"OUR THE IXAILY JOURNAL. SALDM, 0REOON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, IMS. B'1 ; EDITOR . LAWYER Treacher Claim That Former Has Displaced Latter 8ut His Pen Must Be Wielded by a Hand That Is Not Controlled by a Ma chine or Ring i From tho Tillamook Headlight.) Mr. D. L. Eddy read a paper be loro " tho Bar Association In Port Hand last week, his subject being, "Tho Lawyer as a citizen." Ho Is re 'ported to have said: "There can be no doubt that the newspaper Is now largely Ailing the ' them; thoso of tho revlvahordery low er religion sontiment by their tar ings, thoir emotions and their pecu liar! t loo of getting religion tip to a white heat for a few weeks and then allowing It to drop down to zero. This Is one reason that Bomo preach ers nro no longer leaders. As to newspapers filling the place of lead ership formerly filled by lawyers, that Is no surprise when one con siders the rapid strides of tho print ing press tho past thirty years and the facllltios which nowoilst for gathering news and distributing In foimatlon. Lawyors continue to go on the stump at political elections and endeavor to hold their own, but thoir speeches nro uninteresting and fall flat because a largo proportion of their hearers havo already read and discussed it in tho nowspapers. The lawyers are back numbers In this respect, for thoy havo no facilities for reaching the car of the public only on special occasions. No one need bo surprised that tho newspapor has dis placed the lawyer as a leader, nor at tho Influence tho newspapers have upon tho public mind when they see the great domand for the dally and weekly newspapers. Dut still for all .that thero are preachers who will A WONDERFUL MEDlfafe.

Por Imps no man has over attempted to -sorve tho public in a conspicuous sphere slnco nowspapers obtained thoir vogue without suffering cither undue and unmerited exaltation or ihe grouseHt mlsroprosontatlon as to 'tils history, his character and his pur pose. Generally his most virtuous intentions aro sneered at, his weak nesses and mlstakos magnified and mado ridiculous, and if ho makes a stand far vlrtuo and decency ho may expect that a spicy paragraphor will wrlto him down a hypocrite, or a olovor caricature will plcturo him as a long-haired sanctimonious Puritan for tho edification of tho groundlings " It Is true as Mr. Eddy says, that tho nowspapors havo takon tho placc or leadership formerly hold by the preacher and tho lawyer, yet for all that tho Influonce of the prois, al though great, Is not so powerful as most pooplo Imagine, for tho reason that tho gunoral public reads both sides of tho question and thoroby forms Its own opinions. Wo admit that a large number of nowspapors nro Inlluontlnl In moulding public opinion. If the preacher has lost tho leadership. It Is because his voice Is not heard outside his own church and his Influence In tho community Is not felt. Preachers t-oiuo and thoy go In a community, and some of carno3tncss in thoir work. Tho same can bo said of somo lawyers. Also, of somo nowspapors, tho personality of tho editor givea tho newspaper In fluence and It becomes a leader, often unconsciously, In dictating public policy. Thero are preachers, lawyers and newspapors with llttlo or no In fluence. That can bo seen in overy community. It is, however, a mis taken idea that some mon havo, that if thoy can control tho editorial, col umns of a newspaper, they will -be able to hilluonco tho public mind. It may havo boen so In past years, but not so today, for newspapor opinions are moro sevorly crltloised now than thoy over woro boforo. Thoro Is no doubt, howovor, that newspapers have become leaders, displacing tho prcachor and tho law yor, becauso recent Inventions have mado It possible for tho press to reach tho public ear overy day of tho year. Tho pon In tho hands of a conscientious and fearless editor Is a good thing for tho community and has Its Influence, provided tho man behind tho pen has onough character and grit not to bo controlled by any person or ring.

Some of the men who are fighting the Republican nomliiswa In the city raiupttlge have been advocating direct primary nominations for many years. They wanted this reform in order to abolish ring rule. The RemblUaiu adopted the direct primary plan save eery Republican a chance, set aside the ring, and ttonilaatexl a ilean tick et, coutpoeed of men who are not un der obligations to any clique of nit a for their nomination. Not one of the agitators of the CitiMtw' ring has had a word to say against any of the Re publican noatlRGea. or against the manner In which they were choeen. Yet taeee pretended advocates of re form ask the Republicans of Salenl to play traitor to their ticket, and put their dUauproYnl upon clean political methods New York, Dae. S, Walking Del gate McCarthy, who was Jointly in- 1 dieted with Parks, was today found! Fresh Water in Salt Lake .Part of tho Great Salt Lake Is be ing turned from salt water into fresh water, Tills -Is tho curious phenom enon Southern Pacific officials are now engaged in studying, a report on which Is to be mado to Mr. Hard man. The lake, has two northern arms. They are separated by a pe nlnsuln, which extends into the lake a number of miles, and Is a series of foothills to the promontory moun tains. Across the eostorn arm of tho lako tho Ogden and Lucia cutoff runs sev en miles, and 18 miles across the western arm'. An opening was loft in order to permit tho large volume of water from tho Dear river, which flows Into the eastern arm from- tho north, to get into tho lako proper. Tho railroad embankment has been In place more than a year, and the flow of water rom the Dear river during Uiat tima has forced Into the lake proper a greater part of the salt water In tho eastern arm. The result is a decrease of more than 50 por cent in tho salty chnracter of tho water In that arm of the lako The current of water from tho eastorn arm Into the main body of the lake Is swiftly and always in that one di rection. This accounts, in the opin ion of tho railroad people, for tho quick way In which tho stream from the river is forcing much of tho salt water out of the eastern arm. At the progress now being mado they will not be surprised if all tho water In tho eastern arm will bo fresh in a year.
