NEWSPAPER PROVINCE.
James Keeley, managing editor
of the Chicago' Tribune, is one of
the greatest editors in the orld—
lie believes just as we do. He
can tell just wliat a newspaper
should be, even as you and 1 can
tell. Hut, like the millions of at
tempts at perpetual motion, tse
blamed things won't, run accord
ing to our most delicate calcula
tions. We start out to support
the causes of justice, and injust
ice steps in and pulls out its ad
vertising. We attempt to protect
th.e independent merchant, and
the combination breaks us
through political and organized
opposition. We support the com
binations, and the independents
send elsewhere for their printing.
We side with the preachers and
get our pay in aiding the pros
perity of the heathen children in
some foreign land. We support a
liquor license and the temperance
people stop their subscriptions.
Keeley lias ligured out just
what an ideal newspaper should
be, but he says no one has ever
produced one. This is his es
timate:
The lug development oi me
modern newspaper will be along
lines of personal service. The
newspaper l.hal not only informs
and instructs its readers but is
of serv ice is I lie one tlial com
mands attention, gels circulation,
and also holds its readers after
it gels them. The newspaper
must he of service today, not on
ly in polities and morals--iiol on
ly as it lias been in I lie past in
lighting' Ihe hollies of the peo
ple against Ivranls and in hold
ing I lieiil ill check w hen llicy have
heen templed lo revenge outrages,
hill il lillisl lie of social service.
II must nol only plead with I lie
people I o svv;tI I lie crook, hill must
also urge ilicm I" swal the lly.
It. inii:-| iml only lieip in I lie
lighting for a clean cilv hut nmsl
aid I lie clergy and olliers in I In*
light for a clean home. II nmsl
not only leach patriot ism hul
must show Ihe folly of |lie annual
massacre on July i--u slaughter
doubly horrible licrausc it is done
in the name of patriotism. It
must enter info Ihe everyday life
of its readers and, like the parish
priest, he guide, counselor and
friend. L have often thought that
a newspaper can most closely re
alize its real mission the nehrer
it comes til attaining Ihe ideals
of the parish priest and the cler
gyman in his ministrations to his
flock And the newspapers flock
is often rtunrberc'd in ;the hun
dreds of "<hmisanifs't.’--l?x.
ALASKAN • RAILWAYS AND
MINES.
'I he Senate is going to investi
gate the report that ‘ somebody
saici that lailways' would not be
constructed in Alaska unless the:
government sold its coal lands.
There may be an awful scandal
concealed beneath this threat of
another investigatioh, ahd- when
the facts are disclosed^ they may
be dealt with. Speaking theoret
ically, we don’t see why ’ private'
capital should build' a railway to
open coal deposits which the gov
ernment wished to “conservd.,v
On general principles it would
seem that a railway in Alaska
could hardly thrive on passenger
traffic, and that coal lands which
could not be sold and which were
not accessible by a railway would
not be worth thirty cents. On the
other hand there would seem to be
a chance that the ownership of
the railway and the coal lands in
the same hands might be a good
thing for those who owned neith
er the coal nor the railway, flut
meroily wished to be warm or to
make steam by the consumption
of coal which might be supplied
to the market.
We seem to remember that this
scandal relates to 5,000 acres of
, the 7,000,000 acres of coal land,
and which were sold at the stat
utory price but not delivered. Mr.
Pfmchot, according to the wail
frftm Alaska which was -filed wjith
President Taft, said these lands
were worth $25,000,000. He might
as well have said $25,000,000,000.
Pennsylvania coal lands will not
bring $5,000 an acre. Pocahontas
coal land can be bought for $100
an acre, (foal lands in Alaska can
not be worth more. But we are
all for learning the facts. Scandal
is the one thing of which there
cannot be a sufficiency, not even
in the congress of a thousand in
vestigations, and nothing done af
ter I lieiu. The country wauls In
I know about this Alaska scandal
more than it wants In know about
the other scandals of the Iasi re
gime, if possible, and tin* man
who would propose that Hie facts
should not he told again—they
I have been told many limes—is
| not. eligible for membership in a
ichurch sewing society—X. Y.
Times. _
II is hard to keep down n man
j who combines pull with push.
i The local'Democratic* machine
i is seeing dark spots on the sun.
The hoys who hold the theory
that there is luck in dark colors
point with pride lo the latest
proof of the fact.
i President Wilson was horn a
I southern man and you can’t
I blame him for having a warm
[side for southern men and south
iern customs.

Since, the discovery of gold at
Cape Nome in 1899, upward of
872,000,000 in gold bullion has
been shipped from Nome to Ihe
nUited States. This makes no
account of gold privately taken
[out. This country lias sent 810,
[(100,000 worth of commodities to
[the gold mining city. A large
fleet, of vessels of varying size has
made Nome a port for places
along the eBring Sea and Siberia,
and because of unsafe anchorage
nearly a million dollars has been
losl in marine disasters. hTere
fore the House and Senate of
Alaska ask that a safe anchorage
he constructed at the mouth ojf
the Snake River, with a prelimi
nary survey costing 825,000. — N\
