The Ideal Newspaper

What the public wants is an indie
pendent newspaper. The reader
will tolerate. and like, any amount
of teaching tactfully and modestly
offered. He will not be preached
at or bullied. 1t is really rather a
matter of directing public thought
up right lines than of indicating
new and experimental policies. The
newspaper, indeed, should be crit
ical rather than constructive. Our
constitution provides for three dis
tinct functions OF gOvernment-leg
islative, judicial and executive; and
it is the duty of what is correctly
called in England the fourth estate
of the realm to provide the fourth
necessity, healthy criticism for all
three.
1t follows that newspaper may
criticise a verdict or a decision of
the courts, but must not NEEDLE
with the proper and lawful hand
ling of case on trial. In the
same way, the newspaper should
watch where corrupt legislation
can be defeated, in order to drag
it out into that dry light where the
air is always too strong for its
lungs The legislators must do the
rest, and it is the business of the
newspaper to hold them to their
duty.
In like manner, the fullest pub
licity is one of the most valuable
checks upon the acts of any eXecu-
tiveOfficer. We know that the bal
ance was most delicately adjusted
by the trainers of the constitution,
and in this department there is a
continual tendency to usurp the
functions of the other two. Nothing
could be better for political morals
than the way in which newspapers
have emphasized the correct atti-
tude of Governor Hughes in confin-
| Ing himself strictly to his business,
holding the other departments of
our constitutional government
strictly responsible for theirs.-At-
lantic Monthly.

So it was but natural that all
New Zealand should have greeted
their kinsfolk from across the sea.
And all New Zealand did.
At no port on the fleet mad Pa
cific coast was more spontaneous
and sincere enthusiasm met with
than in this distant Antipodean isle.
But the individual entertainment

showed the great pro-American
heart of the people. 1t is dangerous
to make prophetic political fore

RED BLOOD IN new zEAuANDS WELCOME TO navy
Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to Ths Press
ON BOARD U. s. s. GEORGIA,
AUCKLAND, N H., Aug. Is, 1905
There was no mere touching of fin
ger tips or exchange Of meaning
less greetings in the welcome ex-
tended Americas sea fighters by
New Zealand, when the battleship
fleet dropped anchors in the beauti-
full harbor of Auckland. -
1t was the gripping of the sinewy
fighting hands of two great, virile
peoples, both on the same job. For
warm and red courses the blood of
the people of this far flung island
outpost of the British empire, and
they love the battler in the individ-
ual or in the race. They had lost
faith in America, and not without
cause. Until the coming of our
fighting ships and our fighting men
they had pictured us people UNI
worthy of our traditions; flabby,
wealth worshipping, self satisfied
people; a people SO mercenary that
in our mad struggle for individual
wealth we had sacrificed our ma
tional strength; people enslaved
by, trusts and parrotted by political
demagogues; a people careless Of
the responsibilities imposed upon
us in the worlds work.
But the fleet of staunch fighting
craft, manned by crews as fit and
full of fight as ever sailed under
the flag of a people with the salt of
the seas in their veins, represented
the America which they had long
wished to believe existed.
The America which had refused
indemnity from a helpless Asiatic
empire and had crumpled up a |
European monarchy, for it's blood |
stained display of colonial incom-
potency.
The America which has come
into the troublous Pacific, deter
mined to have a square deal.
1t was the great barred arm of
Uncle Sam which was madly
cheered by the thousands of New
Zealanders who crowded the bold
headlands of Auckland harbor that
Sunday morning to witness the en-
trance of the fleet.
True, the sleeve of Uncle Sam
was but casually tucked up, but the
great, steely sinews of his fighting
arm were exposed.
And it was the sinewy hand with |
the kid glove slipped off which was
gripped by New Zealand. There

COLONEL VIM. F. STEWART
not half his service, nor his merits,
some who had been in the service
two or three years only. He had
picked out captains of the line and
made them brigadier generals. He
took a pork-and-beans major who
had never commanded troops in
his life, and who was never I'M
der fire, and made him a brigadier
general. Dozens of lieutenant
colonies were given the star, just
to get rid of them. Here was an
old man of clean record-why
wasn't he entitled to a look-in?
So he declined. And they let
him broil out in the desert until
the order came to take the prac-
tice ride-they ride they won't let
him take now because they fear,
dear, tender, solicitous souls, that
his heart won't stand it.
Something more needs be said.
In all his service Colonel Stewart
never held volunteer rank, while
General Duvall, as a captain of
artillery, was appointed successive
ly in the volunteer service, a major
and inspector general, lieutenant
colonel and chief ordnance officer,
and finally colonel of the Fifty
eighth infantry which had a pleas
ant sail to Manila and back. But
he is known as a brilliant cOnversa-
| tionalist, has been repeatedly on
| detail as military attache, is club
man. and now serves as assistant
chief of staff-a fine place from
which to supervise the weal-and
woe-of individuals in the service
Along in 1877, Stewart was
brevetted captain, and the army
register cerjifies it, for gallant
services in action against hostile
Indians"
But that's a long while back
and gallant services in 1877 count
for little in 1908.
The question now in vogue in the
army is not, what's his service?
But, what's his pull?

fleet turned northward toward
Manila.
The concluding chapters will be
writ as our American congress
elects, either in blood or in peace
full adjustment of racial and COM
mercial differences.
The shibboleth of these people is
"A white Australasia" In the fleet
they have seen the power of a
kindred people with interests in
Asia, which they purpose to pre-
serve for a white race. An observ-
ance by the home government of
any treaty with any Asiatic power
which was in conflict with America
would mean the immediate disinte-
grafton of the British empire, and
these far eastern colonies would be
the first to hack at Britain's en-
pirical props. These people realize
full well that America possesses
an empire which God created des-
tiny has thrust upon her; that her
newly possessed insular empire
forces back the threatening frontier
of Asia 5000 miles from continental
America.
Is America going to hold it or is
an empire mad Asia to be allowed
to wrest this land empire from her?
That depends entirely upon
whether she has a congress of men
big enough, patriotic enough and
national enough to give her fighting
men the guns and ships the job
demands.
The people of New Zealand saw
a splendid fighting force of Ameri-
can men and guns and ships.
Therein lay the secret of the
sinewy handclasp.

was much more felt than said in
the official exchange of greetings,
and rightly so.
In welcoming Admiral Sperry
and the fleet, Sir Joseph Ward, the
prime minister of the dominion,
touched on the blood ties and the
common interests of the two peo-
pies, and in replying Admiral
Sperry touched on the blood ties
and the common interests of the
two peoples. Both were graceful in
diction, warm hearted and sympa-
thetic in expression and diplomatic
in utterance.
But along the streets were the
bluejackets and the people COM
mingled and i'll the clubs where
official position did not demand
evasion of subjects which might
carry offense to a friendly power,
two peoples barred their hearts one
to the other, and discovered they
were on the same Job.
