NEWSPAPERS AND POLITICS Concluded from Paso V of criticism and of Infliitnco, Tho two rent factors In our political life are 'he party organization and the press. Tho press is tho educating fqree; the org ml zutlon Is the Instrumentality of practical operation. The former moulds oplniju: the latter Is the agency for making It iffectlVf In government. The tendency ot the party organization Is to develop Into a machine under the control of a boss. With the absorption of the mass of the people In their own ufTalrs, with their dis position to leave public atlairs In the hands of the few. and with the cohesive powet of patronage political coiitlol nat urally gravitates to those who make It a business. Parties are the necessity and the life of free governincn'. Domination within party Is the natural outgrowth or general apathy and special application, of personal aptitude and superior oppor tunity. The one available cheek upon this Inevitable tendency Is the press. If It does not educate and arouse the people there Is no effeetlv protection. As I)e Tocqueyltlo said more than sixty years ago, "Nothing but a newspaper can drop the same thought Into ten thousand minds at the same moment." Tho vigilance. In dependence, courage, publicity and articu late public opinion of the newspapers must lie the real safeguards of the social and political fabric. PAltTY STANDARDS. Do the newspapers folily fulfill this mission? The personal and machine domination which spreads Its arms In cver oilier direction like an octopus naturally seeks to strengthen Itself bv subsidizing or silencing them, in the old days of limited range and resources It largely succeeded. Does It now? On the cnntiHtw the remm liable expansion and financial success of journalism as a business enterprise have brought a visi ble emancipation and elevation. The press has become far more than ever a ruling power because this vital, master ful strength of Its own makes It self lespectlng. self-asserting, independent and courageous. It Is no longer, as it was !-o largely in the old davs, the mere dependent or stipendiary. It no longer feeds chiefly on the crumbs that tall from the official table. Whv should It be swayed by official patronage which at the best Is but an Insignificant por tion of Its revenues? Why should it curry such favor when the rewards of a great popular success are so immeasur ably greater? The party shibboleth un fortunately still secures much toleration In the press for liosslsm where there Is no leal personal subservience. The news papers do not yet appreciate the full power and dignity of their position, fu ller our system when Journalism should at once lead and follow the worthiest public impulses, the people will edit the editors: but it Is no less true that, arm ed with the supreme commission of the people, the editors could, far mole than thev do, boss the bosses. This inherent power derived from pop ular support has emancipated Journalism from the thrnlldom of personal servility and given It character and Inlluenee, in tegrity and Independence. We used to hear a great deal about Independent Journalism as distinguished lrom party journalism. The advance of the press, both on Its professional and on its busi ness side, has done much to obliterate that distinction. Independent Journal Ism becomes party journalism through the practical necessity of establishing its principles by practical methods. Party Journalism becomes Independent journal ism In its liberation from dependence on individual or machine favor. Can ning described an Independent man with my apologies and disclaimer to this club as a man who could not be de pended on. The independent Journalism that Is simply lllppaut and prone, as George William Curtis, himself an In dependent, long ago said, to good nntured indifference, or that, like the mock doc tor of Mollcrc, puts the organ of the bile in the place of the heart, and that does not care which side goes up or which side goes down, is passing away. And. on the other hand, party journalism In Its highest estate and la Its true and worthier Independence, Is teaching the lesson that it cannot lie depended on to uphold and defend party wrongs and abuses. CYNICISM. And yet. in spite of the great advance and with a full conviction of all that lias been said, It Is still true that the radical fault of American Journalism Is not partylsin, but extremeness and tn falrness in partyism. Free government Is necessarily government of party, ami In the natuie of the case political Jour nalism must largely be party Journalism. Hut 1 hold that manly Independence Is entirely compatible with sincere devo tion to the pilnclples and policy of a particular party and with full faith that Its dominance best conduces to the pub lic welfare. This partyism is practical but not slavish. This independence Is not blind to the bail on Its own side or to thn good on the other. The vice of our journalism Is that, not through any sordid motive but through its zeal and vehemence, it lacks candor, discrimina tion and the Judicial quality. The old practice of suppressing the news of the other side, the old Intensity and intoler ance of Greeley that wouldn't print a speech of iluratlo Seymour, has passed away. t;a' theie Is still too much of the ur ".'.:.' partisanship which discolors the news and too much of the eager and Intemperc.t" spirit which presents dis torted lews and conveys unjust Impres sions. The jii ess will be a still mole powerful factor In our political life when It learns to secure full and enduring public contldcnce In Its sobriety. Its rea son, Its earnestness and its Justice. Instead of being suhsti vleiit to influ ence or power tho fault of our Journalism Is too strong a tendency towards reckless end wanton cilticlsm. -.,,it chilly of public ifprtsentatives. It Is a fuWuon in many quarters to sneer at those who are ciarged with public trust. There Is a synlcal tone tuwaids public life and a c-iptious dlsnosltion to Impute unworthy motives and selllsh purposes without any just understanding et any candid spirit. There Is too little toleration ot dllferenei s and too great it tidiness to meet dlssonl e-lth contemptuous rldlciilu ot vindictive vituperation. Pome of this aspersion is pure hcnsatiotuillnn. which craves highly spiced tood, and some of It is the inurce and censorious phmh-eelsm which dis plays Us pr lncterles and thanks, tho Lord that it is not as other men are. Tho worst sh'i.tis are tho iiuerulous and su percilious high priests of c.nu who habit ually scoli at faith in public vlitue. and constantly represent our public life as seamed with pollution and scarred with falsehood. In our minor legislative bodies and munlclpil councils there is undoubt edly much of wr.ality and proltigacy. but in tho broader arena of public alfalrs and in our higher public llfo tin re is an hon orable standard and a worthy and pa triotic aspiration which rebukes this con stant and carping detraction. Ap a Jour nalist devoted to a profession which ought to bo the Just Interpreter of qte and ought to sttengthen popular fnlth In republican Institutions. I protest against this perversion, of tho press which mis represents and defames the tone nnd spirit of our public service. Impeaches the Integrity and intelligence of tho people themselves, and malleus the character and product of our governmental sys tem. Till; Fl'Tl'ltK.
