4 to Charles A. Dana still holds good
The new reporter came in and told
him excitedly of dog with a tin car
tied to its tail running from Broad
way, followed by a mob of boys, and
/ asked him how much space he should
give to it. when you see tin can
running down the street with a dog
tied to it," said Mr.. Dana, you can
| have all the space you want"
There are few editors but would pre-
| fer to publish good news. There are
few if any governors, perhaps, who
would want the good in society TO be
so unusual as to make it news. And
we take it that editors are glad to pub
lish the good news when it is news.
For example, murder is always news.
The opposite is saving a life, and We
do not know of any paper which would
not print one as quickly as the other.
The murder, it is true, is apt to get
more space, because it possesses more
of the elements which appeal to the
interest of the average reader The
papers give space to the divorce suits
of Anna Gould and Consuelo Wander
bilt, but did they not record their mar
riages? They tell of the death of John
Smiths baby, but did they not also
chronicle its birth?
Newspapers must print the bad, or
much of it. as well as the good To
quote the Century again, News meets
especially the desire to know" a de
sire which existed before newspapers,
as we find in the naive confession of
chronicler of the time of Queen Anne
quoted in the Century in its definition
of News Letter" 81 love news eX-
tremely l have read three News Let
tiers today. l go from coffeehouse to
coffeehouse all day on purpose"
But be the definition of news what
it may: likewise The conception, it
does not remain for the fossilized re-
firing governor of the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, who sought to have
his state abrogate the constitutional
right of free press because the news
papers assailed the trusts, to prescribe
what shall be published or give any
advice whatsoever that is worth hav
ing

Governor Pennypaoker's Criticism.

Governor Pennypacker of PennSyi
vania, whose attitude toward newspa
pers have made him more widely
known than any official act during his
term, has a word of fatherly admoni
ton for them as he is about to retire
from office.
After trying in vain to gag the press
with his libel law he now offers ad.
vice which, if followed, would kill
newspapers more effectually than any
hostile legislation which might be en-
acted. Be good, is the governors adj
vice. and print only good news
Have you ever thought" he said
the other day to representative of
the Philadelphia Bulletin, what good
it would accomplish if there were an
Improvement in the public press? How
much better it would be if the news
papers were to look on the bright side
and not on the shady side of life?
How much good they would do were
they to tell of the good deeds of the
by the exceptions?"
To observe such rule would make
the dullest newspaper that ever went
to press. Conditions would have to be
reversed so that the newspaper might
print the good deeds of the minor
ity' before they would become news.
The fact that man is doing his duty
falls utterly short of the popular con-
ception or the newspaper mans idea
of news. 1t would not answer TO the
Century's definition. "a new or IN
common and more or less surprising
thing; new or unexpected event or
occurrence"
IL newspapers print more of bad
than good, if they appear to look on.

worst in society. it is because they

put it in words Git is generally neces-
sary to do this for the multitude in

CORD0VA BARN IS BURNED
Edgar Humphrey Loses Building and
Contents Worth $4,000.

Fire Sunday evening destroyed a
barn containing $1,000 worth of rye
straw on the farm of Edgar Humphrey,
which is located near Cordova. The
blaze was discovered after it had gain
ed such Roadway that it was useless to
attempt putting it out. Upwards of
175 bales of rye straw had recently
been put in the barn for the winter
and Mr.. Humphrey estimates his loss
between $1,000 and $4,000, including
the barn, on which there was no in
surance. The straw was valued at
$1,000 How the fire started is not
known.
