THE WORK OF THE NEWSPAPERS- Of course a newspaper must print the news, and the more news it prints, the more popular it ii$. Rut there is a class of matter which in a way Is news that does not seem to appeal to many newspaper men. We allude to the chronicling of progress on the part of com munities, towns and cities, large and small. The printing of such matter in the newspapers does a world of good, much Jnore than is generally supposed. The editor of the Charlotte Observer seems to realize this fact to a, greater extent limn most newajmpe editors, in a recent editorial on "The Observer's Policies" we find the fol- ,0WiDB: , . , ,. - " MM uoou roaas, scnoois, agriculture ami industry are In deed subjects in promotion of which The Observer lias nerer tired, and it has believed that in no oilier wuy could it render its state u greuterervice for these are the, foundation stones cf lis present and future great ness. Especially has it been the delight of The Observer to drop In on the towns round about and make note of the better things which greet the eyes of the visitors and there is not a town in all the state in which some thing good to write about is not to be found. The Ob-, server believes in inspiring the people and to excite mutual admiration in the state's great community of progressive towns. It is the easiest matter in the world to sally forth in any direction from Charlotte and -find abundant evidences of advancement and progress, and nothing Is 'more roadily reeled off our typewriter than the littlevHtories we are continually printing about these happily developing signs of prosperity throughout the state. We would rather draw thestT little pictures of North Carolina progress than to wear line raiment, and sometimes we are disposed to argue with our hand that it Is not exactly diligent in rising to lis abundance of op portunities. It can be said of Colonel Wade Harris, the Charlotte Observer, man who "draws these little pictures of North Carolina progress," that ho is Impartial hi ills chronicling and bestows praise On any community anywhere in the state he finds true -progress and advance ment. ' There is much so-called news published by all the newspapers that could well give place to mailer of the kind referred to aluive by the Charlotte editor. Resides there is much news given by the press In voluminous form that is not, important enough to warrant the space given It, and indeed could bo made more 'Inleresl ing and acceptable if condensed. Dally 'news stories are printed that, l'or ' I heir redundancy, needless fulners of. detail and repetition take -up space that could well be devoted to news and comment on everyday affairs of the class alluded to above by our contemporary. Now we are not seeking to instruct the other fellow how to run a newspaper, but wa simply are calling attention to the-opportunities for advancing industry and enterprise by adopting a policy which has been used for good by the Charlotte Observer. Let tile news-, papers devote space to other things than what is generally accented as news, politics and the like.

It is charged now that two Canadians have been bribed by Stillman to testify against his wife, while eleven other witnesses, it Is said, have been offered bribes to testify falsely! There is guilt in the case, without a doubt, for there is absolute truth in the old Baying that "where there's smoke there's bound to be lire." 'Here is an immensely rich man. who has been able to gratify almost his every wish, engaged in a dirty case in the courts, in which his own name and the names of his wife and children are dragged in the in Ire. It is inconceivable 'how a man of a strict pense .of propriety, upright living and high sense of honor could do anything to thus pub licly, and in open court brand the wife of his bosom of infidelity, and drag his children into disgrace. Par belter would it huo been to endure much, or at least have a quiet separation. ' Can it be that vast wealth and the fawning that il brings lnl the Stillmans, husband and wile, to believe Unit, being above the common herd, they could afford lo go to extremi-s and indulge in conduct not permitted to those without immense bank rolls'.' Can it be that, pandering to ihe lusts of the flesh, these "children of for tune" hav.. become so hardened and so selfish as to have lost all desire for and appreciation of the pure and good things of life? it .really looks so.
