 the efficient adminetration of the

 secretary. unless he is assisted by T
 board or council made up of technical advisers. The aides meet in full council daily. and thes meet the sec

NEWSPAPER HONOR.

That d messenger of the Standard Oil Company stole letters written by Archibald and that the Hearst pa- pcrs purchased and published those evidence of one of lIearsts editors before the committee yesterday proved thesefacts He admitted pur- chasing these stolen goods from the thief and excused himself with the plea that he was acting for the pub lies benefit.
 This plea seems tn he an attempt to show that the end justifies the means. By doing good for the public the editor appears to believe the pur- chase of stolen goods to be a perfect ly honorable act. But what would be the result if this belief become gen. eral and if it were acted upon by all?
 The fact really is that newspapers are often controlled by people who are without a strict consciousness. The less scrupulous they are them, selves the more they prate about their love for the people and their desire to improve the peoples conditions. This is no careless statement. It is evil dent always that the cheapest rags are the ones that spout most about their own altruism. This is usually due to the fact that they are unable to secure support hy lawful means and by publishing real news. Being unable to do so they are driven. like quack doctors and shyster lawyers, to a nauseating and hoisterous self ad- VertiSement.
 When such sheets are not praying blutantly at people to draw attention to their own long ears they fill in the time by attacking the newspapers that are trying to serve the public

GRATIFYING CONDITIONS IN THE
 NAVY.

A careful reading of the annual report of the secretary of the navy will satisfy every impartial mind that things are going we'll in this impor- tant department. This journal has watched the development of MT. Mey- CTS administration with a critical but always friendly eye: and although. at the outset of his control. we felt call ed upon to criticise certain of the changes which he introduced. we are frank to admit that the results achieved during the past four years. entitle his administration to be con. sidered one of the most successful in the history of the department. Alto gether pardonable is the evident pride with which. in this report. Mir. Meyer refers to the mobilization of tho At. lantic fleet. which took place in <the North river. New York. during the autumn of the present year. The gathering together in orderly review and at so short notice of fleet of 12S ships aggregating 720.4S0 tons. tells the story of preparedness and en- ciency. We trust that this review. because of its powerful educative and stimulating effect upon the people oi the United States, will become an annual institution.
 The secretary opens his report with a plea for making permanent by leg islation his system of naval aides whose duties are to advise the secre- tary on complex questions calling fol technical knowledge. Three years

conservatively and decently. As the shyster hates the successful lawyer and as the quack hates the real med ical doctor the yellow sheet hates and lies about the paper that has estab- liShed itself by solid business meth ods. Tt will not even stop at the most contemptiblc methods. While accus- ing others of defrauding and deceiv- ing the public it will misauote the paper il hates and put words into its mouth" that it never said. 1t aspires to be attacked in return that 1t might be recognized by decent papers for 1t retains the desire of the abandoned woman for the recognition of the bet ter ones of her species.
 of course the editors of the Hearst papers are not men without con- science. but the Hearst papers have an extraordinary taste for talking about the good they do the public. while they forget that they publish stun Iudt ls Wtti ItiCuiateu bu ioWef the morals and the sense of decency of ten thousand more people than Archibald's letters to Roosevelt could ever hurt.
 The United States is really too lib- eral in matters relating to the press. Some newspapers published in this country would. not be permitted in many other countries. It is all right to say that the press should be free. but the press has no more right to advocate reasonable practices toI print indecent suggestions or to at- tack. even by inuendo. the characters of people than has any individual.
 Restraint is the principal charact- eristic lacking in most of the cheap CT" kind of newspapers as it is the principal characteristic lacking in most pseudo orators. pseudo poets. pseudo everything. Many newspa pers might be all right bu, they be- lieve that the general public requires something with false glitter. In this they are partly right. but as long asI hundreds of newspapers cater every day to the lower tastes of the popula- tion SO long will the tone of the press be low and so long will the public taste remain at a low standard.
 By their constant presence amongst the people newspapers exercise an influence which is far greater than people imagine. No one can read al newspaper every day without being influenced to some extent by it. This does not mean that the policy of al paper will become his or anything like it. IL means something more subtle such as the difference in the erects| which might be caused by different which are constant to the view.
 In this way practice of stealingl private corresondence. if made popu- lar in newspapers and if told and ex- cused in newspapers. might soon come to be regarded as a justifiable pro- ceeding instead of being what it real ly is in itself-a mean theft.

PLAN RECEPTION
FOR COMMISSIONERS
Trade Organizations Of City to
Meet This Week and Event
Will Be Considered.

The executive boards in all the three
trade organizations of the city will meet
this week, the matter of chief import
ance being the determination Of arrange

Districts new Commissioners.
This reception is to be held jointly by
the Board of Trade and the Chamber
Of Commerce and a joint committee will
be appointed from these organizations
to arrange the affair. The meeting Of
the Board of Trade directors is sched-
uled for tomorrow at noon and the
Chamber Of Commerce directors are to
meet Wednesday night at o'clock
The board Of governors of the Retail
Merchants Association will meet tomor-
row at 2 o'clock
Because of the absence from the city
of SO many Of the members of both the
Board Of Trade and the Chamber of
Commerce, the reception to the new
Commissioners probably will not be held
until the fall
In addition to this reception, II is
probable that a testimonial will be ex-
tended the recently retired Commission
ers on behalf of the two trade bodies
What form this testimonial Is to take
will be determined by the joint COM
mittee that is to be appointed
