PRINTING THE NEWS.

How far a newspaper should. like 4
camera obscura. picture everything
that goes on within the range OF its
vision, good, bad or Indifferent, is no
doubt a debatable question. Between
those who claim that the newspaper
should present only the clean. elevat-
ing. wholesome side of life, and the
advocates of wide open" columns,
there is a great margin for variation
In opinion. says the Sun.
Many pastors of churches would be
glad II the daily newspaper could be
transformed into sort Of missionary
magazine. presenting the evil side Of
life, If at all. only with some accom-
panying antidote or preachment. But
here is one-the Rev. H. w. Gelston,
pastor Of the First Presbyterian church
in Kalamazoo, and we'll known In
Michigan, who, in a recent sermon on
the relations of the press TO the
church. as quoted by a contemporary.
sad:
He wanted his newspaper to bring
him all the news of the day In his
opinion, 1t Is the duty of newspapers
to print all news of tenderloin districts.
saloons, crime, and. In fact, all the
news of the under life. He said he
read this news every day as carefully
as he did news which pertalned TO
other things human. Mr.. Gelston de-
clared that by reading this news and
taking only the bare facts from the
items without coloring he felt 1t the
duty Of Christian people TO instruct
themselves through the newspapers So
that they can go among the unfortu-
nate people and give TO tnem ideas OF
the higher life. He said the news
papers are worth moro to civilization
than the steamboats, and railroads.

In applying TO Judge Jones today for

to prove that Juror Mckinney had ex-

Consul Church Howe, of Manchest-

ed success. The regulations follow:
All boys and girls not exceeding
Gfteen years of age are entitled to
travel TO and from the schools at half
the ordinary fares, subject to certain
simple regulations and conditions.
School children desirous of taking ad-
vantage of the reduction must Oil up

TRADE IN DAVIS COUNTY.

The Davis County Argus has n sug
gestion to make TO the business men
which is of interest to local merchants.
The Argus says:
Ogden merchants arc using every
inducement TO attract Davis county
trade. A number of merchants In the
north end of the county are beginning
TO feel alarmed at the enormous rush
OF patrons TO the Ogden market. and
an effort Is being made TO stem the
tide. But the people still go to Og.
den; the Ogden merchants continue
10 make attractive offers.
An effort is being made to induce
Mr.. Bamberger TO withdraw the cheap
rates TO Ogden on Saturday. repro
sentatiyes having explained that bus
mess in the north end Of Davis county
Is being ruined by the Lagoon road
Mr. Bamberger has the matter under
Amusement and, in all probability.
he VIII do as the merchants desire,
giving as his sole reaon for having
established the rate that, inasmuch as
the people here will, as a matter of
course, patronize Salt Lake business
houses. the Ogden merchants are en-
titled to their share. and he was only
weaving tho trade to the north"
We desire TO suggest to the business
men Of Davis county a plan whereby
trade can more effectively be kept
at home. Even at regular rates the
people will trade In Ogden.
When a larger man accosts a
smaller one with the apparent intent
OF doing him bodily harm, the smaller
man. II he be wise, Will use tact in
defending himself until. in despera-
ton, he must find help or run like
coward. The Ogden merchants are de-
termined TO corral the trade of the
north end The merchants there
should begin at once a better cam
palgn for self protection.

OF Davis county dollars. The cour-

II this is fair Idea Of the average

are hundreds In the north end-what
must be done by local merchants? It
seems TO us the only possible way of
meeting the competition is by increas-
Ing the stock on hand, by having only
competent and polite clerks, and by
making a vigorous campaign In ad-
vertislng to Offset the Ogden ads.

trInc on which this Injunction was
based makes the courts superior to

The liberty of the press is the very
cornerstone of American institutions.
