EDITORIAL PAGE
James K-.eley, managing editor or
the Chicago Tribune, la one of thv
greatest olitors In the world ? he be
lle\es just ;i? ue do. He can tell
Just what a newspaper should be, ev
en us you and 1 can tell. But, like
the million.-, of attempts at perpet
ual motion, the blamed things won't
run according to our most delicate
calculations. We start out to sup
port the causes of justice, and Injus
tice steps In and pulls out its adver
tising. We attempt to protect the
independent merchant, and the com
binations break us through political
and organized opposition. We sup
1 jrt the combinations. and the lnile
dependents send elsewhere for their
printing. We side with the preach
ers and S-t our pay In aiding the
prosperity of the heathen children
in some forvign lund. We support a
liquor license and the temperance
people stop their subscriptions.
? Keeley has lgured out Just what
au Id' al newspai er should be, but
he s.iys no one has ever produced
o.it. This Is his estimate:
he big development of the mod
ern newspaper will be along lines
o" personal service. The newspaper
that not only Informs und Instructs
Its readers but is of service Is the
Oae that commands attention, gets
circulation, and also holds Its read
ers after it gets them. The news
paper must be of sorvlce today, not
only In politics and morals ? not on
ly as It has been in the past In
fighting the battles of the people
asalnst tyrants and In holding the'n
la check when they have been tempM
cd to revenge outrages, but It muft
be of social service. It must uot
only plead with the people to swat
the crook but must also urge them
to swat the fly. It must not only
he!>. In the fighting for a clean city
but must aid the clergy^nd others
in the fight for a clean home. It
must not only teach patriotism but
must show the folly of the annual
cunacn ou Jul-.- 4 ? a slaughter
doubly horrible because It Is done In
the n.ime of patriotism. It must en
tor . ato the everyday life of Its read
ers and, like the parish priest, b*~
guide, tuuselor, and friend. I have
oTton thought that a newspaper can
mist closely realize its real mission
the nearer It comes to attaining th?
Ideals ot the parish priest and the
clergym >n in his ministrations to
his flock. And the newspaper's
flock Is often numbered In the hun
MATRIMONY.
Some women la marrying de
mand all and give alf. With good
men they are bnppy: with base
men thev are the broken heart
ed. Some demand everything
and give little. With weak men
they are tyrants; with strong
men they are the divorced Some
demand little and give all. With
congenial souis they are already
In heaven: with uncongenial*
they are soon in their graves.
Some demand little and give lit- ?
tie. They ore the" heartless. and
bring neither the Joy of life nor
the peace of death.? James Lane
Allen.

"Patience is a virtue." said the man,
philosophically.
"True." replied his wife, who thought
he ought to be earning more money

A viewless thing Is the wind,
Bot Its strength Is mightier far
Than a phalanxed bost In battle
Than the limbs of a Samson
And a viewless thing Is love.

wild strength above.
For she conquers shame and

my feet are guided, and that Is
the lamp of experience. 1 know

Is life so dear or peace so
sweet as to' be purchased at tbe
price of chains and slavery?
Forbid It. Almighty God! I know
not what course others may take;

give me death!? Patrick Henry.
THE HARVEST.

Ye shepherds now prepare your

To grei.-t tbe soft appearance of

Then raise, ye shepherds, yonr
observant strain
That so of tbe great Shepherd
here are blest
Our fields are full with the time
ripened grain.
Oor vineyards with the purple
clusters swell.
Her golden splendor glimmers on
the main.
And vales and mountains her
bright glory tell
Then sing, ye shepherds, for the
time Is come
When we must bring tbe enrich
ed harvest home.
