The vast power and responsibility of
the newspaper reporter have never
been more strikingly shown than In
the recent career Of Capt. Bellairs." !"
This man, who Is charged by two
prominent newspapers, one Of which
employed him for a time. with being
former convict and professional
scamp, was in Cuba chief among the
men who made history by sending the
news. In the Philippines, as agent
of the Associated Press, he was for
two years practically the sole infor-
mant Of the American people upon the
results Of the momentous experiment
Of governing little brown men out
side Of the constitution" and by send
ing and coloring all the news from the
islands he no doubt contributed more
toward making public opinion on the
Philippine question than any other
man-except Mr.. Mckinley, the presi-
dent OF the United states.
Modern progress in the utilization OF
Journalism by great statesmen who
generally .denounce it has made the
authorized statement" the semi-au-
thorized statement and the mere feel

Europe most of the work Of diploma
cy and home politics: In this country
1t has evolved new scheme for ap-
pealing direct to public opinion which
has been we'll illustrated In President
Roosevelt's trip.
The reporters who have attended Mr..
Roosevelt to the happy-hunting
grounds have not really reported. his
speeches at all, though millions Of peo-
pie have so supposed. Every editor Of
New York newspaper having the As
ISOLATED. Press service had upon his
desk, before the president left Wash
ington, all the important speeches that
he has since made. They were all pre-
pared at the White House, carefully
printed in good type, closely revised
and put in proper numerical order.
It was Of course stipulated that no
newspaper should use any Of these
speeches until released" by the news
of its delivery; and no editor would
have dreamed of violating this condi-
ton. In a word, the speeches were not
speeches at all, but compositions, care
fully written, carefully revised and
doubtless carefully read by cabinet
members and political leaders, and
criticised by them as to matters OF
which they had special knowledge.
The audience Of 1000, 1000 or 1000
people who actually hear one Of these
addresses Is insignificant compared
with that audience Of millions who
read 1t by the help Of the press. Nor
has any king or premier or president
in time past ever had the advantage OF
such means of prompt appeal to his
nation and to the world as Is afforded
by the modern press through the re-

THE ORGAN GRINDER.

The rattle and roar of a dusty street,
In the glare Of the MONDAY sun,
The hopeless lag in the dragging feet
or the tuilers with toll neer done:
Yet sudden light shines in wearied eyes,
And the Clre-lincd faces smile
AS the humble minstrel his handle plies
And they hcar-aud forget a while.
The monkey-gay I'm his coat of red
Importunes his copper fee,
While the children, grimy and gutter
bred,
Dance in riotous gayety;
There's a mercy lies in the stolid grind,
And it lifts the listeners far
A moment, on wings of magic wind,
From the squalor of things that are.
And the pallor and squalor are all forgot
In the wheeze Of "A threadbare tune
That makes of the alley a beauty spot,
With the charm of a day in June
Seeming to freshen the musty air
TO make it a thing anew
Like a field of corn with it's tasseled hair
That the breeze blows whisp ring
through.
But the moments fly and the tune is
done
And the light in the sick eyes fades
Like the dying glow of the setting sun
Ere the gloom of the black nights
shades:
Gods poor had need of a breathing
But to be for a moment free
In the tender spell that was cast by grace
OF a sidewalk minstrelsy.

NOT TOO "SPOONY "
Little Love Episode of the Boy
hood Days of the WcIl-LOvcd
Poet. whittier.

Poets do not usually err through
reticence; in fact. some of the most
renowned poets are accused of turn
ing their emotions too readily into
fame and hard cash, and still others
are suspected of celebrating their
lady-loyers for reasons less of love
than of literature and lucrc. Even
the lifelong, unrequited attachment
of Petrarch to Laura, it is occasion
ally insinuated, cost him more ink
than heartache, after all, says
Youths Companion.
With Whittier, gentle. genuine, dig
nified and incapable of playing
at passion. it was far other
wise. In all his poems there is to be
found but one allusion to his only
grown-up love affair; and recently
published letter to Lucy Larcom,
when She was editor of Our Young
Folks, shows that he even had his
doubts about the child poem, "In
School Days" so well-known, 50 we'll
loved and so often recited, in which
he told the fleeting idyl of his boy
hood.
Dear Friend Lucy. I could not
make verses for the pictures, but l
send thee herewith a bit, which l am
sure is childish, if not childlille. Be
honest with it, and if it seems too
spoony for a grave Quaker like my
self, don't compromise by printing
it. When / get a proof | may see
something to mend or mar. Thine
truly, j. G. W."
Fortunately, the poem was neither
marred nor mended; Miss Larcom did
not consider it as too spoony; and we
have preserved in verse the incident
of the boyish poet and his little
friend, sweet eleven-year-old Lydia
Ayers, who was sorry that she speIt
the word that sent her above him
to the head of the cIass-"Because
you see, love you!"
The manuscript of this poem and
the letter with it were sold the other
day for $40. This money, with that
brought by the sale of other Whittier
manuscripts, $4,000 in all, is to be
used in maintaining the Whittier
homestead, scene of "Snowbound"
and birthplace of the poet.
