Because newspaper editors with a proper sense of the proportion of mews occurrences vary the size of their headlines, there is a certain amount of criticism vented by ignorant people. A Rochester editor says: 'The charge of sensationalism, too, is false with respect to the majority of newspapers throughout the country and wholly untrue as applied to the newspapers of Rochester. Conspicuous headlining of news is not- sensationalism when the news warrants it, and it is always bad newspaper policy when it doesn't. "If the news is true and fraught w;ith common and keen interest, why shouldn't it have a prominent heading, as a convenience for the busy reader who lacks time to pick out for himself the new information which is of superior interest? think that newspapers in the main report crimes pretty judiciously, and that the good which conies from this class of news very greatly outweighs the harm. The ostrich buries its head in the sand and foolishly imagines that because it cannot see others, others cannot see it. I do not believe in an ostrich policy in journalism. The basis of progress is knowledge. The newspaper acquaints people with what is going on. It does not design to make crime and only to a smaller extent does its publicity of crime incite more crime. On the other hand, by making crime known it largely deters many from imitating that crime, and it prepares public opinion to consider more intelligently how the crimes that are may bee attended to and how other crimes may be forestalled.

ADVICE FOR THE UNEMPLOYED. Of course if a young man doesn't want to work, if he simply won't work, there is no earthly use to try to help him to find something to do. The loafer will never try to better his condition. He would rather find a warm spot where he can keep his hulk warm, sponge off some one rise, be a nuisance to the community and a thing of disgust to mankind in general, but, if he is at all inclined to be industrious, the Shelbyville News has some good advice when it says: To the young man who is loafing on the streets of Shelbyville, bemoaning what he chooses to term his "fate" and complaining that there is nothing to do, the News has a sugestion to make. Get control of a little patch of ground you can rent it if you cannot buy. Plant it in tomatoes, strawberries or other garden truck, and put in every moment of your time cultivating it. You will find a ready market for your product, and you will be surprised at the profit you will derive. If even half the men who are loafing in Shelbyville today would heed this suggestion there would be the greatest prosperity ever heard of in Shelbyville this summer. And why, shouldn't they do it? The idea is practical and does not require any capital. An independent and comfortable living awaits him who is not afraid to try-

READ THIS TO YOUR. BOY. Doubtless you have heard of "Farmer" Burns, the famous wrestler. you know that Burns does not smoke, chew, drink, swear or use tea or coffee? And do you understand why Burns cuts out all these things? Simply because they stand in the way of his being a strong man. He must have muscles as strong and sup

ple as a tiger's, lungs like a black

smith's bellows, a brain as quick and clear as a lawyer's. Artificial stimulus, whether it la

weak or strong, interferes with right breathing, muscle expansion, pure

blood. It is this way:

Wrestlers, athletes, champions of the

diamond and sawdust ring on the av

erage do not last long, because they get "tough." They forget to be gentle

men. They weaken themselves by toughness, and by and by they are

knocked out.

The man or boy who swears at every

jump of his pulse can't be clean inside.

He swears because he gets tough, and

he gets tough because he swears. The

two go together.

n the sporting world it requires a

strong character to keep from swearing and drinking. He who is too weak in character to overcome these habits

is too weak to last. TOUGHNESS IS WEAKNESS.

To be strong a man must be clean inside and out. To be clean he must

be strong. Do you see?

Now, every fellow who has red

blood in his veins wants to be strong.

13 It not so?

The trouble is that many young men

get the idea that blowing cigarette smoke through the nose or swearing

big oaths helps to make them men

Mistake! Manliness is not toughness.

Toughness is weakness.

This is no Sunday school lesson, this

lesson from "Farmer" Burns, the long

est lived athlete who ever came down the pike. It is simply telling some facts

every decent fellow ought to know.

If you want to be manly and sue

cessfnl be clean, be a gentleman.

The tough boy is sure to grow up to be a weak man. The weakness will

show sooner or later.

Tue clean boy has every chance to

be a strong man.

the Indianapolis Brewering company

for saloon purposes, which lease has two years yet to run, will test the decision recently made by Judge Paulus that all leases expire when a saloon is

voted out of business. He will sua the company, it is stated, and carry

INDIANA HARBOR'S GOOD FORTUNE. The news that Indiana Harbor ma y soon hare three new splendid industries, which are to be located on its new canal, will be hailed with, joy by the people of that city and lovers of the Calumet region. Indiana Harbor during the past year or two, while Gary has been cutting her teeth, has been kept out of the limelight, quite a while, but with the taking of a leading position in the region by Gary, the sister city of Indiana Harbor can now get back in the public eye. She never yet has taken a back seat, but has grown with a steadiness that is at once surprising and commendable. From her natural site on the lake, with unequalled railroad and shipping facilities and with the first canal ir the region, Indiana Harbor will forge to the front. The thousands of new people that are to be brought to Indiana Harbor because, of her acquisition of the three fine industries, will only accentuate the desirability of living in a live city. Indiana Harbor's good fortune will be hailed with joy by her sister cities. "What helps one helps the other. What increases the population and wealth of one city does the same for all of them and knits them all closer together. It brings the day of amalgamation all the nearer.

THE CREAM OF THE Morninii News

A few London suffragettes were sent to jail for thirty days recently. Well, there is more than one way to make some women keep Lent.

THERE WOULD SEEM TO HE ENOUGH WOMEN INTERESTED IN POLITICS TO COMPEL THE AUTHORITIES TO KEEP THE CROSSINGS CLEAN, BUT THKY WOULD PROBABLY FIND LESS REAL ENJOYMENT IN WEARING TRAILING SKIRTS IF THE STREETS WERE CLEAN.

This early spring gag is being worked to death In some hotels, and the janitor has shut down the steam several pounds.

WHAT A HOWL THERE COULD BE! Woman suffrage has run up against an awful snag in Oklahoma. Under the new registration law, all applicants for the ballot must state their ages under oath. From the howl that the women have raised over this new law, it is quite evident that if suffrage is to be made acceptable to those who are seeking it, some of the vigorous requirements hitherto deemed essential will have to be discarded, otherwise the women will decline to vote. Imagine a 48 year old spinster who has passed herself off as 23, stepping up to a rude clerk who asked her age. The contretemps resulting, would certainly furnish interesting matter for the first page of the leading papers in the country.

A COMMENDABLE STEP. The. TIMES, wishes to publicly commend the steps taken by Chief of Police Feter Austgen, in closing up the low dance hall and declaring that he will prosecute any girl under 17 years of age who is found in one of them. It is surprising that this has not been done long ago. If it had perhaps some mother's daughter in this region could have been saved from a life of shame A dance hall where liquors are sold in close proximity, is no place for a girl in her teens and when Chief Austgen succeeds in eradicating the dance

hall evil entirely, he will have done something for which he deserves the

thanks of respectable people.

AT LAST THE Kensington & Eastern people have their franchise after that gallant fang-wolf Mike Melnerny had attempted to kill it. It is such fellows as Alderman Melnerny that make. Chicago councils a by-word and a disgrace. "Stockyards"' Melnerny may be able to do some things, but he certainly cant keep the people of Lake County and the people of Hegewisch

and Burnham from having interurban intercourse wi-.h each other.

PRESIDENT TAFT is said to have demanded the recall of Ambassador White, because that worthy snubbed Mr. and Mrs. Taft, while they, were on their honeymoon. We don't blame the president. A man feels pretty cheap

sometimes when he's on his honeymoon without being snubbed. It is no

fun to get an old shop beehind the ear.

'THIS IS MY" 40TII BIRTHDAY." Frederick W. Hamilton. Frederick. William Hamilton, president of Tufts college, at Medford,

Mass., was born March 30, 1SG0, at Portland, Me., and received his early education in the public schools of that

city. He began his career as a clerk in the offices of the Portland and Og-d'-nsburg railroad. 11 continued at the work nine years and at the same time acquired a, technical education and studied for t!v ministry. ln IS-J'j he

became a c-k-rsyiv.an of th . t'niversalist church and during tl.-o succeeding years he occupied pulpits in various New England cities. He continued in the ministry until 1 0 r, . when he was called to the presidency of Tufts college. Dr. Hamilton, in addition to his educational work, is the author of a number of religious works.
