The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1895-01-20

! flor few days ago at the doors of the Berkly
I hotel, and while Mr.. Rogers stood braced up
/ against its doors, Mr.. Editor. gave him a rak-
/ ing over which were not heard of, for many
/ day
| The remarks were brief and TO the point,
| that were made to Mr.. Rogers in person, but
I yet he SCENES very loyal in his estimation upon
| his acts TO the world at large. Yet il will be
/ well for him not to intrude upon younger men
I who are III a position a little lower than him
| self, who do not do the monkey as he does nor
to think, no man can be as good as he whom
he is such prominent man IN the eyes OF Ju-
1ious Caesar, but he must learn one thing, not to
triftie with Editors for they men who have
q great deal TO contend with III the eyes of the
world to such extent that the public look
upon as brain power and keen intilect, more
than upon him who is a business manager of
the slurs upon Editors and forgetting to send
a complimentary ticket to that high and noble
sart of home talent of 'Julious Cesar.
My business is an extensive one, which is
growing gradually with the probability in
time to rank higher in its self than any high
profession of its line. Not that we take any ex-
ception to any other line of professional work,
nor do clei-n to know all kinds of business,
for this is needless for me to state. But do
say never let Mr.. Rogers trampla on an noble
brain above his own, nor even to pretend TO
send a ticket to Editors Of any kind and then
don't do it, for it is worse than dose of medi-
cine.
Now, the facts are that Mr.. Rogers is
not that kind of a man at all. L know
him and see him often while in my
mountain home, and 1 say that it is IN
fair to use the columns of a newspaper
to injure him and ruin him right there
where he is best known.
The never dying truth is that the very
e D. Il = l.
unjust and vituperative, but toxic and
parabolical. No one can realize more
than Mr.. Rogers the power of the press.
Yet he does not fear it, knowing that
he is right
Mr.. Rogers would no more trample
on IAN noble brain above his own" than
YOU or /. He hates TO trample on such
things anyway and track them around
over his Office when he wants to keep 1t
neat and tidy, and trampling on brain
that was above his own is a thing that
be has not done for years.
He feels the same about IAN unknown
hand that was not there" He would
not trample on that either, and he wants
ii generally understood that he is a ten
der hearted man and fond of little chill
dren and pets.
The editor, of course, pays high trib-
ute to journalism, its brain power and
keen intellect, but he forgets that Mr..
Rogers feels the same toward Journal
ism, and he had no idea that his failure
to reach the editor with a ticket would
make his life such a blank. Mr.. Rogers
is Of a CHEEKY, bright disposition, but
since the above attack he can not fight
down feeling of extreme sadness. He
says that the performance Of Julius
Caesar" was not given TO make money,
except for some worthy enterprise. de
did not even get ticket himself or any
pay for his time nor even draw half pay
as pantata of Rome for the evening, and
so far as the above roast Is concerned 1t
viii not impair his future Julius Cesar
business, as he does not contemplate re-
peating the performance. but II Is per-
sonaliy unpleasant 10 be hauled up be-
fore the public in the editorial columns
of paper and things said about him
which he does not understand
Mr. Rogers goes about day after day
now with copy Of The Cleaner IN has
hand and pencil trying 20 figure out
whether he is insulted OF not
Meeting Mr.. Hezekiah Gudger the
other day, Mr.. Rogers said: Excuse
me, but have you got few weeks con-
versation that you could spare mef
want you 10 parse that first sentence and
tell me Il ever. since came 70 this town
BIZ word or deed, have been that kind
OF man. F"
Heretofore The Cleaner had never
