AS TO YELLOW JOURNALS


a correspondent has raised the
question as to what constitutes a yell
low journal. This opens up quite a
wide field for speculation and discus
sion. but is one that is of much inter
est TO the public. The discussion at
this time vas precipitated by an edito-
rial in this paper on a drastic criticism
which appeared I'm the Literary d.
gest touching West Virginia affairs.
and which wac based upon clippings
from various Eastern papers. The In
telligencer alluded 70 these papers as
yellow journals"
Our definition OF a yellow journal
is n that, no matter what its D
tation and standing in other matters
may be. will publish in its columns
matter about an individual or commu-
nifty calculated to injure name and
character. and which It does not know
to be true when such publication is
made. The journal which will admit
TO its columns misleading statements.
falsehood and ISLANDERS, even though
II may not know they are such at the
time. is not ~excusable. for reputable
papers will not publish damaging
statements until they know that they
are based upon absolute truth. Even
then, with fair. just and square edi-
tors. the benefit OF the doubt will al
ways be given in the prevention Of
possible injury TO the innocent The
comments reproduced by the Literary
Digest will not measure Hp to this
standard OF fairness and justice. In
this instance. M least. they have
placed themselves in the yellow jour
nal class. and the Literary Digest
has followed them.
In these comments West Virginia
is represented as a region OF trackle,s
forests. sparsely inhabited. with no
ceuters Of population to exercise an
enliehtening influence Upon the iRno-
rance and d%epravity Of the State in
general The impression is given
that the State Is not only a wilder
ness 80 far as material development
goes. but hat II IS also a benighted
region intellectually and morally. a
dark spot which Christian missiona
ries had failed TO discover IN their
worldwide hunt for heather. or from
which they had been kept through ac-
tusl fear % being eaten alive By the
savage natives n the paper that a..
tempts 20 create such impressions
about West Virginia is not a yellow
journal. then there IL no such thing
ln this instance. criminal Ignorance

THE DIVISION OF PROFITS.

There has been much discussion
lately about the division of the profits
Of industry between labor and capital.
or between labor and the owners OF
the instruments or machinery OF pro
ductiOn. 4 favorite expression OF
those who have bsen contending for
higher wages for the laborer is "secur-
ing social and industrial Justice"
This is a broad term and may readily
be construed TO cover every imagin-
able phase OF human affairs. SO far
nobody has appeared 10 oppose the So.
curing Of social and industrial Justice.
The whole civilized world has taken
a deep interest I'm the discussion Of
wages OF labor n the disposition Of
the PROFITS OF industry. but nowhere
on earth has the interest been 30 in
tense as 1t has been here In the
United States. This may BE- recount
ed for largely on the ground that
both wages and the cost Of living are
higher here than in any other country.
Another matter that has added inter
