But in the front room, in the

spirit Of high adventure that is
incarnate in these marvellous
modern times. Never before
were there such grand doings in

how the world is turning into
her prince, shortening her hours
of work, guaranteeing her a liv-

the factory and in school, and
pensioning the widowed moth

little flock How tame is the

the twelve-hour day is almost
gone, and the e~ight-hour day

and accidents of labor are fall
ing from his shoulders, being
assumed by his employer; his
bank savings are guaranteed by
his government his food is no
longer poisoned; his tenement
is ceasing to be a pit Of infection;
his shop is no longer a place of
torture. And every day the
newspaper brings some fresh
and inspiring chapter of these
great stories to their readers.
Stories of progress are the mag
nifcent tales of sorcery and
wizarding that come cleaning
in celestial light across the
pages of our newspapers every
day. And in our country papers

THE M NEWSPAPER.

William Allen White in Harper's MAGAZINE.
The country town is one of
those things we have worked
out for ourselves here in Amer
lea. Our cities are not unlike
other cities in the world; the
trolley and the omnibus and the
subway, the tender hot-house
millionaire and the hardy peren-
NAL crook are found in all cities.
Class lines extend from city to
city well around the globe. And
American aversion to caste dis
when the American
finds himself cooped in a city
with a million of his fellows.
But in the country town-the
political unit larger than the vii
lage and smaller than the city,
the town with a population be-
tween three and one hundred
thousand-we have built up
something distinctively Amer
lean. Physically, it is of its
own kind; the people for the
most part live in detached wood
en- houses on lots with fifty feet
of street frontage, and from one
hundred to one hundred and ff-
ty feet in depth. Grass is the
common heritage Of all the
children-grass and flowers. A
kitchen garden smiles in the
back yard, and the service of
public utilities is so cheap that
in most country towns in Amer
lea electricity for lighting and
household power, water for the
sink and the bathroom,
gas for cooking, and the tele-
phone with unlimited use may
be found in every house. In the
town where these lines are writ
ten there are more telephones
than there are houses, and as
many water intakes as there are
families, and more electric lights
than there are men, women and
children. Civilization brings its
laborsaving devices to all the
people of an American country
The uncivilized area is
negligible, if one measures civ
ilization by the use of the CON
veniences and luxuries that civ
has brought.
In the home, the difference
the rich and the poor,
in these towns, is denoted large
by the multiplication of
rooms there is no very great
difference in the kinds of rooms
in the houses of those who have
much and those who have little.
And, indeed, the economic diff
are of no consequence.
The average American thinks he
is saving for his children, and
for nothing else. But if the
child of the rich man and the
child of the poor man meet in
a common school, graduate from
a common high school, and meet
in the country college or in the
state university-and they do
associate thus in the days of
their youth-there is no reason
why parents should strain them
selves for the children and
they do not strain themselves.

TODD middle-class people.
In the American country town
the race for great wealth has
slackened down. The traveller
who sees our half-dozen great
cities, who goes into our indus
trial centers, loafs about our
pleasure resorts, sees much that
is significantly American. But
he misses much also if he fails
to realize that there are in
America tens of thosands of
miles of asphalted streets arch
ed by elms, bordered by green
lawns, fringed with flowers
marking the procession of the
seasons, and that back from
these streets stand millions of
houses owned by their tenants
houses of from five to ten
rooms, that cost from twenty
five hundred to twenty-five
thousand dollars, and that in
these houses live a people who
have rural traditions and urban
aspirations, and who are getting
a rather large return from civ
ilization for the dollars they
spend. Besides the civilization
that comes to these people in
pipes and on wires, they are buy
ing civilization in the phono-
graph, the moving picture, the
automobile, and the fifty-cent
reprint of last years fiction sue
cess. The Woman City Fedora
ton of Clubs is bringing what
civic beauty it can lug home
from Europe and the Eastern
cities, the opportune death of
the prominent citizen is open
ing Fairgrounds and hospitals
and parks; and the country coll
lege, which has multiplied as
the sands Of the sea-. supple
ments the state schools of high
er learning in the work to youth
opportunities for more than the
common-school education.
Now into this peculiar civiliza-
ton comes that curious institu-
ton, the country newspaper.
The country newspaper is the in
carnation of the town spirit.
The newspaper is more than the
voice of the country-town spirit
the newspaper is in a measure
the will of the town, and the
towns character is displayed
with sad realism in the towns
newspapers. A newspaper is as
honest as its town, is as intelli-
gent as its town, as kind as its
town, as brave as its town. And
those curious phases of abnor-
NAL psychology often found in
men and women, wherein a dual
or multiple personality speaks,
are found often in communities
where many newspapers babble
the many voices arising from
the disorganized spirits of the
place. For ten years and more
the tendency in the American
country town has been toward
fewer newspapers, That ten
dency seems to show that the
spirit of these communities is
unifying. The disassociated
personalities of the community
the wrangling bankers, the
competing public utilities, the
vets and the drys, the Guelfs
and the Ghibellines in a score
Of guises that make for discord
in towns-are slowly knitting

back, that shall engage our at
tention at present That news
paper shall be our vision.
Of old in this country the
newspaper was a sort of poor
relation in the commerce of a
place. The newspaper required
support, and the support was
given, somewhat in charity,
more or less in return for pol
tie blackmail, and the rest for
business. The editor was a toll
Grated person. He had to be
put on the craftsmanship Of
some important committee in
every community enterprise to
secure his help. In times of
social and political emergency,
he sold stock in his newspaper
company to statesman. That
was in those primeval days
before corporations were con-
troIled; SO the EDITORS iob-press.
never let the supply Of stock
fall behind the demand. Those
good old days were the days
when the editor with the
"trenchant pen" stalked to
glory through libel suits and
shooting scrapes, and when
most American towns were be-
set by a newspaper row as by a
fendish mania.
But those fine old homicidal
days of the newspaper business
are past, or are relegated to the
less civilized parts of the land.
The Colonel and the Major have
gone CALAMITY to- dreams of
glory, perhaps carrying more
buckshot with them to glory
than was needed for ballast on
their journey but still they are
gone, and their race has died
with them. The newspaper man
of to-day is of another breed.

would snort in derision at the
youth who prevades the coun-

this young man is first of all a

held as emblems of the loathed
country villages to little factor

The shooting of Warren john
son Thursday is a deplorable af-
fair from every angle. And,
while johnson was where he had
no legitimate business and made
himself liable to attack, the pub
lie lis nevertheless interested
in the part Genoske played. Of
ficers are sometimes justified in
shooting a fleeing man in the
back, but in Genoske's case it ap-
pears to be another case of an
excitable and irresponsible man
with a gun. Shooting a man in
the back is seldom justifable
and dosen't sound courageous
to say the least.
