and the reporters on this paper who
achieved those results arc entitled to
our thanks and the appreciation OF the
reading public.

that no confidence of any kind what

worked out. including the obtaining OF
the picture of the murderer, without

IMPROVING.

An eastern paper says the world is
growing better and then in proof, re-
cites:
We have gotten past the days when
men could sell their fellow men on the
auction block. and still be rated as
high-toned gentlemen,
We have gotten past the days when
the thief who stole ten dollars had his
picture put In the rogue's gallery,
while the thief who stole million
was hailed as captain of industry.
We have gotten past the days when
a public office was openly reckoned
private graft. 1t still works that way
sometimes. we are bound TO admit
that. But 1t only works that way in
the dark, Vice has come TO the point
that II pays the tribute of hypocrisy to
virtue. and that is at least the first
step in reform.
We have gotten past lots of bad
things. The code of morals that went
a century ago would not go now for
minute. The real trouble with us Is
that our brains have grown faster than
our moral natures. We are not worse,
but better. than our ancestors We
have more kindness, more fellow
feeling, more humanity. But the con-
ditions around US have changed so
fast that we haven't got adjusted to
