THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. 2l, 1907.

THAT there are too many newspapers
in this country is patent fact, but the
high water mark, it is believed, has been
reached and the recediDg tide will carry
many into oblivion. 10 one publication
received at this Office today DO less than
forty.twO newspapers in various sections
are offered for gale, some at ridiculously
low prices and most all for the reason
that their owners wish to embark in
more profitable business. The truth is
the newspaper business has been vastly
overdOne and with few exceptions out
side the big cities the earnings are 30
small as 10 be entirely incommensurate
with the labor and worry of the publish
ers. many of whom are nov being
driven from the journalistic field. The
time was, snd not many years ago,
either, that with few hundred pounds OF
type and a cheap press a man of ordinary
intelligence could start a newspaper and
make living, too. But times have changed
and now the money required to proper
ly equip an Office and The big expense
attached 10 the publication Of a daily
make such an investment 80 risky that
bat few are now found willing to engage
in a business that offers 30 small re-
Eurns. Then. too, the cheap big dailies of
the big cities, through the medium of
she fast mails and the rural free deliv-
cries, are sent broadcast through the
smaller cities, the towns and the county,
leaving but email field for the papers
of less prets1tons.

A NEW death test which absolutely
precludes the possibility of burial alive
has been discovered at the Lsriboisiere
Hospital, in Paris. Experiments have
shown that photographs of bodies taken
even few minutes after death reveal
clearly the outlines of all the organs,
whereas if the photographs are taken
during life the organs are not revealed.
Some people add to the burdens of life
by cogitating on the possibility of being
buried alive at the close of their worldly
mission. The above statement should
afford much relief.

The statement made by Justice Brewer
in his speech before the Civic Forum at
Carnegie Hall, New York, that President
Roosevelt is "plsyiDg hide and seek, :"
in his high Office wss quite a JOLT to the
friends of the administration here. That
one Of the most dignifed members Of The
highest court in the lard should have
thus characterized the Presidents atti-
tude on the third term question is re-
garded by some as almost approaching
lese majestic, and it is suggested that the
President may resent it in some strenuous
manner. Justice Brewers friends, how
ever, contend that there was no intention
upon his part to be offensive to the Pres
iient. Despite bis past election announce
ment, which he incorporated in many
forms since, that he would not accept
another presidential term, President
Roosevelt has been accused of being Sec
retive as TO his real intentions. While
many of his polilicnl callers have en-
deavored to draw him out again on this |
subject, the President has not seen fit to |
become more explicit or to reiterate bis
former declarations. 1t is to this sit
uation that Justice Brewer evidently re-
ferred when be spoke about the "hide
and seek" game, and it is believed By
the Justices friends that whatever crit
icism he meant was intended to apply
rather to those who are trying to smoke
out the President, than to the President
himself.
