The amount of space and attention iriven to reports of murder and other criminal trials by the press of the couutry calls forth much unfavorable comment from gooddntentioncd people peo-ple now-a-days. They, however, do not pause to consider the reasons for such a state of affairs. The newspaper of the present time caters to the demands of the people for the new, and a large portion of the reading public considers reports of murders, etc., as news, par excellence. It is not strange, therefore, that a newspaper, in bidding for popularity, should give extra attention to these eerulngly popular subjects. While this Is no doubt very well from a business bus-iness standpoint, it is not morally right or Christian. Very many people, while nominally Christians, have a morbid desire to learn of others' misfortunes and errors, and while not at all desirous if giving such things general publicity, pub-licity, they are not averse to discussing discuss-ing them or to reading discussions by others. Hence the attempts of the press to furnish such Information and discussions. This tendency to gloat over a fellow creature's wrong-doings is one of the evil attributes of human nature and hould be repressed by every possible means. It Is, perhaps, one of the most serious obstacles to the true progress and ' ultimate up-lifting of mankind to that moral plane upon which all men stand as brothers and as intended by the Creator. The demoralizing effect of these things is not confined to those who look for them and take Interest la their perusal. The innocent reader at first peruses a report of a murder or other high crime with horror and disgust, dis-gust, With each succeeding perusal this feeling, and at last, even If the reading affords no pleasure, it at least arouses no disgust, ami comes to be accepted as a matter of course. This feeling of Indifference is evidence of an Insidious education along lines which may lead toward crime. To those whose natures are inclined to crime through untoward circumstances circum-stances or through a pre-disposition, the publicity given to great criminal affairs cannot but be injurious. A spirit of emulation may be aroused and thoughts turned In criminal directions di-rections which might otherwise have remained dormant. The sphere of the press is to elevate Instead of depress, and the giving of Xmbllclty to the details of great crimes Is a move towards depression. A radical change must be made in these matters, op- the result of this tendency may be the ruin of the race, morally, Intellectually and physically. phys-ically. push srsisovnxs to the front. We have held our editorial page open to get a conservative and accurate accur-ate estimate of the vote of Spring-Till Spring-Till and are pleased to say the men elected are all good solid men who will undoubtedly make our city's Interest In-terest their chief aim In public life. We reiterate the hope that they will relcf ate politics to that place where municipal politic should be sent, and a united effort made to bave Spring- Till where It ought to be the first city of the county. Its location Is all that U necessary to have It so; being tha only Junction city in the county. It has all the natural facilities for greatness and It second (Hily to one town In point of population, assxed wealth and school attendance, It Is the natural location for .he county feat and If we were to lead out In cn terprise headed by a good Mayor and an e Wgetic though conservative Council, there Is no reason on earth why our true position and rights might not be recognized. Hut this sort of a move must, like charity, begin be-gin at home. There is no visP-or to the town but what concedes Sprlngville as boltig a most desirable home location. Itx name alone Is stitfgestive of beauty, its popularity as a new place to; home is attested by reference to the last census showing anllncreased population pop-ulation of over 25 per cent as against any other city's 16 per cent. With tiiis magnificent showing we hope our incoming odloers will look well to maintaining .Springville's reputation, lead out with Improvements that are now In the column of absolute necessities. neces-sities. Among them we will briefly mention electric light on Main and Depot streets, water works on a limited lim-ited scale, a park for the public to use and a summer pavillion on the city ball square, and steps taken to meet the Lake Shore people and the count) on the toad proposition through Springvilie. We don't desire to be placed in the role of public grumbler, but will promise our new council that we will not be neutral In municipal affairs. If we see any of them derelict in their duties we Intend to tell them of it without fear or favor, and in all cases giving them all the opportunity to "kick back" on their version of any matter pertaining to public interest. Both political parties in the East are pretty generally for gold mono-metalism, mono-metalism, and the press of that section sec-tion is united in its work against rJnancial liberty. We of the west are all In favor of the fr.io coinage of silver sil-ver at the ratio of 10 to 1; why can't we unite in furthering the cause of the white metal? In the effort to secure the free coinage party animations anima-tions must not be too strongly adhered ad-hered to; all men of the West should pledge themselves to vote for man for president wqo is know to .favor the free coiuage of silver, without regard to party. The Idea of working within with-in the party may be all right before the plattorm Is formed, but if the platform of your party does uot declare de-clare fur the "free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio irrespective irrespec-tive of International agreement," in your duty to yourself you ought to leave that party, and vote with, the party, whichever one it may bo, that has the courage to declare for finan cial and industrial liberty. !i' i L--."i . -i 1 m j Tins week may be seen the spec tacle of the various campaign sheets falling all over one another In their haste to suspetid publication.

Many whose occupations are of a sedentary or indoor character often have a feeling of being literally worn out, and begin to think of declining years, etc., when if they knew what ailed them, they would find all their troubles arise from an inactive liver and overworked kidneys. If when these spells come on the patient would take a short course of Dr. J. H. Mc Lean's Liver and Kidney lialm he would soon feel again the strength, vigor and buoyancy of youth.
