must be accomplished.
Said he: "The press has ire
mendous possibilities. When writ
ing of death, despair, ignorance,
solitude, the editor has an oppor-
tunity of weaving thread that
will raise people from sin into
grace but it is in this opportunity
that the press fails. In its rush and
hurry to print in big red letters,
all the latest crime and sensation
the press neglects the finer and
more important points and thus its
greatest power is lost. "
"The publishers of a newspaper
ARE not to blame. You get just
exactly wliat you want. SO long as
you demand sensation, ii will
that part that the reporter will fea-
ture in all his stories. 1t will always
be that way until the public awak-
ems and demands something differ

to serve the public in the way of
introducing and familiarizing it
with the daily transactions of the
world.
"The prsss is the public's infor-
mant, vet it should be something
more. 1t should serve as an educator
and in this line it has tremendous
strength. The newspaper that only
informs is a very cheap commodity"

ses-Local Rumblings.

The recent accident report OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission
gave railroad critics an excellent
opportunity to call attention to the
fatalities attendant upon travel
ing. One paper went so far in its
denunoiation Of railroads and their
managers as to refer to the Erie's
@slaughter of helpless victims. "
This statement was controverted
by General Attorney George N.
Orcutt of the Erie. GAS a matter
cf fact" said Mr.. Orcutt, "the
record shows that between March
1, 1905, and July 81, 1907, the
Erie and its controlled lines car
ried 56,196,153 passengers and not
one Of them was fatally injured.
The Erie's critics are fond of call
ing it slow but the management
has preferred safety to unsafe speed
and to that end has speed limit
ON every mile of track. An engin-
eer who runs 50 miles an hour,
where the schedule fixes 40 as the
limit, gets a vacation without pay
The block system is enforced with
unyielding rigor and so closely are
the movements of passenger trains

tions from the running rules are
punished. We do not run excursion

Five ears of an Erie gravel train
were derailed at a point near De
Cliff, about ten miles west of hert

blocked practically all forenoon
The rails spread under the heavily
loaded train precipitating five car,

An interesting illustrated lecture
was delivered Sunday evening to a
large audience in the Calvary Evan
gelical church, on the subject of the
leducation of the negro, Dy G.. +.
Richings, representative from the
Curry Normal school at Urbana,
Ohio.
Prior to the lecture, Mr.. Richings
who is great traveller, gave brief
address, saying that the negro is
here tostay, and 1t is our duty to
help him elevate himself in the
world. f
Among the pictures was one of
Abraham Lincoln and his cabinet,
taken about the time of the signing
of the proclamation of emancipation
by the first martyred president. Af-
ter this followed pictures OF negro
schools in Georgia, Alabama, Miss
issippi, North Carolina, South Car
Iolina and other states.
Portraits of eminent negroes were
shown, and one of the most inter-
esting illustrations was Booker T.
Washington's school at Tuskegee,
Ala, showing all the different
buildings connected with this insti-
tuition.
The last few pictures were those
|of the Curry school, where students
|are taught trades, which has risen
from very humble beginnings, and
after an enormous amount of hard
work, to present capacity. There
are no less than 100 pupils there
now, and 1t is hoped in time to
make Curry school one of the largest
industrial schools in the country for
colored people. Mr.. Richings will
present his pictures and lecture
Wednesday night of this week at the
First Presbyterian church. All are
invited.
"It Is TERRIBLE outrage that
dirty politics should enter local
school affairs to impair and destroy
the educational possibilities Of
ow children" said Rev. G.. M.
Rourke when preaching before a
large audience at the Presbyterian
church Sunday evening on "The
Power and Possibility of the
Press. /" The minister took a direct
slap at the city school board,
claiming that the members have
not properly performed their duties
because of "dirty politics. "
"We are twenty years behind IN
tellectually, we are nothing to brag
of spiritually and are silly social
w." declared the minister. "Ninety
per cent of our population receive
all of their education in the schools
of the city and then to think when
the average child only has at the
most, several years in which TO gain
a practical education, that rotten
politics should enter 10 even deprive
it of single privilege, -
In referring directly to his sub
iect, the power Of the press, Rev.
Rouake sttaed that the people must
be kept in touch with the doings
of the world and named the press
