The Old Sun
SHADES of departed youth I
New York Sun waa nlaceri
morning, consisting of over 100 pages and weighing at least
four pounds. It would take a month to read it, but an hour's
perusal is sufficient to remove all doubt that the New York Sun
has greatly changed.
IT was about 30 years ago that we first became a regular
reader of the New York Sun. The present writer was a cub
reporter on a rival New York newspaper, and at that time the
Sun was something to shoot at. It was both, the newspaper
man's bible and his manunl-at-arms. Every reporter in New
York read it first and read it through, and if be were at all
ambitious, wished he might, at some time, be working for it.
But getting a job on the Sun was like getting "tapped" at
New Haven. Only the chosen few could make it.
If one made it, however, as far as the newspaper world was(
concerned, ho was MADE. He was not only better paid, but
be belonged to the journalistio nobility, he couldn't go into
Herman's for lunch, without some pencil pusher, nudging
another and whisperings "There goes Blauk of the SUN1"
THAT was enough. The boys on the Sun were the chosen
nrrr1r nil the othpr nAwsnaner men pnvierl Anrl looked nn
to them. For at that time the New York Sun was the news
paperman's newspaper, and in our judgment the best news
paper that this country or any other country, has ever seen.
Charles A. Dana, its noted editor, was no longer at the helm,
but his spirit was marching on. This spirit gave the Sun a
style and distinction, that no other newspaper possessed. It
was "different" different editorially, "different" in the way
it handled the news, "different" all down the lino. It hadn't
a common place, routine touch, anywhere, from the front page
to- the last, Every contribution was literature journalistic
literature, but literature nevertheless. It was creative,
individual, possessed at all times that indefinable something
which combines charm and style.
A ND yet it was never highbrow. In fact it was burrowing
- like a mole in the grass roots of old Manhattan all the
time. - It got the news and often got it first. It originated the
modern human interest story, and as for humor, for real
unforced, native humor, nothing in American journalism has
ever approached the Sun. '
Humor in fact, usually somewhat ironical, always subtle
rather than broad, was perhaps
of the old Sun. There were smiles for the discerning reader,
scattered all through it, not excluding the editorial page. Dana
was essentially a crusader, with a punch in either hand, and
could peel the hide off stuffed shirts or apostles of crookedness
and corruption, as no other Now York editor could ; but he did
it with a SMILE. He never took himself or his crusade TOO
seriously. He was effective but
much of the newpaper's charm,
In short the old Sun not only
ism, but in our opinion, reached
type ever attained.
llHAT does the present Sun represent? 'Well judging by
this Centennial number alone, it represents impersonal
journalism, modern atandumed
meohanically and typographically correct, but with no more
originality, individuality or distinction, than a carload of pig
iron. Ita editorial page, treating the centennial historically,
might have been clipped 'from
Its news stories, are just thatnd nothing more news stories,
of the most conventional stereotyped, routine sort. Not a spark
or sparkle in a ton of them. Just the drab, uninspired day's
work. The Sun in 30 years has deteriorated from beinu the
best newspaper in tho United
worst.
lOT because it hasn't kept that Dana spirit or style alive.
No modern city newspaper could keep it alive. With speed
the dominating factor, with many editions required, with the
American people particularly
exclusively in comics, photogravures and headlines, Charles
A. Dana if alive today, could no more run a successful news
paper, than ex-rresident Hoover could successfully run a night
club.
But he could, we feel sure, run a BETTER newspaper than
the present New York Sun is. For aa the Kansas City Star
demonstrates in this country, and the Manchester Cuardinn in
England, journalistic individuality and distinction, still have a
place in the modern newspaper field. The time and care spent
on getting out the old Morning Sun can't be allowed, but suffici
ent time and care also intelligence and determination can be
spent to get out a city daily, that is something more than so
many pounds of ink and newsprint.
The particular field which Dana's Sun occupied however,
has gone, never to return along with the stage coach, beaver
hats and gold headed canes. The Dana genius has been' trans
ferred to the weekly field, and we might add in "conclusion
(although it 'a an ad for which we will never be paid) that the
nearest approach to Danaism today, is achieved by that bright,
newsy and individual periodical called "Time",

ARSENIC IS LIKE F LEAS ON THE D0O .
A wee bit of arsenic la normally
present In the body. A trace of arse
nic Is constantly excreted tlirougi
the kidneys. Prob
ity a minute quan
tity of arsenic In
one form or an
other la essential
in human nutri
tion. It resembles
fleas on a dog, aa
Josh Bt I lings re
garded that prob
lem. But when a
little too much ar
senic gets into the
system it causes
bizarre eft sots.
Here arc some of the manifestations
of chronic arsenic poisoning.
Neuritis (not the mere vague ache
that so many wiseacres like to call
neurlUs, but the real tllng), recur
lng on intractable cl ironic eczema or
similar skin trouble, red Injected
eyelid linings and pufflness of the
eyclldi, Inexplicable numbness or
pares! (weskness) of arm or leg or
tfome muscular group, a constant mild
coryzn, a constant slight hoarseness,
vague digestive disturbances.' gastric
distress and colicky pains, ft peculiar
waxy pallor, perhaps an onion or
garlic odor about the skin, sweat or
breath.
In several cases on record It has
seemed that ehronlc arsenic poison
ing wan the cause of Raynaud's affec
tion "dead lingers." At any rate,
the victims found lasting relief from
the attacks after they were removed
from the arsenical environment or
received proper treatment for arsenic
poisoning.
An unconsidered source of chronic
arsenic poisoning la the otherwise
healthful and commendable practice
of eating fresh fruit skins and all.
ar eating berries, chen-les, grapes, etc.,
without careful washing. The objec
tion la that such fruit may carry
considerable quantities of arsenic
that haa been recently applied In
some insecticide spray. Tbla might
not be of any significance In the
case of occasional indulgence In such
fresh fruit, but it la of Importance
where one Is In the habit of eating
an apple a day or anything like that.
Keep right on eating plenty of apples,
cherries, berries or what have you.
but see that they are thoroly washed
before you eat them. Of course, mere
washing with water may not remove
all the arsenic If any Is present. But
It certainly helps, and personally, I
don't worry much about either arsen
ic poisoning or the Ingestion of in
sect eggs If -I have washed the apple
with soap and water and rinsed It
well before I sink my teeth in It.
t Since there Is a wee bit of arsenic
normally excreted In the urine, It
would not do to decide that a pa
