The Argus Daily Short Story
Daisy-By Clarissa Mackie.

eThe barnyard fence divided Jacob

| Dor, Lorenzo Nettle. Jacob leaned
over the fence and looked wistfully at
the gaunt framed white mare that
dropped dejectedly near the closed
| door Of her stable. Her ragged. un-
kempt name was tangled with burs,
some of last years crop. One eye
was Of that dull blue. denoting aHsight-
less vision; the other optic. of a soft
brown mildness, was turned toward
the watchful Mr.. Keene. The mare
shifted her sprung knees and wheezed
patiently.
Jacob turned and stumped into the
house. scattering the gathered chick
ems with his sudden impetuosity.

"its a COMPOUNDED shame how Loren

money to buy Daisy off of him."
Mrs. Keene turned mild blue eyes on

she said meekly.

ped Jacob.
That's what I was thinking" she
admitted tactlessly.
"Humph! That's all the sympathy
I get, Lizzie Keene"
You're making yourself sick over
that horse" objected Mrs. Keene as
her husband moved his chair away
from his half tasted supper. "If Lo-
reno won't sell Daisy to you, why
don't you give up the idee?'
Jacob gIared out of the window ana
swallowed hard. ut amt that Loren.

His wife opened her eyes wide.
But she's terrible sprung. and some
body said she had the heaves. Jacob"
"Heayes or no heaves, I'll bet could

pointing at the sorry procession enter

and pressed her thin nose to the win

The Newspaper of Today

The national newspaper conven-
| lions and int = 1G tionaI dinner in
Mahattan emphasized by President
| Taft's welcome and effective pres
! ence and the cordial exchange of re-
| spect and of Inequalities, brings a
/ little more clearly into vision, how
| ever, the present condition and func-
lions Of the daily newspaper, for of
all the institutions which modern So
ciety creates and develops for it's
needs, the daily newspaper is one of
most constant and continuous change
and while there's nothing new in
this abstraction, application of the
law may indicate the rate and the
direction of progress.
That the newspapers of the coun-
try are in constant fux and evolution
is inevitable; and all that can at any
time be said. is the result of obser-
walton, as the mariner at noon reck-
ons his position and goes on his way.
No one cognizant of the newspaper
press of today, for example, needs
to be told that the development of
the last few years has been altogeth-
er wholesome, encouraging and
hopeful. The cycle of sensational
ism, of freedom from serious obliga-
tions has expended itself, and in its
place has come sensible abatement
of many Objectionable features; a
serious purpose to tell the truth and
to stand by it; and to place a higher
regard and premium upon the facts
and upon honest treatment of them.
Coincident with this is q still more
sensible evolution on the business
side. appreciation of the financial
value WIKI the newspaper repre-
sents; that its columns are not to be
trtfed with or given away as mat
ter of courtesy or of compliment;
that advertising publicity is to be
measured by the real truth and the
actual facts. In other words, a gen.
eral ethical advance by which the
financial word and policy of q news
paper, regarding itself as its values
is coming to be accepted as worth it's
face, as much as that of bank or a
financial corporation. Nobody knows
and what is perhaps not to regretted,
nobody will ever find out, what the
American daily newspaper. translat-
ed into the terms of the street and
the counting room, amounts to. A
few facts. however. might serve as
elements in beginning computations
SIS, 900, 600 for white paper, each
year; an annual increment OF $3,-
6o0.000>a year in the last five in the
mechanical payrolls and Associated
Press assessments of nearly 3,000,-
600 a year. these are a few of the
significant indices of the aggregation
OF capital and resources necessary TO |
produce that most ephemeral and IN |
destructible of all things, the daily |
newspaper.
In line with this evolution. anoth- |
er of no less Importance is making
rapid progress. The abolition OF the /
plague OF free publicity, which has 1
grown. during the last few years. out /
of all proportion; which has made
but unpaid purveyors of
all sorts Of information, for the ben
eft solely of the special interests
concerned. is making rapid and
progress, with q very
great advantage not only to the pa
pers but to the public That any
other course is officially wrong and I
nnsound; that a newspaper has no
more right to foist upon its readers
for which ii does not as
