Newspapers.
ON the Philadelphia Ledger.

No one imagines that Mr.. Bryan har
bors any personal resentment against
newspapers. He is a Waterman in Zion
guarding the people against the preda-
tory interests, and wherever news
paper becomes what is called bust
ness proposition. it thereby becomes an
interest" or the venal alder and abet
tor Of interests, and the Waterman
must proclaim his warning. The only
honest journalism, in Mr.. Bryans view.
Is where the editor is also the owner of
the paper though he sadly admits that
few editors. in these degenerate days.
can AFFORD such personal organ as the
Commoner. When the owner must hire
somebody to conduct his paper, his
purchased opinions become not only
valueless, but mendacious and a peril
to the public. Precisely why an editor
who works for hire is thereby more
"venaI" than a lawyer or preacher
has always been obscure: nor Is it clear
why the men who put their money into
the complex business OF modern
newspaper have not the same ethical
right to determine It's character and
policy and its general point Of view as
had the men who backed the political
GRAFTON. SO much lamented-not to
speak Of the men who put their money
into colleges or churches. The liberty
Is quite as great as ever 1t was for
every man with a cause to serve to
start his own paper: yet we suppose
that even in Lincoln. Neb., the es-
teemed Commoner Is not accepted as q
substitute for a newspaper These
hackneyed references to the palmy
days Of the great editors" amusing to
those who know anything OF the sub
ject. have about as much relevance as
a Renaissance Of the stage coach and
the wayside inn in a discussion Of
railway administration.

The Charity Fund.

The Associated Charities and Citizens
Relief Committee are In need of more
funds and appeal for further contribu-
tons from the public. 1t is pointed out
that from year to year habitual donors
drop out of the list through death or
movement from the city and loss OF in
terest and their places must S,e taken
by new contributors to the funds for re-
lief OF the poor and the upkeap of vari-
Gus works Of education and poverty pre-
vention. 1t is unfortunate that there
should be such thing as limited list
Of givers to these funds. Every citizen
OF the District who has even a small
surplus OF income over outgo should be
a siver. 1t Is the duty of every citizen
TO contribute not merely for the sake of
swelling the fund. but to become a par
ticipant in a work which Is for the bene-
Mt OF all and which Is best maintained
as a result of universal cooperation.
The work Of the Associated Charities
would be more significant and helpful If
it were supported by ten times as many
people. even though the total Of the con-
tributions were the same. The co-opera-
ton of $1,000 citizens would in itself be
q great moral influence. With such a
body Of givers, possible In this commu-
nifty, there would never be an emergency
that could not be quickly and abundantly
met As the case stands, a compare
lively few citizens are bearing this bur-
den. bearing 1t cheertully and enthusi-
astically, accepting their opportunities to
give eagerly as chances to contribute by
proxy to the welfare of the unfortunate.
Public faith in the principle Of co-opera-
tive and organized charity worl, Is high
and there Is gratifying confidence on all
sides in the honesty and efficiency of he
agencies employed in this endeavor. lhe
only regrettable fact is that it is neces-
sSry from time to time to appeal for
more funds. when the mere statement
OF need should annually result in an
abundant outpouring sufficient for the en-
tire season.

Saving the Clipping.
From the Christian Science Monitor.


Newspapers are the greatest and most

mentary value to the important facts

men and women who realize the vastly
educative nature Of some newspaper ar

poses. But aside from the persons who
collect in this manner data on subjects
are not many who thus make use Of
the newspaper Perhaps 1t never has
occurred to some men and women that
jokes and illustrated fashion articles are

things considered it might not be I'M

gymnasium. the library. the educational

rendered as attractions, and by this means

the average Y. NJ. c. A. there Is plenty
of work within the doors among the mem
bers for every Jealous agent OF the or
ganization. And it is to the credit OF this
movement that it accomplishes unmls-
taxable results for the benefit OF every
community in which it is located in rails
ing the standard of young citizenship. IN
providing wholesome recreations Tor the
rising generation, in supplying educatonal
facilities, in finding employment, in CIV
ing advice and in bringing religious prin-
cpIes to the front in all these activities.
Prof Steiner's criticism seems to be d.
rected chiefly at the failure of the Y NJ
c.. A. to accomplish more among the Tor
eign immigrants. notably the Chinese
who. he asserts, are not met In proth-
erly spirit. 1t is beside the mark whether
this missionary work is being well done
or otherwise, as respects the wider USE
fitness Of the Y. N. c. A. as local IN
stitution for the good of the community.
Perhaps those in charge of the foreign
missionary endeavor may have SUI
fcient answer to this criticism. Mean
while it suffices to know that in point OF
real results among Americans and those
who. coming here from abroad, are quail
fv;ne for citizenship. the Y. NJ. G. a. Is
fully justifying itself and its workers en-

That japanese Spook.

It was a sure thing that. soon or late.
Japan would appear in the yarns about
the Mexican situation. The fakirs act
upon this rule: When in doubt play
Japan. Trot out the stories about her
hatred of America. Convert every Japa-
nese cook or laborer in Mexico into a
veteran of the wars with China and
Russia. Multiply their number a hun
bred fold. Organize them into secret
bands. Put at the head Of each band a
trained Japanese officer. and there you
are. A strong force, helping along the
existing trouble. for the purpose first of
forcing American intervention. and then
of making American occupation of the
country so full of difficulties as to cause
divisions at home and complications
abroad
1t Is strange how this sort Of thing
runs, in the face of perfectly plain facts.
Not only are the governments of Amer
lea and Japan on perfectly friendly terms.
but IL they desired and played for rup-
ture, with a view to war, they could not
set bounds to the contest. duel be-
tween the two countries over the control
OF the Pacific ocean, or the question of
Japanese immigration on the Pacific coast
OF the United States, would be impossible
Other powers would inevitably be drawn
In. and the shindy might become general.
And yet the anti-Japanese in America
and the anti-Americans In Japan are
noisy with defamation on their favorite
topic. The former see a Japanese in
every bush; Japanese finger in every
pie; japanese maneuver in everything
with which Japan connects and in which
America Is interested. The latter see in
all we do the spirit of a bully and
robber. and warn their countrymen
against us. They see in our trade pact
with Canada annexation in disguise, and
In the movement of our troops to the
Rio Grande a purpose to grab Mexico
IL possible.
There is a fashion in yarns as in other
things. The wear In England is sus-
picion Of Germany, and in Germany sus-
picion Of England. In America, in GER
tain. circles, the wear" is suspicion of
Japan, and in Japan, in anti-government
circles. suspicion Of America But. as in
other things, these fashions will change
The spinners of such cloth make their
patterns too loud They offend good
taste and good sense and cannot carry
the day for long. Something sane and
quiet will In the end prevail

Graduating Gowns.

An eminently sensible decision has been
reached by the board of education to the
effect that henceforth the graduating
dresses of the girls finishing their school
courses must be more simply designed
than in the past. While it may be diff
cult to enforce this rule strictly, the
effect Of the announcement is certain to
be wholesome. Heretofore, for some
years, there has been an altogether un-
desirable tendency among the girl grad
yates in this city to appear in frills and
furbelows, jewery and other adornments
at commencement, involving a heavy cost
which in some cases has been beyond the
means of parents. Whether this folly is
to be laid at the doors of the girls or
their parents is a question. The fact,
however, suffices that the schoolgirls of
Washington have been dressing. not only
at graduation time. but during the year.
with too much thought for emulating
their sisters in society.
Apart from the question of cost, which
is serious one in many cases. the
tendency to overdress on the graduating
platform produces a deplorable result in
that it causes heartburnings and jeal-
ousles and creates a false division of
lie school proceedings. The majority Of
the schoolgirls in Washington cannot
afford the style Of dresses that have been
affected Of late years. The example Of
the few who can to whose parents the
expense OF an elaborate graduation gown
is of no moment, necessarily affects all
the others. leading into extravagance
those who are unable to bear any addition
to the financial burdens Of the family. A
false standard prevails in such cases.
The more simply gowned girls feel Ill
at ease and ashamed OF their plain at.
tire. Thus an occasion that should be
full Of happiness for everybody is turned
into a day of jealousy and sorrow.
1t will be a move in the interest OF
more substantial educational results to
modify the graduation dress styles At
tention can be concentrated more definite
ly upon what is going into the head than
upon what is going upon the back Of the
girl graduate. There is a danger in the
side issues and the fashionable follies
that now affect the school system. and
everything that Is done to simplify school

Mr.. Bailey and the Future.

Senator Bailey's hastily withdrawn res
ignation and his future in politics con-
tinue the subject Of much comment. Some
of it is serious. some satirical, some
merely hippant. The Texan is an inter-
esting man at all times, but never more
SO than when there is "a disturbance in
the neighborhood." When there is COM
motion, and men are taking sides, and
even parties are dividing, eyes turn to
Mr.. Bailey, and they never fail to find
him. He is always in his place on the
firing line. and always in fighting form.
Whether for or against you, he counts IN
every contest in which he engages.
Some of Mr.. Bailey's enemies are pre-
dieting that he will soon have to renew
his resignation, and are expressing the
hope that when he does SO he will let 1t
stick. And Mr.. Bailey himself declares
that if his party. commits itself In the
Senate and elsewhere to the initiative and
referendum and the recall he will retire
from office. AS he puts the case, he Is
democrat, and will not stand for popu-
lism introduced in any form.
The retirement of Mr.. Bailey would be
a loss to both sides in the Senate. That
was made manifest by the activity of
men of both sides to induce him to recall
the resignation he offered in the closing
hours of the recent session. Prominent
republicans, headed by the Vice Presi-
dent, united with as prominent democrats
in the appeal to the Texas senator. which
fortunately prevailed.
Both sides value Mr.. Bailey because Of
his ability. Both sides benefit by his par
ticipation in debate. When he speaks
for his party the republicans know that
the case is being presented in its best
form from that side, and so are guided to
the necessity of putting their best man
or men forward to reply to him. 1t is
only in this way-by the clash of the
highest ability on both sides Of legislative
assemblies-that the best results are OBJ
tained.
Mr.. Bailey is not, OF course, the only
pebble on the Texas beach. The Lone
Star state has many able and worthy
sons. But, with due respect to all Of
them, which one at this time would serve
the state, the democratic party, or the
country as we'll as Mr.. Bailey? Our lead
ing issues are so difficult. both parties
show divisions. There are high tariff and
low tariff republicans, and high tariff and
low tariff democrats. There are repub-
licans as strongly touched with popu-
ism as are those democrats to whom Mr..
Bailey objects The two parties are di-
vided as to the income tax. And so on.
Whatever their views, we need in Office
at this time men Of the highest ability.
the largest experience. and the best or
der Of courage. As nothing is settled un-
til it is settled right, We should move to
the settlement of our disputes under the
most competent of available leadership.
