interviewing.

interviewing is an application Of, and is
justified by, the axiom that the shortest dis
lance between two given points is In a
straight line. Newspapers n-e published to
furnish information. Information doesn't
seek them; they have 10 seek it. Interview
ing Is Just as necessary to get news" as IL is
10 get views" interviewing began with
the publication OF the first newspaper. But
II took newspaper publishers some time 10
find out that the public is about as much in
terested In what people OF note think about
what is going on as In what Is going on.
They are only just finding this out in Eng
land
about persecution by the interviewer. II a
man doesn't want TO be interviewed, all he
has 20 do Is TO say no" and stick To Il, and
that settles IL. There are many people who
like TO see their opinions in print, but they
don't wish 10 have It appear that they seek
publicity for them. Even the most conceited
and egotistical of men desire "A reputation for
modesty. / once Travelled fifty miles 10 inter
view an ex-governor who had requested that
n reporter I've sent 10 interview him But the
inter lew was not prefaced by the statement
that EEK Governor - sent for a reporter TO
interview him" On the contrary, 1t was pre-
coded by the observation that the reporter
had sought Ex-Governor - and that he IRE
luctantly consentedn 70 give his views, etc
There Is good deal OF humbug In this world,
and reporter sees rather more OF il than
most people. But, Of course the sort OF no
toriety seekers above referred tn constitute
but small minority OF those who get inter

Underground Wafer In Australia.

The future Of Australia for the next thirty
years will rest with the engineers The re-
cent discoveries 81 underground rivers in the
most arid portions Of the continent have given
these words a greater significance. The diff
Guilty Of Australia has always been the fear
that the land will not support large popu-
lation. These discoveries Of water dispel that
fear. IL now appears that the volumes of
rain whsrh fall about once In i've years over
the greater part OF the Australian continent,
covering with food the plains which for four
years previously have not known more moist
ure than might be given in England by good
fall Of dew, find their way through tn. por-
Gus soil into channels and chambers beneath
the surface, where, at a depth of 90 or
ZOO feet, they provide an inexhaustible store
OF the most precious commodity known 10 the
Australian squatter. IL is only to be
expected that more water l. brought to
the surface the clouds will take up more
moisture by evaporation, and the rainfall
will increase. Then, with regular rainfall
and texhaustiblo tanks and creeks, even the
Australian squatter might begin to he con-

Beggs paid brief visit 10 his cell To gather
up some trinkets he hal thore, and then he
hurried down TO the Office where he signed a
book that was placed before him A moment
later he was literally in the hands Of his
friends As Beggs crossed the Jail yard a
little man ran forward 10 meet him The
greetings that were exchanged were very

story Of DR. Cronin's alleged presence in a
North Clark street grip car Murphy
caught Bcggs' arm and hurried him through
thewaiting, gaping crowd to carriage that
was standing at the curb Of the walk
Harry Jordan, whose connection with the
defense movement has always been promi-
nent, helped Beggs into the carriage Law
yer Foster took a seat beside his client and
then Murphy and Jordan and Lawyer
Ames piled in Unfortunately and signed

proceeded to the office of Murphy a. Ames

There was little time to say anything to

Il did not. That all originated with the
newspapers will tell you honestly that II
the prosecution had left camp ~ alone. and

This remark Occssioned some surpri-. among
the dozen OF so reporters who were standing

do you mean by THAR"
Il mean just what ! said, that they should
have looked somewhere else for the head OF
