changing every day. Today war is the
foremost topic, next week the Klondike
will be at the front again, and little
later it may be that yachting or base
ball will be the all-absorbing theme.
Suddenly. in the fall, the scenes will
shift. and politics will be the staple
news OF the day.
Hence il follows that a newspaper
writer who aims to rise to any of the
higher editorial positions must have q
wide range, not only of information,
but of sympathy. He must be able to
know something of a great many things
rather than to know any one thing
profoundly. He must be able to switch
his train of thought from one track to
another suddenly, and to throw his
pen with something like equal intelli-
gence and spirit upon half dozen diff
ferent subjects within the same week.
1t follows, therefore, that success as a
writer for the daily press will be great
ly helped by wide rather than deep
reading. / do not mean by this 20 say
that the writing journalist should know
"a little of everything and nothing
much but only to say that if he is
deeply read and thoroughly informed
on one topic only-say on politics, for
eXample-he will never achieve success
as an all-round newspaper man.
/ think no young man contemplating
a career as a reporter and editor will
make any mistake in laying founda-
ton by course of reading which will
acquaint him, first, with the history of

the journalistic temperament" There
is such a thing as ''the nose for news"
by which term is meant quick, prac-
ticaIly instantaneous appreciation of
what is news. and how much value one
piece of news has when compared with
another piece of news that comes in at
the same time. This faculty of know
ing what news is, and of weighing it's
relative value and Importance is close
ly allied to another equally necessary
namely, the faculty of seeing where a
good piece of news can be dug out and
brought to the surface right in the nick
of time. when it is most interesting and
valuable. l am inclined to think that
this gift of news-hunting is born with
some men, and that they make the best
Journalists in the reportorial and edi-
torial sense. And if this gift is not a
part of the young mans natural equip
ment, if he does not have a keen and
all-alive sympathy with the events of
the day, as they present themselves
every morning and evening, then 1 adj
wise him to try some other occupation;
for l doubt if the gift is ever acquired
by any amount of industry, when the
man is not naturally built that way.
1t requires very broad and compre-
hensive mental taste to be an efficient
member of staff of newspaper writ
ers. Men whose minds naturally tend
to some one line of thought should
avoid the newspaper field, because a
newspaper is a kaleidoscope, in which
the topics to be written about are

pie and obtain from them the assist

/ do not know that 1 can say any
thing more of practical value to young
men who intend to try their chances
on the reportorial and editorial side of
journalism. I may add. however, that
the same solid qualities of character
which help men to success in other
fields of work will help them in this.
The man of good habits, who keeps
his head clear. his stomach sound, and
his general health good, will have at
least three chances of success to
every one that the man who is physi-
cally unfit will have. Newspaper work
is arduous and exacting, and if any
young man is thinking of a newspaper
career as an easy and gentle occupa-
ton into which he will not need to put
as much hard labor, both physical and
mental, as into any other, advise him
to keep out of it altogether, for he is
entirely mistaken.

SUCCESS IN JOURNALISM.
ne Journalistic Temperament and the "NOse for News
Are Two Essentials

How to succeed in life is a very hard
question to answer think that hard
work has been the chief reason for
success in the lives of most men and
women Good looks, attractive man
ners, circumstances, friends-each or
iii may help in the battle of life, but
earnest. honest, hard work secures
most OF the results. There may be
such a thing as luck in the world, but
/ have noticed that as a rule the peo-
pie who do the fighting, the workers
who are struggling early and late to get
ahead and make progress are those
who find what luck there is. The man
or woman who waits for luck TO come
to him or her VIII be sadly disap-
pointed.
The best rule for success in life that
have ever found is to do a little more
than IS expected of you.
Whatever your position in life may
be. whether in an office, factory, store
or workshop, under any and all circum-
stances, do a little more than is eX-
peeted of you, and you will never be
overlooked, be the establishment large
or small. 1t is the people who begin
about noon to look at the clock and
commence to feel afraid that they will
not be washed up" and dressed and
ready to rush through the door at the
exact minute when the clock strikes
or the bell rings who usually fail to
win any success.
In my own case, I owe nv entrance
into Journalism wholly to the fact that
l was industrious and willing q work.
1 naturally had that ambition, hence l
90 not state it as quality for which I
am entitled to any great credit. I was
Employed as a boy in an office where l
nad very little to do, and got very lit
de for it, to-wit. 81. so a week. A school
how friend of mine of yH1-l- in a
Boston newspaper office, where he had
10 work through the day and four
nights in the week until 10 or II o'clock
For this service he was receiving SO
per week. AS he was always groaning
because he was oVerworked, and l was
complaining because ] did not have
enough to do, I proposed to him that
we exchange places. L introduced him
10 the firm for which / worked and
then went and applied for his position,
and secured it. 1 was willing to work
TO get on, and he was not. I worked
long hours then, and did for many
years afterwards. For all kinds of
success, one has to pay a price equal
to the result. AT one time, for a period
of more than five years 1 worked in
my present office from $50 am till
1850 pm. without a single vacation.
Perhaps the reader may get an i'm
preston that 1 am pressing home this
point about work a little too strongly,
but it is the basis of substantially all
of the success which has been achieved
by men and women in all lines of life
and in all positions of power and in
huence from the beginning of the
world
One of the most successful men I !
have ever known won his position and
a large fortune because he possessed a |
certain quality which would have at
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-05-01

| tanned success in any profession or oc-
cupation. He possessed industry, am
bition, he was economical, he was hon.
est and truthful, and he was always
| just and helpful to others.
To succeed in journalism one needs
about the same qualities that are re-
| quired in the other professions, or most
/ any kind of business. Men who are
| born journalists, like those who are
! born physicians, or poets, or preachers,
! or mechanics, or great traders, ind 1t
much easier to succeed than men who
have not great natural aptitude. Jour
nalism offers three distinct careers, a
literary, a business and a mechanical.
Men can be trained for either of these
| divisions. The measure Of success
which can be secured depends upon the
ambition, the industry and the lighting
qualities of the individual. There is no
royal road to success. 1t is hard to tell
exactly what special lines of study and
| investigation are required for each of
these divisions. Men who have natural
qualities and special tastes will easily
excel in that for which they are best
fitted. The ablest and most successful
men and women will work out their
salvation in their particular field.
I might sum it all up by saying, as
Rudyard Kipling said the other day in
reply to a question by a young author
as to what he should do to succeed
Keep on trying till you either fail or
succeed"
1t may be, however, that when was
asked to write this article on How to
Succeed as a Journalist it was eX-
pected that would give some practical
hints to that large class of young |
Americans whose ambition it is to be- /
come efficient writers for the daily |
press, and eventually graduate to edi- |
torial positions. That is, to be sure, I
Or1lX hr.an oh Of licr7 Int
doubt it is the one that it most at |
tractive to young men just starting out I
in life. To such young men / may offer, ,
perhaps, a few helpful suggestions.
To begin with, a young man who I
proposes to enter the wide, yet keenly |
competitive, field of reportorial and |
editorial work for the daily press, will 1
do well to be quite sure that he has an
aptitude for such work. It is true of /
every profession and trade that some |
men who are in it are particularly we'll /
fitted for its duties, while others are
not quite so well fitted, and still others
are not fitted at all. There is doubtless
a place for every willing and capable
man somewhere in the busy world, but
1t is also true that many men never find
the place which is truly theirs. Henry
Ward Beecher once remarked that a
large part of the misery in the world
was due to the fact that too many
square men were in round holes, and
vice versa, and that he had known
many poor musicians who might have
made very superior carpenters.
The idea that l wish to convey is
that the highest success as a reporter
or editor is not to be hoped for by any
man whose temperament and abilities
are not well suited to the peculiar work
which newspaper reporters and editors
have to do. There is such a thing as

THE STORM YESTERDAY.
lightning struck venabIe-st. Baptist
Church. But Did Little Damage.

Richmond was visited yesterday after
noon by terrific thunderstorm, and
while the lightning flashed and the
thunder roared and the wind for a time
blew great guns. comparatively little dam
age was done in the city.
The storm came as a verihcation Of the
representation Of Farmer Evans, and
swept over the city with great velocity.
II came from the West, but seemed TO
reserve it's fury for Church Hill. A
bolt OF lightning struck the roof OF the
Yenable-Street Baptist church and tore
two holes in IL and shattered a chimney.
doing. all told. about 500 damage. The
interior OF the church was not damaged.
Persons in the neighborhood. who saw
the bolt descend upon the church. say 1t
seemed TO envelop the sanctuary in a
sheet Of flame. The peal of thunder
which followed Immediately upon the
fash was terrific and deafening. and
though no one was shocked, many said
that they felt cold chills run down their
backs.
on Jefferson Park the wind blew down
a tree and this, coming in contact with
lot of fire alarm wires. caused some
little damage, though the injury was re-
paired promptly. The telephone and tele-
graph companies report no damage to
their wires.
Farmer Evans promises another storm
for to-day, but says the temperature will
be slightly cooler this morning This.
at least is refreshing. for yesterday was
one of the hottest days Of the summer.
The thermometer ranged in the nineties
during almost the entire forenoon, but
after the storm the temperature was
considerably reduced.
