'uot AuSg iihc lo De euleIldinCN anu are willing 10 spend a cent or two a day, and ten or fifteen cents once & month, for something to read. l But see what we have 10 give them 10 keep them interested l Watch them start with the murders and divorces and accidents: then see them turn to she comic sections. After that, quite a lot of them read the serious parts. the parts that report the facts concerning the peoples business. But do you think that they would read tn serious parts if the sensational feat. ures were omitted? If you cherish any such delusion, consider the few unsensational papers there are left: find out what circulations they have. ard how much they pay on tho. capital invested in them. =
 10 be sure, speaking e:hic4iiy publishers ought to be satisfied a'tlr bare Iiviug. They ought to co.tnt tkcir wealth in the arount Of good, influence tlav exercise But fsa would be to forget that they are Aa,>iicans that their wires and children are Americans. wa Amer ican habits. tastes, ambitions.
 And besides. why should any one set of men. or any seyerai sets of men, sacrifice themselves 70 people that won't take the trou- ble to look. into it's own affairs. or that. having looked into these affairs and having learned how bad ly hey are going sit back and curse, the politicians for not doing bet ter by them?
 Great heavens, Why should the politicians give the people any more than they demand? What propor ton of enployeszgits their employ. CTS more than .s demanded them? Look around sou and when yoR find a few such employees watch them. See how soon ;he, come to own or control the basi- ness.
 That is exactly how the poll tieians mostly come to own or con troi our business. They drop around their districts once in a while and present their constituents with some thing extra in she way of service. Something like postofiee and river Improvements. And they do 1t so generously that one almost forgets who pays for it
 'srhe American public often re- minds me of newiy-rich famiiy that buys a magnificent house. puts forty or fifty servants into it, and :hen sits down to be comfortable Tn a moath the whole place is filed with dirty corners. but see hov splendidly the brass doornobs and grand piano are polished. Tho food is not nearly as good nor as whole. some as. the servants give them selves, but see how grandsy it is served, and note the wonderful 5il- yer and glass!
 The household bills are stretched to cover every kind of graf. but think how imposing it all Is. and what an impression it makes on the neighbors,
 Sometimes. in a burst Of rage over some casual annoyance, a cook or a butler or a steward is dis. charged, but the system never changes while the pocketbook holds out and the family remains second class. For any family is second class that rests content in sloYenl, discomfort as long as things look good on the outside and the mem 5ers are not literally sandbagged
 Recently there has been a sIigh7 change in our national housekeep- ing. We have discharged part of the leaders of one clique and are taking on few new servants
 But note that the people did not select those new servants. The old leaders. frightened by :he press and by few energetic citizens
 drought it discreet to nominate
