From Atlanta Constitution. There is a mistaken idea current with a certain type of reformer that newspapers carry the functions of creators and censors of the public taste. They complain of the gen erat content of the daily papers be cause they contain news and fea ture stories that offend the reform er's notion of what the people ought to read. Newspapers are. in a way, guard ians of the public morale within the terms ot the law and the can ons of common decency. They aro published as a rule by men of clean character, habits and taste, as Jeal ous of the good morals of their own families as is any reformer in the land. They print newspapers that pass through the mails without of fense to the law which protect against indecency and immorality and that are welcomed by the most correct and intelligent people of the rountry. The objective of the newspaper is to report to its readers as fully and reliably as possible the news of human current transactions and the events of nature. The pages are kept sensitive to the demand of the reading public. They are photo graphic plates of the day and the public watches and searches them t\s the astronomer does his plates of the night to catch the phases of the heaven and possibly discover a new- planet. The popular pages of the newspa l»r reflect very accurately the phases of public taste, created oth erwise than by the newspapers. The news columns are the study of a section of the public, the society columns are most important to an other section, the sports pages to vet another, the market pages to another and so on through the makeup of the daily issue. But the public at large wants “all the news that is fit to print" by the com mon standards of public interest and curiosity, so that the run of the readers are the proper censors of the press and not the fervid re formers who are monomaniacs on particular phases of popular life. FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS The Balkans are aflame again,— There’ll be another shake up; The Jugo-Slavs are waging war,— This time, on facial make up. The war whoop of the profs is this! "Keep that schoolgirl complexion! But if you powder use1, or rouge, Prepare for a correction. "Before the class. And If agaii You dim your nose's shine, Then ma and pa must go to jail Or pay for you a fine.” Before such custom we adopt, Let’s think what it entails - Vast treasuries, to hold the finds. And countless thousand jails. __ —Sam Page. Q- Are railroad earning* increas ing or decreasing?—B. V. 8 A.
