A lot of students of the school of

FUNCTION OF THE PRESS.

There is hardly a newspaper reader
in any community who in his own
opinion, could not conduct a paper
better than the local editors do. And
each one OF these literary geniuses
differ as to what a newspaper should
be. Some demand that all the sport
ing news shall be published down to
the minutest details; others hold that
the full details of the market report,
both local and foreign, should be pub
lished; others still wonder why some
obscure quarrel which appened late
at night in the lower end of the city,
reported to the police, while few
would everlastingly criticise every
public official in the city every day.
These different classes could be
properly educated into the newspaper
business in few years, but the
chances are that they never will be.
for the reason that they are so sure
they are right that nobody could by
any chance set them right.
The function of newspaper is to
print all the news-all the news. 1t
is impossible in a daily paper to cover
every item of sport or markets be-
cause this would exclude other very
important news in other departments.
A newspaper must print the most i'm
portant happenings in all departments
of news, and this makes it impossible
to go into minute details in any par
ticular department.
But above all things a newspaper
must not be personal. It is necessary
sometimes to criticise the conduct OF
individuals and men in office but
when this is done it is not because the
newspaper or some employe of the
newspaper has personal grudge
at the person thus criticised. It is be-
cause this criticism is in the best in
terests of the community, and any
newspaper which thus criticises to
satisfy a personal grudge will soon go
out of business. The function of the
public press is as sacred as the func-
tion of the courts, and in most cases
the managers and editors of newspa-
pers keep this fact in view all the
time. Fairness. justice and truth are
the three things which the Journalist
always strives after He may miss
them sometimes. but his intentions
are good.-Peoria (Ili) Herald-Trans-
cript.

THE WORLDS" CAMPAIGN
AGAINST BRYAN.


| During the last year the New York
| World has sought with great fervor
the definition of Democrat as the
word is applied in our party politics.
1t has also proved with frequent repe
titions that If Bryanite is synonym
for Democrat, the World Itself must
be counted out Nevertheless, IL
feels Democratic enough. in spite OF
the absolute confident prophesies OF
Bryans nomination. to desire to influ-
ence the Denver convention. 1t wants
to conduct a Democratic compaiga
and will support any one of several
candidates. But IL 1t does not bolt
Bryan in case he is the conventions
choice it must eat the largest dish OF
crow on record.
Its propaganda Is now carried be-
yond its regular sphere of influence in
pamphlet called "The Map of Bryan
ism; Twelve Years of Demagogy and
Defeat" which is further described as
IAN appeal to independent Democrat
ic thought" The map shows a strip
of southern states is all that is left of
Democratic territory. and the pamph-
let attacks Mr. Bryan because of his
agitation for silver the referendum
and government ownership, because
of his work for the Spanish treaty, be-
cause of his attitude toward the
courts, because, in fine, he is the fore
most Papulist in America.
The effort is worth noting. because
it will certainly arouse considerable |
sympathy in the south, and serve as
an inspiration to anti-Bryan Demo |
Gratis everywhere. II is particularly |
interesting in the west because as the
pamphlet appears in this part of the
country it contains an appendix deyot.
ed to laudation of Governor Johnson
of Minnesota. The World admires
johnson and believes that he would
be a great vote-getter. 1t thinks that
he would be 100000 votes stronger
than Bryan is in New York and New
Jersey, "He would carry every state
that Mr.. Bryan could carry, and he
would give has party a fighting chance
in the states where Mr.. Bryan's can
didacy would mean Republican
walk-oyer."
So far the only effect of the Worlds
upon Mr.. Bryan himself
has been to make him angry. Demo
Gratis must consider. however, the
probable results of more factional
wrangling. They cannot afford to
overlook the possibility Of a union for
