cry newspaperman in the country. 1t
is his special news instinct which tells
him what to print and what not to
print. 1t is the man, too, with the
keenest nose for the needs of the read
ing public that draws the highest sail
airy. The department storekeeper knows
t. a nicely what to display in his shop
windows. The same is true of the
newsman, who will be found to be
willing to eliminate an account of the
Thaw trial if his readers will let
him. If he undertakes to be arbitra-
~ about it he will have no readers
left to care what he prints upon any
other subject. For that reason we do
not look to see the suggestions of the
esteemed Charleston News and Court
er adopted. The Thaw trial will take
its chances with the news of the day
and the reading public will boss the
job.

it needs to lead the Democratic party
along conservative yet progressive
lines. There is no settled communi-
ty of interests among the other States
of the Union, not one of which can be
carried for a policy of experiment.
Should the South enter the next DEM
ocratic national convention with the
determination to control it so far as
the expression of party views is con-
cerned and should it place in nominal
ton a man Of its own selection, it
might not win the campaign, but it
would surely establish the organiza
ton upon a basis which would permit
it to again take its place among the
forces of progress. The alternative
Of not doing this is a renewal of old
antagohisms, the final Encouragement
of men who have not yet lost faith in
the proposed revival of old ideals, the
introduction Of more experimentalists
and the strengthening of the party in
power. No wonder that men are think

A MlTIGATED SC4RE.

John D. Rockefellers doctor tells
him and all of us that he is likely to
live twenty-five years more. OF course
the doctor doesn't know, but his guess
is founded on the tendency Of the
Rockeferers to live long, and on the
present physical condition Of John D.
This guess opens an interesting pros
pect. Awhile ago some people
thought that if Rockefeller could live
long enough he would own the earth,
and the talk was that his fortune was
then a billion, and was increasing at
the rate of hundred millions a year
or 50. Since then several things have
which have mitigated what
might be called the Rockefeller scare.
Rockefeller himself has declared that
he isn't worth a third of billion
Things have happened to some of his
investments that have greatly reduced
their market value. His pet concern
has just been fined trifle of 10000
goo and it has been shown that he is
subject to the law,
SO it is perceived that Rockefeller
isn't going to own the earth just yet,
and if he lives twenty-five years more
he won't own it. 1t is not probable
that he will die poor, but it is not
probable that he will live to rule over
a race Of slaves There is no sign
that he wants to. All the people who
are not worth a billion. or even a
third of a billion, can therefore con-
tinue to sleep nights if they are in
dustrlous and watchful enough days.

A MEBIroRroUs APPEAL.

Mr. Watterson's dark horse with a
mustache" is still pretty dark, and
Mr.. Watterson himself isn't trying to
illuminate him. Just now he is en-
gagged in asking the good and inhu-
entail Democrats if they wont please
be good enough and influential enough
to have his beloved Louisville selected
as the place of meeting Of the next
Democratic National convention.
OF course Chicago won't see any
merit in this appeal. She only
wants both of the big conventions, and
the indications now are that she will
get them. But If the Democratic Ma
tional convention can't be held in New
Haven, of which there now seems to
be some doubt we don't see why it
shouldn't be held in louisville. Louis
vile is only a little south Of the mid
die of the country, and is about as
convenient for all the delegates as
Chicago would be. 1t is the home Of
Mr.. Watterson and his paper, and he
and it would furnish needed and val
liable inspiration to the convention
Louisville certainly has claims on
the Democrats which shouldn't be OBJ
scured by the aggressive commercial
ism Of the Chicago boomers.

SENSATIONAL couMr NEWs.

The Charleston News and Courier
has undertaken to persuade the news
papers Of the country to agree not to
report the approaching trial of young
Thaw for the murder of Stanford
White. It's plan is to request the AS
ISOLATED Press to cut out its daily tele-
graphic reports. 1T will be enough
to say" explains our contemporary,
when the case Is called to trial that
the trial has been begun, and when
the trial is ended it will be quite
'enough to say that Thaw has been
acquitted or convicted, as the case
may be, of the murder with which he
stands charged" The intent is to
give the case as little publicity as is
consistent with the keeping of prop
err record of the crime.
The Hartford Times in commenting
upon the suggestion Of its Charleston
contemporary says that "a good many
other American newspapers will be
quite ready to agree" with its SUCCESS
ton. As much as we sympathize
personally with the purpose of this
suggestion we do not look to see it ac-
cepted by the managers of the Asso-
ciated Press. If it could be accepted
and enforced by agreement or other
wise then 1t would become possible for
editors to control their pages, feat
which has not yet been achieved by
the most powerful of them. 1t is a
common belief among men that news
papers can be controlled by their
managements in the matter of news
to be published. 1t Is this common
belief that makes nine men out of
ten confident Of their ability to man.
age a newspaper better than the men
actually charged with the task. There
is not newspaper in the land of con-
sequence enough to be read that is not
being advised all of the time as to the
improvements which could be made
in its appearance, Nor do any two of
these voluntary suggestions agree.
What one man eloquently advises an
other overlooks altogether for some
more congenial plan of his own. Ex-
perience has therefore taught that
to be acceptable to the greatest num-
Der a newspaper must continue to play
the part of a mirror, letting each
human incident find its own renec-
ton in print.
There have been any number of en-
pertaining lectures prepared and de-
livered telling the story of how this
that and the other thing could be
done in editing a newspaper to the
advantage of society. In a few in
stances these ideas have been tested
through the medium of newspapers
especially designed to test them. They
have all failed in direct proportion tc
the amount of independence exercised
in the editorial rooms in ignoring the
demands of the newspaper reading
market 1t has been demon
strated over and over again that

WARSHIPs or THE AIR.

The men Of Imagination see straight.
Jules Verne's submarines are in good
working order, and Tennysons aerial
warships soon viii be. In fact the first
ones arc already flying. An airship built
for the French government sailed over
Paris the other morning for an hour
and a half, going at will with the wind
against 1t and across it. This craft
carried a crew of two officers and two
men and was under complete control at
all times Nineteen more alrships Of
this type, 1t is said, are to be built at
once for the use of the French army,
while, the training Of the officers and
men who win manage them has al
ready begun, Germany is not behind.
She has an airship, with room on its
platform for six men, two quiclx-firing
guns and an apparatus for throwing
explosives into the Notifications or
among the troops Of the enemy. With
in the space Of quarter mile it is
said that it can soar for hours at a
time at height of 1,7CO yards, noting
all that is going on beneath it and us
ing its weapons Of offense as oppor-
tunity offers.
Meanwhile gentlemen at The Hague
conference continue to cry peace, peace.
Perhaps peace will finally be brought
about by making war so dangerous
and deadly that nobody will want to
fight.

EDUCATION

A definition that defines is a good
thing. and it is interesting to notice
that the Visitors to West Point came
pretty near saying something when
they said that an educated man is not
n erely trained to proficiency in a pro-
fession, but has had his susceptible
ties so drawn out and developed that
he enters upon life capable Of appre-
eating the best 1t has to offer in the
way Of learning, art, literature and
science, both Historically and in their
relation to the life Of to-day; having
also some knowledge Of himself and
Of his place in the universe about
him, and inspired with desire for
mental growth which will stimulate
and dominate him, no matter what his
occupation or how long he may live.
Perhaps a man educated like this
wouldn't be the most efficient fighting
man, but If there were enough men
educated like this there would be no
fighting. So 1t may be that on the
whole the Visitors to our big school
for the training Of warriors did we'll
to set before the school such a dehni-
ton of education.

Nothing is going to compel abandon
ment of the automobile. AS we'll talk
of giving UP steam cars and returning
to stage coaches. But the fact re-
mains that the automobile is. very
dangerous plaything. Nobody would
take an express train, If told that the
engineer was a school boy who had had
several lessons in running the engine.
But in the automobile, which is a small
engine with all the possibilities of
peril that power brings with it, small
boy will squat himself after few les
sons and off he starts down the high
way imperiling those he is carrying
and all outside of his vehicle. The
more it is impressed on the public that
an automobile is very dangerous
thing the less chance Of danger from it.

LUTHER AND THE 1oBBr.

The affeetionate interest in which
Senator Luther is held by the people
of the State is shown by the wide
spread attention which has been given
an interview with him in which he
spoke of his legislative experience. Es-
pecial attention has been directed to
his assertion that he did not see any
improper lobbying during the session
and that what entertained him a lot
was the social side of the legislative
association.
Senator Luther's myopia when it
comes to the lobby shows him up in
something of naive light. IT does
not seem to occur to him that he is ex-
actly not the kind of game the lobby
goes cunning for, The man who
sees most of the lobby is the man who
more than meets it half way There
is in fact law of affinity at work
which brings together the man with
something to sell and the man who
has something to buy. That Senator
Luther does not understand this
makes an immune of him. He will
stand without hitching.
AS for the social side of legislative
work that oftentimes is the most de-
Imoralizing of all adverse influences.
The social animal has more to fear
than the unsocial one. He needs
either large experience or hundred
lightning rods out.

After the dream Mr.. Kuu could not
