IN WHICH WE ARE DISCOVERED.

IN WHICH WE ARE DISCOVERED.
Henry James in a recent article
speaks of American newspapers in the
following wise words: 1.-The most
comprehensive journalistic formula
that I have found myself, under that
observation. reading into the general
case is the principle that the first duty
of the truly appealing sheet in given
community is to teach every ind1vid-
ua1 reached by it-every man, woman
and child-to count on appearing
there in their habit as they live if they
will only wait for their turn" This is
saying in other words that the chief
end of an American newspaper is TO
print the names of people. Speaking
broadly, that is a fair statement OF the
American newspapers reason for be-
ing. First of all, it is in the business
to print the news, and the names OF
people is news. incidentally, part OF
a newspapers business is to advocate
a program; to propagate a cause. But
unless a newspaper prints the news,
it's advocacy of a cause will not much
help the cause Getting ones name IN
the paper is an American art 1T Is
part of life. Sooner or later every
American does get his name in his To-
cal paper; either his birth notice, his
wedding notice. his daughters or MS
sons birth or wedding notice or his
death notice. For that newspaper are
printed. For that we subscribe
for the papers. Henry James has
found us out. The perspicacity of the
Massachusetts James Brothers for
getting at motives, is as keen and as
accurate as the instinct of the Missouri
boys of that name for train robbery

in imagination the anxiety of Pope
Benedict as with the eye OF the phil

his own land which is being darkened
by the clouds of war. The prayer for
peace ordered by Pope Benedict to be
read throughout the Catholic world
was recited by Father Hannah before
the shrine of the Blessed Virgin.
