ROOSEVELT ON JOURNALISM
Ex-Presldent's First Leader" In "The
Outlook"

New York March 5.--The first edi-
torial article from the pen of ex-PTes-
ident Theodore Roosevelt, which ap-
pears in March issue of the Outlook,
deals with the subject of Journal
ism" II says in part;
Every owner, editor or reporter, of
a conscientious newspaper is an asset
of real value to the community We
have many newspapers, big and lit
tie of this kind. But we also have
many that are emphatically not Of
this kind
During the last few years it has
become evident that certain newspa-
pers are controlled by men who have
gained wealth in evil fashion. who de-
sire to stine honest public opinion,
and who find an instrument in the
purchased mendacity of those who
edit and write for such papers,
Mr.. Roosevelt then pays his re-
spects to the apostles of that hide
Gus yellow journalism which deifies
the cult of the mendacious, the SEN
sational and the inane." In conclus-
ion, he refers to another type of
temptation which has much fascina-
ton for men of cultivation and which
is quite as fatal to their usefulness as
yellow journalism" He says OF
these: "A newspaper which avoids
vulgar sensationalism, which appeals
to people of taste and intelligence,
may nevertheless do them grave harm
and be within its own rather narrow
limits as element of serious mischief.
For it may habitually and consistent.
ly practice a malign and slanderous
untruthfulness which, though more
refined, is as immoral as sensational
ism
"A cultivated man of good intelli'
gence who has acquired the knack OF
saying bitter Things, but who lacks
the robustness to feel at ease among
men of action, is apt, il his nature
has anything of meanness of untruth
| fulness, to sit in cloistered aloofness
and to endeavor by an increasing out
put of SANDER to bolster up his own
easy desire to be considered superior
Now paper edited by men of this
stamp does not have much popular in
| huence, but II may exert real influ
ence for evil by the way In which II
teaches young men of good education
that decent and upright men are as
properly the subjects for foul attacks
as the most debased corruptionist thai
efficiency and wickedness are inter
changeable, and that the correct atti
tude to adopt in facing the problems
| of our time. Ia one of sneering an(
supercilious untruthfulness.

BLACK HAND IN VERMONT
Murder and Suicide at West Pawlet
Develops Revelation.

Facts which led up to the murder
of Andrew Etusvatsky by Joseph Ne
halick. later a suicide, at West Paw
let, Tuesday, have come TO light show
ing that the black hand element has
been getting in its work on the Dor
ders of Vermont and New York for
some time. Joseph Mccormack OF
Granville, n. Y, a lawyer, was visited
by Nehahck last Monday, the Hungar-
ian telling the attorney that Stulvat-
sky had threatened to kill him be
cause he would not join black hand
society.
Sunday night Stulvatsky and two
other Hungarians tried to break into
Nehalick's house. He believed that
they intended to murder him. They
broke a window and would have prob
ably gained entrance had their noise
not awakened big dog which chased
them out of the neighborhood. Mon
day morning a long knife dropped by
them was found under the window.
Nehalck told Mr.. Mccormack that he
reported the matter to the town grand
Juror and constable but they refused
to take any action, saying that those
fellows were bad men and they did
no wish to have anything TO do with
them"
Mr.. Mccormack says that II is the
general belief in Pawlet and Granville
that the band of cut throats of which
Stulvatsky was a member is response
BILE for the disappearance OF several
Hungarians who have suddenly been
missing. He told of one instance in
which a Hungary quarry foreman dis
appeared leaving his best clothes and
$47 in wages at the Rising & Nelson
company's office. The belief is that
his man was murdered and his body

powNAL HAS FIRE PROTECTION
Statement in North Adams Trans
script Article Refuted.


The following letter to the North
Adams Transcript is self-explanitory:
In your issue of last evening in the
article which is headed Mill for Pow
nal, you say The Wright company
felt that it could not rebuild at
place where there is not fire protec-
ton" Such unsupported statements
as this do much to injure a town. The
facts are as follows: In October, 1905,
the Pownal Water Co. commenced OPP
erations. My father, the late Gardner
T. Parker, made several trips to Troy
to induce Mr.. Wright to equip his mill
with sprinklers, offering him water for
the purpose and for all his tenements
at a very reasonable charge Mr..
Wright gave him no encouragement
whatever. Work was rushed on the
system and on December l., 1905, the
water was turned on 10 days before
the burning of the mill. Mr.. Wright
had ample time to equip his mill with
sprinklers had he done so when first
approached and could have connected
with the mains at least 20 days before
his fire. There is a pressure of sc
pounds before his mill property. The
fine work of our fire department and
the abundance of water was shown in
the fire in A. G. Parker & Sons store
in January, 1907, when a great section
of roof was on fire which was taken
care of in great shape.

At the same time the bears who
