TRUE JOURNALISM
Editor Edw. Howe Of Atchison
Lectures in Lawrence
WITH MANY FUNNY STORIES
Some Experiences Of " Newspaper Man
Subject Of Iecturs-Good Advice
to Students Entering Journalism

Ed Howe, of the Achison Globe.
addressed the students OF the State Uni
versity of Kansas in the chapel at
Lawrence. II was at first intended to
have the address given in Blake Hall,
the physics lecture room. but there was
not room enough to accommodate the
crowd and II was necessary to change
to the chapel. Glasses were dismissed
for the lecture.
Mr.. Howe's topic was, Some Ex-
pcriences of a Newspaper Man" and
the address was given as a part OF the
course of lectures for the school OF
journalism. recently established at that
institution. Mr.. Howe consumed most
OF his time in relating his experiences
with the people of Atchison since he
started the Globe twenty-sevcn years
ago. The lecture vas replete with fun
ny stories told in the speakers char
acteristic manner
The principal advice which he gave
to young aspirants in journalistic
honors was first of all to get started
at work on a lively, wide awake paper,
and to behave properly. The next step,
according to the Atchison man Is to
get acquainted with every one in town.
Mr.. Howe placed especial stress upon
a wide acquaintance.
II go out into the streets OF Atchison
every day" he sail, and see certain
men and get from them the best things
which my paper contains. They are
the source of the news and the inspira-
ton for nearly all OF my editorial par
agraphs. There Is too much talk about
the coming la He is here already,
end the thing to do is to know him."
In speaking OF preparation for news
paper work, Mr.. Howe said: "The
greatest school of journalism In the
world is the country newspaper The
best lectures | could give on the sub
sect are contained in my letters to my
sons who are running a little country
paper in Idaho for the sake of the en-
perience, and they are making good
progress"
MIR. Howe's lecture was from the
standpoint OF n country newspaper
man as have been nearly all the lee
lures in the course up to date.
Il know nothing about u city paper,
except what | like and do not like he
said. "The Sunday editions are a
nuisance. The space might better be
filled up with interesting and instruc-
tive letters and articles than with
stories about some woman who feeds
her pet dog from a gold plate"

Another Kansas Railroad

Another Kansas railroad has been
chartered. 1t is the Great Bend South
ern railway. and 1t is chartered to run
from Great Bend south through Bar
ton, Stafford. Pratt and Barber coun-
ties to the south line of the state.
The charter gives it the right to use
steam. electricity, compressed air or
any other motive power it wishes.
The capital stock is only S25.OOO,
which wouldn't build the road very
far.
The reason for the proposed road
is not apparent. Those who know the

say that there Is little excuse for the
line unless it is to be a part OF some
other system.

Gold standard In Panama

1t seems possible that the gold stand
ard will be adopted ut Panama. The
committee to which the question was
referred has reported favorably, after
considering among other matters that
the United States will use American
currency in the canal zone. As regards
the amount, 1t is recommended that
enough money be coined to prevent the
United States from having a pretext
to coin a special currency for the zone.
The idea is to coin silver money. using
American gold as the standard. and
prohibiting the introduction OF foreign
