to the remarkable change in
the tone Of the American news
paper. A sign Of the times, too
is the rising quality of the A..
merican newspaper editorial.
The change is a monument to
to the onward progress of Amer

There is a thought in connec.
ton with the statements of
Bishop Berry which may not
occur TO the average critic
friendly or otherwise-who Is
commenting upon the moral
of the press. This is
.he fact that the newspapers of
America have always stood for
the best things. As many news
papers have in the past failed
because the ideals which they
advanced were too wholesome

ment and support as have gone
into bankruptcy, from all other
combined causes. Fewer pub.

this fate, however. May it not
very properly be held that pub

the place occupied so long by
the presss II this be admitted.

humblest Of origins.
A poor youth in the year,
that marked the close Of the
long battle for independence In
Cuba. Funston had left home
aud made his way to Cubn and
the camps Of the insurrectorr,
where he joined the ragged nr.

There he fought tho fight for
freedom with the patriots that
laced not alone death by bullet
but death 10y starvation.
