AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
NEWSPAPER IDEALS
Every newspaper publisher
and editor wants his newspap
er to be the best it is possible
to issue. The difficulty is in
the difference of opinion as to
what constitutes the best news
paper. An editor asked his
readers how he could make
his paper ideal, with this re
sult:
Cut out the crimes, the mur
der, the sensational divorce
case reports,” said the nice
people.
“Cut out the accidents, the
railway and steamship disast
ers,” said the people who
“couldn’t bear” to read such
things.
“Cut out the politics,” said the
old-fashioned woman, “I don’t
understand it and haven’t
time for it.”
“Cut out the so-called funny
pictures,” said the careful
mother. “Such pictures aren’t
funny, and they’re bad, very
bad, for children.”
‘Cut out the ponderous edi
torials,” snapped the man who
merely scans the headlines.
“Nobody reads ’em nowa
days.”
“Cut out the woman’s page,”
said the female with the
strong mind. “Its mush, trashy,
trivial; an insult to our sex.”
“Cut out sports and theaters,”
said the intellectual. “Both are
bad influences, and both have
received altogether too much
notice.”
“Cut out-.’’began another
and still another, but the
publisher beat them to it.
‘Stop, all of you,” he cried.
“On second thought I have de
cided to cut out myself. It is
no use trying to publish the
ideal newspaper until I havt
come across the ideal reader.”
Without readers no newspap
er can live, and until humanity
has come to live an ideal life
there will be no ideal news
paper; for no one would read
one that spoke only of virtue
and never of evil. Newspapers
'are published to print the
news; the nature of news is
what people make it.—Strol
ler’s Weekly.

SPRING AND OTHER
THINGS
Despite the prophecy of some
scientific sharps that there
will be no summer this
year, and also in spite of the
somewhat chilly nights and
the hoary mantle covering
the surrounding heights, evi
deces are plentiful that the
wondrous spring of the North
land is at hand once more.
But before we speak of spring
itself, we wish to say that
spring fever, which is going
to be quite common during
the next month or two, is nov
explaned in the same way bj
all the psychologists and
physicians. But, without re
gard to what these learned
folk say, the people who get
it will heartily agree that it is
a very real and not exactly an
unpleasant thing.
Some writers tell us that it
is nothing but a lethargic
drowsiness, caused by the
poisons accumulated during |
the physical inaction of win- j
ter. We can help nature to
eliminate these poisons by
taking long wralks, breathing j
deeply of the fragrant spring |
air, or starting to hoe a gar
den. There is reason to be
lieve, however, that spring
fever is not entirely physical.
There is a good deal of the
psychic in it, also. It is partly
psychic insofar as it is a re
action from winter.. The con
trast between the first warm
weather and the cold of win
ter unconsciousy reminds us
of the sluggishness of the
tropics, home of our prehistor
ic ancestors. Or perhaps spring
fever is an inheritance from
the times when the cave man,
after a long and monotonous
winter in his den, strolled oih.
to bask lazily in the warm
spring sunlight.
Agreeable as the gentle
lassitude of spring fever often
is, we must not surrender our
selves to it too readily, for
there is more work to be dont
in spring than perhaps in an>
other season. The man who
abandons himself to spring
fever will not do his share ot
it.
With this warning empha
sized, permit us to observe
that the delights of spring
cannot easily be exaggerated.
It is then that sap starts ris
ing .in the trees. Grass sprouts
are green. Plant life buds.
Chirping birds pause on their
way north. The bear leaves
his pit .The wolves stop run
ning in packs and mate. That
is spring—the sunrise of a new
period of life.
Spring is the time to take a
new lease on life, (to get a
fresh start. Fill your lungs
with fresh air and go to it.
The best thing about spring
is that it is a prelude to an
other round of intense human
actvity. Except, of course, for '
the gentleman who has spring |
fever 365 days of the year.
