JOURNALIST TAYLOR
TALKS OF JOURNALISM
Publisher Of the Boston Globe Is Entertained
at Louisville

Louisville, Jan. 29.-Charles II. Tay-
lor publisher of the Boston Globe,
was the principal speaker at the BAN
quet tonight of the Louisville Board
OF Trade. Gen. Taylor, who is making
his first trip to Kentucky and who
spent the day in visiting the points of
interest about Louisville, in company
was given a hearty welcome by those
assembled at the banquet. He was the
principal speaker. He said:
Journalism is a topic on which
Louisville of all places should need
no instruction, but in which she
should have proud and intelligent
interest. Here Prentiss, that brilliant
pioneer. and a New Highlander, like
myself, helped blaze the way for the
modern newspaper, and here in, true
apostolic succession Henry Watterson
has won honor for my calling and re-
nown for your city. Among the great
editors of the old school Col. Waiter
son was the peer of the greatest,
while we of the present day proudly
hail him as the ever-youthful and al
ways unrivaled leader of our Journal
istic 400.
THE change in journalism which
has come during his time and mine
was very we'll described by my old
friend, John Russell Young, a few
years ago, when he said: The press
is no longer the expression of person.
al power. Thirty or forty years ago
the newspaper was teacher, the voice
of one thinker, one leader Now it is
a university. AS much intellect is
needed to disseminate a journal as to
govern Harvard or Yale, The fly sheets
of the earlier days have given place
TO a daily volume which embodies the
genius Of the artist, the writer, the
artificer and the statesman
Some people complain that our
newspapers are too large. This objec-
ton is difficult to meet, for the sim
pie reason that it is so unusual for a
customer to make a fuss because he
is getting too much for his money.
There are many lines of business rep
resented here tonight, but l feel safe
in asserting that mine is the only one
that has to encounter this kind of
faultfndinR.
THE newspaper of to-day is like the
bill of fare in a hotel There is. or
should be, a table of contents which
shows the reader that which he most
desires to read. You do not go into
hotel. pick UP the bill of fare, begin
with the first item and eat right down
through and then die of apopleXy. on
the contrary. you select what you wish.
and you should do just the same with
newspaper.

one, least of all the busy man. We
hear from time to time that the news
papers of the day are too large for this
busy man. don't believe it. The busy
man is just tie man for the big news
paper, as he is for other big things,
and most of the busy men of my ac-
quaintance go through two and three
and four newspaper every day They
know how to dispatch their reading as
they know how to dispatch all their
affairs, and if 1 could be guilty of the
folly of putting a small paper on the
market l should not look for much
sympathy among the men of business.
The loafer is the only man l should
expect to please, and since he gener-
ally sponges his reading in his club,
at barber shop or in the public read
ing room, I probably should not gain
very large circulation. even among
the members of the lazy class.
THE small paper certainly would not
meet the requirements of the home

mocracy has emancipated the children

cry member of the family stands up
for his or her rights as a newspaper
reader, and for a liberal slice of the

I'm the good old days when our ia
~
own houses, the newspaper was made
for men alone, and it was so forbidding
to the youth and to women that 1t
was the last thing that the wife or
the son or the daughter would think
of looking at. That narrow spirit
made it possible for the newspaper to
be small, but who would revive those
co<ions in our day?

form the real basis of a successful
journal. How about the advertiser?
The daily newspaper is the best me-
dunn through which advertisers can
reach their patrons and increase their
sales and profits. If you print from
20 to 200 columns of advertising in a
single issue, how can you do it in a
small newspaper? The whole PROPOSE
ton is so absurd that it is astonishing
that intelligent people persist in maxi
ing IT topic of public discussion
"A small newspaper was feasible
when Europe was three months. in
stead of three seconds from this coun-
try, when Asia was UNEMPLOYED, when
Africa was shrouded in total darkness
when Washington was two or three
weeks from Louisville, when man was
not galloping around the earth on iron
steeds and hitching III the lightning
and the telephone. But we are liv-
ing now in an age of large things. In
other words, gentlemen, this is no
longer four-page world and a four
page civilization, and 1 think we are
all glad of it,"
The speaker then showed that we
can never have the ideal newspaper
because journalists, like clergymen.
lawyers, physicians and business men.
are all human, with the limitations
which must control them in all of
their work. He showed what a brill
liant failure Rev. Mr.. Sheldon's at
tempt to print religious daily proved,
and demonstrated that Mr.. Sheldon
lost great opportunity to make use
full and helpful suggestion to the press.
He explained the growth of the Sun
day newspaper. which is merely meet
ing the expanding wants OF the reid
er and the adVerts ser.
The speaker also touched upon the

classes. And this is what small news
paper could not do. 1t would have no
room for the intelligent presentation
of any subject. 1t could announce that
the President IF the United States had
sent a message to Congress. but from
lack of space ii would be unable to
tell what he said. 1t could say that
there had been a great debate in the
Senate or the House, but it could not
tell who spoke and what was done. a
national political convention might as
semble, but we could not learn from
the small paper how the balloting pro-
crossed and what platform was adopt
ed. The prime minister of the British
empire might define his position on
some big world question, bug the small
newspaper would be unable to state
what position he had taken.
You would read that there had been
a wild fluctuation in market values
but you could not find out from the
small paper how your interests were
affected. because, it would not have
room Or the necessary information.
You would be startled with the head
line on an awful accident by rail or at

your friends were lost or saved, be-
cause the lists of the dead and the

THE WEEK IN TRADE.

New York, Jan. 30.-R. G. Dun &

row Will say:
Domestic trade and industry continue
to prosper, while the fuel situation has
grown less disturbing through the spe-
cial efforts of transporters, aided to no
small degree by mild weather. Dis

stricted by the discrimination in favor
of coal. and shippers are importunate.
Clearance sales are about ended. leav-
ing only small stocks Of winter goods.
Advance business in spring deliveries
is very heavy, and fall contracts are
also placed literally.
In most cases where there is no de-
lay on fuel account. manufacturing
plants ere busy. though cost of mate
rails and labor is very high. Firm
prices for finished products are conse-
Quently to be expected. Favorable re-
turns of railway earnings are constant
ly issued, figures thus far available
showing an increase of 81 per cent.
over last year, and. 17.9 per cent. over
1901.
Miles of loaded cars and thousands of
tons of coke piled in the yards at Con-
ne1lsville tell the story of conditions In
the iron and steel industry. Furnaces
are closing because of the fuel short
