THE BIG AMERICAN NEWSPAPER

1t would be well for some of the
publishers of metropolitan news
papers to pay attention to the critI-
cisms against the press. They are
beginning to be more numerous than
they used to be-, but they are only
noticed when some prominent figures
voice radical broadside. To look
to just and reasonable complaints
now will be far better than graphing
with the designs of the radicals later
lon.
There is something the matter with
the metropolitan newspapers of
America. They are not giving the
service. and, for the most part, they
long ago went into fields that the
country weekly and the small city
daily have happily avoided. The re-
lsult is exhibited in the better judg-
ment, the more thorough training,
and a broader perspective as traits
belonging to the last mentioned
classes of editors.
Only few days ago Mayor Gaynor
of New York-regarded as radical
| in many respects In his attitude to-
ward big newspapers-advised the
country editors not to pattern after
1.-THE New York dailies Coincident
with this came the radical move of
United States Senator Works to have
newspapers prohibited from printing
crime news. To be sure, this is
something impractical but many peo-
pie will agree with the senator that
some members of the metropolitan
press could perform a great service
by eliminating column after column
of revolving crime details.
Take the policy of some of our
neighboring Chicago newspapers, fol-
instance. The other day the news
columns told of the plan. to build q
$50, 100000 gas plant and the pur.
chase of land, upon which a plant t.
lenploye $4,000 men would be erect

ANOTHER FANCY SHATTERED

One by one they are SCATTERING all
the old illusions and knocking the
pretty, old sayings into kingdom
come.
For instance, there's the phrase
thick as autumnal leaves in
vallambrosa.
Sounds like a favorite doesn't it:
Well the trees in Vallambrosa says a
shameless iconoclast are pine and do
not shed any leaves in autumn.
We may soon expect to have it
proved to us that bird in the hand
is not worth two in the bush.

Heart toH Heart
Talks
THE BEAM IN OUR OWN EYE.
BY JAMES A. EDcERToN

lnk DkAw I'm OOk OWN Eli =.
Are we not too prone to condemn
others?
We remember what was said about
plucking the beam from our own eye
before seeking to cast out the mote
from the eye of our brother.
We likewise recall Gaat he who Is
without sin should caA'1he first stone
We also bring to mind that reform
should begin at home
Even IL others possess faults-as who
does not--is condemnation the best
way to help them remedy the defects?
Does 1t not rather beget bitterness
and stubbornness that may confirm
them in their shortcomings and create
enmity that may end our power to do
anything for them?
Is there not a better way?
Would not love. insight, understand
ing and real sympathy lead US to find
that better way?
Are not kindness and charity better
than harshness and censure?
f1ODOT DfISnt, uad you ever KNOW any
one to be helped by condemnation ?
Think 1t over.
AS matter Of fact, does not condem-
nation injure both the one doing the
condemning and the one condemned?
Does il not also tend to create a spir-
It of bitterness and uncharita bleness
in community?
Does 1t not beget factonal discord
and neighborhood Quarrels?
We judge tree by its fruits. and the
fruits of the tree of condemnation are
bad.
Critics and censors may have some
use in the world, although that is open
to question. At any rate, we have not
been appointed either to the Office of
critic or that of censor.
Criticism of officeholders and candf-
dates may be legitimate, for their acts
| concern the public. and we are g part
of the public.
But condemnation of private per-
son is a different matter.
That is interference with his affairs
and judging without complete knowl-
edge. 1t is the worst and most harm

newspapers increases
with their distance west of New York.
Yet most of them lack in world news
and the happenings of Canada or of
South America are as of those on
Mars as Jupiter. You can get an

in almost all of the big
English dailies. Some time ago Al
school children were poisoned by
drinking water from a we'll in
Canada. They died. This occurrence
had no mention in a Chicago news
paper. English and continental
newspapers deemed it of news value
and cut down a little on Jack John

1t is not to be wondered at that
President Wilson says that he takes
the weekly edition of the London
Times to learn the news of the world.
A good many London dailies could
give him an international aspect for

press that 1t is not only national but
1t is also cosmopolitan. In America
we can count the national newspapers
on the fingers of one hand. We have
