AS l walked out ! CHANGED to meet a
journalistic friend and he told me how
ably Paul Dana was filling the cloak left
vacant by his father; how he goes regu-
larly to the Sun office and works faith
fully, going to his home on Staten Island
late in the day. Like his father, he has
fads. Years ago Charles A. Dana had
trouble with a linotype machine man,
and in the heat of the argument Mr.. Dana
shouted:
mo linotype machine will ever work.
And no linotype machine has ever
workod-in the Sun office.
Pau Dana is a handsome man-indeed,
the Sun runs to good looking men-and,
like his father, he has a ondness for
young college graduates who will bring
fresh ideas into the sun office. He wants
the newest and brightest of everything,
and when he cannot get a good sporting
article he viii take a good animal story;
and to run a good animal story he will
leave out an account of the pope's latest
fainting spell. He has inherited his
fathers fad for ceramics, and he wor-
ships at the shrine of the orchid.
OF all the great New York owners there
is scarcely one who visits his newspaper
office more than once or twice a year,
and the humble contributor must trust
his manuscript to the more or less tender
mercies of the editor in charge.

SEEING THE WORLD EDITOR.
With this bit of laconic insight into the
Herald's editorial policy firmly tucked
away in my brain, 1 took the next Sixth
avenue cable car to go down to the office
of the New York World.
And here my difficulties began. I could
not reach the Sunday editor. When
Joseph Pulitzer began his editorial policy
10 years ago of encouraging the public to
visit the World office he scattered seeds
of trouble which he has never been able
to uproot. l u waiting for the editor

sessed; | found in the ante-room persons
who had grievances against the city gov
ernment: others who desired information
as to the whereabouts of special hospitals.
And croWding everybody were persons
who wanted to go up into the dome of the
building.
l sent my card int to Irving Bachelor,
the Sunday editor. The boy came back
and said:
NJ Bachelor will see you"
And IN another minute | found myself
in the presence of a newspaper man, who,
as the proprietor of a New York syndi-
cate. was famous the world around.
Mr.. Bachelor is a good looking man,
probably older than he looks, for he could

time" said the man in the lunchroom,
when I begin to meet my wife down
town in the afternoons, and we take
walks. Then, just when there are q
whole lot of people passing by that I
know, she takes a stand before a window
where there are spring suits for men on
exhibition, all of them marked $6.39, and
points out the ones that she thinks would
about match my complexion. It's a dead

you've got to stand for those things"

I went up one flight of stairs and was
there directed toward a door which led
into a small room, inside of which was
another door leading to a still smaller
room beyond. In the room beyond sat a
tall, blonde young man in his Shirt sleeves.
He was apparently 30 years old, and
while I stood looking at him he busily
scratched way upon q sheet of common
copy paper.

And while I rode uptown I recalled all
that I had heard about this young man;
how he was born on the Pacific coast and
came east to go to Harvard; how he grad
uated some ten years ago and found him.
self again in his San Francisco home with
more millions than he could estimate
and with no way of getting rid of his
money except that of dissipation, which
is open to every young man of wealth.
He loved that branch of literature
known as journalism and decided to de-
vote himself to letters. Through his
wealth and the indulgence of his mother
he came into complete control of the San
Francisco Examiner, which he hanged SO
well that it became the talk of the west.
But California was too small to hold
this ambitious journalist who loved Moth
Ing as we'll as newspapers and who had
the money to crafty his ambition, and
three years ago he came to New York to
buy the New York Journal.
The Journal was at that time owned
by Albert Pulitzer, brother of Joseph
Pulitzer. Albert Pulitzer was in poor
health and the Journal was difficult to
manage, so that he readily sold 1t to
young Hearst for $500, 00G. When asked
why he chose a paper like the Journal,
Mr.. Hearst is said to nave replied:
II bought the Journal because it had
the largest circulation of any paper hat
was for sale. | could have taken a paper
of higher reputation, but with a poorer
circulation. But I preferred to take the
Journal with it's big circulation and run
the risk of living down whatever reputa-
ton it might nave had
And this he has done In three years
he has made the Journal a power and
forced other papers of Worldwide repu-
tation to the wall. While affecting to de-
spise his methods. they have first imi-
tated, then closely followed him. For
three years he has worked day and night,
taking s~carcely the recreation of a man
of trade. For a long time he lived in
lodgings on T~hirty-iifth street, and came
down town early and got home late. He
is said TO have fads and fancies. to be
the victim of this sensational person and
that; but it has been found in the long
run that there was method in all he
sought and all he did: and the method was
to make a better newspaper.
Not a less remarkable member of the
Hearst family is Mrs. Phoebe Hearst. the
| very youthful looking mother of her son.
Mrs. Hearst devoted her time last year
to an educational scheme in Washington.
This year she has been in Paris. giving
largely toward a benevolent educational
scheme there. She takes an active hand
in running the Journal, and has been
known to hire and discharge artists and
writers. An artist is often hired on the
Journal because Mrs. Hearst likes his
work"

When Begging Was a Capital onense.

When Begging Was a Capital Onense.
The laws in the days of Henry VIII.

beggars, and, under a statute passed
in that reign, any one caught begging

nor infirm, was whipped at the carts

was slit, or bored through with a hot
iron. If caught a third time, he SUI

entering into a bond .of 910. So the
law of England remained for sixty
years. First. enacted by Henry VIII, it
continued unrepealed through the
reigns Of Edward and Mary. Reconsid-
cred under Elizabeth, the same law
was again formally passed, the two
legislative houses thereby expressing
their conviction that it vas better for
a man not to live at all than to live the
life Of q .beggar.
