 nalists of Jinxoism.

NOT INTERVIEWED.
Captain Smith and Pocahontas Got
 No Press Notices,

NORFOLK, Va, June 14.-"Journal- ism Since Jamestown" was the subject of an address delivered before the Ma tional Editorial association at the Jamestown exposition by Crosby s. Moves, editor of the Washington Star. MT. Moves reviewed the history and struggles of Captain John Smith and deplored the fact that Captain Smith did not have an energetic independent press to back him up in his great work.
 MT. Moves compared the achieve ments of Captain Smith in planting and sustaining the English colony with the deeds of President Roosevelt in this generation and declared that they 'were as worthy of glorifcation, but lacked the aid of the newspaper press that has so greatly helped the latter in his upward career" The newspa- pers, the speaker declared, have given Mir. Roosevelt their vigorous support in his reform policies, have exploited all his sayings and doings through the twenty-four hours of the day, glorified the man and his work and made his name household word in every home in the land. "AIr. Roosevelt has seem ed somewhat slow in acknowledging his indebtedness to the press" MT. Moves said, but perhaps he will think of It some day when he is not too busy. Captain John Smith had no such news paper aid, and his great deeds have therefore gone 'unhonored and un- sung
 And whether Mfr. Roosevelt is elect ed by exclamation for third term or rules by deputy in the shape of president designated by him, or wheth- CT, after. an interval of four years, he shall again take the presidency, he will receive the cordial support of the press in all his great efforts for the public good and the national welfare. At the same time. the press will reserve the right fearlessly and truthfully' to criticise his acts when they are in- considerate and unjust.
 "The newspapers have nothing to ask of him but fair treatment. They will not be unduly elated if he pats them on the back. and the equanimity will not be greatly disturbed should he give them the cold shoulder. They hold themselves to be ordained preach CTS as well as MT. Roosevelt, and they will keep their pulpits for all time; for presidents may come and presi- dents may go. but the press goes on | forever"
