An interesting analysis of the conduet and management of the modern newspaper has recently been made by the editor of the Hartford Globe. He replies in a convincing way to many of the criticism directed against the present day press. He directs attention to the interesting fact that the most bitter of these assaults and the most venomous charges come from men who have industriously sought the limelight all their lives, and from others who are largely removed from close touch with life and its present day vigorous living. Perhaps the most frequent complaint that is heard is with regard to misrepresentation and inaccuracy if reporting. The writer points out that the whole basis and fabrie of a successful newspaper today is built upon the personal honesty of the men who create newspapers and that the law of libel adequately, and in some instances aimest unduly, protects cilizens against mis- Reporting, far from being inaccurate is, as he accurate for the comfort of many publie men. representation. points out, far too Reporters have an uncomfortable habit of stating what a] mission of five persons to inves- been passed.—‘The Square Deal’/at his home, bloodstained and man actually said, not what he thought or wanted to say.

He is nothing but a plain reporter, not known to any save his editor and a few public men, so it is safe to kick him. “The newspapers are made by the people,” says Mr, Ma- comber, the editor referred to, ‘‘because the great-body of news is obtaind from the people, The reporter turns in what he learns from many sources. It is not what he thinks, and very seldom what he sees. If newspapers are inaccurate, the source is in- accurate, Newspapers, as a rule, are of higher intelligence than the average public.” On the point of the decline of the editorial, the writer makes this pointed comment: ‘When the hater of newspapers shouts aloud that the influence of the editorial has declined, he pays a compliment to the newspapers though he does not know it, and at the same time compliments the people in a way he does not realize. “People in the days of Dana, Greeley and Raymond did not have the sources of information at their command that we have They did have the basic education was the average intelligence high. Somebody thought for them through the editorial columns, because they could not, or would not, think for-themselves. ‘Today the editorial writer has few sources of information open to him that are not also open to today. not nor SU his readers. He is rarely a man of greater education or broader intelligence than the uverage of his readers, and what is still more important, the newspaper reader of today thinks for him- self. He is capable of forming his own opinions and insists upon doing it. The influence of the editorial has declined just as the education of the people has increased. “If Dana, Greeley and Raymond lived today they would be just as impotent in moulding public opinion and in influencing the trend of human action and endeavor as are the scores of men who today stand back of American newspapers and wield as trenchent a pen as ever this vaunted trio did,” et CANOE TRAGEDY MOTOR CYCLIST’S END Quebec Engineer Drowns to Save Every Bone in His Body Broken His Companions Life by Terrible Fall.

S. Legislation— Provides for Many Safeguards. Washington, June 11. An all inclusive bill to be called the Ocean Safety Act of 1912, de- signed to cover all the navigation lessons drawn from the Titanic disaster, was introduced by Sen- ator Nelson of Minensota, chair- man of the Gommerce committee, which through a sub-committee investigated that disaster. The bill includes — stringent regulations for better wireless equipment, continuously operat- ed, on ocean and Great Lakes vessels carrying 50 or more pas- sengers, jusl provided in a bill which passed the house and almost identical with a bill al- ready passed by the senate. This wireless section vests control of the apparatus in the master of the vessel, and to avoid the wire- communication being shut off by failure of the vessel's en- gines, requires a powerful aux- iliary power supply that can com- munieate 100 miles at all times, The Nelson bill would reeog- nize foreign steamship laws whenever they are as effective as American laws and regulations; would equip every passenger eraft leaving an American port with sufficient life to ae- ecommodate everybody aboard, together with other safely equip- and would create a com- as less boats ment, — boat drills, quatifieation of sea- men; penalize failure to assist any person in distress at sea, and make crimmally liable any mas- ter, managing owner, steamship director or principal resident agent of a foreign steamship for sending from au American port a vessel so unseaworthy as to en- danger life. THE BUSINESS TAX Ex-Controller Spence on Abolition of it. Abolition of the business tax as a means of raising municipal revenue was advocated with much emphasis recently by Mr F. S. Spence, speaking before a meeting of members of the Can- adian Manufacturers’ Associa- tion which followed an informal dinner at the St. Charles Cafe, Toronto. Mr, Spence advised the manufacturers to take counsel together and appoint a_— strong committee to gather facts and lay them before the special com mittee of the Legislature which is to be in session this year. No resolution was made on this pro posal, but the remarks by Mr. F. G, Beer, the chairman, in closing the meeting, indicated that steps would immediately be taken in this direction, The Tax Reform League's proposition to business firms is that they subscribe the amount of one year’s business tax to the League’s campaign to abolish the business tax; one-half of the subseription to be paid when $25,000, including an equal sum from Mr, Joseph Fels, has been subseribed, and the balanee when legislation permitting the abolition of the business tax has U.
