ENGINE OF PUBLIC SERVICE Newspaper Today Not, as of old, the Mouthpieee of Any Individual
 or Party.

Not so many years ago a newspa- per was a printing press surrounded by a group Of individuals chiefly con cerued in getting their own private theories or doctrines before thei; readers.
 Today the newspaper Is an engine Of public service. Its success hnan- cially and morally is measured by the degree in which 1t supports not party but the people.
 Those today who have a Twentieth century ideal of achievement separate the newspaper from the individual and make ir first and foremost an organ of public service built by the people for the people. The Journal which most nearly fulfins its highest pur- pose is that which is indistinguiSh- able in policy from the natural trend of progress and march of liberty and free thought.
 Political prizes were the aims of the old-time editor. His policies were based on his own party interests and he discussed every public question with a fcrocity and partiSanship pro- poruonute to the reward he expected 10 get out of 1t.
 The establishment of an institution, a living thing, which represents the public interest and nothing else-that should be the ideal of the editor.
 It is this ideal which has made newspapermeu priesthood and has separated them-sOme of them-frOm politics. For this age is not ma Jcriultstic uge-in spite of opinion to the cOntrary.-YUncouyer Sun.

unearthlY Music.

Of Coleridge and "Kubla Khan" the following strange story Is told. The poet had fallen asleep In his chair after reading the following lines h purchus's "PIlgrImage": Here the Khan Kubla commanded a palace to be built and a stately garden there unto; and thus ten miles of fertile ground were inclOsed with a wall"
 "In my sleep" he said, T dreamed two hundred lines of beautiful poetry. The images rose up before me with out any sensation or consciousness on my part. When I awOke the lines were vivid in my memory, and I be- gan to write them"
 AS in-luCk would have It. however, a friend called to see him before he had completed his task; and when, an hour later, he sat down to continue his work his memory was blank. His wonderful dream-poem was thus lost to the world.

MEANT "DIVISION WITH KING"
Royalties" h Old Days SianjHsd Something Altogether Different
 From Meaning Today.

Recipients of royalties from books, patents. mines or any other thing may claim kin with kings, etymologically speaking. at least, for a royalty rep resented originally the kings portion uf the profits of a venture.
 The word entered England from France. and was sometimes called a "soiguorugr." The king of England at ,he time was the actual possessor or all land in the domain, as he is only uominauy today. All mines that were worked, all lands that were tiled. directly or indirectly paid trib- ute to him. He possessed a similar power though less clearly understood, over printing and inventions.
 The payment of a royalty to an author, inventor or other persons to- day is recognition of the ownership of rhe recipient to the basic right in the thing worked or produced. The pub fisher. manufacturer or operator may have. and usually does have, the heavi- uS, investment. but the man who gets the royalty is the man who holds pos session in fee simple, subject to what contracts he may make with those associated with him In the develop meut or distribution of his property.
