One way for the big newspapers to
meet the increasing cost of white pa
per would be to cut down the size of
their publications, especially of their
Sunday editions. A majority of them
carry a large amount of syndicate
matter for which the average reader
does not care, and the cheap illustra-
tons and gaudy headlines are really
obnoxious to most newspaper readers.
1t is not length but strength that
makes a story. 1t is not quantity but
quality that makes a newspaper. The
best newspaper authorities are now
agreed that the newspaper of the flu,
ture is to be smaller with fewer pages
smaller type and less exaggerated
headlines. And the Daily News be
lives that the public will welcome the
change

The Ups and DouDns
of a Railroad King

Royal stability is an uncertain guam

Railroad King especially comes and
goes,-and the world knows him no

pletion of the Northern Pacific, was
hailed as the new great power; year
later he was deehroned and bank

is on the Gecline. His juggling with
the Alton drew the limelight of pub
Ieity upon mis- actions. Recently he
was ousted from the road by his
former friend nd associate, Edwin p.
HawIey who, from Southern Pacific
ticket agent in New York in 1900, has
metamorphased into a railroad mag
nate since Collins P. Huntington's
death. At present Mr.. Hartman is
engaged in a struggle for life with
Stuyvesant Fish, with the Illinois
Central as the bone of contention.
Since the |. C's. service goes on as
usual, the people at large can afford
to look on with complacency, saying
as we do: 1t none of our business
There is al old French proverb;

Booker T. Woshington's

Young hopeful has been trying to
enlighten the North as to the char
acteristics of his race. The young
man, it appears, entered old Philips
Exeter Academy, at Exeter, N H.,
on Sept IL, and instead of being pet
ted and fondled, was treated exactly
like white students. This, he Thought,
was a reflection upon his attractive
color and, according to the repHt of
President Harlan p. Amen, he pro
ceeded to show his superiority.
The head of the academy declares
that the young scamp was treated
exactly as any of the 400 white boys
and the half dozen other young neg
roes, but that he refused to obey the
rules of the institution; on this ac
count he was punished or put on pro
baton. The faculty, it seems, was
in quandary: New England has beer
so hysterical about the poor negro
that it was not deemed advisable tt
use coercive measures with student
of so prominent t?) a family. A coun
Gil was called and it was decided t.
place him under arrest in the dormi
tory during certain hours. The young
fellow could not bear such insolence
He stated that he would leave at once
and did so notwithstanding Mr.
Amen's efforts to keep him unit
Booker T. could be heard from.

vor Of reason? know not how Mr..
Quin voted in the race for governor
nor does it AFFECT, in the least, his
ability as a presiding officer. Do we
elect governor and then bow in
subservience to his wishes in electing
all other state Officers? Was it the
purpose Of our constitution to merge
the three great branches of govern
ment-the executive, judicial and leg
islative-under one great head-the
executive? Do the trends of Mr.. Noel
desire that she should dominate the
legislative as we'll as the executive de-
partment? I ask the question and
answer 1t too. as am supporter OF
Mr.. Noel and great admirer of the
man.
We, the friends of Mr.. Noel, do not
care for him to control any office ex-
cept that to which he was elected.
Mr.. Noel and his trends do not
think that the governor should even
have the power that he now has as
to the selection of other officers, witt
ness the fact that from every stump
in the state Senator Noel advocated
an elective Judiciary. If the speaker
of the house must be supporter Of
the governor, If he must be in
thorough accord on all subjects with
the chef executive. why not make the
speakership an appointive- by the
governor--positio Or why not
make the governor, ex-officio, speaker
OF the house.
The legislature, when 1t assemblies
in, January, will elect speaker with
no question but the real qualifications

The members-elect of the next
Mississippi legislature are daily re-
ceiving marked copies of newspapers

aspiring to be speaker of the next
house AS one of those who are re-
ceiving such marked copies Of papers,
/ have take some time to go into the
relative merits of the candidates for
the place; and after such investiga-
ton have come to the conclusion
that all these gentlemen seeking the
position are easily worthy of the
place and not one word of aspersict
is justified against any one of them.
Some of the papers have seen fit to
say some rather nasty things about
some Of the candidates and, as usual
it is to be deplored that resort should
be had to such.
The worst thing that is being done
is the effort to draw the governor
elect into the controversy, but it is to
the honor of Mr.. Noel that he is hav-
ing nothing to do with it and seems
by his acts, to be satisfied to let the
members of the legislature choose for
themselves. And surely it is, and has
always been, the purpose of our con-
stitution to make the speakership a
position to which man from the
rank and file OF the assembly should
be elevated, untrammelled by oaths
of allegiance to the man in the COVER
nors office or any other man or clan
One paper says that Hon. H. M
Quin of Kinds. should not be elected
because he is from jackson, and be
cause he is not in accord with Mr.
Noel's distinctive policies
