PRESIDENT WILSON LEADS PAR
ADE IN HONOR Of SOLDIERS

which its members are interested. The
schools of the country have been doing
their work and neither the newspaper
nor the politician appreciates the ad-
vancement made by the public in edu-
cation and general information.
The newspaper of today is to it's
readers just what it's unregenerated
ancestor was to the public of fifty
years ago. It is too frequently dull,
heavy and weighed down with un-
necessary and inexcusable verbiage.
In <order to learn what you want to
know you must read columns of stuff
that you care nothing about.
Pick up at random copy of paper
from the pile of exchanges and glance
over the article. If it tells that Ar
thur Smiths mule kicked Henry Gait
and broke his leg, it will take a fifth
of column. The color of the mule,
something of his ancestry, his mulish
habits, and perhaps the name of the
man who last trimmed his hoofs,
might be related in detail. You read
three or four inches of details to learn
a concrete fact that could have been
told in the space of ten lines.
The paper is generally too heavy,
too dull and too verbose. 1t is not
half as well written as it should be,
and its editorial columns are not up
to the standard of excellence which
its readers demand. This is not true
of all papers, but it is true of so
many that the others are the excep-
tions. .
The whole reading public is in re-
volt against the big Sunday news
paper. On every hand you hear peo-
pie say that it is more trouble to
find the news than it is to read it.
During and following the Civil war
period the daily newspapers did not
put out Sunday issues.
IN New York city the Sunday Dis
patch, the Sunday Mercury and
Noah's Sunday Times supplied Sun
day reading. They were eight-page
papers, but of the very large pages of
that day. The Herald, Times and Sun
began the issue Of Sunday papers, and
the Tribune some time later reluctant
ly followed. Mr.. Greely protested
against the innovation. But these
were newspapers of the regulation
kind, much like the daily issues of the
period.
Some years later came the freak
Sunday paper with its magazine an
mex, and its tremendous advertising
patronage. The novelty at first caught
the public, and the great profits graft
fled the publishers. The idea swept

IRISH WANT PROPORTIONAL
REPRESENTATION IN FUTURE
ELECTIONS IN THAT COUNTRY

Dublin, Feb. 27.-The recent elec~
tions for Sligo corporation were con-
Quoted under proportional representa-
tion. In Sligo the Sim Feiners are in
an overwhelming majority and under
normal conditions virtually would
have monopolized the council. But the
result of proportional representation
was to divide up the membership, Civ
ing representation to minorities and
actually returning a unionist at the
head of the poll. This experience has
increased the activity of the Irish Pro-
portional Representation society which
hopes to induce the government to
have the principle extended to all Irish
elections.

OF NEWSPAPER
TO CRITICISE is UPHELD

The libel suit of Geoffrey Stein, an
actor, against the New York Tribune
Publishing company was decided in
favor of the defendant in the supreme
court
Stein alleged that he had been IL
belled in an adverse criticism of his
acting in play, ''The Awakening of
Spring" which was produced two
years ago.
Haywood Broun, dramatic critic of
the paper, characterized STEMS act
ing as the worst he had ever seen,
and assailed the play as unclean, in
decent and unhealthy. The jury con-
sidered the criticism justified and re-
fused STEMS demand for $4,000
damages, which, he alleged, his pro-
fessional reputation suffered.

MEXICO HAS NOTHING TO SAY
ABOUT SELLING TERRITORY

Mexico City, Feb. 27.-Government
comment is not forthcoming on the
proposal in the American congress and
the California legislature that Presi-
dent Wilson be instructed to open ne
gotiations with the Mexican govern
ment for the purchase of Lower Cali
fornia and part of Sonora. It was
irtimated, however, that comment
would not be proper with the project
~~N@O~U0-~~NO0~~Oo-N~O~
over the big cities, and the volunin-
Gus Sunday paper became a perma-
nency. The postal laws of that day
ermittedaanything to be sent out sssl-
der newspaper postal rates. When the
revised edition of the New Testament
was made public, number of Sunday
newspapers printed it as supplement-,
so that their readers first received it
that way.

AFTERNOON
AT MRS. ROY FERNALD'S

The Sewing club spent a delightful
afternoon with Mrs. Roy Felnald yes
terday. These ladies always have a
jolly time when they meet. We do not
have the names of all present, but it
was the usual crowd. Don't we wish
we could have dictophone at one of
these talkfests of the ladies and print
all that was said in detail. Bet we
would have local news to last month
We believe that almost every live
topic of the day is discussed, and we
hope soon to learn they have framed
everything up for the peace confer
ence to pass on; rearranged the map
of the world and perfectly able to do
anything else which they may decide
to do--of course, this is all talk.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Washington
gave President Wilson its formal well
come home today by turning out in
thousands to cheer the parade down
Pennsylvania avenue, headed by the
president, in honor of homecoming
soldiers of the capital.
Marching with swinging stride,
the president took the lead as the pro-

ment at the capitol grounds. Army
airplanes and dirigibles hovered over
head. 1t was the presidents first pub
lie appearance here since his return
from France. A marine band, shoui-
dering big flags, marched in the pro-

Sharp Criticism OF
Newspapers
Dull, Heavy and Verbose, as Well as
Too Bulky and Out of Date, Says
Lewis A. Leonard

The newspaper of today is in the
same condition relatively that the pa
pers were in the readjustment pc
riod following the Civil war. They
are mostly tuned to the period that
is fast passing. As business read
justments come, they must adapt
themselves to new conditions. Those
that do not win drift to the rear.
There is practically no competition
in the newspaper world of today. In
about every city one or two journals
keep the lead because they found
themselves in it. The Others trof
around circles in the rear making no
real effort and getting nowhere Con-
ditions are constantly making it
harder for the morning paper in the
smaller cities, and many hpE,
by the wayside. Correspondingly the
afternoon papers in these places have
fiourished, not because of any special
merit or effort, but because they could
not very well help it.
The newspaper of today, like many
politicians, has failed to recognize
the advanced intelligence of its con-
stituency. Soapbox and claptrap ora
tory does not go today. An audience
listening to a political speaker ex-
poets an intelligent and enlightening
discussion of the public questions in

GERMAN MONARCH|STs ARE
TRYING TO GET CONTROL

London, Feb. 27.-The monarchists
of Germany are contemplating, a coup,
in the opinion of the Mails Berlin cor
respondent, who says that the old of
ficer class, with the general staff, has
been gradually getting the whip hand
there since January 13, and now holds
the government in its power. The
threatened coup would be carried out
in Berlin alone, the correspondent
writes, and probably would, for a
time, be successful, although it would
result in ruthless civil war and un-
scrupulous political murders.

ESTHONIAN ARMY DEFEATS.
BOLSHEVIKI IN BALTIC AREA

Stockholm, Feb. 27.-An official
statement by the Esthonian army
headquarters reports severe fighting
near Narya Pskov, Volman. and Sails
burg, and claims that the Esthonians
repulsed the bolsheviki, inficting Sc
rious losses.
A Petrograd telegram says the boil
shevik newspapers are commenting
anxiously upon the reverses sustained
in the fighting against the Esthonians,
and arrivals from Libau declare that
the bolsheviki on the Baltic front are
weakening and their organization ap-
pears to be near a collapse.

FRENCH DELEGATION WILL
THEORETICALLY OPPOSE
SINKING OF GERMAN SHIPS

Paris, Feb. 27.-The French delega-
tion to the peace conference will en-
ergetically oppose the sinking of the
German fleet, says Stephane Lausanne
in the Matin. The other powers may
do as they like with their share of the
fleet, but France is firmly determined
to use the ships which fall to her when
the fleet is divided among the allies in
proportion to the losses each has suf-
fered during the war, Lausanne adds.

after-care for disabled men.
To make disabled soldiers or civilians
self-supporting, rather than to permit
them to lose initiative and lapse back
upon the support of war pensions or
workmen's compensation relief is one
iof the aims of the conference. Point
ing out that many more men are dis
abled annually in industry than have
been incapacitated by military service,
the authorities who have an interest
in the cripple are planning to give the
civilian the same relief as the soldiers.
