York's great millionaires
Mr.. Pulitzer was a boy when he en-
listed in the union army in the war
At its close he had hardly dollar. He
dlifted to ST. Louis, studied law, be-
came a member of the legislature,
where he won reputation as a reform
er, and for time served as a Wash
ington correspondent. A chance com
ing to buy for "a few hundred dollOys
the Westliche Post, a struggling Ger
man paper he merged it with the Dis
patch. The new paper was success
from the start, and enabled Mr.. Pulitzer
to come to New York little later and
buy the World, then paper of small
circulation.
The owner of the World has been
called hard names and caricatured in
gross fashion, but more honest and
devoted man does not live. He is deep
ly in earnest, thoroughly independent
in politics and willing to go against
public opinion when he is sure he is
right. He is generous almost TO lavish
ness with those of his employees whom
he personally knows, though he does
not know one-tenth part of the 1900
men and women who work for him.
The annual turnover of his plant is over
100000. 1t costs nearly S1G0,0GO per
week, in other words, TO run his pa
pers. He Is supposed to be worth $2O,-
0O0,000 so that the combat with young
Mr.. Hearst. who has about that sum
to spend, with less experience to guide
him in its iudicious Investment, is by
no means one-sided.
OF course Mr.. Pulitzer, when he came
TO New York, was in the same position
as Mr.. Hearst more recently; he had TO
have good men and TO havethem quick
ly. To get them he had to pay well
for them. To this day editorial sal
aries are higher OIL the World, journal
and Herald by so per cent. or even more
than upon the older papers. But it will
frequently happen that a reporter will
do about as well on the more conserva-
tive sheets.

which is worth S3,O0O,0OO, Is a some
what similar case. Each of these pa
pers is sold at three cents, each has
strong editorial management, and each
is supposed to represent the wealthy
class in its own community, though this
is less true ofthe Eagle
Naturally, each is conducted by a
strong man. st. Clair McKelway, the
editor Of the Eagle. is a rival of Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew as public speaker. and
has a vast personal influence. lie is
paid no more than $4,000 per year--per-
haps not so much; but his place is de-
sirable for reasons other than the
money.
f. l.. Godkin, the veteran editor of
the Evening Post, is as badly hated in
New York as Mr.. Pulitzer, but he isn't
hated by the same people. Those who
abuse Mr.. Pulitzer most bitterly are the
men whom lie has eclipsed in the race
for journalistic success. The haters
of Godkin are the corrupt politicians
whom his vitriolic pen has fayed.
Godkin has no superior in the art OF
sitting at an ordinary-looking desk and
with an ordinary pen and paper giving
thieVing spokesman most eXtraordi-
nary scourging.
Mr.. Godlln has now retired from the
editorship OF the Post. II is understood
that he is writing his "reminiscences of
men and events for many years.

years ago.
Luck certainly favors the New York
newspaper man. A few years ago the
lavish expenditure Of Duke, the ciga-
rette man, and j. +. Knapp, of the great
Major-Knapp lithograph firm, upon the
Recorder-now dead-brought salaries
up sharply. Hardly had the effect OF
that competition passed away when the
journal, a sheet OF large circulation
but rather run down by its owners i'll
health, was bought by young Hearst,
son of the late California senator, who
in very short time, by the most lavish
use OF money, brought it up to a great
circulation. Again top prices were paid
for good writers and editors, many of
whom were canny enough not to en-
gage, even at the high rates offered,
without contracts for one, two or three
years. One man, Morrill, Goddard, now
Sunday editor of the journal, was cur
rently reported TO have thus signed a
contract for three years at $4,000 a
year. The fact was, Mr.. Hearst simply
had to have good men, and have them
right away, and that made wages high.
One result of this sharp advance was
a considerable influx o. men from Bos-
ton and Chicago, particularly the latter
city. A Chicagoan, Mr.. William Van
Benthuysen, formerly managing editor
Of the Chicago Tribune, is supposed to
get the highest salary paid in the United
States to any newspaper man VINO is
not part owner of his paper, Mr. Van
Benthuysen is supposed to get $25,OOO
per year from the New York World, yet
he is one Of the most simple and demo-
cratic Of men. Nobody thinks Of cali
ing him by any longer title than "Mr,
Van"
