BRYAN ON NEWSPAPERS.
Says the Interests Use Them to Chlor-
oform Their Readers.

Philadelphia, March Nv. J. Bryan
and Rollo Ogden. editor OF the New
York Evening >Post, discussed the In.
fluencc OF the Modern Newspaper here
last night at a meeting Of the Contem-
porary club.
Mr.. Bryan declared that the modern
newspaper has lost much prestige and
influence. Among the causes for this
he said was the devotion of too much
space to crime and domestic felicity.
Because the public seem TO demand
news Of this description, he said, was
no reason that it should be used
Another evil. Mr.. Bryan declared, Is
the discussion Of public questions from
a sensational standpoint. For example
he decried the manner in which the
present movement of troops is being
described in some newspapers. Such
discussion is apt. he said, to eugender
a situation which might easily cause
an international controversy. Editor
ials which do not express the opinion
OF the writer's but are ordered by the
business offices of the papers, are an
other great evil, declared Mr. Bryan,
who said.

aPollution Of Columns

"The greatest menace TO our country
to-day is the pollution of the editorial
and news columns by interests that are
practiaing grand larceny on the peo-
pie. Many of our great newspapers
are owned by interests which have their
hands in the pockets OF the people and
use the papers to chloroform the read
ers.'
Mr.. Bryan advocated the passage Of
law which would compel newspapers
to publish not only the names of their
nominal owners. but also the holder)
OF mortgages upon the properties.
Mr. Ogden. who had opened the. dis
eussion, said when Mr.. Bryan had con
cluded: MIR Bryan has spoken some
great truth, but if it can be said that
the people have the priests and poll
ticians that they deserves they also have

KANAA BURIAL GROUNDS.
BoIivia's Fearsome Valley of the Shad-
ow of Death.

ow of Death.
There is a valley In Bolivia, South
America, which might well be called
the Valley Of the Shadow Of Death. 1t
has been inhabited for an indefinite
period of years by the Kanaa Indians,
who are kindred to the various South
American tribes and number now only
few hundred souls.
That they were once very powerful
tribe is indicated by the condition Of
the land which they as tribe still in
habit. One cannot travel any distance
through their land without coming
upon the old and forsaken burial
grounds of the Kanaa dead. These
places cannot be called graveyards, for
the bodies are not buried. but rather
placed upon elevated platforms, wrap
ped in the garments of death and
bound to the crossbeams that they
may not be displaced
In one of these burial grounds there
will be probably fifty high skeleton
platforms. and on each will lie from
three to five of the Kanaa dead. The
air in that part Of Bolivia is very pure
and preservative, for it is one of the
highest plateaus of the continent, al
though Kanaa valley is just little
below the plateau's height. A traveller
passing through that land at night and
by moonlight would be awe stricken at
the gloomy vision those graveyards
present.
