There'll be scareheads in the papers, and a splash of crimson ink. Are there scandals and divorces? They'll be printed, never fear; felons run their evil courses, and they'll get three columns clear. They will chronicle, mv masters, all that savors of dis- grace, but a conference of pastors doesn't get an inch of space. They are diligent collectors of the ribald and the vile, but a soiree of our rectors isn’t worth the Y‘apers‘ while.” But the papers, oh, the Ipaper!, they are wiser than they look; they’re the builders and the shapers of our destinies, gadsook. And they advertise the sinner who has set the town aghast, that he may not be a winner when the round-up comes at last. For our lovely, grow- ing village it will be an evil day, when the men of crime and pillage go unmarked upon their way. We'll have reached disaster's border when the papers cease to toil in the cause of law and order, spearing spoils- men and their spoil. (Copyright.) ~ WALT MASON.
