HALF HOUR ADDRESS

There was a newspaper symposium
at the Central Congregational church
last night covering the evening session
of the Kansas Bible institute.
The Modern Newspaper" was dis
cused in half hour sections by Rev.
Charles Sheldon, the noted preacher
author, and by Arthur Capper of the
Topeka Capital and Frank P. Mac
Lehman of the State Journal.
DIR. Sheldon pointed out what he
considered the strong points of the
newspaper. the weak points and its OPP
portunities His adverse criticism was
in the main of eastern dailies in the
larger cities. He said for the past
four or five weeks he had carefully
read many papers of this class.
when you compare the papers here
he continued, with those of other
parts of the country, one has reason to
be proud. I want to explain that my
information has been taken for the most
part from other papers. Our papers are
as clean as snow as compared with
many papers printed in other parts of
the United States and l thank God
for that
At the close of the evening DR..
Sheldon said: 'If I had seen the pa
pers of the editors as they saw mine
I'd have said something different.
think I'll have to confess that I bore
down heavily on the critical side-I
wanted to bring out comment. 1t is
only fair to say that I think the Kan
sas papers are the best in.-the coun-
try"
Mr.. Capper made a defense of the
newspaper, saying that he considered
that DR.. Sheldon was too severe in
many instances. Mr.. MacLennan told
incidents in connection with the publ
cation of the newspaper and declared
that 1.-THE best paper is the best prod
uct of the reporter-that means the
truth well told

unlimited opportunity to advance the
brotherhood of mankind. 1t is, We
have said, democratic institution
Practically everybody reeds it, 1t is
tine one printed page which goes into
every home and is read by every man.
1t is IN one way the most democratic
institution we have. It has within it's
powers the unlimited power of daily
speech. The average minister is for
tunate if he has five hundred people
once week to talk to. The average
newspaper has its daily audience of
thousands. There is opportunity for

There is no original humor in the
modern newspaper as yet. 1t is all a
thrashing out of the old stuff with
nothing new or humorous about it,
Young men and women looking to-
wards Journalism in the making of the
new newspaper have the most unlim-
tied field for original research known
to any profession. There is nothing
in the minister's, doctors, lawyers or
politicians life to compare with it.
The modern newspaper could and I
believe it will make a wonderful con-
tribution to the final brotherhood of
the race and with the church and
home and school and state help bring
in the millennium. I hope to be here

decline to give perfectly legitimate
news for no other reason in the world
than because they don't care to be
bothered to give it. It is the report

world has both of these hut the world
provides places for them; that place
is not in the editorial chair. The
newspaper is a chronicle of the times
a reflection of the life of the day. 1t
makes no pretension to be a complete
guide, philosopher and friend. 1t is
only one factor in modern life. The
editor does not seek to take the place
of the public schools or the higher in
situations of learning He does not
them their work and expects them to
do it. He is willing to aid, but he
cannot take their work and their re-
sponsibility off their shoulders.
I acknowledge the existence Of
many of the evils DR.. Sheldon COM
plains of and there are other evils not
mentioned by him, but the third gen
eral division of his address could
scarcely bring out more strongly than
it does the present ideals and the pre-
yailing trend of the newspapers of the
country. The future historian will rec
ognize one of the most striking char
acteristics of the first decade of this
century to have been the remarkable
advance in Journalistic ideals. The
growth in this respect has been re-
markable, and particularly along lines
where the public would not readily
recognize the change. In his address,
which DR.. Sheldon calls a friendly
discussion scarcely 10 per cent is
taken up with the strong points OIL lHe
modern newspaper. This is discoIr-
aging in a paper written by man
who Yields such large influence and
who is generally SO fair in his esti-
mates.
The newspaper is concerned first OF
all in reaching the greatest number or
people. Not that the wise publisher
will sacrifice principle for the sake OF
circulation. In fact such thing is
impossible, because deep down in the
hearts of the mass of people is a sense
of right and wrong which no newspa-
per publisher or editor dare tranSgress
very far. With all their faults, and
the newspaper publisher readily adj
mits they are many, the paper that
succeeds must in the main be decent
and be on the right side. The paper
can only advance it's ideals as its pub
lisher's ideals advance. The newspa-
per editor must be ahead; he must
lead, but if he carries his banner SO
far ahead that the people do not fol-
low him he is lost in a wilderness of
idealism where he does neither him
self nor the world any good. He must
above all things keep in touch with his
people. I believe the daily press of
this country is doing this. Every year
the ethics of the publishing business
are higher than the year previous, just
as every year the ethics of the bust
ness world have improved. But, at
that I don't believe that the newspa-
pers will ever follow DIR. Sheldon's sug-
gestions to the extreme. If they did,
I am afraid that in a short time they
would find their occupation gone.

Insurance Firm Changes.

The firm of German, Bogie & Com
pany has been succeeded by Mark
Kirkpatrick & Company. The insur-
ance companies and bonding compa-
nies represented by the old firm have
transferred their agencies to the new
firm. Mr.. Kirkpatrick has been man
ager for the old company for some
time and the change in the name will
not in any way effect any persons rOr-
merly connected with the office. Mr..
Kirkpatrick has lived in Ardmore for
the past seven years, he is deserved
ly very popular and is a hard worker
and most excellent office man. Louis
Jones, the outside man for the COM
pany, enjoys a wide acquaintance and
the close friendship of many people
He has been reared in Ardmore and
is one of the livest hustlers in the
city.

WHY DOES THE MAYOR
RETAIN THIS MANI
STATE MEAT AND PURE FOOD IN
SPECToR THOROUGHLY CoMPE-
TENT.

Hide your little hammer. Don't be
a knocker. This is the advice that is
handed out to all who are interested
in the welfare and upbuilding of any
town or country, and there is no class
of people that should observe this kind
of advice more than we business men.
1t isn't good policy for any one to
kick, it Is contagious and soon be-
comes chronic. But there are some
things that we must howl about, and
we believe that the average thinking
man who favors a square deal to ey-
erybody will agree with us that we.
have howl coming in this case. Az
ter statehood a state meat and pure
food inspector was appointed, this
ed to it. The man who holds that po-
stion for the state is man who is
thoroughly competent and was giving
satisfaction to all. lie saw that meat
was handled as it should be and that
no diseased stock were sold to be
slaughtered, he used common sense I'M
the matter instead of offering a lot
of "high-faluting dope that he was
probably guessing at, or had learned
from some correspondence school mat
ters were going along nicely but there
arrived a certain gentleman CD with
flowing whiskers" and title of three
letters behind his name. He probably
informed the mayor of Ardmore that
things were not being done here by
the market and grocery men as they
We're in Chicago and as they should
be, and suggested that competent
(?) man be appointed, this gentle
man with the "whiskers" was appoint
ed and at once began to revolutionize
the ways of handling meats and gro
ceries in the city.
There were a number of the busi-
ness men arrested for the violation
of his rules, they We're convicted in
the city court, they appealed to the
district court and the cases were de-
cided in their favor by Judge Still
well H. Russell, who is considered one
of the best judges of law in the en-
tire state.
A body of about one hundred of the
business men also called on the mayor
and asked that the man who held the
as pure food inspector
for the city be dismissed inasmuch as
his place was not considered a legal
one, and that he was Objectionable to
every dealer in the city with whom he
he had business dealing. We did not
ask for the appointment of any other
one man, we did not care who would
be appointed, we only want a man
whom we believe to be competent, a
man that can tell a filthy store from
sanitary store, split beans from coffee
Or a sick COW from a well giraffe a
man that We believe will give us all
a square deal.
We think it useless for the mayor
to keep a man employed that costs
the taxpayers of Ardmore nine hun
dred dollars per year, when in the
opinion of all he doesn't do nine cents
worth of practical good.
AS it is on the eve of another cleo
tion, we would like to have the mayor
explain why he keeps this man and
explain to the taxpayers where and
how they are getting their moneys
worth. Very respectfully.
