Said an experienced newspaper
man the other day, to CONNER
cial Appeal reporter:
Talk about the ingratitude of re.
publics; it can not compare with
that of newspapers. The old gov
ernment mule Dan was ordered
shot recently after forty years of
hard service. You notice that there
are very few old mer in the busi.
ness. There is Dana and a few
Others, perhaps, but they hold POI
sltlons by virtue of their invest
ments IN the business. A man NAV

the journal with which he il identi.
fed-the best years, physically and
mentally-and when he gets lit
tie old he is turned out. He is not
exactly shot like old Dan-but he
II fired which is but little better.
! wish we had some way of PEN
sloning the aged journalists, as the
Methodists pension their aged
preachers. But l suppose they and
the poets and the mules will have
to be content with the manner of
their going. There seems to be no
other method of disposing of them.,'

The papers seem to be unit on
the statebouse question, and what
is still better, they are backed by
public sentiment. Any candid per.
son who views the old rattle-trap
at Jackson will say that a new cap
itol building is an actual necessity.
So much has been said about the
unsafe condition of the present
capitol, that hundreds Of women

stant state or uneasiness when their
loved ones assemble In jackson to
