AN EvOLUTED PRESS.

want the newspapers to do their roast
ing. In other words, they think news
papers are in the roasting business. If
they get a grievance, instead of going
to the source of their troubles and
registering their kick and taking what
follows, they think they have a perfect
right TO call on the newspaper to do
the kicking and take their cussing.
The next time you feel like calling on
the newspaper to kick for you. COM

ber the paper has troubles Of its own,
and do it yourself.
Years ago. when newspapers were
not true to name and their proper func-
tions were not recognized. in many
cases, even Ly those who we're editing
them, the roasting" business was ac-
counted main duty TO be performed.
But the natural evolution of the pub
fishing business has educated the pub
lie, and along with the public, the edi
tors, TO a clearer understanding of the
obligation of the press. The first obh
cation of newspaper, of course, is to
print the news. There are various
ideas as to what news is and the most
successful news editor is that one who
is keenest in his search for news and
quickest in his recognition of the COM
parative values of the many items
availale. Along with the news the
competent publisher finds it desirable
to run department of review and criti-
cism, and designed to comment on and
clarity the political and social and gem
eral happenings, also to guide the
reader, when the reader is 80 inclined,
to a fuller understanding and apprecia-
tion of the more momentous matters of
public policy. This department is the
editorial page. and that page is a sort
of balance wheel for the publication,
and is presumed 10 redect passing
events and fOreshadow events to come.
Also il is designed, in all legitimate
newspapers, to really and honestly
serve the papers patrons in formuat-
ing their views and guiding their ex-
pressions and their votes. But when
ever this important function is allowed !
to degenerate into a roasting ma
chine" its value and interest rapidly |
decline, and the machine deservsdly |

His engine had proceed about 100 yards

Following the argument Judge Gunter
announced that he would take the case

The case was instituted early this
year by the Jefferson Board of Reve-

sion to pay to that county the full
amount of the state appropriation for

ground that the road had not been

Indispensable Express Service

THE Daily Times Chattanooga, Tenn,
November Z, 1913.
1t would seem that a general condition
of unrest exists as regards the future of
express business in this country, says the
New York Commercial 1t has been very
difficult for those on the outside to ae-
quaint themselves sufficiently with facts.
not only as regards past performance of
express companies, but the possibilities
of the future. Have the express com
panies in the past been necessary evils
as many seem to regard them, or a nee
essary economic factor in the whole
scheme of commercial activity?
Are the express companies deserving of
the abuse that has been heaped upon
them? Are the rates extortionate, and
do their practices show utter disregard
of just demands? Such questions Ger
tainly deserve thoughtful considerations
Human nature is a curious element with
which to deal We quickly forget and are
easily led. The things that are provided
for our comfort and convenience, we
often take as a matter of course, until
we forget how necessary it all may be
to our existence. 1t is not surprising.
therefore, that many may have been led
to believe that the postofflce department
would eventually conduct the express
business of the country, and that the
day of tyranny was over.
The present attitude of the govern
ment," SO express factors declare, pre-
sents curious spectacle unparalleled in
the history of administrations. Seemingly
not content with broadening the scope of
its postal service by increasing the
weight limit, and at the same time offer
ing cheaper transportation for merchan-
disc, and a service with most decided
limita tions. it forces the express compa-
nies to reduce their rates to a point
where it is said that it would seem prac-
tically impossible to maintain the pres
ent high efficiency in service"
In trying to build up a department of
its service that would likely be MAIN
tained at an enormous loss to the gov
emment, particularly If they fulfil their

obligations to the railroads. and which
means tax on the people, il would de-
stroy or in1ure public service that has
been financially successful
That those engaged in building up the
express business should have made it
financial success, seems to be the basic
reason for individual criticism and gov
ernmental investigation. Through it all.
the fact seems to have been either ig-
nored or overlooked, that this success
was due in a large measure to the pros
perty. of the county itself-that the ex-
press business has been snecessful--only
because 1t has been a vital factor in
building up individual and national pros
perity, rendering a service neither dupli-
Gated nor approached in this or any other
country-a veritable pathfinder of COM
merce.
We feel that whatever the future OF
the express companies may be we should
be very deeply concerned in that great
army of shippers, whose business has
been built up largely because Of express
service and whose interests demand the
high standard of efficiency. We cannot
but feel that had the public been more
familiar with the real purpose and prac-
tice of express business the many and
varied functions of the service rendered
and the extent to which it has added to
our comfort and convenience, there
would have been less criticism, largely
due to ignorance
Public service interests must have the
intelligent appreciation and good will of
the people. II would seem that those who
have been engaged in building up pres
ent existing express service for those
who demand it, have been too much oc-
eupied In meeting changing conditions
and the ever-increasing demands of the
shipper, to take into account that public
service interest of any kind cannot afford
to overlook public opinion. Continued ST
lence on the part Of the express compa-
nies under persistent criticism and at
tack, has naturally left the impression
that there was no answer to make and
that whatever might be said, was justi-
fed.

MADE RECORD CATCH.
42 1-2 Inch Masl<inonge Taken &a
 Boys Camp in Ontario.

Monroe Warwick son of MT and Mrs. George Warwick fthis city, and Stanley Brown who are spending the summer at the Boys camp at Stone House Point. near Cornwall last week.
 They were out trolling, and about a mile and half below the point hooked a beauty 42 1-2 inches long, weighing 20 pounds. Stanley Brown held the line and it was his first bite that is the first fishhe had ever caught, It is easier to imagine than to des- cribe the thrills of excitement he ex- perienced before he had the trophy safely in the boat, Being inexp xperienced cd, and really not expecting more than a pickerel or tive, the young men had no gaif with them, so that they had to play the fish until they could reach 1t with an ear and stun it sufficiently to allow them to haul it into the boat, On reaching the camp, they were surrounded by their ehums and received warm congratulations. 9th CT parties had been cut fishing. but the biggest fish of their catches was a F inch pike. This was held up for comparison with the maskinenge, and someone jokingly slipped it into the capacious mouth Of the big fellow caught the pike, and in trying to ex- tricate it the string was broken and it slipped down out of sight, only to be recovered when the big fish was cut open to be prepared for the cook.
