JOURNALISM.

The THAMES (IsIs), AND "THE
TINES"
By ANNE MARIE PREscorr.

Inc urSt printed newspaper
was the Gazette of Nuremberg
1457. So Germany led the way
in journals. In 1922 appeared
the first regularly printed Eng
lish newspaper--the Weekly News.
Nothing can be finer than the
Revue des Deux Mondes. paris,
Rue Bonaparte, IT,"
Set the newspaper mark high,
with the Times, and the Tribune
of Greeley, the Transcript ofSBos-
ton, the Living Church of Chica
go, the Eclectic of Canada, the wit
of Jerrold, the fun of Punch;
anything and everything that
caters to "the true and the beauti-
full" Living water" in our lives
and in our Journalism.
We do not say because of our
few contributions, far from it!
that we think the BULLETIN, if
not the best newspaper in the
country, certainly as good as the
best; and we can prove it if neces-
sary. The tout ensemble of the
journal is, for small town, and
working under many "lets and
hindrances," fine. The whole
getup of the paper is good, and
makes for good.
We must say, we can't "abear"
a paper split open at the top.
There is to me certain charm in
cutting the leaves of my own new
volume; and in turning my
own newspaper inside out
and outside in for myself,
and no meddling of other
hands. 1t makes us not angry
but annoyed. Indeed, we have
never been "angry" but once in
these islands; and we are not over
that, quite, yet. 1t was when a
manuscript, on Literature, the
outcome of years of study, thought
and research was read, and then
stolen from the Gazette Office in
Honolulu, the latter part of last
year, aud destroyed. 1t had not
so much as a soupcon of island
affairs in it's lines excepting, per-
haps, a few words of humor. BY
any honest critic it would have
been put at $50. The world de
mands (even before printing was
thought outi and will have news
papers; and demoralized journal
is like putrid, stagnant water
sending out its stencil and fever
ish contagion into the world.
Let us twist them all to our
liking, and let that liking rest on
the, heights. Let us publish
what mankind is about, at
Its best not at its gutter end,
its "swipes" and its canaille.
Let us try to "level up" in all
of our work. See! here we are at
the termini of London and Great
Western, the London and South
eastern, the Great Eastern, the
Midland, and the London and
Blockwall.' l.'London on theThames.'
Oh, that we might live in London
for even one twelfth of one year!
But the dissatisfaction of the stay,
so short, would breed other de-
sires never to be gratified; and it
is better as it is-just Makapala
by the sea, Kohala.
When dear friend had spent
winter in London sight seeing,
he related to the writer his ex-
perience, from Gad's Hill to Rag
fair life at st. James, and life un-
der the bridges, and all the rest.
But he declared, he would be
never content until he could spend
two years more in that city; and
he thought in that time, if indus
trious, he could "get round" But,
death got round to him; and,
seemingly, bis work undone. My
friends make, with no certainty,
your plans for any London.
We may have had fairy god
mother at our birth. We believe
firmly that we did; but, she had
given everything away to other
babies Of our class, and come with
an empty basket; writing upon
the soles of our feet work" and
in the palms of our hands "pover-
ty," and went on her way with a
grim smile.
London, the world of "lettersr'
