" The writer belelvea the independent newnpaper to he "the moat vital iu- : Btrument that democratic society can produce for its own advancement and protection, ' and conclude; ( j "It U my h-po, my ambition, that the independent newspapers of the United States bhall become, as the years roll on, more and mote truly apostles of an industrious peace, not , only for the sake of the highest and i best development of this nation, both spiritually and materially, but for the i advancement of liberty, justice and j enlightened democratic government throughout the world " THE MAN OF WORDS Br RUDYARD KIPLING I I The Independent Newspaper Although tbo greut American news papers have aeheived, through the devclopoiiinut of their news sorvice, a practical political iudepoudeuce, the the old politicul thraldom has been succeeded by a commercial thraldom more insidious and more dangerous to the welfare of society. This Btrik lug statement is made by Samuel Bowles, liimiolf proprietor of the Springfield Republican, one of the leading independent papers of Amer ica, in tin illuminating article in The North Amtriciin lloviow, it has come to pass, ho f ells in, that a party or gan of the old-fashioned type cau not be sueuosafu'ly maintained, lint in stead we have "the cheap newspape" of many pages, selling often at whole sale for loss than the cost of the paper on which it is printed,' dud dom inated by the advertiser, "who pays ull the other heavy o.xpon.sos and tho profit." Under these conditions tho motto of an old Salem newspaper, "Hero shiil1 tho Prosa tho People's cause maintain, Uuuwed by iulUiu.ico and unbrlbed by Uiil.t," might Boom a onniiHtil of unattainable perfection. Nevertheless, asserts Mr. Bowles, tho press today not only Btands for tho rights and interests of the people, but on the whole, "repre sents them more efficiently than ever before." It does this by its daily presentation of eneh day's history ' of the whole world, Thus, as Mr. Bowles goes on to say: "Even the ourropt aud dependent press Is vompolled to publish the news. It oauuot. hope to exist if it falls to do so, Tho possession of the news, tho knowledge of the world's dully life, thought, movement, consti tutes the most effective weapon foi the protection of society. Justice and truth flourish la the light of public ity. Iniquity and wrong dread it and are ultimately cured by the Influence which flows from its illuminating rays." The modern editorial pago, more over, lias become "a most Important part of the news-giving mechanism of the press," Its timet Ion being "to Il luminate, to suggest, In inform, to exposo, rather than to persundo or denounce." Although uiHiiita'.nliig that tho press as a whole serves the poople ofllcleutly, Mr. lluwlca Is u li able to make ooitalu "yellow" jour nals "compose" liarmou loudly in his optimistic general survey. We read: "When tho individual citizen neg lects his elviu duties, the couiuiuiitly' aud state stiller; but when the news paper, with Its exceptional fnciltiies fur influence, Is derelict or prosti tutes Its powers, the cflt Is far rcaehHg and mouieutuous. It is ub viously (ho pretense of every news paper, seeking public support, that it htm. U fur the public enlightenment a:il welfare. Even though It have no editorial opinions to express, ami be simply au organ of Information, It professes to publish things that are true aud to bo so far an honest servant of those who buy It. It is, then, a national mis fortune that so large a section of the American press, under the operation of commercial influences, has been led into the adoption of methods aud practices which are essentially dishon Ht. I refer especially to the exagver ntiont nl misrepresentations which characterize the so railed 'yellow press.' The predominent toue of this of yurtml Is a painful and dis tressing scream which manifests itself in dreadful typographical effects, an.l At present the Aiu.-riruu railroads are divided into a small number of groups, such as the Vauderbilts, the Hills aud so on. If the Union Pacific and tho Milwaukee combine, the total mileage will be in still fewer hands. One combination brings about an other. There may yet bo a close al liance between the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific and the t ana dian Pacific to bold in check the Har-rimau-Milwuukie alliance, which will control all Pacific lines south of the Columbia river, the Atchison, Tope ka & Santa Fo being ouly nominally independent. This from the Sulem Journal s a body blow straight from the shoulder: It is noticeable that Mayor Lane Hub very harshly and arbitrarily made the financiers in charge of the relief funds for the San Francisco sufferers dig up the liibt remaining fifty thous and aud send it forward. That is the first time a fund of that kind has over all gone whore it wag intended, and there is talk of removing Poit luud's cranky mayor from office. When Samuel Bowles, the brilluiut editor of the Spriuglleld Bepublicau, eulogizes independent newspapers, he does not liavo in mind tho vapid, colorless stieets, afraid to express au honest opinion, or take a stand for their couceptoiu of whut Is right up on a question of public moment. Such publications fulfill no mission aud are entitled to no eousldeibtiou or respect from auy source whatever. It appears that New York capitalists lmv6 formed tho American Farm Pro ducts Company, which looks very like a trust. It is to take chickens, choos,o, milk aud eggs under its care. This business la rather too much dis tributed 'Or any trust to control. Alfred Belt, the South Afr'can mil lionaire, has bequeutahd milliona to educational institutions. His career was similar in many respects to that of Cecil Rhodes and the dispositoiu of bis vust estate is along the sumo lines. Llston to this from the Albany Democrat: "Several years ago Salem had u new railroad for breakfast evory day. Now it's Eugene. Hut so far Albany has tho goods." Watch Al bany blow I The Russian government has notifi ed all sti ikers to go to work by a cer tain date or bo exiled to Siberia. Wouldn't that jar a walking delegate!

Luiio county booze no doubt has the exhilemting elt'ect of old, even If it should be labeied as soda pop or gin ger ale.

ITERE is an ancient legend which tells us that when the first man achieved the first nolile deed lie wklied to explain to his tribe what he had done, but as soon as he began to speak he was smitten with dumbness, ho lacked words, and sat . down. Then arose according to tho story a "inaster esa" man who had taken no part in action, no special virtues and was "afflicted" that ia the phrase with the mngic of the necessary words. Ho spoke, ho explained the action to tho tribe in such a fashion that wo are assured that the words "became alive and WALKED UP AND DOWN IN THE HEARTS OF ALL HIS HEARERS." Thereupon the tribe, seeing that the words were alive, and fearing that tho man with tho words might be telling untrue words to their children, arose and killed him. But later they saw that the magic waa in the words and not in the man. We have progressed in many direc tions since tho time of this early and destructive criticism, but so far we do not seem to have found a suflicient substitute for tho man with the necessary words as the final record to which all achievement must look. Even today those who have done a thing must wait until all has been said BY THE MASTERLESS MAN WITH THE WORDS. X K X It is certain that the overwhelming bulk of these words will perish in tho future as they have perished in the past. It is certain, too that some few of these words will live, and by those words only will our children be able to judge of the phases of our generations. Now we de sire beyond all, tilings to stand well with our children. But when our story comes to bo told we do not know WHO will tell it. There are many tellers, and they aro all talking together. If anything short of undisputed and distilled truth be handed down how shall our achievements profit us? Tho record of our tribe is just its enduring literature. The magic of literature lies IN THE WORDS and not in any man. Witness, a thousand excellent strenu ous words can leave us quite cold or put us to sleep, while a bare half hundred words breathed by some man in his agony or in his exultation or in his idleness GENERATIONS AGO can still lead whole na tions into captivity, can still open to.us the doors of three worlds, can still stir us so intolerably that wo can scarcely bear the look of our souls. It is a miracle and one that happens very seldom, but each mas terlcss man with the words is Imping, or has had hopes, that the miracle may be repeated again through him. And why not ? If n tinker in Bedford jail, if a pamphleteer shop keeping iu London, if a condemned French thief or an English admiral can bo the medium for making necessary words, why not ANY MAN AT ANY TIME? And our work, which is only concerned hi the perpetuation of the record, sanctions that hope as kindly and just as cruelly as naturo sanctions love. It suggests that the man with the words shall wait upon the man of achievement and stop by step with him try to tell to the tribe. All it demands is that tho magic of every word shall be TRIED OUT TO THE UTMOST BY EVERY MEANS, fair and foul, that the mind of man can suggest. Thoro is no room for pity, mercy or respect, for fear, or even for legality, between man and his fellow man when the record of the tribe comes to be written. That record must satisfy the keenest and deepest SELF KNOWLEDGE of the present and satisfy also the shameless curiosity of the future. WHEN IT HAS DONE THIS IT IS LITERATURE, OF WHICH LITERATURE IT WILL BE 8AID IN DUE TIME THAT IT FITLY REPRESENTS ITS AGE. I SAY IN DUE TIME, BECAUSE AGE 8. LIKE INDIVIDUALS, DO NOT ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE MERITS .OF A RECORD THAT PURPORTS TO REPRESENT THEM. I H poem for Coday ! THE RIVER.
