PURIFIED NEWS.

People wonder why there is and of uplift. They wonder why wreckS, rObbcrirS and murders take up space in irlrgraphic and local reports that might be giv- en to articles telling of attempts and successes in the bcticrmcnt of humanity. They wonder if it really is true that the public de- mands much of the criminal sort of news. They wonder if there are not a great many persons who would prefer to read of the oth- CT sort, and if there arc not news items of this other sort which could be secured and printed.
 It may be said, pessimistically, that large number of people do like to read the stories of crime and accidcnt--particularly those of crime--and that dignified eX- positOry articles setting forth the needs of society for uplifL and the attempts being made 10 supply that need, please them not one whit. Even some very good pco- pie neglect the uplift articles for the other variety.
 Newspapers do not glory in criminal stories, however, and they do not suppress news of the good and true things that arc be- ing done. The trouble is that ev- il nauunts itself and good does not. Persons who do things really true and noble do not let their right hands know what their left hands do, and there arc no detectives on their trails to find them out. If man falls. com mits crime and is arrested and brought to trial, his case has an airing in the court, so that all men must know about it., but if judge, fulfilling almost the office of a pastor or priest, extends a hand downward and helps raise that same man to responsibility again after the sentence is scrv- cd, although interesting, is not given publicity for fear that the name of tn" man who is strug- sling upward will be injured and his progress impcdcd.
 There is much cffccIiv" work, too, that iS merely routine work, which would not be interesting any more than would Inc rou- tine of some line of business. The bettcrmrnI of humanity proceeds steadily through the cumulative effect of small things, with only here and there an incident dcfi- nitc enough to mark a step in the progress, and so form a basi: for newspaper article.

GERMAN PAPER PAYS
 RESPECTS TO AMERICA

Berlin, Gcrnany.--D?c daring that the United States does not dare to go to war and that Prcsi- dent Taft is the laughing stock of Europe, the Berlin Post, one of the conservative papers of Ger many, denounced that country as absolutely lacking in political good manners in abrOgating the treaty of 1892 with Russia.
 'Th" United States has always been noted for it's lack of culture and br .cdins and it's failure to have any conception of good man. ners in political affairs," says the Post. "The action of President Taft is q shining example of shirt sleeve politics and shows the SUD- posedly conservative president possesses the rough cowboy spirit which is ilourishing in American political circles.
 "America'S position is one of the utmost political insolcncc. President Taft is assuming the role of n guardian of the worlds morals. He has made himself the laughing stock of all Europe.
 "Thc theatrical pose of the Unified States is all bluff, and should not be taken seriously. It only remains for Russia tO stand hrm. America does not dare to go to war. If she does, Russia can count upon Japan to use her fleet to protect inc Slavonic pos sessions in the Orient"
