MORAL SURGERY 4 FAILrRE.

- Fer some years the case of Harold Hurley,
Ohio boy degenerate who has been taken III
charge by physicians, has set mark for specu-
laton to physiological medicine. The boy having
ing proved incorrigible and his history having
disclosed a fall resulting III an injury to his
brain, the theory advanced that peculiar
pressure on particular brain areas was respon-
sible for moral deliquencies. Instead of punish
ment at the hands of the law, the lad was sent to
hospital and there operated upon in scientific
effort to make him good Much space having
been given to the experiments, il now becomes
painful duty to record their failure Hurley
is still bad. The supposedly diseased portion of
his brain having been put in prime working
order, he still fails to the character which,
doubtless, he was born without Arrested for
stealing, the jail will now attempt to accomplish
by temporary prevention what science failed to
do by efforts directed at permanent correction.
All of which establishes anew old limits to
scientific thought and achievement The secrets
Of life are still far from being plumbed. Run

even the pains of science aching with the itch of
Unsuitable curiosity There are. more things in
the human head than the scapet ever brought to

That there are 'deeenerateo' does not seem to
be a statement longer open TO doubt. Somewhere
in the brain, in the inner life. III the souls of

the human vineyard, which, being human, it is
impractical to dig up cut off.

WHIsT1ING FOR CIRCULATION.

The NeXs-Leader- having repeated its boast
in red ink that it has more subscribers than both
the other afternoon papers combined the Eve
ming Journal opines that if the statement be true
it is sorry for The Virginian".
We would be sorry for the Journal, if we
thought that the News-Leader was doing more
than whistling for a breeze.
If for moment we thought that there was
anything except red ink in the claim, we would
hail the advent to the South of the millionaire
among journals.
But. What's the use"l This paper has more
than one department. 1t is looking after cir
culation, seeking advertising, strainng every
effort in the pursuance of wel-defned policy to
gain friends among the public in which it has
confidence and TO which it makes appeal. That
public Is the public which thinks which is intel
hgent, which makes use Of newspaper rather as
/ a convenience to information and reflection than
as schoolmaster preceptor. We realize that
the running of a newspaper is business, and,
realizing SO much, we think we understand the
further fact that the public to which we appeal
has listened to various megaphones so often that
ii is able 10 accurately glage the consistency of
wind. But while realizing that business methods
must rule the business hope that know
alos that the business itself is paramount to the
mehod BY which it is conducted. If wo shall
succeed in the ideal which We have set of making
newspaper which shall be fair, which shall be
enterprising, which shall be brave, if we shall
every day set before those subscribers which we
have and whose number is increasing at a graft
flying rate, record of the world which shall be
comprehensive and cogent. without suppression
and without exclamation if, in addition we shall
be able editorially 10 reflect the news in com
ment suggestive OF thought by others, as we'll as
indicative of our personal opinion; if we shall
succeed in conducting journal of character ex
ercising its influence for moral and material pro
gress. we shall not fear for an increase in subscrb
ers which would warrant boast which we here
declare we viii never make ION information and
belief especially where the wish is father tC
the thought and the hope to the delusion.
We have no idea what the circulation of the
1 News Leader may be, Whatever it is, its growth
will not worry us any more than did the cutting
of its price in half soon after The Virginian wa,
started. In expressing doubt as to its claims
Il when put in the terms of comparison of which

CITY ADVERTISING.
most.

For some time the Dispatch. of Wilmington,
North Carolina, has been running a series Of
articles descriptive Of diseases and disclosing the
bad sanitary conditions in its city The writers
of the articles spared neither the city, them
selves, nor anyone else They dealt with facts
with an astounding candor. The facts them
selves were of an astonishing nature. Superficial
", it seemed that the, Dispatch had forgotten
once and for all that its mission is in part to
ing it,. But the sequel shows that the paper knew
what it was about and knew the way to bring t.
pass what it wanted for in the last issue that
reaches our desk we find il commencing the ac-
ton of the Board of Audit and Finance is appro-
priating $1,000 for health and sanitary pur-
poses, which, it says. ''shows as conclusively as
anything could that things are in bad sanitary
shape i'll Wilmington, but they can be remedied,
and that will be the best and biggest odrertise-
men& any city has had.
There is indicated clear but frequently over
looked distinction that the best advertising is
not always the display of the roseate. is not con-
fined to emphasis on the good, but includes as
we'll the disagreeable, the mean, the disad-
vantageous Because such optimism is considered
the correct form If advertising, it frequently
happens that a city that ~ II spend thousands of

reasonable length TO attract people and TO show
forth its advantages will fguratively speaking,

yard. Such a policy is no more than careless
habit of sweeping under the bed the litter OF the
floors. 1t fools no one long, and it convlcts OF
hypocrisy, intentional or not, that IS injurious
almost in proportion tc the deceit.
Wlhnil gtou once sleepy town OF arlstocrat1o
traditions, has caught the new spirit of Southern
progress as few communities have seized it. 1t
ras its full share of opinionated gentlemen who
will do nothing and permit nothing to be done
except it he done their way. 1t suffers to de
gree, as other growing cities suffer, from the in
action that follows the warfare Of cliques. But
all the cliques in the ,scrlu cannot withstand a
fearless expose sucl as the Dispatch has afforded.
The Dispatch advertised its city in an unpleasant
light 1t will be in the vanguard of those who
will now proceed TO show that abuses that once
existed have been done away with and advantages
substituted. 1t will gain advertising of the best
class for Wilmington advertising that shows
that if there is anything wrong, it will come
that nothing will he permitted to CON
tinue wrong for long.
