And what is true of newspapers in
cities like those above, is true also in
cities Of lesser importance. where the
editor has a score or more of things
to do every day, and very often has
little or no time to give important mat
tiers the study and consideration nee
essary before he can write about them
with any degree of clearness or intelli-
gence. With the small office and the
small newspaper. only certain
amount of work can be handled and
it is out of the question TO conduct
the paper as if it were a metropolitan

a newspaper man to move and act in
accordance with his means and the
field in which he operates. and then

EDITORIAL VIEWS.
PRESS MUZZLING.

(Lou1sy1lle Courier-JournaI)
Under Indiana's new press muzzling
law about the worst that any news
paper will be permitted to say of any
politician is that he is a gentleman
and scholar.
In discussing the claims of candi-
dates hereafter it will be necessary,
1t would seem, to refer to that gen.
try only in a manner somewhat SINH
lar to those articles of superlative
adulation which appear in the rural
weeklies after the candidate has paid
his S. or $40 in advance for a formal
announcement of his candidacy. The
average politician who has had an ex-
perience of that kind feels that the
paper honored with his cash-in-ad-
vance announcement is under eternal
obligations to him, and should be ever
lastingly at his service thereafter.
This, despite the fact that he may not
have paid a cent on subscription
since old Hec was pup and may
have been the recipient of numerous
past favors at the hands of the pub
Usher.
PROBABLY there is 10 member of the
Indiana legislature who did not solicit
newspaper support or assistance of
some kind when he was making his
race for nomination and election.
Probably majority of those who
compose the legislature owe their
election largely to the favor of the
newspapers. The character of graf
itude that is felt is evidenced by the
passage of the press-muzzling law, an
act which, if held valid, would very
greatly embarass the newspapers in
their treatment of public questions,
and would virtually forbid any crit.
cism of any politician, however, cor.
rupt or unworthy he might be.
There are very few papers which
make a living from politics. The
average paper could not live six
months if it depended solely upon
politicians for it's support The ten.
dency among present day newspapers
is to get away from partisan politics,
and there is small wonder that such is
the case. 1t is rather strange that
SO many of the men in politics are SO
utterly blind to the signs of the times

Heart toHeart
Talks
REALITY AND COUNTERFEIT.
~ JAr1Es A. EDcERTON Q

Some people object to the word
goodness" or say they do, but down
In his Utmost heart there is no human
being who objects to the reality of
what that word means.
What he does object to perhaps is
the way in which the term is used
and the character Of some who use it.
In this he is at least partly right.
The way to preach goodness is to
live 1t. That is Infinitely better than
all the words about it. An ounce of
good works is better than a ton of
good words. The change of one letter
here means all the difference between
promise and performance.
The trouble with many who talk Of
goodness is that they do 1t in a way
that sounds like reproach. That is
not goodness. 1t is self righteousness
and condemnation.
Others use the word as a cloak.
They are hypocrites.
Yet let us not make the mistake of
rejecting the right because some hypo-
critic loudly processes it. We must
only learn to discriminate between the
genuine and the counterfeit.
Because some one passes a bad coin
on us is no reason that we should
thereafter refuse good money. Be.
cause one chair breaks under US Is no
reason that we should resolve never to
sit again Because enc friend proves
false is no reason that we should con-
clude there is no true friendship. Be
cause there are some hypocrites is no
reason that we should reject truth or
sincere people.
The world is as full Of goodness as 1t
is Of sunshine. In his heart of hearts
every one wants to be good.
I want to be good, and have no
false shame in saying it before the
world. I fall far short Of the mark,
but this IL only stumbling in the path.
Despite all the missteps, there ever
sings a little song in my heart, II
want to be good, want to be good"
So do you. Now, honor bright, don't
you?
ards; but. according to our own lights,
We want to do the right thing.
OF course we do
Well. then. let's do 1t. Why not?
But let's don't talk about it; let's
live II.
One being who lives goodness has a
better effect on others than thousand
sermons. I'know this because I have
seen it work, and you know it.
The goodness that Is talked about is
often counterfeit, but the goodness
that is lived Is the true coin.

SAVED A DOUGLAS.

Cir William Ramsay's Quick Wit at the
Battle Of Poitiers.
In.the battle OF Poitiers 1850 a num-
Der Of Scottish soldiers fought on the
side of the French, and several Of them
were taken prisoners by the English.
Among them was Sir Archibald Doug
las. Being dressed in a suit of splendid
armor, the vtctors thought they had
captured-as indeed they had-some
great nobleman. Several of the Eng.
lish were about to strip of his armor
when Sir William Ramsay of Colluthie,
who was also a prisoner, happening to
catch Sir Archibald's eye. gave him a
meaning look.
Pretending to be very angry, he cried
out: 'You rascal, how is it that you are
wearing your masters armor? Come
here and pull of my boots" Douglas,
seemingly thoroughly cowed, went
humbly forward and drew off boot,
with which Sir William began to beat
him. The English onlookers at once
interfered on Douglas behalf. saying
that he was person of great rank and
d lord.
"whatr' shouted Ramsay. He a
lord? why, he is a base knave and,
suppose. has slain his master. Go, you
villain, and search the field for the
body Of my cousin, your master, and
when you have found it let me know.
that may give 1t decent burial
All this was acted so naturally that
the English allowed Ramsay to ransom
the pretended manservant for 10 shil-
lings. The money having been paid.
Sir william gave Douglas another
thrashing and then babe him begone.
Sir Archibald lost no time in effecting
his escape which be owed solely to the
ingenuity Of his friend.
