THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER.

Although the great American news
papers have achieved through the de-
velopment of their news service,
practical independence, the old polit-
ical thraldom has been succeeded by a
commercial thraldom more insidious
and more dangerous to the welfare of
society. This striking statement is
made by Mr.. Samuel Bowles, himself
proprietor of the Springfield Repub-
lican, one of the leading independent
papers of America, in an Illuminating
article in The North American Re-
view. 1t has come to pass, he tells us,
that party organ of the old-fashioned
type can not be successfully main
tanned But instead we have "the
cheap newspaper Of many pages, SELL
ing often at wholesale for less than
the cost of the paper on which it is
printed" and dominated by the adver-

his ielow-citizens are likely to confer
upon him. The Independent newspaper
may be and should be the most vital
and effective instrument that demo
cratic society can produce for its own
advancement and protection; and its
true business welfare, in the long view,
lies in a complete, intelligent sympa-
thetic devotion to public interests.
at is my hope, my ambition, that the
independent newspapers of the United
States shall become, as the years roll
on, more and more truly apostles of an
industrious peace, not only for the
sake of the highest and best develop
ment of this nation, both spiritually
and materially, but for the advance
ment OF liberty, justice, and enlighten-
ed democratic government throughout
the world"

expenses ard the profit" Under these
conditions the motto of an old Salem
newspaper

ed by Gain"
might seem a counsel of unattainable
perfection. Nevertheless, asserts Mr..
Bowles, the press today not only stands
for the rights and interests of the peo-
Ele, but, on the whole, represents
hem more efficiently than ever be-
rore." 1t does this by it's daily presenta-
ton of each days history of the world
Thus, as Mr.. Bowles goes on to say:
Even the corrupt and Independent
press is compelled to publish the news.
1t cannot hope to exist if it fails to
to do so. The possession of the news,
the knowledge of the worlds daily life,
thought, movement, constitutes the
most effective weapon for the protec-
ton of society Justice and truth
flourish in the light of publicity. In
iquity and wrong dread it and are ul-
timately cured by the influences which
flow from it's Illuminating rays"
The modern editorial page more
over, has become "a most important
part of the news-gathering mechanism
Of the press" its function being ito
Illuminate, to suggest, to inform, to eX-
pose, rather than to persuade or de-
nounce" Although maintaining that
the press as a whole serves the people
efficiently, Mr.. Bowles is unable to
make certain yellow" journals com.

general survey. We read

pretense of every newspaper, seeking
public support, that it stands for the
public enlightenment and welfare
Even though it have no editorial opin
ions to express, and be simply an or
gan of information, it processes to pub
fish things that are true and to be sc
far an honest servant of those who
buy it. 1t is, then, a national misfor
tune that so large section of the
American press, under the operation
of commercial influences, has been lee
into the adoption of methods and prac
tees which are essentially dishonest

EACH VILLAGE A VENICE.
Strange Relic of Ancient Customs
Prevailing III German
Forest.

One of the most interesting regions
in the "old fatherland" is the so-called
"Spreewald," the Forset of the Spree,
situated not far from the German cap
ital, in the province of Brandenburg,
says the Technical World. Each vii
Iage is a little Venice, every house a
little island, and these isletS are con-
nected by bridges sufficiently raised to
allow boats to pass under them.
Most of the houses, with their barns
and stables, rest on piles, and there is
generally strip of artificial terra
firma either in front or at the rear OF
every building. By means of these
land strips and of the bridges the slen-
der land communication IS kept
throughout the district, but most Of
the business and amusement is carried
on through the canals, which not only
form the main highways but penetrate
and cross and recross the whole re-
giOn.
1t is on these 4agoons that all traffic
is conducted In boats during the pc
riOd from spring, when the last ves=
tiges of frost and ice are disappear
ing, until the end of autumn. You see
the letter carrier shoot up and down
the canals, performing his duties in
his frail craft; the police glide leisure
ly along the banks, watching every
thing going on; peasants bring the
products of their toll to the nearest
towns; children go to and from
school; young mothers, dressed in
their Sunday clothes, are rowed to
church, carrying in their arms a small.

Few Murderers Among Drunkards.

Emil Reich, the well-known pub
licist in London, has given the prohi
bitionists a hard nut to crack in his
appeal to statistical proofs that "the
number of murderers among teetOtal-
ers is far greater than that among
even confirmed drunkards." Criminol
ogists have long observed that the
most deadly enemies of society, the
most secretive and furtive in their
designs, have no inclination for drink
both from natural constitution and the
fear of lessening the skill of their exc
cution. But because the greatest Grim
inals have no taste for strong drink is
no reason why honest people should
not carefully refrain from addiction to
brandy and whisky.

Ancient Fish Story.

Here is an eighteenth century fish
story. It is told in a letter written
by a traveller in Russia to a woman
in England. A vessel laden with the
latest fashions from Paris was run
down in the channel of st. Peters
burg. "The next day." the writer
says, "a salmon was caught in the
Neva, dressed in a white satin pet
ticoat; and in the same net were
found two large cod, with muslin
handkerchiefs round their neclzs.
The sharks and porpoises were OBJ
served in gowns of the latest taste,
and hardly was there fish that did
