WHAT SHAJaL WE PRINT '
One of the great problems of the newspaper busineas is wiether
to print matter that the editor himself likes or to give tho reade* tlhe
■tuff they indicate they care for the most. It is a deep subject, and one
not to be dismissed lightly, or within the space of halt a coJuma
Speaking broadly, however, the real answer is to g.ve your leaders
what they like and suppress your own inclinations in the matur lo a
large extent. This is the general practice, modified only when an editor |
feels that his readers want something altogether undesirable tjr them
to have.
As a result we see papers in the South playing down the if ws on I
the colored race, editors in coal mining districts playing up tie news j
about the Herrin massacre in a way that the workingmen prefer; and so j
on in innumerable other instances. The reader is to be plea-s*d first
From him we get our circulation, and that in turn enables os to secure
advertising.
One does Dot tell fairy tales to a bankers’ convention, ncr does
one tell youngsters of immature age about the intricacies of £igb loanee.
One must out one’s cloth to one’s goods. And it ts this that mates the
profession newts paper-making one of the most difficult of all arts. A
doctor’s mistake may cause a single death, but a vicious article in a n* ws
nap*'!- may lead to riots culminating in the deaths of many people.
Few of the big metropolitan newspapers that, hive been running
any length of time can. point to a blameless existence and justly say that
they have not been directly responsible for sudden deaths. And this
through the various means by which mind reacts over matter. Any time
an unusual murder is committed it is almost certain that it w-11 find its
counterpart in some other part of the country, caused directly by the
dissemination of the news about the first.
Editors must write their matter for their readers, but must take
care not to give them all they want, if their desires are unhealthy. As
we remarked before, it is a deep subject and one to be determined only
by the uplift of humanity in general.
A HAD AND BOY EVENING.
When a boy loses his father by death, the world feels that he
has lost his guide to manhood, and pity is always expressed that his
upbringing is left entirely in the hands of his mother.
Such a loss is sad fo* any boy, hut how much sadder the fate of
those who lose their fathers by life; who have them, and yet have them
not; who are separated from them by the demands of business, pleasure,
or indifference; who have their fathers in flesh, but not in spirit !
It is never possible for a mother to exercise the same influence
over a growing boy that a father can. In the first place, she is held
away from him by the gigantic wall of sex; she can never hope to under
stand the needs of his developing nature as a man could.
Her maternal instinct yearns over her manchild and her heart
is as wax towards him. Every growing boy needs a man guiding band,
and it is appalling how many fathers do not seem to realize this fact.
If fathers could be made to realize that the giving of even one
evening every week to their boys might mean the making of future great
men, surely there is not one who would begrudge this time, and count
It.well spent.
Our boys, after all, stay with us as boys for such a pitifully short
space of time !
NATURALIZED CITIZEN MAY EXPATRIATE SELF.
Naturalized citizens, it is explained at the State Department in
Washington, should “watch their step” in returning to the land of their
birth for a visit, lest they lose the citizenship they have here acquired
An alien applying for American citizenship declares on oath, that
it is his intention to reside permanently in. the United States. On the j
Strength of this promise the Government gives him the same rights to I
which those who are born in the United States are entitled.
If a naturalized citizen gives up his home in this country and takes I
permanent residence in another country, there is no reason why the Gov- j
eminent should continue to protect him.
Law provides that if within five years after his naturalization a
citizen returns to his native country or to any other foreign country and
takes permanent residence there. It is prima facie evidence of his lack
of intention to become a permanent citizen of the United States at the
time of filing his application for citizenship and his certificate of citizen
ship may be canceled as fraudulently obtained.

By C. J. WOOFTER
Deputy Clei v.
The advisability of prescribing
different open seasons for white fox
and red fox was discussed, but the
habits and ranges of the two species
art too closely associated to allow
SECOND—The change in the
muskrat season is radical and, we
bt lieve, efficacious.
The long midwinter season is not
wanted either by trappers or trad
ers. It leads to a destruction of
houses and runaways that would
■prtainly exterminate .the rat if long
continued. The forty days open
season at the breakup gives the
hunter a chance to select and shoot
ihe finest rats at a time when their
p* lage has reached its highest
THIRD—The season is closed on
Beaver. The trapper forced this
issue upon himself by a wholesale
destruction of heaver houses during
the two years open season granted.
