A Psychological Study

This Is My 65th Birthday

GEORGE E. REED. Dr. George K. Rood. president of Dickinson college, Carlisle, Fa., and tnc of the foremost scholars in the Methodist church, was born in Prow nsvil'.e, Me.. March 2S. 1S46. the son of a Methodist minister. lie received lila preparatory education in the public schools of IjOwell, Mass., and at "Wllbrabum academy. Thencehe entered Woslcyan university Theological achool. but did not remain for graduation. After being ordained to the mluIstry ho officiated as pastor of Methodist churches in a number of cities of New England and New York. He became president of Dickinson college in 1SS9 and during his service of more than twenty years he has developed the college Into one of the foremost school of its kind in the country. As atate librarian of Pennsylvania from 1899 to 1903, he developed and compiled the Pennsylvania archives. Dr. Heed has taken a deep interest in public affairs and numbers among his personal frlenda the greatest Americans of the last few decades.

The materials for a very pretty psychological study are in our possession which we willingly turn over to our readers. On Monday, March 27, the Item published an editorial vritten from fourteen to eighteen months ago. As to the subject matter itself we are little concerned, as the truth Is known to at least 3,838 citizens of Richmond alone, if not the number of 13,000 or 20,000 who are members of the households into which tho Palladium nightly enters in Richmond. As to the intent that is quite clear an attempt to divert the discussion. On last Sunday the Palladium explained why the matter of circulation in Its relation to advertising is u vital concern to every reader and every advertiser. There cannot bo too much discussion on this subject, but we believe that our readers do not care for personalities, or back biting.

This, if we remember rightly, is tho third or fourth time that tho IJditor of the Item has injected personalities into his columns. We desire to avoid taking up these things, lest they be mistaken for mere personal grievances, and because there is bad taste, not to say harm, in attacking an older man who is in many respects an admirable and public spirited citizen in intent and a man who can be personally attractive, kind, a gentleman, and who might be publicly efficient.

It is some malevolent spirit which is at work at times in the man's make-up which coupled with a curiously ignorant outlook toward some phases of the newspaper business have developed a misunderstanding of our public and business morality. And we are sorry that it should bo so.

That misunderstanding has prevented a man who should be a Bgure commanding love and respect not. only in this community but in wider circles from seeing the necessity for publicity ind investigation in the circulation departments of newspapers, and how, us was explained in Sunday's Issue, this is intimately connected with the great general principles with which we know ho Is in thorough sympathy. We do not regard the business division of a newspaper as one which should affect the editorial and news columns of a paper. Tho only way in which this can be accomplished is by putting tho circulation on n thoroughly honest basis open public to bo investigated from time to time by any fair tests which are recognized as standard.

Rome, March 28 The celebration of the jubilee of Italian unity began yesterday with the formal opening by King Victor Emmanuel of the international art exhibition. On Wednesday an industrial exhibition will be begun at Turin, where in 1861 Victor Emmanuel II, grandfather of the present monarch, assumed the title of king of Italy (as Victor Emmanuel I). At midnight a gun was fired from the Janiculum hill and the bell on the capitol was rung. From that hour the city was astir. Bands playing patriotic airs traversed the principal streets, which were bright with lights and gay flags and bunting; crowds filled the squares shouting "Viva Roma." The celebration is offensive to the holy see and some of the less orderly attempted to approach the Vatican. They were met by a strong detachment of police and turned back. During the morning hours King Victor Emmanuel. Queen Helena, the duke of Genoa, the count of Turin,

the exhibition committee, presided, and speeches tuned to the patriotic occasion were delivered by President Manfredi, of the senate; President Marcora of the chamber of deputies and mayor Nathan. King Victor Emmanuel replied with

an address that made a deep impression. The Americans present were Rmbassador Leishman. Harrison S. Morris, the United States commissioner to the exhibition and J. E. Morgan, president of the foreign committiee.

This controversy was started by the claim of the Item's agent in writing to one of our advertisers that we were falsifying our circulation in other words, accusing us of obtaining money under false pretenses. Indeed, the Item's agent went so far as to declare that the owner's were offering $.00 if wc were not doing so. The business department replied that it was open to investigation and would back it up by the addition of $300. As for that part of the story that is open to those who are readers of this paper. Tho Item's reply Is vituperation and personalities.

We intend in Richmond to place advertising, circulation standards and all kindred newspaper ethics on the plane adopted by Collier's, The New York Evening Mail. The Philadelphia North American and like papers of high character. There ore many things such as guaranteeing advertisements and the like which are coming just as the time is coming when the smaller papers in a community will receive just as much advertising as the larger ones at a rate which is commensurate to service performed. The power of advertising is so tremendous, its possibilities are so great, that it must bo placed on an equitable and decent basis for the benefit of the advertiser, the publisher, and more especially of the people. And we taking the first step.

Despite Robin's admission that he ia entirely sane. Mr. Jerome continues firm in the belief that his former client is a madman, and it is known thiit Justice Seabury is not. entirely satisfied on that point. Tho delay will afford further opportunity for probing into Robin's mental state. Following his arrest. Robin attempted suicide by swallowing a dose of hyoseamin, but the prompt use of a stomach pump saved his life. A committee of alienists was then appointed by the state to examine his sanity and the experts reported unanimously that

he was Incompetent to undertake a

defense. A jury sitting under Judge Swann rejected tho finding of the alienists. Through Robin's operations the Northern bank of New York, the Washington Savings bank, the Carnegie Trust company and a number of minor concerns which he promoted wont into insolvency.

We shall continue to talk about circulation and advertising in its effect on the public and the really vital interest that the public has at stake. For this thing can be and should be fought out along lines which are fair and we purpose to Btlck to them. The time is coming everywhere when this Is recognized. We shall be reluctant in the future as In the past to make editorial comment on such things as have no bearing 'on the matter, nor do wc intend to feed a craving vanity in an opponent who refuses to abide withou reasonable bounds of decorum, and helphlm to divert the Issue.

And the rest of the psychological study is that the fourteen months void water works editorial is hoped to divert attention from the point under hand. For such as do not already know tho truth, the fact is that tho analysis made by Mr. Leeds showed that the water works whs so profitable that the thing ought to be either municipally owned or protits patlripated in. The Palladium then urged that the plant, be Investigated and Maury was called in as a result of public opinion directly caused by the Palladium's urgence. We asked for an investigation of the Water Works because the company wished to withhold the information. We insisted this was the first step to be made.

Now we are insisting that newspaper circulation be investigated that It bo put and kept on a public and open honest basis.

SAYS QUININE WILL NOT BREAK A COLD!

You will distinctly feel your cold breaking and all the Grippe symptoms

leaving after taking the very first dose.

It is a positive fact that Pape's'Cold Compound, taken every two hours, until three coneeutive doses are taken, will end the Grippe and break up the most severe cold, either in the head, chest, back stomach or limbs. It promptly relieves the most miserable headache, dullness, head and nose stuffed up, feverishness, sneezing, sore throat, running of the nose, mucous catarrhal discharges, soreness, stiffness and rheumatic twinges. Pape's Cold Compound is the result of three years' research at a cost of more than fifty thousand dollars and contains no quinine, which we have conclusively demonstrated is not effective in the treatment of colds or grippe. Take this harmless compound as directed, with the knowledge that there is no other medicine, made anywhere else in the world, which will cure your cold or end grippe misery as promptly and without any other assistance or bad after-effects as a 25-cent package of Pape's Cold Compound, which any druggist in the world can supply.
