PARASITES OF TIE PRESS.

From st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
1t is amusing in these days of IL
Vulnerable magazines and tramp
weeklies to note a ~patronizi1g air in
such periodicals toward the daily
press, with lofty comment at times
about Newspaper English" These
magazines and weekiies spring up
much in the fashion OF ragweed after
the harvest is gathered, yet claim to
be the choicest production of the
soil and the browning triumph of the
sunshine and the rain. Upon the daily
press rests the great task of collect
ing the news of the day, weighing its
comparative values and giving it in
p~reseltable fashion. This business
costs an enormous amount of money
in h aggregate AID must be carried
on through an army of correspondents
and other news representatives. A
talent for organizing these forces is
necessary also. Mechanical depart
ments on the largest scale must be
provided for instantaneous action.
The injunction to DO TT NOW
Is q HldllcE OI COuISe IN q Q4lly news
paper ONCE. The rule is ~self-execut-
ing and as imperative as the circuit
OF the clock. Upon the daily press
also rest the immediate demands of
political and social comment and dis
cussion. and herein is the RESPONSE
bilty of the quick decision that goes
true to the mark in situations that
to the unframed mind would seem to
be a hopeless -tangfe Of conflicting
circumstances.
The Sunday editions OF the chief
dailies preserve and expand b best
characteristics OF the magazine of
high standing. and their art features
are constantly enlarged and improved
through the week In live iitera-
ture the daily press not only leads,
but pays the bills. and 1t makes the
ccn1binatiQns by which the news Of
the world is momentarily flashed TO
all communftiea But It has also adop-
q broader field in literature and
art than &C former1y attempted to oc-f

Want a Change of Venue.

New York, May 18.-Justfce Dow
ling is expected to a decis-
ion Monday in the plea for a change
of venue made in behalf of President
Frederick A. Burnnam and Auditor
George Eldridge, of the Mutual Re
serve Insurance company, who are
charged with grand larceny and per
jury, Attorneys for the indicted mel
allege that a strong prejudice against
insurance men exists in New York
county. 1t is thought that the plea
will be refused and that the trial will
begin Monday.

cupy, has made such progress
that it is far in advance in public at
tractiveless.
At the same time many of the mag
azines and weeklies try at a long dis
lance to preserve a continuity of in
terests with the dailies, though they
considerably permit the latter to
pay the news bills, contentilg them
selves with the privileges of fungi
existence, first among which is a
sense of self-complacency impaired
by meditating on the glories of the
old monthly and quarterly reviews.
In this period any one with a file
of dailies, a scrap-book and a dictioa-
airy of dates, can start magazines or
contribute to them ~profusely. but the
notion that this mechanical operation
entities the person thus occupied to
look down upon the daily press and
newspaper English" is a laughable
development. If the daily press should
suspend, the magazines would have
to stop,too, for they would be depriv-
ed of the current facts they browse
upon without meeting any of the ex-
penses of their collection.

THE MAJOR TAKES 70
THE WRITING OF LETTERS

From Albuquerque JoilrnaL
It has been a mater Of current
comment how faithfully and carefully
and rigidly Major William Henry Har-
rison Llewellyn, United States attor-
ney for New Mexico has confined him-
self to the duties Of his high Office
since his appointment It is well
known that the major has never for
a moment separated himself from
those duties to Engage il the i1tri-
CUES and dirty mixups of territorial
politics. 1t is known and mas been
the cause of much admiring comment
that the major has not allowed him
self to become embroiled in squabbles
about brick and other things. 1t is
known that the major mas ever sup
ported the right and that he stood
solidly behind Governor Hagerman in
his effort to purge a republican par
ty of corruption. 1t is known that
he major never filed a charge against
Governor Hagerman in Washington
Or anywhere else, and that he always
stood behind him in his efforts for
the right.
All this-a1d more, is proven con-
c~lusively by the following copy of a
letter which cannot but prove inter
esting to the people of New Mexico:
Albuquerque, Aug. 5, 1906.
My Dear General Reid had in
tended coming up to Santa Fe to see
you about certain things and also to
see the governor, but was compelled
to return to Los Cruces tonight and
will nave to defer my trip n the
pleasure of seeing you for the pres
ent.
There are many rumors in the air
relating to brick and other things. All
that l can say is that the people of
the territory will stand by the gov
n in anything that he does 10

bring to justice any one who has talk
en- the property of the territory. How
any self respecting man could take
brick from the territory n not pay
for the same is more than | a under
stand. The way to strengthen the re-
publican party is to purge it of corrup
ton. l am not going into conventions

is nominated for the legislature who

duct Of affairs. | mean by this that !
