Journalistic Rewards.

Considering the value of money with
regard to most things in Finland, the
pay of Finnish journalists is not bad
Thus the editor in chief of a prosperous
Helsingfors daily receives 1900 marks
or about $1,000. Other members of the
staff receive from 5000 to 5000 marks.
1t would be impossible to get men who
could read and write several languages
to serve as newspaper men here for
such pay. But that is another matter.
Though some things cost more in Fin
land than here, almost everything essen
tial to life there is sold at figures which
would be simply amazing for their cheap
ness here.
1t is perhaps largely because of the lin
quail requirements of newspaper work in
Finland that nearly all the newspaper
writers and editors are university men.
This term means more there than here.
not because the relative number of gradu-
ates there is smaller than herein fact, il
is larger-but chiefly because the courses
OF study there are longer and the rules
or the university stricter than in most
institutions bearing that name here. In
TINS country the term university is ap-
piled to many schools that, though excel
lent IN plan and scope, are not universe
ties by any means and should be called
colleges. The University of Helsingfors
though not the most famous institution
OF learning in the world, is celebrated
for the breadth of its courses and the
thoroughness OF its instruction.
Another interesting thing about the
higher education in Finland is the num-
Der OF women students. OF about 1900
students all told at Helsingfors UNIVERSE
~ nearly 400 are women, who enjoy vir-
tually all the privileges conferred upon
the men. This is said to be a much lar
ger proportion of woman students than
exists anywhere ON the face of the earth.
except in America, where the higher
education of women is supposed to lead
the world. DEXTER MARSHALL.

OF LOCAL INTEREST.
Nominated for state Senator.

The Cleveland, Ohio, Leader of a recent
date has the following in regard to a
brother of Mrs. Henry Campbell, who Is
also a half brother OF Mrs. John O'Neil
and a brother-in-law OF Mrs. George B.
White:
"As a member of the school council
Fred @. Elmer, one of the two Republican
candidates for the state senate from Cuya-
hogo county, has demonstrated to the peo-
pie Of Cleveland that they made no mis-
take when they first elected him to that po-
sition several years ago.
"Mr. Elmer has been engaged in bust
ness on the West side for a number of
years. When elected member of the
school council he carried his business tact
with him, conducting the councils affairs,
so far as he was concerned, In business
like manner.
"Mr. Elmer is about As years old. He
was born In Brattleboro, VT, coming from
good old Puritan stock. He settled on the
west side of the river more than 20 years
ago. He never asked for nor held public
Office until he became connected with the
public schools.
"About six weeks ago he was mentioned
In the Leader as a candidate for the posi-
ton of state senator. He declined at the
time TO seek the nomination. On the day
prior TO the closing of the McKlsson- He oil
comb books Mr.. Elmer started on a trip
down the st. Lawrence. Some of his
friends were of the opinion that Mr.. Elmer
wonld be a receptive candidate and that
the fact that he had not registered with
the McKisson- Holcomb committee was
simply an oversight. They therefore reg
istered his name by proxy. Mr. Elmer, in
blissful ignorance of what was going on in
Cleveland. arrived home from his trip Sat
urday TO find that he had been nominated
No canvass had been made for the posi-
ton, but despite this Mr.. Elmer polled a
surprisingly large vote and secured the
nomination"

seized his gun by the muzzle and pushed it
from him. The hammer struck a stone

Finnish journalism.

Finnish journalism is much different
from journalism in America, yet, consid-
ering the limited population of Finland
compared with that of the great republic
of the west, the difference is not alto
gether discredtable to the former coun-
try. Its population is not much, If any,
more than $500, 000-more than 100000
less than that of the Greater New York
and the population OF Helsingfors, me-
tropolis and capital, is only about $4,000.
Yet there are in Helsingfors five dailies
and, including them, about 100 newspa-
per and periodical publications all told.
Mr.. Jalkanen was a staff attache of a
paper whose name, as nearly as il may
be given in unaccented type. is Paivale-
lete, or Daily News. Like an American
newspaper, The Paivalelete maintains a
staff of reporters as well as editors, but
less attention is given in its columns to
detailed local reports than would be
thought necessary here. Correspondents
are also maintained at every important
point in the country, and there is, Of
course, a carefully managed editorial de-
partment. One of the most important
departments in the office OF every Fin
nisb journal is that devoted to foreign
news. This was always the case, but
since the present policy on the part of
Russia was taken up it has been doubly
so. Finlanders are still interested in
home news. but naturally intelligence
from outside is now Of the very first ne
cessity.

PoIyEIot Journalism.


1t will be understood readily in the cir.
cumstances that Finnish newspaper writ
ers and editors must be proficient in more
than one language. AS matter of fact,
six are indispensable to all but the purely
local reporters, who may possibly get
along with three-Finnish, Scandinavian
and Russian. French, German and Ital-
ian are positively necessary to those en-
gagged in general newspaper work, and
while English is not insisted upon abili-
ty 10 read and write this language is of
great help.
1t should be added that knowledge of
the Russian and Scandinavian tongues
in addition to their own is not unusual
is, in fact, almost essential-among Firms
of all classes, since there are many Rus
slams in Finland and many more Scandi-
navians, mostly Swedes. knowledge of
the other three languages mentioned is
necessary TO the newspaper man gener-
ally because the majority of the newspa-
pers going to the desks of the Finnish
exchange editors are printed in these Ian
guages, and, owing to the strict censor
ship maintained over the dispatches by
the Russians, most of the foreign news
must be taken from the papers. The ma
jor part of what telegraphic news is re-
NCANNA 10 ulSllAbulGu through al agency
somewhat similar to our own Associated
Press. The special dispatch is not un-
known, but neither special nor general
dispatches can get tp a newspaper in the
form they are sent unless agreeable to
the Russian authorities. Moreover, the
entire spirit of the service is pro-pan-
Slavic and anti-Finnish, as has been
shown in curious way. Over and over
again dispatches announcing certain de-
velopments as having occurred and GER
tain measures as having been applied
have been received by the Finnish news
papers several days in advance of the
ordered progress of events. This is bad
enough, but the Firms are most annoyed
by the nature of the news about Finland
sent out through the same agency. Nat
urally everything which reaches the out
side through the telegraph is distorted
and entirely misleading.

He Has Come 10 America to study
the ething About the
Newspapers and Newspaper Men of
Finland.
New YORK, Sept. q. - [Special.] -
Aaron Jalkanen is one of the more re-
cent arrivals on American soil. He is a
broad shouldered chap Of medium height,
and he has the fair hair and complexion
of most persons born in Finland, his ma
tive land. His age is %, and by profess
sion he is a newspaper writer, having
taken up the journalistic calling imme-
diately after his graduation from the
Finnish university at Helsingfors.
His object in coming to America, where
he will remain for at least year, is to
perfect himself in spoken English - he
reads and writes the language with ease
already-to study the condition of his fell
low countrymen here and to spy out the
land generally. He is not the agent Of
any person or organization, but will sup
port himself while here corresponding for
various Finnish newspapers and period
icals. Possibly he may settle here even
tually, though that is a matter for future
consideration altogether
