Just one more day and the
illustrous names and smiling
faces of three of the candidates
will disappear from the front
page of the newspaper—perhaps
forever.
And yet the undaunted aviator
persists, though he sees from the
diezy heights, his comrades drop-
ping to their death all around
him. By such intrepidity is the
conquest of the air being made.
The business men of Albany
seem to be agreed that a com-
mercial league is a good thing
for the town. They seem to be
willing to give of their means to
support the league, a goodly por-
tion of the members are conspic-
uous for their absence. It is
\
evidently a case where the
"spirit is willing but the flesh is
weak." Now Spirit is a very
good thing in its place but it con-
sists of entirely too thin a sub-
stance on which to found a bus-
iness league. There must be
some flesh along or the thing
will not have mqch backbone.
An hour or two one night in the
week is very little time to de-
vote to civic duty. Not only
every business man but every
property owner in the town owes
that much to the interests of the
town. It is a duty that cannot
be circumvented, or put off on
someone else. When a man fails
in this duty, thinking his place
and work will be taken by an-
other, he not only shirks but is a
discouragement to those who try
to accomplish something.

THE EVILS AND VIRTUES
OF NEWSPAPERS.
That newspapers have evils
and that they have virtues is a
fact that needs no assertion. It.
i§ the purpose of this article to
name and explain very briefly the
evils and virtues of newspapers
that the writer considers most
conspicuous and the most im-
portant.
One of the main evils of new^
papers, and perhaps the most
potent one, is due to the prom-
inence given the sensational.
It is due only to the strength,
*ind possibly number, of the vir-
tues that the evils can be tol-
erated. First among these to
deserve attention is tfye educa-
tional value of newspapers. They
are veritable storehouses of in-
formation. The newspaper touch-
es on every field of research
whether scientific, historical, ec-
onomical or religious, political
and invention, government and
society, all command* attention.
A man may become fairly well
informed from a daily perusal of
newspapers alone.
Another virtue is the power of
the newspaper to mould public
sentiment. This virtue may be
turned into a vice if the power
is abused; but the newspaper
that commands the highest re-
spect can be depended upon to
use its influence for good. Ev-
ery newspaper from the country
weekly to the greatest daily
helps to cultivate and foster the
spirit of patriotism. This in-
fluence does not always eminate
frdm the editorial column; but
every wholesome news item has
its power for good, either in the
community or in the nation.
Pride is always taken in things
personal, be they great or small,
and the newspaper deals in per-
sonalities.
From this hasty treatment of
the evils and the virtues of news-
papers, it may be said in con-
clusion that the virtues outweigh
the evils. True it is that the
abnormal desire for the sensa-
tional and the tendency to neg-
lect the best in literature,. are
grave evils due largely to the
influence of the newspaper, yet
its wonderful educational value
and its power to create the pat-
riotism and stimulate the minds
to act on the issues of the
day are far weightier as virtues.
