TELLING THE TRUTH

A writer signing himself "a New York
Editor" discussing the subject Of newspa.
pers in general and more particularly Of the
metropolitan press, in the current number
of the atlantic Monthly, asks this question,
"Can q newspaper tell its readers the truth
and pay it's way?" AS he does not answer
the question In the remainder of the article,
we are left to the inference that the "pay-
ing" metropolitan newspapers Of which he
has knowledge have never tested the ques-
ton by telling their readers the truth.
To say that there are great city newspapers
which make profitable business out Of con-
cealing the truth from their readers and de-
signedly imposing falsehood upon them In
order TO "pay their way" startling as the
statement may appear to many, is about the
only conceivable explanation Of the politi-
cal course of certain daily newspapers print.
cd in this State. A newspaper which can
with all its iervor In one campaign beseech
and implore the people to adopt certain pol.
icies and support certain party, which
will In the next campaign turn Its back up
on the measures, the policies and the party
it supported IN the first, and in the third
campaign repudiate and denounce the prin.
ciples OF the party 1t swore by In the second
campaign, cannot escape the strong suspi-
cion that it is actuated by some selfish, &C.
cret, Interior motive, especially If that paper
can afford to sacrifice thousands OF sub.
scribers In boldly pursuing such devious
course.
What would be said of a politician who
openly did such thingP He would be re-
garded either as crazy or corrupt and pur-
chasable knave.,,
The Baltimore Sun, in dealing with q
subject somewhat akin to this, has this to
say:
"a candidate should have definite ideas
and principles. After mature consideration
and consultation with those in whom he
has confidence, after he has weighed well
the relations between employer and en-
ploye and all economic questions involved,
he should announce his policies and stand
by them. A man who, for the purpose OF
views and policies with the rise and fall Of
political temperature Is mere opportunlst,
without fixed principles or purposes.
If this be true-and no one will dispute
it-does II not also apply with equal force
TO q newspaper Yet 1t would not be any
thing like as discredtable for newspaper
to change its views and policies for the pur.
pose Of currying favor with the voters who
subscribe TO 1t as it is to turn repeated sum.
ersaults with regard TO political parties and
principles and be able to furnish no reason
able or plausible explanation for such journ-
Alistic gymnastics.
The Sun has been guilty Of the latter Of
Tense. Its reward may be sufficient to "pay
Ito way" for while. But what will be the
outcome In the long run, when credit is
gone, the confidence of the people wholly
forfeited, the Republican campaign funds
exhausted and Bryan in the White Housed

CHARGES CORRUPT INTENT.

The feature OF William J. Bryans jour
ney through his native State Of Illinois on
Monday was the accusation, repeatedly
made, that the Republican party was now
preparing to purchase the election. The
statement, first made at Alton, caused dis
tinct sensation. The Democrats, he said,
were asking only for 100000 with which
to finish the work Of the campaign, while
the Republicans were asking for 81 100000.
"What do they need the money for now ?"
he inquired, and answering his own ques.
ton, he declared 1t was for use on election
day, "as they have used 1t year after year"
Mr.. Bryan then made direct charge that
the Republican committee is now raising
from favored "interests" million dollars,
hoping Herewith to purchase the election,
but that all their money would not save
them.
One of the surprising features Of the trip
was the monster demonstration accorded
him at Joliet, great labor center. But ten
days ago he spoke in the same place. He
talked mainly on the labor question. Vo
ciferous applause greeted him when he said !:
my friends, think too much Of the
next generation to stop my efforts to rid
this country OF the evil of private monopo.
ly. am willing to 60 down on my knees
every morning and say to my Father in
heaven, Give us this day our daily bread, ;
but God forbid that Ishould make my coun-
trymen go down on their knees at morning
and say to a trust magnate, Give us this
day our daily bread, and have him answer,
Il will II you will vote the ticket want
you to-
"You cannot afford to fasten that sort of
system on this country or any other coun.
Try"

a BRILLIANT CANVASS AND A
POMPOU9 PARADE

William Jennings Bryan Is now on the
final tour OF the most brilliant political can
vass that has ever been made In this country.
He has been heard and wildly appauded
by millions of his fellow-countrymen and
will yet be heard by millions more. He
has presented facts and arguments In sup
port OF the doctrines and principles for
which he stands that cannot be successfully
combated, and doubtless that is the reason
the opposition has made no serious attempt
pto combat them, but has given its time al
most wholly to denunciation OF the unim-
peachable character OF the candidate.
William Howard Taft has been making
pompous parade through the country has
been greeted by great crowds, but has been
heard by comparatively few on account,
1t is said, OF the failure of his voice; il may
be also, to some extent, on account of the
weakness of his arguments. But be has
paraded all the same-paraded In fine fash
ion. He has said In the West that he has
been the friend of labor-labor knows bet.
ter; that he personally" favors several
planks contained in the Democratic plat
form-a fiat reputation Of the platform on
which he is running, rebuke to the con.
vention which adopted 1t, a statement di.
rectly In opposition to the fixed purposes of
his party and therefore of no avail, excep
TO discredit the whole outfit. He has tolt
the people OF the East that Bryan favors th,
destruction of all corporations-a brazer
untruth, made out of the whole cloth; b,
has called men liars and fools from the pub
lie platform. He has told the people OF the
South that they should betray their Demo
cratic principles Ia order to "gain power
(get more Offices from the Federal Govern
ment-become chronic offlcehoders, such as
he has been). He has paraded to the White
House at Washington upon the Sabbath
day, held political caucus in the morning
praraded later, through the streets, afoot
with Roosevelt, his political guardian, tC
the Unitarian church, to show the worlG
that he is all right and the church must bs
all right, because otherwise Roosevelt, The
bear killer and African tiger hunter, would
not be willing to 60 there with him; ant
they even had the preacher preach ser
mon designed TO throw an agreeable side
light on the spectacular parade.
And Bill Taft is still paradng-still parad
ing
Cracking hoarsely those old things he sale
before,
While his hopes are swiftly fading-whollJ
fading
And Bills getting awful sore.
But he'll surely stop paradlng-cease parad
ing
Long about November 4.
Will we ever hear from Bill after the cleo.
