by a
considerable public.
The difference is ike that between
the work of the mirror and the pho
tographer. The mirror neither apollo
gies for nor fatters you. The photog-
rapher takes the negative and
smoothes -out the wrinkles, adds a tuft
or two of hair where it will do the
most good. and bids the freckles
retire.

The photographer shows you as you

The newspape is the mirror. In

one of her newspapers for a brief and
breathless period was published as
Jesus would publish it. The expert
ment was convincing and complete.
Even in Kansas there was no other
paper to follow in its steps. The time
has not yet come for the newspaper
to assume a halo or put on ascension
robes. For a little longer it must
content itself with being of the earth
earthly. A very slight change might
transform editors into saints, but it
would require immense time and
training to transform saints into
editors.
In a newspaper, goodness and bad

preachment or prayer-for blessing or
benediction. Neither do we want

w. ROSCOE STUBBS-LEADER.
No man has ever had a frmer or
more powerful grasp upon the lower
house of the Kansas legislature than
has Honorable w. Roscoe Stubs. He
is the master Of the situation. He holds
his hand on the throttle valve of legis-
lation. The engine moves only when
he wills it and over whatever track he
directs.
Possessed Of such a power it is of the
utmost Importance tina it should be
properly used and up to this time Mr..
Stubs has shown no disposition to
misuse it. He has a good grasp upon
legislation, a clear idea of what is
right and wrong, and a disposition to
consider the people at large first ana
the politicians afterward.
There is danger that Mr.. Stubs will
be spoiled Many big men have been
ruined by adulation or by the possess
sion of great power and the Gentle
man from Douglas must possess a
clear head and a determination that
can moi be shaken by the storms Of DO
litical influence if he holds out faithful
to the end. 1t requires the qualities of
a leader to retain the control of a body
Of men and at the same time the con-
hdence of the people of the state. Per-
haps Mr.. Stubs may be able to do
this. A few short weeks VIII tell.
