STRONG POINTS OF MODERN NEWSPAPER
Rev, Charles NJ Sheldon in New York Independent.


features OF an educational character.
The editorial discussions carried on
from day to day are In many papers
of great assistance in shaping public
opinion. Articles are published in
the daily press gathered from the
ends OF the earth from the best litera-
ture from the best minds, both past
and present. One could gather from
file of daily papers In this country
whole volumes of literary value.
These are continually coming into the
homes Of the people and enriching
and charging the lives of the read
ers.
4. The modern newspaper is me-
dunn of intelligent publicity between
states and nations.
A newspaper is democratic thing.
It is for all the people. One of the
essential things in government is
that the states in republic like ours
should be acquainted with the history
of one another. The newspapers fur
nish this history What once took
days and weeks and sometimes years
to accomplish is now brought to pub
lie notice in short order through the
press, and even country as large as
our own, with its varied interests and
different local concerns, Is in a re
markable degree unified and knit to-
gether through the printed pages Of
different newspapers of the different
states, each one taking account OF
the doings of the entire people. In
the same way the knowledge of other
countries and their affairs thousands
of miles distant helps to unite the In
terests of the world. The modern
newspaper occupies large place in
the shaping CT democracy.

fact that is that practically every
law on the statute books Of Iowa
which is humanitarian in It's charac-
ter has been placed there within the
past ten years. Before that time such
laws were conspicuous only by their
absence. He pleaded for more legis-
islation which shall affect the CON
ditions OF all men to their better
ment And his plea met hearty sym
pathy.
What Is true Of Iowa ten years ago
was true Of ell the states and is still
true of most of the states Iowa is
in advance OF all other states in legis-
lation unless Wisconsin is to be ex-
cepted These two stand in the van
in practical operation OF an awakened
public conscience; and George Clarke
at once hard headed, practical bust
ness man and idealist represents more
nearly the practical purposefulness OF
the popular awakening than any 9TH
er candidate for governor nominated
by any sister state for its highest and
most important office. Idealistic with
judgment purposeful with poise. stur-
Oily progressive and exceptional in
balance and capacity, Clarke is an

+ CHICAGO, Aug. r. Hurting the
charge OF party treachery at the
boosters of the third party ticket in
Illinois, Roy @. West, in a public
statement said that the Roosevelt fol-
lowers who were advocating third
ticket in the state were planning to
defeat Governor Deneen and elect Ed
ward F. Dunno, the democratic candi-
date, for governor. The republican
state chairman charges Prof Charles
3. Merriam with the leadership in the
"treachery."
1t was expected following Vests
statement that his charges would be
aired on the floor of the state progress
sive convention which opens Satur-
day. West said:
In the election contest for mayor
of Chicago, Mr.. DUNES friends are
known to have helped Merriam. There
has been a bond of sympathy since
then. The third party advocates know
there is no chance of electing a third
party candidate and that their only
hope is to defeat Deneen If possible.
Progressives generally throughout the
state understand the situation and

Marshalltown Times Republican.
Lieutenant Governor Clarke, candi-
date for governor OF Iowa, spoke in
Marshall county yesterday to an as
semblage of farmers and business
men to his own great advantage and
the pleasure and approval of his audi

only in what he promulgated but in
the glimpse it afforded of the man
himself. Mr.. Clarke made many new
friends yesterday and strengthened
the bond between himself and those
who have long known and admired
him not less for his fine judgment in
state and business affairs than for
his complete manliness.
Governor Ciarke's conception of a
greater Iowa includes the farms and
the factories and the workshops and
the men and women and children on
the farms and in the workshops from
the wcrkingman up to the capitalist.
1t includes the business and the

YOK. England, Aug. 2.AAs he
might have expected, DR.. Richard
Quine of Manchester discovered today
that he was stirring up a hornets nest
when he told the sanitary congress
here that ENGLISH women ought to
battle more-as much as Amercain
women do. On the London newspa-
pers arrival at York, filed full of let.
ters from all over Great Britain the
doctor learned what English women
think of him.
The doctors theory is that English
women are bashful and dislike being
seen in undress fitting from dressing

American women don't in the least
dislike it.
American women battle more fire.

TRESPASSERS ON RAILROAD LINES
Public Indifferent to One Phase of Accident Situation
Railway Age Gazette.

About four months ago the president
of the Burlington sent a letter to the
governors of the states through which
his line runs regarding the trespassers
who are killed on railways. In the
course of it he said: 'sIf the average
for the last ten years Is holding good,
fourteen people were killed yesterday
while trespasslng on the railways,
whose deaths were wholly unneces-
sary, and under proper laws might
have been avoided; fourteen were
killed today, and fourteen will be kill
ed tomorrow. And yet, chiefly because
these fourteen people who are killed
daily meet their deaths in fourteen
different places, almost no public no
tice is taken nor concern manifested. .
But Mr. Miller said in this connec-
|ticn: If a wreck should take place to-
morrow in which fourteen people
should die, the news of it would be
widely printed over the country 1t
was the irony of fate that in SO short
a time collision accident took place
on the Burlington itself in which thir-
teen people were killed, and that there
ensued the very result Mr.. Miller an
ticipated. The news about the wreck
at Western Springs has been printed
all over the country. and the accident
is being investigated by the coroner

IL Z
The modern newspaper is q
splendid everyday source of world
knowledge.
With remarkable energy and enter
prise the managers of the modern
press reach around the world with
long arms and strong hands to secure
knowledge OF world events. These are
brought to our doors at minimum
expense. World history, the advance
ment of science. the movements OF
government, adventure, sport, com
merce, human energy in various and
interesting forms become a part OF
the individual readers education. The
modern paper serves a vast number
OF individuals, working for the en-
richment and interest of their lives.
2, The modern newspaper is the
advocate OF the people.
In very many important cases it
starts reform movements for the good
OF the entire community. In very
many cases the newspaper originates
plans for human betterment, some
times on an exceedingly large and I'M
selfish scale. If it had not been for
the assistance of the newspapers In
Kansas. it is doubtful if the present
prohibitory law would now be in
force. In general the press of the
state. in overwhelming majority, join
ed hands with the church and good
citizens to advocate what was in
many ways very unpopular move
ment, which cost many papers heav-
lily in financial way. The same use
Of the modern newspaper is found in
many instances in different periods OF
history.
8. The modern newspaper is OF
great educational value, with special
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1912-08-02

column after column of newspaper
comment, and it is thought that some
important recommendations by the
public authorities may result. Mean
time it seems pertinent to inquire
what are the public authorities, who
are SO diligently inquiring into the
sensational Burlington accident and
preparing recommendations on the
facts disclosed, doing along the same
line to prevent the deaths of fourteen
trespassers who are killed each day on
the average on our railways? Nothing.
The trespassers continue to trespass,
they continue 10 be killed, at the rate
Nof 5000 year, and the public author
titles ard the public continue to do
nothing about them and, apparently to
care nothing about them They find
it much more agreeable to become ex-
cited and active about the fatalities
fer which they may hold the railways
about those for which they themselves
are responsible. although those for
which they themselves are responsible
arc many times the more numerous.
The Railway Age Gazette recognizes
the heavy responsibility of railway
! but the attitude OF the public and the
directors and managers for accidents,
public authorities toward them is
enough to make a sane man who views
the accident situation as whole feel
very, very tired.
