HIS HOPE.
Topeka Journal: If Rojestvensky
can Just persuade himself that the
Japanese fleet is only a fishing fleet
he may do something to It.
PART TRUE.
Boston Transcript: Much that
Grover Cleveland says in the current
number of the Ladies' Home Journal
about woman's mission is quite true,
while great deal that he says of the
harmfulness of women's clubs we
think he may wish to amend ten or
fifteen years hence. 1t Is undoubted.
ly true that many club women do neg
lect their families to attend their
clubs, but 1t is equally true that If
there were no woman's clubs on the
face of the earth these women would
be forgetful of their home duties.
NOT THIS TIME.
New York Tribune Ten years ago
Japan, after winning a war for civili-
zation against China, was compelled
by a combination of three European
powers to relinquish some of the
chief fruits Of victory-fruits which
we're not meant for herself alone, but
for all the world. This year, If she
shows herself able to win another war
for civilization, 1t is not to be believ.
ed that another such combination
will be permitted to stand in the way
of her reapiug her reward.
TRUE PARTY PRINCIPLES.
Ohio State Journal: The policy of
the party newspaper should invaria.
bly, be such as to invite the complete
confidence of the people and to thor.
oughly convince them by its utter
ances. The true party newspaper
cannot afford to condone grievous Of
fenses and bad nominations by its own
party. 1t should be true to itself,
and then 1t will be honest with the
people. 1t should be go conducted
that it will be a constant warning to
its party to do better, to select only
good, clean, able men tor the offices.
The party newspaper should stand be-
tween its party and the people. 1t
should be guideboard for the peo.
Pile. 1t should possess their confidence
to that extent that when 1t refuses to
support nominee of its party the
people will accept and follow its ac-
tion. Can it do this If its editor or
publisher is continually seeking polit-
ical favors ? 1t will exert the great
est power if it supports its party
wholly for that. party principle and
refuses to sanction its bad men-too
many of them, unfortunately.
Should the party paper refuse to
support nominee of its party? Why
not, If that nominee is known to be
unfit for the office which he seeks =?
Would you employ him in your own
establishment? If not, why should
you advise the people to engage his
services? The party newspaper should
stand between the people and the Of
fees. Its duty, therefore is to use its
influence to place only competent,
honest and reliable men in Office.
When 1t sanctions nominee 1t knows
to be unfit it willfully deceives the
people.
Because party newspaper espous-
es the cause of a. political party it
does not lose its independence. The
true, conscientious party paper is not
servile. 1t does not fear to point out
the right road or to warn of the dam
gers. Political parties are necessary
to the preservation of our institu.
tions. Party newspapers are essen
tial to the strength, development and
welfare of political parties as we'll as
to the preservation of the republic
