Newspaper Criticism.

! speech upon Newspaper domination
which has attracted very widespread
attention and been the subject of very
general comment. He believes that
many young men of character and ca.
pacity were deferred from entering
public life by the constant and un-
fair attacks Of the newspapers Among
other things he says:
There is no future lin public life)
because we ore governed and ruled
here by demagogic opinions. We are
only permitted to do certain things,
not to demonstrate what there Is In
the position, because we allow people
who live in high buildings to write on
subjects of which they are entirely
ignorant and who are there

criticism No honest man objects to
Just criticism, but we have come, gen.
tlemen, to be run in a measure by the
newsps pers for the newspapers.
Undoubtedly much of the attention
which this utterance of Mr.. Jerome has
attracted has been due to the fact that
there is behind it an element of truth.
Many men of honest worth and pure
purpose, have doubtless been driven
out of public life by narrow, intemper-
ate, and unjust newspaper criticism.
There is class of newspapers that
seek notoriety in this manner and, un-
fortunately a certain number of news

backbiting someone. 1t is an easy
thing to criticise men charged with
the burden of public responsibility; but
in the long run any newspaper that
makes such attacks it's stock in trade,
loses the confidence and respect of a
thinking and intelligent public. 1t is
always better to say pleasant word
of any man rather than a harsh or bit

When ell this has been said. however,
the fact remains that there has been
in recent years very great improve

newspaper discussion and comment. A
fairer saner spirit has prevailed in the

been conceded to be clean, honest, up

The spirit of fairness is exercising a
constantly greater influence through

With all due respect for the various

fads down the pike, we must express
the solemn opinion that the schools of

as many anniversary observances as
they can properly stand. The pupils of
our State need a few "days" for a
good old-fashioned study, although it
is becoming more and more difficult to
find them.
