The Newspapers
Are Not Dull
RrHuR BRISBANE. HditOr NewsYork Evening journal

NEWSPAPERS are not dull. They are simply more or less
accurate refectors. People are dull, life is dull, crime,
races, politics, divorces all these are dull WHENASElENi
BY DULL BRAINS. Newspapers must always be dull
! to the man whose mind is dull. If we see in news reports
only the crimes which they narrate, the selfish struggles fpF1puhlic
office or the monotonous pursuit of money, the thing is dull Indeed.
But if we see in the events of today great inprovenentppon the
past; if we realize that what seems mere selfshness noHbis really
FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTUREA wqneed not
find the newspapers dull
One man looks at the sky and says, cit looks like rain.@ Another
looks 1t it and paints a beautiful picture. IT is THE SAME SKY.
No individual is capable of actual originality. 1t is not possible
for the individual to invent a working language. But he may make
it more effective by loud talking or individuality of style. 1t takes a
race to create a journalism, as it takes a race to create a language. But
the individual. in Journalism MAY APPEAR ORIGINAL by loud
shouting or by actual merit. The thing is done, however, along the
lines marked out by the temperament of an entire race and an entire
profession. No man ever INVENTED a language or a newspaper
THAI LIVED.
Independent mel are scarce, and they always have been scarce.
That is true Of independent newspapers. l should say that the news
paper independent of the opinions of organized capital is rarer than it
used to be and for this reason: If a newspaper does not make money it
ceases to exist. If it does make money IT BECOMES OF COURSE
THE PROPERTY OF A VERY RICH MAN. Newspaper sue
cess today means great wealth, and the rich man in this country and
everywhere else ninetynine times out of a hundred lets his MONEY
THINK for him.
Formerly men of small means controlled newspapers to a greater
extent than at present. And | should say that independence of money
consideration among newspaper owners is probably rarer than it used
to be. AS to the newspaper controlled by organized capital it has, of
course, ONLY N CHARACTER. A Greek said that if the cam
els had a god the god would have four legs and a hump.
WHENEVER ORGANIZED CAPITAL HAS A NEWSPAPER 1T HAS
THE DOLLAR MARK STAMPED ON BOTH SIDES OF 1T. A MANS
NEWSPAPER is APT TO REFLECT HIS OWN PEcuLlARITIEs.

tuberculosis. Four hundred repre-
sentatives of these volunteers gath

the meeting of the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis, and In this discussion
of ways and means of combating the
Great White Plague there was dis
closed an array of forces more for
midable, perhaps, than the most
hopeful had realized. Not mflical
bodies alone were found in the line
of battle, but labor organizations,
national religious societies, club fed
erations, churches and schools. The
national government testified to it's
allegiance by It's wise and humane
rules, recently put in force in every
branch of federal employment, for
the control of the disease. The
newspapers of the country, it was
announced, had shown themselves
unselhshly ready to lend the power
of their columns to the purposes of
public enlightenment. Ten state or

germ is strongly %intrenched. In New
York city alone there are fifteen
thousand victims today who will die
because they were not taught how to
avoid consumption, and because now
there is no place to give them proper
care . TO overcome such conditions
means a long and slow fight, a brave
fight, and an ~unselfish one. Help and

Mayor Fagan's Bold Stand.

Mayor Pagan has shown the cour-
age of his convictions by practically
forcing upon the liquor dealers of
Jersey City. a substantial increase in
the license fee. Not satisfied with
the minimum limit fixed for liquor
licenses by what was once the bis
hops bill,'' the chief executive of
Jersey City has brought pressure up
on the Board. of Excise to raise the
cost of retail licenses to $500 and of
wholesale to $3.50. In order to bring
this about, 1t was necessary to Sc
cure the resignation of one of the
excise commissioners appointed by
Mayor Pagan, and to name a success
or who was willing to support the
plan of the chief executive. 1t is
probable that this radical course will
be condemned by the saloonkeepers
and their friends as an exhibition of
bossism, but it will be generally APP
proved by others on the ground that
the mayor is held responsible for the
acts of the Board of Excise which he
appointed, thus making it subordin-
ate to the administration.
There are 1,115 saloons in Jersey
City, Or about one saloon to every
ZIG men, women and children in that
municipality. The proportion of sa-
looms to voters is one to less than
sixty. 1t has been publicly stated,
too, that there are fully 200 saloons
in Jersey City that are disreputably
conducted and that ought to be wiped
out. 1t is expected that this will be
accomplished by the higher license
plan of the mayor, which also in
cludes a determination not to grant
a hotel license to any person who has
been operating during the license
year just closing under a saloon per-
nit. The idea entertained by Mayor
Pagan in advocating this action is
that it will prevent the transforma-
ton of saloons that are improperly
conducted into vile 'hotels," under
the provisions of the new law that is
to go into effect on July 4 next. All
of these objects are commendable,
but in attempting to carry them out
there can be no doubt that the liquor
question will be brought prominently
into politics in Jersey City. And it
will not be confined to that city by
any menas. The high license issue
is before the people of the whole
state and it must be settled, regard
less of the cowardice or venality of
lawmakers at Trenton. There are
other courageous officials like Mayor
Pagan, who will not hesitate, when
the time is ripe, to declare them
selves on this matter and leave the
decision with the people at the polls.

MONDAY, JUNE IL.
CELEBRATE THE FOURTH.

The activity in South Amboy in
preparing for a genuine Fourth of
July celebration reminds us that such
a thing could be done in this city
and our citizens would have some big
public attraction in the evening.
Years ago the people of the city used
to contribute for a public celebration
and 1t was one that did honor to the
occasion. There is little doubt but
that a citizens committee, officially
appointed, could soon raise a neat
sum su~ficientvto purchase fireworks.
Then go down toSsthe bluff. or any
other attractive 2saptpt, where the view
would not MEENAEfered with, after
dark and shoot thetnNoff. There need
be no elaboraSs6 arrangements such
as a parade, speakers and all that,
but just a pwSh2 exhibition OF fire
works. Many OF our citizens will
not have any celebration Of their
own and perhaps the factories where
many are employed, would each con-
tribute a small sum, it would not
take much. The Board of Aldermen
o the Chamber of Commerce might
appoint a committee to carry out the
scheme.
The committee in South Amboy
has been at work for months. OF it
i the South Amboy Citizen says:
Z THE committee engaged in get
ting up the Fourth of July demon
I~stration are working with a will.
They estimated that eight hundred
to one thousand dollars would be
necessary to meet the expense of a
creditable showing. The smile on the
faces of the committee when the
council responded so literally to their
request last Tuesday was significant.
They have taken courage and now
~ ~ - -
they believe that the money needed
will be forthcoming. A big time is
planned for our borough. The peo-
pie will come this way this year, in
stead of people having to flock
away somewhere else. 1t should be
a great qualification to our citizens
and a great gain to our business peo-
pie. Music, oratory, parades, games,
baseball and other sports-ending
with a grand display of fireworks,
will make up a program that should
please everybody. 1t will be an oc-
casion to which our people may in
vite their distant friends with some
satisfaction. 1t will be a time when
some of our churches or societies
should make money catering to the
crowd Of Visitors sure to be here

EDITORIAL COMMENT.



Governor Stokes has never placed
himself in the position of a candidate
for the United States senatorship
since he has occupied his present Of
flee, and the katydid chorus kept UP
by Trenton correspondents and by
in which he has been held up as a
pronounced or covert candidate, must
have been an annoyance to him.
There are some things best left I'M
said, and some things that cannot
bear discussion or explanation, AFR
nation or denial. The question of
the United States s~enatorship, in IN
nection with the personality of the
governor, belongs to that category.
There never was the least warrant
for saying that Governor Stokes was
a candidate, for to nobody has he
ever made such a declaration. There
is, therefore, nothing for the COVER
nor to disavow. That should dispose
of the chatter about his candidacy.
What the governor would do in a
certain contingency is an impudent
suggestion that may well be treated
with the contemptuous silence that
Governor Stokes has given to it. The
katydid chorus will be kept up, for
this is the dull eason in politics and
political news columns must be sup
piled by some means, but it may be
affirmed that the governor has no
idea of crossing a bridge until he
comes to it, and he is not looking out
for any political bridges.-Newark
Advertiser.
