II have seen many cases where

the press rooms
below the subway the papers can be
hoisted up and loaded for uptown or
downtown in a jiffy. Above the sub
way tunnel are the mechanical depart
ments; the printing and editorial
rooms are as usual 20 stories away,
and all between are offices to help pay
the bills.
The Herald is the sharpest contrast
to the others. Its building, occupying
an entire block and only three stories
high, is one of the architectural orna-
ments Of the city. 1t is built upon
leasehold property. Some one asked
Mr. Bennett why he put up SO hne q
structure upon land that he did rot
own and could not long control.
What do l care what becomes OF 1t
in so years." was the not unreasonable
remark of the bachelor owner.
The uptown newspaper row will soon
be increased by Mr.. Hearst. who plans
to put up building on the edge OF
Central park, fully five miles from the
post Office. This site is above the rail-
road stations, above every site that has
been suggested for the new post office,
and most critics say that 1t really Is
''too far uptown" though that cry has
been raised before.
Frank Munsey may follow the exam
pie of Mr.. Hearst and seek an uptown
site for the Daily News. Though he
has made something of a mess OF 1t
thus far, he sticks to the idea OF max
ing a great daily out Of 1t.
OF the slap-bang methods Of great
editors of the modern school" they
tell good one on Mr.. Munsey. The
News was an afternoon paper, in the
old days the organ of Tammany Hall
and once the leading newspaper in New
York as to circulation. Without warn
ing Mr. Munsey changed it to a morn
ing paper, bold step. greatly increas-
ing the expense and the difficulty Of
making both ends meet. Late the first
night Mr.. Munsey went to the tele-
phone and called up the Associated
Press Office to ask why he was not get
ting any press dispatches.
why, Mr.. Munsey, you have no
franchise for morning paper. We
cannot send you any dispatches"
It had never occurred to Mr.. Munsey
to inquire into this little matter. Nor
to this day does the News get the "A.
P. stuff" as it is irreverently called for
short.

have paid heavily for protection" but
they have received It and run in open
violation of the law and public senti-
ment. Now public sentiment is to have
the upper hand for time, at least. and
the red lights of the levee districts are
to be extinguished.
It is toe much to say that Chicago ID
to be q clean city. From the political
standpoint that is an impossibility. The
reform administration Of New York did
not entirely cleanse the city. It bet
tered conditions; it did not receive pay
for protecting vice; but that was all.
Mayor Harrison now proposes to con-
line the vicious element to three clearly
defined sections of the city. It is not a
nice way to put it, but it is practical.
The administration that attempts to
close up the dens of iniquity entirely
would not last long in cosmopolitan
city. The mayor is practical, and knows
this, though he incurs the enmity Of the
sentimental class in society when he
says SO.
Another thing which the graft" In
yestigating committee has done. It
has published to the world the fact that
much Of the vice of the city is harbored
under roofs owned by the so-called re-
spectacle element. That will do more
than anything else towards cleansing
the city. Social ambition will force
these men to find different class Of
tenants for their buildings.

these schools are crowded throughout
the year, and are annually turning out
thousands of graduates to begin the
struggle for supremacy in their chosen
professions To them come all classes
Of humanity at all ages. 1t Is not an
unusual thing to find gray-haired man
studying medicine beside the youth OF
20. Nor are they patronized only by the
well-to-do. The poor classes of the for,
-eign element are sending hundreds OF
boys into them, seeking a training that
will give them place in society ahead
Of that occupied by their parents. The
instilling of American ideas into the
head of the man from Europe has given
him new ambitions for his family. He
is not willing that his son should fol-
low SO closely in his footsteps as he
did in his fathers. The philosophy that
taught the shoemaker to stick to his
last has been swallowed up by ambi-
ton.
Another thing which tends to I'LL the
schools for professional training is the
tendency of the labor organizations to
limit the number of apprentices in the
trades. Employers of union labor are
no longer permitted to employ as many
boys as they wish, but must limit the
number of boys according to the num-
Der of men employed. For example,
in the printing trades there must be
but one boy for each five men. A large
part Of the unions also insist upon des-
ignating the apprentices. The glass
blowers are a notable example OF this
the members OF this organization Sc
lecting as apprentices boys from their
own families.

in corporation work may have q golden
future before him. and again his spe-
cializing may wait for years for profita-
BILE clients. The trial court lawyer with
an income above $1,000 a year is rather
q rarity.
This lack of earning capacity in the
professions is forcing men out Of them
into commercial callings of a semipro-
fessional nature. Their professional
training has given them polish that Is
valuable in other lines.
One minister that know Of preached
for ten years, and never received more
than 81 900 year. To-day he is writing
life insurance, and his income will av-
erage close to SIC. 900 yearly. Practical
" every life assurance company doing
business in Chicago has among its
agents one o. more ex-ministers. Law
yers and doctors who have tired Of the
struggle in their professions have taken
to the same or similar lines.
Grain and stock brokerage is another
favorite field for men who have left tho
professions. One man, graduate of
Harvard and postgraduate OF Yale
law school, made o speciality of board Of
trade cases, and devoted two years to
this special field. To-day he has for
saken the law for the board of trade COM
mission business, and his income is now
three times what it was as a lawyer.
To sum the whole thing up in a few
overcrowded, while the commercial
lines are securing the streets for men OF

TELEPHONES CONSOLIDATE

Crop Conditions are Good and Farmers are
Looking for acknowledgement Tele-
phone Lines will Consolidate.
G.. s. Puntney, of Lookout, is in the
city today and when seen by TELLER
representative he stated that the crops
around Lookout were fine and the pros
poets for good prices made the farmer
smile. A large number of farmers have
left that condition which compelled them
to keep heavy mortgages over their
places, having paid off all Indebtedness
with the returns from crops the last SIX
years and are now looking for paying IN
yestments outside of the fine farms
which they own. "A country shows
prosperous condition, says MIR. Puntney,
sswhen the farmer owns his property.
The agricultural lands in those condi-
tions are not liable to tall into the hands
of large corporations. Almost all OF
the lands sold on the reservation have
been purchased by neighbors who were
some years ago unable to put up shacks
on their claims without mourning debt.
'.The farmers of my section have been
interested in two local projects. One is
the tramway at Summit and the other IS
the Lockout telephone exchange. The
Summit tramway is we'll under way.
The lumber has been hauled and the car
penters are at work on the approaches
and supports. Word has been received
from the east stating that the machinery
has been shipped from the factory and
will arrive in about two weeks. After 1t
/ has come the cable and hooks will be put
In place. This will require about three
weeks.
"The telephone operations have been
at standstill for some time as Rev. w.
f. Schnebly, president of the Lookout
ont telephone system. is director in the
Summit tramway company and his at
tention has been absorbed by that pro-
iect. However, since that business is well
under way Mr.. Schnebly is again work
ing ON the telephone line and the extern
tensions will be pushed on to lilo and
Dublin. A line will also be built between
Lookout and Kendrick. The farmers on
Nezperce prairie already have an extern
sive barb wire exchange and the farmers
around Moscow are building an exchange
that will include almost all of the
farmers If that section. A plan
Is now on foot to consolidate
all Of these independent lines for the
purpose of reducing the expense OF
having so many managers and also to
give the patrons great deal better ser
vice without SO much charge. When
this scheme is consummated the Lookout
line will be extended from Kendrick TO
Moscow
When asked about the report that a
snow and freeze occurred on the high
plateau lands Wednesday night that in
iured the crops materially which has
been circulated on the streets, Mr..
Puntney denied the statement saying
that he had never known when the crops
had looked better throughout the whole
of Nez Pelce county.
