Chicago Tribunc's Managing Editor
Corrccts Erroneous Impressions.
The Function of the Newspaper
was the theme of an address given
by James Kelley, managing editor of
the Chicago Tribune, and principal
speaker at he Irish Fellowship club s
most recent meeting.
The average citizen thinks that
the newspapers give most Of their
space to murders, divorces and scan
dals of all kinds, said he.
This is not true A close eXamin-
alton of any paper in Chicago viii
prove this a fallacy, Murders, divor-
ces and scandals are printed because
the newspaper wants to print all the
news that interests the public. But
they are not the principal features.
You viii find that more space is Civ
en- TO peace congresses. tuberculosis
conventions and kindred topics than
TO any murder or suicide, even
though there are special features in
them.
"Inaccuracy Of the newspaper is
complained OF. When you consider
that the worlds news of the day is
gathered in d few hours you will be
astonished that the newspaper is as
accurate as it Is.
at is true that there are mistakes
in every newspaper, but they are
wonderfully few considering the rush
in which newspaper goes to press.
A piece of news may come up With
in a few minutes of press time, The
newspaper does the best it can to get
the information before the public. 1t

4 DONATION AND IT'S PURPOSE

A special from La Grange, Texas,
states that the city authorities Of
that place are puzzled over the re-
CENT through the mails Of letter
containing donation of $40 in cur

The d. qtch further states that

marble, it will perish; if we work
upon brass, time will efface it; if
we rear temples, they will crumble

Judge. says the Houston Post, had
an intelligent definite object in
view, philanthropic as well as relig

he did. He appears to have correctly
diagnosed the most serious defect in
human characterize failure to eX-

thought has been suggested to us by
some one else. Hence even here in
free America the individualism which
lies at the foundation of our present
national greatness is lying out, and
our purposes are lacking that dis
tinctness which marked the attitude
OF our forbears toward every ques-
ton they faced We are willing to
accept the thraldom of strong mind
provided it proclaims its purposes
beneficent.
The Creator in His wisdom gave
to each individual born into the
world mind, capable in its devel-
opment of accomplishing wonderful
things. and He imposed a penalty
upon its nonuse. Need We say what

this donation to the La Grange Of
ficials suggested, are We not lacking
in individual initiative in discharging
those higher obligations, the work
which endures, that the possession
Of an immortal mind imposes upon
US?
We dare say the author of this do

philanthropic effort, or intent if Won

Like nearly everything else. history

Garden of Eden depends upon wheth-

an. The history of the American rev

our own books. The history of the
civil war depends upon which side OF
the Mason and Dixon line you happen
to be sitting when you write it.
