It appears that one Solonberger,
manager of the Minneapolis Asso-
ciated Charities, accused, in speech
at Philadelphia, the Salvation Army
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. The. Chicago Tribune, in a
spirited editorial, comes to the assist
ance of the army and challenges this
man Solenberger to produce proof of
his allegations. The Tribune pro-
ceedslto. set forth the good deeds which
the army performs and lauds it's devo-
ton to the interests of the cause in
which it is engaged-the lifting of the
dregs Of humanity to a higher plane.
It is very unlikely that the Chicago
Tribune would come to the assist
ance of the Salvation army and chal-
lenge the Minneapolitan were it not
certain that his accusations are false.

Whether the dissolution of the paper
trust-one Of the most INSCRIPTIONS
combines that ever existed-will bene-
fit the consumers of it's product or not
remains to be determined. It is true
that Judge Sanborn, of the United
States circuit court, has ordered the
rending asunder of this extortionate
trust, and, in compliance with this
order, the many mills comprising the
corporation are expected to conduct
business independent of one another.
But will they do it? That is the CUES
ton. Will they enter into competition
with one another or maintain a secret
organization for the manipulation OF
the market? The chances are that
they will adopt the latter course and
that the consumers of paper will find
no decline in price result from the dis.
solution of the trust. Time will make
mention.

That cowardly, cringing son of a
Romanoff, Emperor Nicholas, last
week summoned up sufficient courage
to visit the winter. palace and open the
first Russian parliament in person.
His speech from the throne, I written
as are Governor Johns addresses
by his private secretary, was in tone
most conciliatory3 and expressed a
wish that relief be given to the peas
ants in their present unfortunate con
ditions. Immediately upon the con-
clusion of his speech the emperor and
party boarded launch protected by
bomb screens and returned to Peter
hoff. This is the first time in fifteen
months that this weak-rninded mon.
arch has appeared in public,-thesf first
time that he dared emenge from. the
recesses of his fortified castle,-and
the surprise is that hetdid not meet the
fate of some of his tyrannical ances-
tors at the hands of the revolutionists.

Strikingly pertinent is the following
passage from 81. P. Halls eulogistic
contribution to the memory of the late
Joseph A. Wheelock: "a man cannot
properly edit a great paper and have
intimate friends. The world is such a
cosmopolitan affair that the editor
who works with an eye single to the
public welfare must not be swayed in
his criticisms by friendship. In the
scramble for gain, financially and
politically, it is preposterous to sup
pose that every one will be actuated
only for the public welfare, and the
editor with high ideals must be pre-
pared to have his criticisms fall
where they are deserved regardless OF
friendships. Mr.. Wheelock was an
editor with high ideals.''

Upton Sinclair, who has made a
study of Chicago packing-house
methods, says, in a magazine article,
that hogs afflicted with cholera, tuber.
culosis and alterations are placed in
the lard-rendering tanks of the Ar.
mour establishment and that the flesh
of diseased cattle is sold for public
consumption. He also charges that
the laws regulating the inspection oil
meat "were written by the packers
for the express purpose of making
this condemned meat industry impos.
sible of prevention. Serious
charges, forsooth, but as Mr.. Sin.
clair has apparently no reason for the
Misrepresentation of conditions, his
article is deserving of some credence.

E. M. Without of Topeka, formerly
an agent of the Standard Oil company,
but now an independent operator,
testified before the Interstate commerce
commission at Chicago that drivers of
tank wagons for the great trust ''are
expected to keep up their stock by
selling 205 to 20S gallons from a load
of 200 gallons. He also said that
the actual tests of the prod ucts OF the
Standard Oil company to determine
the quality are carefully guarded, and
that when it was found necessary to
cut the price to meet the figures of a
competitor a cheaper quality of oil
was substituted and guaranteed to be
of higher grade than it really was.
This goes to show that this combine

rates from consumers, but also cheats

Albert Gray, an ex-alderman OF
Green Bay, Wis, was fined $1,000 for
accepting in 1901 two brides of $500
each in connection with a paving con.
tract. Thus it will be seen that Mr..
Gray in reality received no punish
ment for the commission of this un-
lawful act. He merely paid five per
cent interest for the use of the money.

altogether too common in America.

Magazines entered the province of
Journalism with certain great advant-
ages in the work of forming public
opinion. They are not bound bv
party affiliations. The intervals
which elapse between their publication
dates imply a deliberate and dispas-
sionate investigation of the facts.
With the advent of the magazines
into the political and social arena be-
gan that new journalism" from
which the country has a right to hope
much-the journalism which. deals
thoroughly with question, accepting
information only at first hand and
sparing neither time nor expense to
get at the facts. Today that new
Journalism, just risen to the fullness of
its strength, is already in danger. It
found the country sick of commercial
ism, and it has caught the virulent
! disease. Circulation and the money
and power that circulation brings are
fast becoming the aim and object of
its life. No franchise stealing legis-
lator, no insurance rascal stealing
the money that belongs to widows and
to orphans, does to his country more
cruel injury than the editor who loses
all sense of responsibility.
There are today three courses open
to US as a nation. One is the course
of Elkins and Aldrich in the senate,
of Rogers and Armour in the trusts,
of Spencer and his ilk in the rail-
roads. It is the course of obstruction
to the declared will of the people, of
impudent determination to preserve
system long since become intolerable.
It is the course leading straight to
destruction. There is another course
which such men as these make US al
most sympathize with at times, but
which also leads to destruction. It is
the course of Debs and.of Hearst, of
the yellow journals and the magazine
heroes. And there is the third course
the course of the square deal. It
demands publicity, the vigorous en-
forcement of the law. It calls upon
the nation for earnest and unsleeping
support. It calls upon the new jour-
nalism to give the people honest facts,
helpful suggestions, constructive
ideas.
