Yellow Journalism.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.


Mayor Gaynor's observations upon yell
low journalism call attention to a condi-
ton In New York, and few other Amer
lean cities. that Is commonly defended
nowadays by ap0logists for yellow
journalism on the ground that there Is
q modern development of similar evil in
the capitals of Europe. notably in Lon
don and Paris. 1t is true that a great
deal OF inaccuracy and indecency gets
into print In the French and British CEN
tiers OF population, and q recent para
graph in the Tribune di Roma regarding
alleged reasons for the breaking of of
the Elkins-Abruzzi match serves as an
exhibit to prove that some Of the Italian
journals are purveyors Of backstairs gos-
SIP that ought not to find place in the
columns OF any publication. But it is no
defense Of American yellow journalism to
say that 1t Is popular and profitable
where its methods are initiated in Eu-
rope. Yellow Journalism is no longer dis
tinctively American. And few American
journals. comparatively speaking, are
yellow. There are more than $4,000
newspapers of all kinds published in the
United States. The "yellows'' constitute
small minority OF the daily papers.
But that minority is prominent in the
largest cities. and gives journalism In
America reputation which is hardly de-
served. In New York, Chicago and San
Francisco. where yellow Journalism is
at its worst the craft as well as the
press suffers humiliation.

Mr.. Taft and Ohio.

The President is properly employed in
using his influence to promote harmony
in his party's ranks in Ohio. He is a
citizen of the state. and as such entitled
to his say. His friends look to him for
counsel. and he to them for the very best
service they can render.
There are republicans in the state not
friendly to Mr.. Taft. They did not OPP
pose his nomination for President. but
not even state pride could arouse their
enthusiasm. After the nomination was
made they supported it, and assisted in
rolling up the substantial ma jority Ohio
gave the ticket.
Boss Cox is one of these men. Not of
the Taft type. he has pursued a course
in politics anything but pleasing to Mr..
Taft. Several years ago the latter, then
Secretary of War, expressed his dis
pleasure openly in a speech made in Ohio
on the eve of an election in Cincinnati
in which Mr. Cox was the leading figure.
1t produced sensation. and had an eff
feet prejudicial to the boss interests.
The two men have not met since Mr..
Taft became President So far as the
public is advised, Mr.. Cox has asked
nothing and received nothing. Ohio pat
ronage has been distributed without ref
erence to him. He is not at present at
home, though it is not suggested that he
Is absent because of Mr.. Taft's presence.
Private business. it is explained, has
called him elsewhere.
At the state convention Mr.. Cox lost.
His candidate for governor was defeated,
though he swung his delegation to Hard
ing in time to assist in the nomination.
He returned home disgruntled, and has
said some bitter things about the treat
ment he received at the convention. He
has announced for the ticket, but with
out particular feeling. His shirt does
not show a single rent. Can he be in
duced to tear that garment in behalf of
harmony and full vote in November?
Cincinnati is big town. and normally
republican For years Mr.. Cox has been
the acknowledged boss. Seldom has he
been outgeneraled, either in convention
or at the polls. He has nominated his
favorites for Office, and, as a rule, elected
them, and in office they have been much
under his influence. Cincinnati and Ham
ilton county are very important this
year, and Gov. Harmon's personal pres
tige il to be considered. His home is
there, and he has long been one, of the
leaders Of the Cincinnati bar. Can Mr..
Cox show his power this time? And will
he do IL?

Rabies.

People who have been skeptical regard
Ing the existence Of hydrophobia ought
to pay heed to q United States public
health service report which says that
this diseese Is reality and not q dream,

ton from Surgeon General Wyman's bu-

The American people have never sub

Sport and Morality.

There Is much more than a grain of
truth In the contention of a Massachu-
sets woman that athletics will corfduce
to healthier and more normal lives for
women. The same may be said for men.
The men and women who take plenty of
ball or rowing will not be as often heard
OF in divorce courts as those whose lei
sure Is spent In idleness. Healthy bodies
and clean minds go oftenest together.
That Is one reason why sports for young
colleges urge their students to do gym
nasium work and join the athletic teams.
The recreation centers of large cities the
Fairgrounds. foot ball and base ball
parks. the full swimming beaches and
public golf links will all have their be-
neflcent effects on the bodies and minds
Of the coming generation.

Memorial Day.

An effort is making to induce the men,
bers Of the Grand Army of the Republic
formally to select a Sunday near the
30th Of May as the real Memorial
day. the day for the solemn services in
memory of the dead soldiers. This is be-
cause Of the manner in which the day has
been utilized as q public holiday, time
of recreation, Of picnics and sports wholly
inconsistent with the theory underlying
the creation of the ceremonial. The sug
gestion commends itself strongly to ali
who regard Memorial day reverently. 1t
is not necessary for the Grand Army Of
the Republic to move In any manner to
threaten the holiday as it now exists
The both of May may still remain Deco
ration day." and yet the veterans of the
civil war may proceed with their services
on the nearest Sunday undistracted by
the picnic spirit which now prevails on
the stated occasion.
AS the years pass the ranks of those
who survived the war are thinning rap
idly. while the graves of the soldier dead
multiply. Memorial day thus assumes a
constantly increasing significance, and as
the numbers of those who participate in
the ceremonies by virtue Of their own
comradeship with the dead diminish it
becomes more important that the services
Of commemoration and of honor should
be invested with the greatest solemnity.
Memorial day should be regarded as a
patriotic inspiration. There is no glorifi-
cation Of the individuals whose graves
are decorated, but an inspiring appraisal
OF the spirit which led them forth to bat
tie for that which they believed to be
the right. 1t is impossible to preserve
this meaning while the day is chiefly
employed by the public in recreations.
which. however wholesome and desirable,
are none the less inconsistent with the
reason for which business is suspended.
so far has the development Of Memo
rial day gone as a time of public en-
joyment that II Is probably impossible to
secure by educational processes a return
to the original thought upon which the
holiday Is based. The only remaining
possibility is to select for the commence
ration of the services of the soldier dead
a day which cannot be regarded as a fes-
tiyal holiday.
