people, the Missouri Intelligencer and
Boon's Lick Advertiser was to be
journalism finding its opportunity and
its obligation in democracy.
"The democracy which Holiday and
Patten proclaimed in the western
wilderness, brings challenge unto us,
What is democracy? And is it the
last word in human freedom? De-
mocracy has had many definitions in
dictionaries, and in the minds of men.
Equal Moral Worth of Man.
"The best definition of democracy
that l recall is that of Pasteur, an
eminent French scientist, a tanners
son. The true democracy he said,
SIS that which permits each individual
to put forth his maximum effort To
translate it yet further into the speech
of the common folk, the true democ-
racy secures to every man the chance
to make the most and best of himself
1t recognizes the equal moral worth
of every man and would give to every
man equal opportunity.
But how may Journalism in this
present hour of opportunity answer
the challenge of the true democracy?
First, by the service of information.
The public opinion of democratic
country is the only ultimate power.
The kind and character of this public
opinion depends to a large degree
upon the press, the moral efficacy of
the general feeling and judgment
which the newspapers do most to
form. For the formation of public
opinion information is needed-ac-
curate, unbiased, complete. The
newspaper, which, while not all of
journalism, affords its largest medium
of expression, must be newspaper.

JOURNALISM IN WAR
PRAISED BY D|LhOT
Without Support of News
papers, Armies Might
Have Failed, He Says.
ENGLISH PRESS. BEST
British and American Jour
nails Lead the World, Dill
not Declares.

Newspapers are published primari-
ly to instruct, interest or amuse, and
incidentally to pay a profit" said
Frank Dilnot, British journalist last
night in his address to the Journalism
Week audience. IF they fail to in
struct, interest or amuse, they fail to
pay a profit, and, such being the i'm
perfections of this imperfect world,
they generally cease to exist. Sur
rounded by this atmosphere of expe-
diency, the press has become in all
the civilized world the greatest indi-
vidual force for the uplift, the pro-
gress and the safety of humanity"
Dilnot paid other tribute to the
work of the newspapers, especially
during the war. "They counselled the
leaders, encouraged the people, sent
fear into the enemy. / verify believe
that without the newspaper, the valor
of our soldiers might have been in
vain" o
Dilnot declared that American and
British journalism is the best in the
world. In some ways, he said, he pre-
ferred the British style, while in 9TH
ers the American seemed best. ]
Condensation, Dilnot said, is enforc-
ed in British papers great deal more
than in those in the United States,
where, he said, the tendency is to
write up, rather than condense news.
The British system, he added, loses
some of the human interest part of
the news, but gains in breyity.
"In England" Dilnot said, "the Lon
don paper is really a national paper.
That accounts for the enormous sale
of the London journals"
Dilnot described in detail the or
ganization of the London newspaper
Office, and told of many OF his ex-
periences in journalism in England
and in the capitals on the continent,
where he represented several London
papers before he was sent to America
by the London Chronicle two years
ago.
Parliamentary news, Dilnot said, is
considered much more important in
England than is news of Congress IN
the United States. This, he explained,
is due to the form of the British gov
ernment.
In closing, Dilnot spoke highly Of
the reception he had been given in
Columbia, and of the School of Jour
nalism. Schools of journalism, he
said, have taken the lead for better
journalism in America, and were un-
dertaking a movement which he felt
might well be followed by the univer-
stiles of England.

led by the influence of any party, un-
less that party should foster principles
comporting with just and orthodox
politics, will dictate the discharge OF
their editorial function. Respect for
public sentiment will always be held
in estimation. Nourished, however,
as we are, in the lap of government
in its nature strictly republican, they
can but indulge the just expectation
that their readers in general are also
neutrality-suspicious., not like ty-
rants and despots are, merely in pro-
fession while their acts prove them to
be inimical to liberty, but Republican,
like the illustrious Washington and
Jefferson were, and many of their sue
cessors-in act and deed.
LAS the tendency of our govern
ment is towards aristocracy, the en-
croachment of our rulers on the con-
stitutional rights of the people, will
never be viewed in silence. But, to
maintain unalloyed the right of suf-
frage; the liberty of conscience in
matters of religion; the liberty of the
press, and the freedom of speech;
and to keep separate and distinct &C.
clesiastieal and civil concerns, will
always be subjects enlisting the exer-
tions of the editors.
"'Public measures and the public
characters and acts of individuals in
Office will always be considered just
subjects of investigation; but no pri
vate quarrels, or the aspersion of pri-
vate characters, will find admission
into the columns of the Intelligencer.
Well written essays on any subject

missible, but are respectfully invited
A Splendid PrOnOuncement.
I'VE, of the new journalism, may
gain inspiration and high courage
from the old. 1t is a splendid pro-
nouncement which came from the
quill pens of these pioneers, and
which was stoutly maintained by
them. Truth, independence. columns
opened to all comers who had the pub !
lie interest at heart, freedom of con-
science of speech and of the press,
constant concern with public meas
ures, with a constant disdain for pri-
yate quarrels, and all power to be
used against autocracy, then as now,
dangerous to the peoples rights. In
short, free newspaper for a free !

ed an immense crowd and the consien-
ment was sold mostly In carload

Tho consignment was owned by ].
J. Leads. Of Leads, Colo. The entire

the sale as very successful.
Scattered Over Wide Territory.
The sale attracted buyers from all
over central Iowa. Six loads were bid
In by men living at points from fifty
to seventy miles distant from the city.
and all were being shipped today.
The sales company that managed
the sale got the consignment by reason
Of acquaintance with members of the
firm. Plumb Bros, bought 100 head Of
the steers from Mr.. Major q year or
more ago and the latter knew Mr.. Ma
son.
The sales company thinks the sale
was an exceptional one and proof Of
the power Of the Times-Republican adj
vertising for quick results. The sale
was Advertised exclusively in the
Times Republican and only over a
period Of three days. The crowd that
attended numbered several hundred
farmers and feeders. 1t Is probable that
