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 '

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

!o answor foa It seems that oven
tho best newspapers aro, conscious
Jy or unconsciously, lowering tho
.standards of public llfo and govern

-wltli public mon and public questions
'Catchy' articles must bo got up to
whot tho Jadod appetites of a press
ridden public though virtue and ro
peot for law go to tho dogs. 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.

Stand By the Direct Primary.
Some of the men who are fighting
the Republican nomliiswa In the city

primary nominations for many years.
They wanted this reform in order to

adopted the direct primary plan save

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.
