THE ARTIST"

We employ the word ARTIST somewhat advBedly. The really
good headline writer is artistic in temperament, to say the least,
and he is one not to be sneezed at.
Our weekly newspapers do not resort to headline technique to
attract attention to their columns, usually because the weekly news
papers do not feel that they have the space to waste for such
purpose.
But the daily newspaper, under conditions which have devel-
cpcd from the push and energy and rush of modern commercialism,
must tell its daily stories in its headlncs-for many people-very
many peoplc-rarely get farther than the headings in the perusal Of
their favoritc daiEcs.
1t is because of this tendency to read mainly the headlines, and
the headlines only, that the headline artist has become such an, i'm
Iportant factor in daily newspaper work.
If he be really and truly an expert, one of the sort who holds
truthfulness superior to sensationalism, he will always make his
headlines eft the articles which follow. He will never exagger-
ate. He may be somewhat sensational, at times, but he will keep
well within the facts.
He will not only keep within the facts, but he will make the
headlines, so far as practicable, tell the complete story. He will
not only state the gst of the story in the headings, but he will make
his headlines harmonic throughout, having in view the general
Typographical appearance Of the respective pages Of his paper.
1t is frequently necessary for him to count the number of let
tiers in each line as he prepares his manuscript, bearing in mind
even the width Of the letters as distinguished between the w and the
!, as an illustration. With the truly artistic headline fend, each
line of a given style and size of letter must occupy just so much
space. #
The good headline artist commands a salary, generally, well
writer's. In the salary scale the headline man generally outranks the
star reporter by several degrees.
In the days when the yellow press was at the zenith of it's
popularity, the headline man was given especially to sensationalism,
but, like many other artificial things, he failed to retain his position
cn the pedestal and was forced to give way to the "safe and sane
policy which characterzes the better element of the press of the
present day.

ANOTHER CONFIDENCE GAME. +"

The state machine appears, through its various state organs
ard the correspondents who serve them at the state capital, to have
played a confidence game upon the public.
The old regime, in its palmiest days, was never other than out
spoken in its opposition to what was the plain demand of the people
1t was open and above-board in seeking to prevent the enactment OF
a primary law, but, despite its candid although misguided course, the
people swept it out of power, consgning every man concerned there
in to private life.
But what shall we say regarding the present jugglery in state
matters9 Denouncing the Richards law and trying to voice a great
demand for its repeal, and heraIding from the housetops that the
legislature had finally cast the law into the waste basket by the
substitution OF the old Crawford law, which the people rejected in
1912, it was announced that the Richards law had finally and dein-
itely been placed beneath the sod.
But it develops that the state machine sought only to rid itself
OF those features of it which appeared to stand in the way of the
the old Crawford law at ALL 1t has eliminated only those parts OF
the Richards law which handicapped n in its attempt to perpetuate
is power and has substituted, not the best features of the Crawford
law, but certain plans and regulations conceived and concocted by
The Observation-Disclosures combination which has already selected the
main spokes in the machine alignment wheel for the campaign Of
1916.
The Saturday News cares not one whit about the identity of
the next governor Of the stateAwhether the name be Byrne, or
Norheck, Or Meaasters, OF Rinehart, or some. other. The Saturday
News main reliance for support is upon business, not politics;
upon industrial and commercial enterprise, not political and fac
tional Vaccinations, and it Is, therefore, in position to express its
convictions without fear or favor.
The Saturday News stands for the rule of the people, not tie
rule OF q political ohgarchy; for economy IN both local and state
government, not extravaganza and favoritism; for the right of the
people to determine for themselves the precise manner in which they
shall control their party nominations, not for the right Of a self
constituted eotene Of political censors to dictate methods.
It's q sad commentary on human nature that, politically speak
ing, 1T doesn't seem capable of learning from the experience of
Others. Nothing but the humping of its own head against the solid
rock seems to teach a political machine wisaom-and then it's too
late for itsspWn political welfare. Each machine in turn builds
upon the ruins of its predecessors. Each in turn thinks itself i'm
pregnable With slight notifications, each seeks to perpetpatc it
self in power along the lines which marked the downfall Of those
which it has superseded.
We sometimes wonder how many more generations must come
and so before politicians shall have learned to learn. from the ex-
perences OF those who have dug their own political graves and have
been buried therein.
