Better children should starve than that they should be fed and corn- fortably fed on 75 cents a day. Such was the logic of this noble array of “un- employed.” It may have been true that the con. tractors were doing what the mob lead- era said. But theway to right the wrong was scarcely to take away the bread from those whose necessities forced them to accept the low wage. No man will work for 75 cents a day if he can help it. The raiders would have been in far bet- ter business if they themselves had been working for 75 cents a day than in mob bing and driving away from their cm- s ployment those to whom that money or starvation was the alternative. _ Some more conduct of this sort, some more ill advised strikes, and the public will be sick of hearing of the wrongs of the lap boring class for a generation to come. Journalistic Chivalrouancss. In announcing the termination of a marriage engagement between two well known persons a newspaper lately men- tioned, with an air of pride, that the en- gagement was broken in consequence of some episodes in the life of the prospec- tive bride which had been discovered by representatives of that paper and given to the world in its columns. It seemed to regard this as a triumph of journal- istic enterprise. So it was. it was a tri- umph of exactly the same kind as a car- rion bird feels when it has discovered one of its own peculiar kind of feasts. In the days of George D. Prentice on The CourierJournsl he would permit not a word to be published in it deroga- tory to a woman in respectable society. No matter how choice a bit of scandal might be, it was struck out by Prentice if the good name of a lady was involved. Consequently journalistic scavengers had no opportunity toexploit themelves there. This admirable example has been followed since the days of Prentice by other distinguished and chivalrous ediv tors. Only the scavenger newspapers depart to any extent from this rule and glory in discovering and spreading putre- faction. , In many cases these scavenger jour- nals do harm that they will never get forgiveness for this side of the great hereafter, if they do then. A slight matrimonial dificultyor a foolish epi soda in awoman's life in her ignorant youth, an episode shehas repented of in sackcloth and ashes a thousand times, is clawed up from the earth, where it is buried, and plastered upon the pages of a so called newspaper. Shabby kind of news this is. The lady may be one of the best and noblest of women. but the scavenger journal deliberately tries to ruin her and glories in it. A lady is utterly helpless in presence of such a paper. The mostdclicats fabric in existence is a woman's good name. She may have built it up by years of spot- less life and selfless work. Then comes the journalistic scavenger and blows his foul breath upon it. It withers away and vanishes, and the woman's life is ruined henceforth. All her years of good deeds go for nothing before the newspaper scav- enger. This is not journalism; it is in- famy. ‘ A movement is on foot in France to secure reciprocity treaties with the Unit- ed States similar to these we now have with Mexico and the Smith American rm pnblics.
