The Path at Siiccmb
Those who watch deretopmonts in
Journalism with something of a pro
fessional tatarsst will keep their eyes
on the experiment which the Philar
dal phis Public Ledger Is making.
At a time when there la so much
hasty talk about ths naad of mak
ing newspapers cheaper aad com
moner, the Ledger, under Its new
management, has boldly struck out
In tks opposite direction. It began
by abandoning Its Sunday "comic"
—that feature of American Journal
ism which is so utterly Incompre
hensible to Intelligent foreigners.
The Ledger also raised Its pries to
two cents, and ast about giving too
money's worth. It prints mors news
than any ons-cent paper can. and
looks carefully after its quality.
Its advertising roles have been
revised with n view to correct stan
dards Invariably malatalned. In a
word, tho Ledger, Instead of fling*
log Itself upon the love of sensation
and vulgarity, has made Its appeal
to Intelligent readers.
WUh ample means to strive to*
wards Its ideals, and with a large
and enlightened policy now estab
lished the good results which the
now Lodger has already attained,
and the greater once certain to fol
low, afford Instructive proof that the
path of euooeas for Americas news
papers dose not 11# solely through
the cheap and trivial.—Now York

The benevolent interest shown by
WnU-st. in legislation providing rural
oradits for farmers has raised the
question as to whether the Fletener
bill is an entirely disinterested one.
The biggest Wa 11-st assn among the
promoters of this bill Is one Edward
N. Bretiung. of New York. When
Breitung appeared before the Joint
congressional committee he explained
his Interest in the legislation.
“Myron <P. Herrick, n friend of
mine, then Ambassador to France,**
he replied, “asked me te go there
with him to see Just what this rural
credits thing was. He said I was a
Wall-et man who was *from Missouri*
and would hare to be shown.** Her*
rick evidently “showed** the Wallet
gentlemen, for he put up money tor
entertainment and propaganda for
Fletcher's southern commercial con*
gross rural credits plan.

The curse of the United States sen*

take themselves too seriously. Even
new men coming here fall under the
