"IN' HIS STEPS"

Eer. Charles 31. Sheldon's Beyolution of a Kansas Newspaper. WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? The Question Applied to the Conduct of Departments on the Topeka Daily Capital. Initial Issue of the Reformer's Pa per Shows Many Notable Departures In Presentation of Xews. Topeka, March IS. The "mala par pose of the paper will be to influence lis readers to seek first the kingdom of God." Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, who yesterday assumed editorial and bus! neaa control of The Dally Capital. f-which ha will retain all this week. made this announcement In his edi torial leads outlining his policy this morning. The Capital during thia time will be "a newspaper," the word "news' be ing defined by Mr. Sheldon as any thing in the way of current events that the public ought to know for It. moral and spiritual development. The paper is absolutely non-partisan and partisai jndi Jcal news has been given scant notice. All editor. als and im portant local matter Is signed by the writers. There will be no Sunday pa per, but instead a Saturday evening paper suitable for Sunday reading. "May God bless the use of thia paper to the glory of bis kingdom on earth, aays Rev. Sheldon, in concluding his leader. The first item on tue first page thia morning was a prayer written by Bishop John A. Vincent of the Meth odist Episcopal church. It Is as fol lows: A morning prayer and resolution: will try this day to live a simple, sin;ere, serene life; repelling every thought of discontent, self-seeking and anxiety; cultivating magnanimity, selfcontrol and the habit of silence; prac ticing economy, cheerfulness and help fulness. And as I cannot in my own strength do this, or even with a hope of success, attempt It, I look to thee, Oh Lord, my Father In Jesus Christ, my Savior, and ask for the gift of the Holy Spirit," A page is devoted to local news, and the leading features this morning were reports of a temperance revival and an anti-cigarette meeting. Mr. Shel don has Instructed his police reporter that in case of a murder or othercrlme to write a bare statement of the facts If he has the apace to spar. Instead of filling it op with the details, he wir go into a discussion of the cause lead ing np to the crnte " . Pnrtnjr the.staT conference the sporting editor remark ed that there would b a bowling contest at the T. M. C. A. rooms last night. "1 think." said Mr. Sheldon "that that Is good, clean sport. Yon may print it." When the dramatlr editor asked for Instructions aboui theaters, "We shall not want anythin;; of that kind." Mr. Sheldon said, and there is no theatrical column in the paper today. One page is given up tc telegraph news, which ordinarily occupies about three times that space. The Associated Press report was necessarily "blue penciled" with a vengeance. The market reports have been cut from four columns to one. All quotations on stocks and bonds, giv ing options and other matter involving transactions In futures were consign ed to the waste basket, and only the actual cash prices of grain, products, etc.. are quoted. A notable feature of the paper Is the method of handling advertisements. They have been banished from th news and editorial pages, and are bunched In places reserved for them. The censorship apparent here Is even more rigorous than In the news columns, and a large quantity of this class of matter has been cut out, in cluding all advertisements relating to patent medicines. The familiar corset advertisements of the magazines, ac companied by cuts, are nowhere pres ent In Mr. Sheldon's paper, and no re tail advertisements from Kansas City or other out of town tradesmen have been accepted. Mr. Sheldon holding that this would be an injustice to home merchants. The $'JO suit of clothes for $14.75 style of advertising is also conspicuously absent. The Capital appeared with a radical change in style and make-up. Practically the only feature that is familiar to its regular readers is the title headline. The first page, for instance, or dinarily devoted exclusively to telegraph news, has not a line of the cur rent news of the day. Instead, the page Is given up to discussions on what Mr. Sheldon considers the most Important questions now lefore th world. There are four leading articles on this page, the first being devoted to the famine In India, under these head lines and the following Introduction: "STARVING INDIA." Fifty Million Feople Affected by the Famine. Conditions Growing Worse Instead of Better The Urgent Need of Aid From Christian America. The Capital knows of no more im portant matter of news the world over this morning than the pitiable condition of famine-stricken India. We give the latest available Information of the progress of the story in the following articles: Here follows statements from Rev. J. E. Abott of the Bombay mission tnd Lard Curxon, viceroy of India. "Militarism" la discussed to the extent of about 1.200 words, the leading article under -this heading being extracts from a pamphlet on militarism by a Baltimore physician. Dr. Richard II. Thomas, who treats the war evil as a "disease epidemic in all latitudes." He discusses Its causes, dangers and cure, and urges the religion of Christ as the only remedy. The third first-page story is a col umn and a half symposium on the Kansas prohibitory law, and Is made up of brief statements trom leading politicians and educators of the state, all maintaining that the law has proved a great success. The fourth and last Important arti elm U la tha form of a Itttar to .Editor

Sheldon from the T. M. C. A. of CI

orado, appealing to the Christian peo ple of the country to establish a noate for consumptives at Denver. The editorial matter has been switched from the fourth to the eo ond page. Following the title and the usual buslniss announcement, appears a list of the employes of the paper, from editor down to galley-boy, which win be kept standing throughout tfee week. The leading editorial contains an outline of the paper's policy drying the week. After making a statement of the conditions tinder which he undertook the duty of editing a distinctively Christian daily for one we; the editor says, in part: "It will be ts newspaper. The word "news" will be defined as anything in the way vt dally events that the public ought t. know for its development and power In a life of righteousness. Of necessity the editor of this paper, or of anx other paper with this definition of "news, will determine not only th. kind, but the quantity of any partieo; lar event which ought to be printed. The importance of one kind of new compared with another kind will alsi determine the place in the paper ic which matter will be printed." If ft" seems to the editor that it contain, subjects representing great causes thai belong to the profoundest principle of human life are the most important, they will be given the first page of the paper, whether they are telegraphlc items or not. It might easily become the settled ioIiey of a prominent paper similar to this one to consider the di1tailed account of a liattle as of les importance to the reader than an ac count of the usual daily destruction being caused by liquor. The first page of The Capital this week will contain what seems to the editor to be th most essential issues that affect hu nsanity as a whole. The main purpose of the paper will be to influence it; readers to seek first the kingdom o' God. A nation seeking the kingdon of God first of all. will In time fin" right answers to all disputed ques tions and lecome a powerful and use ful nation." . , The press account of the army ea timates submitted to the British par liament by the government is follow il with an editorial comment to the ffect that such news is a terrlbh onimenfary njmn our Christian clvi! nation. Other important news storie' ire followed with editorial matter There Is a cartoon on the edi torial page, depicting the horrors of war. Charged With Obstructing Election, Covington, Ky., March 13.

Very successful indeed were the plans of the congregation of the United Presbyterian church to make dne recognition of the fifth anni versary of the marriage of Pastor Hervey and wife. It has now slipped out that some members of the church who had learned that on the twelfth day of the third month of the 13y5th year the above mentioned two were married. The same bit of information was written in a book and put awav for future use. Ac cordingly plans were set going among the membership which resulted ma large assemblage of the members and friends of the church, including mm isters and their wives from the other c" lurches. Ihe speech of the evening was made by B. B- Myrick sr., which was a neat presentation of an elegant oak side board, the gift of the con gregation. The pastor made some brief remarks, introducing the bride in her wedding gown of five rears at. who in a very eracious way acknowledged the gift and the many' kindnesses of their hospitable congregation.
