The A- P. A- is rapidly obtaining a
dominant Influence in the politics of
this county and this state. Surely pa
triotism can be subserved without re
course to mediaeval means. The
schools and government can be effect
ively protected by other than secret
processes.
The formidable intellect that is pro
ductive of so many and varied mental
curios In the editorial columns of the
reverently esteemed State Journal has
finally been brought to bear upon the
subject of libel. Possibly there may
have been those who Imagined that once
the editorial genius of the Journal grap
pled with this subject it, the subject,
would be completely exhausted. Any
such apprehension was groundless.
Whatever effect the editorial antics
may have had on the Impelling intel
lect, however wearied and exhausted
the luminous journalistic servitor may
have been, the subject itself remained
untouched. All of the Journal's fecundity
in artifice and oraculor platitudinous
ambiguity was called into play in deal
ing with a subject that Is of interest
to the press and people alike, and I may
be pardoned for complimenting the
Journal on its special and unusual agil
ity in dodging the Issue. Much prac
tice has rendered the diurnal contem
porary well nigh perfect In the peculiar
art of filling columns of so-called edi
torial matter without the expression of
a single opinion on any subject. Any
fool can talk and give his convictions.
The fool who can talk forever and never
give expression to a single idea is spe
cially favored.

The Journal In the editorial above re
ferred to says tritely, "The publisher
has nothing to fear if .he tells the truth."
The reproduction of this frequently
voiced sentiment in the columns of the
Journal seems to Indicate, not that the
Journal in any way fathers the bold
Idea advanced, but that It recognizes in
a dim sort of way that a newspaper
can properly tell the truth. The Jour
nal is no iconoclast or pioneer, however,
and It is not going to venture on a poli
cy of truth-telling until such a course
is much safer than it now Is.
And now comes the remains of the
once mortal body of Tom Majors and
lo! the corpse dances on its own grave,
disturbing the peace and solitude of the
great City of Dead, sending quaint
