EDITORIALS
NEWSPAPER MALICE"

The release Of w. R. Nelson. owner
of the Kansas City Star, who
has been found not guilty of charges
of contempt of court growing out of a
report of q divorce case, is an event of
significance in the newspaper world. 1t
is in line with the tendency of the courts
to protect fair criticism.
Newspaper men will rejoice that the
Missouri courts do not sanction at
tempts to make ''malice" in it's legal
sense different from its meaning under
common sense, or to imagine malice
where it does not exist.
Laying aside the legal question, the
public too often imagines malicious
feeling in the newspaper. The politi-
clan, "reading between the lines"
used to the roundabout borrowings of
diplomacy, thinks the most innocent
item that the reporter turns in to fill
space as the subterranean attempts of
a rival to do him discredit.
The people who are criticised always
take it as much more personal than it

Unless some injury has been lone to
him, he feels no more personal spite
against men with whom he differs than
he would if he were telling about
Thomas Jefferson. In the heat of cleo
toral battles, he may say and feel sharp
things. But it is all on the surface.
The men of other professions are free
to say the most damning things about
their fellow citizens in private, and
then to welcome the objects of their
detestati on with the proffered hand of
pretended friendship. The newspaper
man, on the contrary, is under CONTRACT
and bound in honor to tell his reader,
not merely the facts of what has hap
pened, but what he thinks it all means.
If he proves false to that contract the
people don't want his paper. After he
has fulfilled this duty, it will be found
that newspaper malice" is a fiction,
and that he has only a kindly feeling
for any loyal friend of the common

NURSES OF $50 YEARS AGO
Old Time Article Tells the Difficult
Duties and Requirements Of Their
Profession.

In their History of Nursing" the
authors, Miss Nutting and Miss Dock,
quote from an article written in 1854,
which gives an insight into what was
required OF the trained nurse in the
eighteenth century. The article says:
Ihls occupation Is as important for
humanity as its functions are low and
~Tepugnant. All persons are not
adapted to II, and the heads of hospi-
tails ought to be difficult to please, for
the lives of patients may depend upon
their choice of applicants. The nurse
should be patient, mild, compassion
ate. She should console the sick,
ioresee their needs, and relieve their
tedium. The domestic duties Of the
nurse are: To light the ores in the
wards and keep them going; to carry
and distribute nour1shment; to accom-
pany the surgeons and doctors on
their rounds, and afterwards to re-
move all dressings, etc.; to sweep the
halls and wards, and keep the persons
Of the patients and their surroundings
clean; to empty all vessels, and
change the patients linen; to prevent
noise and quarreling and distur.
Dances; to notify the steward Of
everything they see which In wrong;
to carry out the dead and bury them;
to light the lamps in the evening, and
visit the sick during the night. and
to watch them continually, giving them
every aid which their state requires,
and treating them with kindness and
consideration

Renaissance lines. along with empire
arrangements In clinging chinons and
nets and laces touched with silver, or
gold, or crystal, or Jewels.
Long unlined coats of silver or gold

The robe Is built much upon the lines
