POWER OF The EDITORIAL.

There is considerable truth in the oft
repeated assertion that the editorial ut
terances of the large city dailies have
not the same influence upon the public
mind that they had two or three decades
ago. The decline has been STEADY and
several reasons have been advanced to
account for it.
Perhaps one of the strongest is the
belief that, as rule. those papers are
not the same free agents they were for
merly. To very large extent they are
regarded simply as the mouthpieces of
vested interests, or as having their poll
cy controlled through the medium of
the vast advertising patronage accord
ed them by interested parties.
Naturally with such feeling prevail
ing the influence of the editorial utter
ances Of those papers, however ably
written, is discounted considerably. The
public has no confidence in views that
rare not free.
But while the editorial power of the
large city daily has decreased. that of
the country press has steadily increased.
and the reasons for it is just as clearly
discerned. The publishers and editors
OF the rural papers are, in general, quite
as well informed, if not SO brilliant, as
their brethren in the city. They are
sturdy, independent, and possessed of
the saving grace of common sense. and
all this is reflected in the columns of
their papers. And because these same
editors live among their subscribers and
are in close personal touch with the ma
jority of them they are in better posi-
ton to reflect public opinion.
Especially is this seen in those great
moral questions now so prominent.
Where the city press too often deals in
in platitudes or is hesitant, for the rea-
sons above stated, the country press
takes q decided and advanced stand for
iecency, for law and order, and conse-
luentiy for the best interests Of the !.
Iome and OF the community. i
