YELLOW JOURNALISM DEFENDED
Yallow journalism has been preached
against and railed against by many, but
it has its chimpiont. Applause during
regular servica* is not regarded as de
corous. but when Rev.M. A. Matthew ,
a Presbyterian pastor of Seattle, Wash.,
told his congregation what he thought
of yellow journalism as contrasted with
another kind? subsidized journalism?
they mad* the church resound with en
thusiastic applause.
?'I dteltke >ellow journalism," he
said, "but 1 despise subsidiied journal
ism. While the one is undesirable, the
other is detesub'e The yellow dog
can give au iudependent yap end will
Invariably hit out straight from the
khoulder without fear of consequences,
but the poor, miserable, decrepit cur
that is a slave to his advertising pat
ronage and fea's the loss of a little
money is au object so contemptible that
all decent people should shrink from
it." Here Dr. Matthews was obliged
i* pause, for the applause was deafen
iug. 'If only two kinds of newspipers
are to be had, the yellow snd the subsi
dized, let us, for heaven'a sake, take
the yellow."? The American Press.
After a fashion Rev. .Vatthews is cor
rect, but the trouble with Rev. Matth
ews, like with a lot of other people, is
that he does not know where to draw
the line between a newsy and what the
light of specch have been pleased to
class a "yellow" paper. Originally the
term was applied to a Pennsylvania
newspaper that hid printed the details
of a racy divorce proceeding. The
miuis'.er of the town in which the pub
lication occurred denounced the news
paper story of the divorce as being so
"rotten it was yellow with us decay."
The phrase s'ruck a popular chord and
since that time has spread all over the
country. Thve is a whole lot of dif
ference between the paper that prims
the news that comes over the wirts
every day, with due regard to the
young people, and the papert> that
make a practice of dishing out the re
cherche details of scat-dais in high life;
but there are two ways of hitting a
newspaper, at least some people think
there are? One is to say that the paper
na* nothing in it and the o'.her that it
ia "yellow." People who have the
truth to'd about them, or who do not
have enough nice things said of them
in tne paper, use whichever term comes
to them io denouncing the particular
paper which, according to them, has of
fended, hence the iudiscrim'nate u-e and
misuse of the word. In many cases the
old ladies who will not wait uatil tbey
have n?d time to find their glasses to
read the paper with before they l>egin
to fight with th? children for it, are the
very ores who denounce the "yellow"
papers as being unfit to come into fam
ily homes.
A SILENT TRUMPET
Aisxar.dsr Graham Bel!, whose ex
periments promise to give hi.u ai
wonderful a success with the dying
machine as he bad with the telephone
toll', a gocd story at a dinner In Wash
ington recently.
"This story illustrates," he bfgan,
"the necessity for carrying on aero
plane experiment* secret'y. Were
ihey carried on pub'.tcly interference
would ensue. Ignorance always caus
es intsrfe rence. Many years ago an
aged friend <-f mine visited a church
iu Maine one Sucday morning. As
soon as the sermon began, my friend,
who is very deaf, took from hi9 pocket
an ear trumpet in two parts and pro
ceeded to screw the part* together
^ Bile be was engaged in this wori he
noticed that the sext oo, from his s-at
near the pulpit, kept frowning and
shaking bis head at him. Finally, just
as my friend had got his trumpet joined
and made as if to put it to his ear, the
sexton hastened to li m snd whispered
fiercely:
" 'Ye cant play that here: if ye do
I'll put ye out.' "

P?.ckacbe and kidney ache are twin

You can't separate tbem.
And you can't get rid ot the backache
un'il you cure the kidney sche.
If "the kidneys are well and strong,
the rest of the system is pretty sure to
be in vigorous health
Doan's Kidney Pills make strong,
healthy kidneys.
D. E* Dnjcao who resides at the cor
ner of Daane and i)tb sts. Astoria, Ore.,
siys: "I bad been troubled with a weak
ness of the back and kidney* fur a num
ber of years. There was constant dull
ahcingof the loins and a numbness of
the reck, often extending through the
whole muscular sustem a~ far back
as tbe shoulders. Not only did my
back ache but there was a weakness
from the kidney secretions which was
very annoying and disturbed my rest.
I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and
used tbem. 1 found tbem to be a great
benefit, After the first few doses I felt
better. I kno* of others who have
used them with tbe same good results.''
