YELLOW JOURNALISTS.

Declaring that Moses was the first
editor-and a yellow journalist, to
and that Luke was the first star re-
porter, Walter Williams, dean of the
School of Journalism of the Missouri
University, caused the members Of
the Minister'S Alliance of Kansas City
to gasp, says a Kansas City dispatch.
In an address he spoke of the sim
ilarity of the Bible to modern jour-
nalism.
"The best journalist with whose
work I am acquainted" said Mr.
: Williams, was Moses. He was the
first great editor. You plead for the
publication of the good only and the
beautiful in your favorite daily
journal
1T was an earlier people, not a
wiser one, who cried, prophesy unto
us smooth things.
"In a single slight book of the five
which Moses edited, a book, the con-
tents of which would not occupy "a
half page in today's newspaper, Mos
es, the first great editor. gave more
criminal news and that more graph
ioally than today's newspaper would
dare report-the disobedience of
Adam; the drunkenness of Noah; the
/ falsehoods of Abraham; the iniquity
of the whole City of Sodom; the vile
ness of Sechem, the son of Hamori:
the wickedness of Judah, with Ia
mar, the woman in black, who sat by
! the roadside.
THE best reporter with whose
work ! am acquainted was Luke
/ His story has the characteristics of
the best eporting-clearness. vivid
ness, truthfulness, facts in due pro-
| portion, human interest. His Christ
ian story has been read the world ar
ound for 1000 years.
The whole Bible is indeed a mod
| el of good journalism. 1t interprets
the facts of everyday life. How full
it is of the details of biography. the
personal gossip. if you please ] con-
fess to a fascination for the details

ACCOMMODATE THEM.

At this time the Roundup associ-
alton is considering the proposition
OF larger grounds for next years
show 1t is an important problem and
not the only problem the Roundup
management has to face. Another
task and one that is equally as diff
ficult is that of providing living ac-
commodations for the outside people
who will be here next fall.
Many people came here for the
Roundup this year and were unable
to find accommodations. This was
not surprising because no temporary
sleeping places were provided and the
accommodations were found insuffi-
cient even though many private
homes were opened to the visitors.
II Pendleton expects great crowd
for the Roundup and fair next fall
then arrangements should be made
to accommodate those who come. A
tent hotel system seems to furnish
about the only solution. If such a
system is adopted it may be carried
out upon such a scale as to accom-
modate many thousands. But to or
ganize and maintain such a system
will naturally require hard work.
Good accommodations should be pro-
vided and at the lowest prices pos
Eble. The sanitary features must be
looked after and the grounds should
be we'll policed to guard against
thievery.
1t would be folly for the Roundup
management to arrange a splendid
show and draw thousands of people
to the city without making adequate
arrangements for their accommoda.

MAIDS OF OTHER DAYS.

Could l had lived in those old days
OF Chloe and Perilla,
When poets sang their roundelays,
With Daphne and Myrtilla.
They fitted into lyrics well,
Far better than the Sarahs,
The Mauds and James that now we
spell
In later day Saharas.
They loved To linger in the lanes,
And flirt along the highways.
They'd ride with JOY in Strephon's
wains,
And stroll in leafy byways,
They had no taste for costly cars,
or taNicabs a-throbbin',
But jogged along beneath the stars
Behind the gentle Dobbin.
Their locks We're raven or were gold,
Their voices rang with laughter.
Their CHEEKY songs drove off the cold
And echoed through the rafter.
And she who'd furs to warm her
back
'Tis so I've understood it
At any time she washed a sack
Went out herself and brewed it!

Pittsburg, said:
"I have no fear before these expert

why one afternoon in a restau-

heard a guest shout angrily:
