Every convicted violator of her immutable . principles should, be scouraged to his just punishment hut half a case is no case in her .tribur nali The Postmaster. General declared there must be liberty of the press everywhere and always, but this liberty he "said, affords no warrant for hasty generalizations or unworthy attacks upon interests or individuals. ' ' ' 11 ('Of late years' he said "there has developed a style of 'journalism, happily as yet 'limited in" its 'scope,' whose teachings are a curse and whose influences is a blight upon the land. Pandering f o unholy passions, making the , commonplace-, to appear sensational, fanning the fires of sectionalism and class hatred, invading the privacy of our firesides, it presents one of the most important of our present day problems. These journals of malign influence must not be ''regarded As fit examples of American1 journalism. The representative newspapers are true to its best tra ditions." ilr. Cortelyou is one of President

Therefore his remarks should be carefully considered, especially those bearing upon the harm developed by the particular style of journalism which seeks to accomplish its purpose by perverted and sensational means.: i ..

RETROSPECT OF PAUL BY MISS ESTHER

The statement ' was made a fewi days ago in a local paper, that Richmond was the early home of Paul Laurence Dunbar, and that he received a part of his education in the public , schools of this city. This was an error, although a natural one, taking into account his manv visits here during that period of his career when he was struggling for recognition. , Dunbar did not, however, at any time, have a residence in Richmond, Dayton being the place of his birth and his home up to the time he became so much of a celebrity. There be returned when his health failed him. And there he died. It has been said now and then in print and said, perhaps, by the uninformed, or those incapable of a just estimate of a writer's power, or those whose social prejudices render them designedly blind; and those, al - so, wno cannot Appreciate the true spirit of poetry and hopelessly confuse the genuine with the spurious- -that Dunbar was great only as an interpreter of the elemental emotions of his race. That as a Poet, aside from this undeniable gift, he could not rank. That it was only because the race had induced so few exponents of the purely aesthetic that he could be looked upon as remarkable. This, happily, is not the accepted view. Paul Laurence Duubar is regarded as ov.e of the important and impressive figures in the contemporaneous literature of our country. More than that. As unique, as picturesque, and as one of the purest lyricists America has known. Dunbar is above all considerations of color, of race, of social demarcations. If it Ave re merely talent that he possessed, perhaps this would not be so. But that his genius lifts him above the multitude, that' it removes, him from that vast assemblage of mediocrity which rushes into deckle-edged and autographed-copy print where poets fear to tread that his is the isolated white light of pbelie art .j-has.:' been admitted by the most erudite crities of his day. v , - . . ? He possessed what. every great poet must possess to be a poet the purely lyrical, the' singing quality. It j is one of the rare gifts of Nature and cannot be acquired. As Henry James succintly says, and he might well have been speaking of Dunbar so accurate does the wording seem i that the Poet is most the Poet when he is preponderantly lyrical, when he speaks, ' Laughing I or crying, most directly from his individual heart. It is not, the image; of life that he thus expresses, so much as life itself, in its sources so much as his own intimate, essential states and feeling." EXPECT 40,000 PEOPLE AT LAYING OF CORNER STONE TO BUILDING. Knights of Pythias of Indiana Will Have Big Day at Indianapolis in May. Indianapolis, Feb. 15.

M&3. when the Knights of Pythias lay the corner stone of their j new building. Harry Wade, grand keeper of records and seal, says fully tbis number of visiting knights will participate. The day has not yet been selected, but it will be early in May. An elaborate program of ceremonies is now being prepared by Mr. Wade and his fellow Grand Lodge officers. There will be numerous distinguished speakers and prominent members of the order from all parts of the country. v When completed, the building will be the largest , and most valuable piece, of Pythian property, so. the exercises attending the laying of the corner stone are, regarded as of na-' tional significance. The officers of;. the Supreme Lodge and those of. the Grand Lodge of Indiana and neigh- ; boring States, will be invited to participate, i; J , ,;... There is; talk of holding a Uniform Rank encampment in this city at the time of the corner stone laying, and j if this is , done, .the ceremonies will continue; for .. perhaps ' three lays. The encampment, it : is thought, would tend to stimulate interest in. the exercises of the corner stone laying. -'1 t-. A Pennsylvania man burned dynamite in the grate to see if ?t wonldi explode. .

LAURENCE DUNBAR GRIFFIN WHITE

That he did speak for Ms race ia its natural and more primal asneets. vi. i m WUll'U tic uas engraved ineffaceably on the rock of his literary reputation, illustrating all that imaginative quality that dramatic instinct so inherited ,an4 typical of its less educated representatives its love of the musical, its unconscious rythmical possession, its superstitions ; and also, its" shrewd simplicity, its simple religious faith. All this he interprets in a manner inimitable and as no one else has ever done. And it is because of his position. He is on the right side of the footlights. He does not write from the audience as does the imjwssible poseur, Frank Stanton, whose negro verse is so patently manufactured and of unspeakable inanity but from the stage. And that is nnn nt Ha unn.J I. . 1- I i ' he does it supremely and inimitably is not that he does it from the stage, but-that in doing it. from the stage he lends to it the fire of his personal and unracial genius. As one of the greatest lyric poets of his generation, however, his appeal is universal, his audience humanity. His is not a local reputation. It is international. In Europe be was received and applauded by all classes, there being, as is well known, there no social distinctions on account of the accident of color. In prose he accomplished much that is far more creditable than the output of many of his novelist confreres of the other race, his little story, "The Uncalled," embodying a universal truth that has very rarely been made the theme of the fiction writer. But it is as a Poet that he Avill live one -who sang of the pain and the beauty of the world the welt schmerz;. Who delighted ,and consoled, saddened and made glad. His was at beautiful spirit the human walls withjn which it was encased being a mere accident of Fate. "Beyond the, .years, the : prayer V ;rest.

INTERURBAN CAR WAS USED. New Castle Workers Carry Voters to Poles in an Up-to-Date Manner at Last Election. New Castle, Ind., Feb. 15. A new use for interurban lines was put in vogue here Tuesday when the election was being held. Instead of the oldtime plan of getting out the vote with carriages an interurban car was. used.

Jacksonville, 111., February 15. William J.
