An objection to signed articles is that
nearly one-half of the newspaper men do but
very little writing. The problem is; How
shall these men get credit for their work. l
mean, of course, credit outside the office. A
man does get credit in the Office, whether he
signs or not The main advantage in sign
ing is in having it known that you are the
author. The first article being good, by gen
eral sympathy people will more readily read
the second one over your signature, and your
value increases, of course if you do good work.
But when a man writes an article on plan
mapped out for him, using ideas furnished
by a man who sits in the office and never gets
any public credit, what can be done to
equalize the thingf If anybody can devise
the means by which that man can get credit
outside the office, l should like to hear it

The typawriting stenographers who have
stands at the various leading hotels don't
make such bad thing out of their business,
though, as a matter of fact, they seldom
seem to be employed. One Of these chaps,
who works in a well known hotel up Broad
way has made as much as $4O0 a month at
this sort of work, and his income has very
seldom gone below 500 monthly. In a city
where one can engage any earthly quantity
of thoroughly competent stenographers at
from $l5 to Sl9 a week that looks like pretty
fair business, doesn't it, OF course hotel
shorthand mans outfit costs him something
like $50 to start with, and that fact doubt
less keeps good mauy Of them from trying
to get valuable stands in the principal hotels.

Not a Good Juror.

A man whose sole duty in life is to obey
orders does not make good nor fair juror.
He does not know how to weigh evidence as
the mechanic, or tho blacksmith, or the
skilled laborer does. He is not accustomed to
exercising his own Judgment Somebody
else has been doing the most of his thinking.
And if he entertains doubt about anything
he naturally looks to the man in power to set
him right. That comes to be instructive in
him as a result of his business education. Of
course the states attorney or his representa-
tive is looked upon by man like this as the
agent of all that is good and just. The law
yer for the poor scamp who has gotten into
trouble is an enemy of society. Tho trouble
with many of our juries is that they are not
impartial, because they fall into way of re-
garding themselves as a corps of assistants to
the prosecutor and the state.-Chicago Her
