Noise of the BalIy-hoo.

Waterloo Times Tribune The pro.
gressiye republican and bull moose
press is thrown into series of
spasms by the socalled Mullhall "ex-
pose" But this is not at all strange.
1t is rather to be expected. ANY how.
ling demagogue or spinning deryisher
can cause a swimming sensation to
develop in the head of the so-called
progressive press-progressiv by its
own word, but insanely impetuous il
left to be designated by outsiders.
The self-designated progressive press
cannot stand before the bally-hoo two
minutes before mounting the plat
form and engaging In the din. Any
thing that will attract the noisy, the
curious, the superstitious, the pessi-
mistfc the dyspeptic is eagerly gulp,
ed by the self-styled progressive
press. And the real progressive
newspapers and citizens who would
make real progress-the kind that
builds UP without tearing down, that
progresses without destruction to the
pathway, march on in the even tenor
or their way oblivious of the wierd
bally-hoo, unmindful of the wild
scramble, most of the time on all
tours, unconcerned Of the running
amuck Of the self-appointed leaders
OF progress.
We would not, however, deprecate
the sermons preached by the self
styled progressive press, as there s
some good in everything. The dema-
gogue has his place, SO has the agf-
tator. The former breaches but is
little heard, the latter sometimes
lives to see some of his reforms"
brought about. But Notwithstanding
it all, reforms, that is, lasting reforms
always come slowly. 1t is the real
progressive newspapers and citizens
that finally win the day So they are
not disturbed at the noise of the
bally-hoo brigade; they are content to
read the facts and fancies with a
smile and 20 enjoy the rip and tear
lit all comes out in the wash" and
1t always rests with the real progress,
sive newspapers and citizens to do
the washing.

The social realization Is often best
accomplished by working with Others
for some higher ideal. 1t is difficult
to be social with ones immediate
competitor, but even two rivals can
operate together toward some COM

No one can be finally social who
insists on dividing men into fixed

the same class. Present day educa-

making us exclusive. Finally, one be-
comes social by linking the past

PRESIDENT FINLEY'S DEATH.

William Wilson Finley, native Of Mississippi
was one of the great railway men of the country
He had served all the way from the bottom to the
top of the ladder and in many sections of the coun-
try. He knew every nook and corner of his beloved
South, and we'll he had seen service in the far
Northwest in the days of its early development un-
der the strenuous Hill. He knew the business of
opening and building new country and he knew
also the full measure of the opportunity and re-
sponsibity of great railroad system in rebuilding
restoring and revivifying old country.
In the seven years he served as president of
tie Southern Railway that system made long strides
keeping it fully in pace with the great growth of
the South. That period in which it was espe-
ciay fortunate for both the railway and the section
in which it is so great factor in community af-
fairs, that man of the South was at the hem a
man also, with the largest grasp of the whole ma
tional transportation problem. Monuments to
President Finley are to be seen in the revived and
especially tine newly diversified agriculture of the
Cotton States in the and aboundng indus
riasm in the wider outlook of the people, in the
splendid modern cities that have grown up and that
are yet developed at a rate which makes the out
look on the future one rosy with promise and
assurance.
The death of Mr.. Finley at his Washington home
suddenly that family, friends, and associates could
hardly believe it possible, was most untimelv from
every point of view and misfortune to all of the
wide-ranging interests in which the mans per-
sonality was so important part. Washington in
particular will mourn the death of a man VINO had
better conception than many others, of the poten-
talities of this city's relations to the South
