Newcomer in Sunday Journulism

IT HE SUNDAY SENTINEL is newcomer
in the Southern field of newspapcrdom.
Its habitat is Knoxville, Tenn, and It's mis-
sion. as it succinctly sets forth in its initial
issue, is to ''serve as the exponent of the
best interests of Knoxville and the entire
section contiguous thereto in undertake
ing that self-imposed task il is merely en-
lnrging upon the work which the Knoxville
Sentinel, of which 1t is the Sunday issue.
has boon performing SO admirably and eff
fcicntly for many years. The Sunday edi-,
ton starts with list Of $4,000 subscribers
and with that as nucleus ii gives rare
promise OF becoming, if it has not already
become, one OF that group of Sunday jour
nails which are doing yeoman service to the
South, not alone in presenting to it the news
OF the world promptly and accurately, and
in the companion field of features and spe-
cial articles, but III advancing its industrial
and commercial interests.
Judged by its early issues, the Sunday
Sentinel purposes to omit nothing that is
essential to the wel-bahnced. modern
metropolitan newspaper. 1t has equipped
itself with three Of the recognized press as
ISOLATION wires; it is going in for comics
and other popular features and with Il staff
encrgized to the presentation OF the news
and needs of its local field, it is prepared to
render TO its readers and advertisers all that
can be demanded of progressive Sunday
newspaper.
The Times Dispatch welcomes the Senti-
mel into the Sunday field. felicitates it upon
It's suspicious birth. and predicts for ii
notable career of prosperity to itself and of
service TO its patrons. But The Times-Dis-
patch, in Justice 10 itself and it's advertisers,
cannot overlook one assertion in the Senti-
nel's Introductory editorial. 1t there takes
'pardonable pride" In the fact that it's adj
yertising lis sold at from 2 y to 4 cents
per inch per 1000 of circulation, the rate
depending upon the size OF the contract and
frequency of insertion" The Sentinel is en-
trely justified in priding itself on its abi-
ity to deliver advertising service at so low
charge. Advertising today is one of the
vital elements in our distribution plan, and
an eXorbitant advertising rate can act as IA
brake in business as surely as does the pres
cnt high freight rate condition. Advertising
Facilities are as vital TO successful city as
are its other means OF comma nication, and
the service The Sentinel is rendering Knox
vile is real service. An exception to its
assertion however, is found in The Sunday
Iimes-D Dispatch. Published in a city larger
than Knoxville, and with a circulation an
nroximately twice great, The Times Dis
patch serves its advertisers at a minimum
rate of , cents per inch per 1000, or at a
charge 20 per cent less. So The Times Dis
Patch also takes pardonable pride in its
ability To render advertising service and in
wishing the Sentinel long and successful
career, calls it's attention to its Virginia
rival.

Sir.--In connection with the visit or
Marshal Foch and his aid. Count tie
Chambrun--a great grandson Of La
fayette-the following incident Is
worthy OF reproduction
cit was on tho ship Brandywinc
that Lafayette returned to France
after his visit to the United states.
II was on this ship that Midshipman
Matthew Fontairc Maury began mis-
nautical career. There were twenty
seven midshipmen on board. 1t was
not noticed that when others were at
amuscmcnts Maury was ut the miz-
Zcntop studying scamanship. Then
he made his mark among his fellows
and gained their entire respect by his
study and studious habits. The
monthly pay OF these cadets was $40.
They assembled and resolved tn APP
rropriatc one months pay for tcsti-
mcnial OF their regard for the noble
soldier who had helped to win the in
dependence Of their country. Maury
was selected one OF the committee to
secure the silver urn. suitably in
scribed. and to present il to the old
hero. This gift was the gift OF youth
10 manhood. IT was an offering from
glad hearts on tho altar of patriotism.
touching tribute from the young
sailors to General Lafayette, and IL
was most highly appreciated by him"
The foregoing Is an extract from a
speech made by Hon. William a.
Anderson, formerly Attorney General
OF Virginia. on tho presentation of n
portrait OF Maury for Lee Camp, Con-
fcderatc Veterans, on February %,
1905. The said portrait was given by
tho late John l.. Williams. great
citizen of Richmond. and whose good
works in this city attest love for his
state and his country.

Shantmng ana The Versailles Pact

It HERE is more than ordinary sirnif-
canoe III the announcement that Japan
has agreed TO disregard the Shantunr pro-
visions of the treaty of Versailles in the dis
cussions now going on with China Hitherto.
Japan has been immovable in its insistcnce
that TIE treaty of Versailles dealt with and
settled the Shantung question and that any
future consideration of this subject would
have to be guided by the decision thus SOL
emily reached
Announcement to the above effect was
made in the following statement given TO
the press: 1T was agreed on the part of
the two delegations that in discussing the
Shahtung question they would take the
actual iacts and not the academic view
points as the basis of discussion. which will
nc tor me sole purpose OF promoting mutual
understanding and good neighborhood be-
tween China and Japan, and without giving
ground for the least inference that the dis
cussion vii! he based on the treaty arrange
ments which have been in dispute between
these two countries or others"
The versailles pact, however, is not the
ohly treaty which is to be disregarded in
tue presen, discussion between the jana
nese and Chinese delegations. The dele
gates also agree to disregard the secret en-
gasements which were entered into early in
italy and Russia, by which these nations
gave the japanese an assurance that they
would support Japans claims i'm regard IN
Inc disposal of Germanys rights i'm Shan
tung and her possessions in the islands north
o. the equator. when the time came for

with these concessions on the part of
Japan, the outlook for the two countries to
reach a satisfactory adjustment on all is
sues in controversy between them is dis
tncty encouraging. NlanifestIy. il would
be tremendously TO Japan's interest IN no
liberal in conredng claims which clearly
involve Chinas territorial integrity. with
all cause OF misunderstanding between tho
Two nations eliminated, their geographical

The Judgment.

They've got me all twisted with doubt
My souls in terrible fix;
lin trying to think what it all is about,
And save something out OF the mix!
A decade ago certain things were thought low,
+Ald others were thought TO be high
Now cverythngs changed. you really don't

You shouldn't do this thing or that,
And these others good heavens! you should!
