Where Reporter Gets the Worst Of ]

Where u Reporter Gets the Worst of 1t,
l sometimes think that the newspaper
reporter has little more to contend
with than almost any other man in bust
ness. Take the commercial drummer.
for instance. He goes into town to sell
goods. If he finds his man out Of sorts
all he has to do is to move on to some
other town and try another, or he can
wait for his customer to get in the prop
or mood. If the deal between two specu-
lators is of any moment the man who is
engineering the deal can maneuver it
according to circumstances. He may
wait until he gets his man down to a
dinner where the wine is flowing freely.
But the newspaper reporter must tackle
his man wherever he can find him. The
man may have had some terrible mis-
fortune, trouble, or a death in his fam
lily, or he may have just had an alfred
poor dinner. But that is none of the re-
porter's business. He goes at the man
with questions. He must tackle him
where he finds him. If the man has had
a smooth day Of it, all right and well.
But if he hasn't the reporter must get at
him in some way. In doing so he runs
the risk of making an enemy for life and
losing his reputation as an interviewer.
The commercial man has the time to
work his customer to the proper pitch.
The reporter must get his man instanter
no matter what obstacles are in the way.
