THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.
w. II. Hearst Pays Tribute to the
Small Paper.

than once called the attention of bus
mess men and citizens is general to
the important work that is done by
the editors of the smaller newspapers
and to the great value of those news
papers as advertising mediums.
1t would be impossible to keep this
government going, impossible at least
to keep representative and democratic
government alive in this country If it
were not for the thousands of news
paper editors scattered throughout the
land-eYery one of them a watcher
and an observer, a vigilant policeman
in politics and public affairs.
Wherever two railroads cross in the
united States and there is town or
village, there is-fortunately for the
country-a local editor.
The editor watches the two rail
roads, he watches the affairs of his
township, county, state and nation.
He talks daily or weekly to his fell
low citizens concerning affairs that
most vitally interest them. He is for
them an eye that does not sleep. a
man alert and devoted to those that
are his constituents.
If the railroad crossing kills too
many, If the railroads combine to
charge too much or serve too poorly.
If the judge governor or mayor seems
more of a railroad official than a peo
pies official, the editor is there to tell
about it.
Big metropolitan newspapers with
circulations running into many hun
dreds of thousands daily, have a pc
culiar power of their own
But if YOU took all the metropolitan
newspapers of the United States and
weighed them in the balance against
the press of the small cities and towns
of America, it would be as though you
weighed city office building against
Pixies Peak-and the local press would
be Pixies Peak.
The local editor speaks to his read
ers as one friend speaks to another.
They know him by sight They know
his record. They know the hard fight
that he has made and is making. They
know for how small a reward he rem

word from him means more than many

Seen From an Automobile.

From the New York Mall.
1t has strangely happened to the office
window man several times lately to be in
vited on automobile trips of no very great
length. These trips were through very
pleasant country ways. But after each
one was over. what remained as a recol-
lection? Simply a sense Of having ex-
per!enced a highly pleasurable rush
through the air, and a vague recollection
of broken and disjointed fragments of
landscape.
The view Of the country that one gets
while flying through it in a motor car Is a
good deal like the impression that re-
mains after trying to see everything that
is taking place in a three-ring circus.
You have portions of g great deal that Is
wonderful, but not the whole of anything.
On the return there is q picture OF q
piece of a stone wall, with a tree behind
it. What kind OF q tree? You have no
idea There were other trees, but there
is no memory of the relation Of the tree
to It's fellows; it Is as II 1t had been chop
ped out of the landscape and left there in
the air, separated from everything that
belongs to it, The stone wall begins no.
where and ends nowhere. 1t Ia stone
wall afioat in space.
Ones recollection Of the country after
an automobile ride is a kind Of jig-saw
picture. with more than kali the pieces
that compose the picture lost The habit

be strange tumble. In an automobile
one does not see-one only feels.

CRATER A VISIBLE INFERNO.
Halemauman Only Volcano Thai
Permits Approach.
John Burroughs, in Century Magazine.

John Burroughs, In Century Magazine.
Kilauea in Hawaii is round extinct
crater about three miles across and seven
or eight hundred feet deep. 1t has been
the scene Of terrific explosions in past
ages. but it has now dwindled to the small
active crater of Halemauman, which is
sunk near the middle Of it like a huge
pot 200 or more feet deep and 900 feet
across.
In the midafternoon a party of eight
or ten of us on horseback set out to visit
the volcano. The trail led down the
broken and shelving side of the crater
amid trees and bushes till it struck the
floor of lava at the bottom. In going
down / was aware all the time of a
beautiful bird song off on my left-a song
almost as sweet as that of Our hermit
thrush, but OF an entirely different order.
Our course took us out over the cracked
and contorted lava beds where no green
thing was growing.
The forms OF the lava flow suggested
mailed and writing dragons with horrid
gaping mouths and vicious claws. The
lava crunched beneath the horses feet
like shelly and brittle ice. At one point
we passed over a wide jagged crack on Il
bridge. AS we neared the crater the rocks
grew warm and sulphur and other fumes
streaked the air.
When half a mile from the crater We
dismounted and leaving our horses i'll
charge Of the guide proceeded on foot
over the cracked and heated lava rocks
toward the brink Of this veritable devil 8
caldron. The sulphur fumes are SO sufIo-
eating that it can be approached only on
the windward side. The first glance into
that fearful pit is all that your imagina-
ton can picture 1t.
You look upon the traditional lake OF
birthstone and fire, and if devils were to
appear skipping about over the surface
with pitchforks, turning their victims as
the cook turns her frying crullers in the
suffering fat, it would not much surprise
you. This liquid is rather thick and Wis
cid. but 1t is boiling furiously. Great
masses of it are thrown up forty or fifty
feet and fall with a crash like that of the,
surf upon the shore.
The mass Of boiling lava IS said to be
about one and a half acres in extent. It's
surface is covered with large masses Of
floating crust, black and smooth Ike
leather or roofing paper. and between
these masses or islands the molten lava
shows in broad, vivid lines. 1t is never
quiet.

ABOUT TO ISSUE APPEAL
AGAINST LATIN CHARACTER
German University Professors Up
hold Gothic, Though It Is
on the Wane.
Foreign Correspondence of Tn. Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
BERLIN, September 6, 1912.
The nationalist press states that an APP
peal on behalf of the Gothic character
as opposed to Latin as the medium for
printing and writing German is about to
be issued. signed by six hundred uni
verDity professors and other men eminent
in German literature and science. As far
as can be judged from the extracts seen,
this appeal is rather directed to the pa
triotism and national feeling Of the peo-
pie than founded on any alleged supe-
riority of Gothic over Latin.
The signatories state that for Germans
to give way to the advocates of Roman
type would be a weakness Of an mex
cusable character, a concession to for
eigners, to whom too many concessions
have been made already, and "a neglect
OF the inherent force OF the Germanic
idea The appeal declares that German
literature has begun conquering course,
and Is penetrating the world with its
power. and that 1t must be the object or
all true Teutons to see that German
Gothic characters are used in interna-
tional communication on the same level
as Latin characters. An appendix to the
appeal states that in the opinion Of nu-
merous medical men Gothic character IS
not nearly 30 prejudicial to the eyeSight
as Roman-an opinion which runs counter
to the views of most eminent oculists,
even in Germany.
1t is hardly likely that this national APP
peal will stay the gradual disappearance
Of Gothic. 1t has already disappeared in
the Scandinavian countries. and in Ger
many itself most scientific books are
printed in Latin type. The total disap-
pearance of the Gothic character is, in
deed. only a question of time, as was
very plainly pointed out IN the reichstag
some months ago when this body de-
bated the subject.

duirements of the future. Mr. Palmer
the chief engineer. was instructed to go
into this matter thoroughly and prepare q
report. and he is to be congratulated on
the thoroughness with which his task has
been accomplished. The program has been
divided into three sections-the first, or
urgent program. embracing works neces-
sary to be carried out without delay, al
which is estimated to cost E3, 500, 100 1t
includes reconstructing the tobacco dock
entrance. new berths and new tetties at
the London docks; new basin and berths,
passages and bridges and internal i'm
provements to the import dock and the
south dock at the West India docks; the
new South Albert deck. which has just
been started. land for another new dock,
the North Albert. and the extension Of
the dry dock at Millwall. The second
program includes works which are esti-
mated to cost E5.722.OO. The principal
item in this program is the new North
Albert dock. which is estimate to cost

RECORD SEASON FOR HERRING
Total Catch Off Scotland Coast Esti-
mated at 83,500,OO0.
rom the Pail Mall Gazette.

=
Three million five hundred thousand
pounds for herring: That is the highly
satisfactory result of the fishing season
on the northeast coast Of Scotland, which
is now rapidly drawing TO q close.
During the last four months the nightly
labors Of fishermen in the Minch and in
the Pentland firth have been attended
with considerable success, and at Ler-
wick, Stronsay, Peterhead. Fraserburgh
and all the other leading centers of indus
try the landings show a considerable ad-
vance compared with that of last year.
Up to date the landings on the north
east coast Of Scotland reach the substan-
tial total of 100000 Grams. The Gran
measure contains about 100 herrings, so
1,O72, 100000 individual fish have been
landed-enough to supply some ten dozen
"caller herrin' 3" fresh drawn from the
sea to every family in the United King
dom.
No official statement of the prices re-
allied has yet been issued, but 1t is an
exceedingly conservative estimate to put
the average value per Gran at 25s. On
that estimate the fishermen have received
for the herrings landed In Scotland this
season f1, 100000 But that by no means
represents the actual value of the herring
fishing to Peterhead Fraserbursh, Ler-
wick and the other centers of that i'm
portant industry. To the sum mentioned
must be added the wages of carriers, tsh
curers, laborers, coopers, clerks, and the
little army of fish statesmen, middemen
and retailers. The usual estimate is that
about 100 per cent must be added to the
prices paid to the fishermen In order to
obtain the actual value Of the herring
harvest to the country. On that basis the
total catch on the northeast coast of
Scotland represents the substantial sum
of e3, 200, OGO.
Many Of the highland fishermen have
already returned to their native glens
with we'll filled purses, having earned
enough during the last few months to
keep them in tolerable comfort until the
opening Of the spring fishing next year.

BITTER AGAINST POLICE.
Shooting of Laborer and Needless
Use of Arms Arouse Berlin E,ople.
of The Sfal

HVAe!sh correspondence OF Inc star.
BERLIN, September !, 1912
A tragedy occurred last night a short
distance from the bourse. Two laborers,
who were slightly intoxicated. had a few
words with couple of policemen outside
a beerhouse. One of the laborers jostled
a policeman, knocking him OFF his feet
and then shook his fist. Seeking no fur
ther excuse, the policeman, although a
comrade was standing near, drew his re-
volver and MORALLY wounded the drunk
ard, who expired on reaching a neighbor-
ing house.. The scene so shocked and
angered the passersby that the policemen
were surrounded by threatening groups
all the way to the police station, where
the authorities We're so impressed by the
spirit OF the civilians that 1t was thought
necessary to call out the guard.
The incident Is the last OF a most re-
markabIe series OF serious cases OF abuse
by individual policemen of their authority
and the misuse Of their arms. The re-
suit is that even less love is lost between
the inhabitants of Berlin and their natu-
raj guardiais than ever was the case be-
tween the Parsians and their police The
tragic incident OF last night has brought
considerable criticisms to bear upon this
undesirable state Of affairs.
