Watterson's Challenge to Hearst.

Before making a final appraisement of
the Hearst boom. Henry Watterson wants
to hear from Mr.. Hearst from the latter s
place in the House of Representatives. Let
Mr. Hearst illuminate from that harbor of
statesmen Why else did he seek member
ship there? Editing one or more news
papers is all very well, but a member of
Congress seeking to influence public send-
ment should deliver himself from his APP
pointed seat.
Why there are many members of the
House who speak often and speak we'll. but
who with their best efforts never reach
1.-THE of the people whom Mr.. Hearst in
every one of his signed articles reaches
They would be glad to say less in Congress
and more at length in the columns of
widely read daily newspaper. Few of their
colleagues on the floor listen. The galleries
are seldom filed, and even then visitors are
inattentive. The press reports necessarily
are meager The Congressional Record Is
a slow and unsatisfactory means of dis
tributing eloquence. Great chunks of wis
dom clothed in fine language almost
daily thrown away in the two houses of
Congress.
Catch a hustler like Mr.. Hearst depend
ing on such means of reaching the ear of
y,
daily newspapers running! When the time
comes he votes in Congress, but when he
has anything of Importance to say he re-
tires to his study. collects his thoughts leis-
urely and without danger of interruption,
and puts them down carefully on paper
Then he signs his name to the production,
and the next morning 1t reaches more peo
pie than the combined membership of the
speech making. This is not to decry speech
making. but simply to show that Mr..
Hearst. whose real object is to get at the
people is on the right track
1t ought not to be necessary to remind
Mr.. Watterson of this. He has been in
Congress. and knows how 1t is himself. He
was a prominent figure in the House at
the time of the Hayes-Tilden contest, and
made one notable speech on the subject of
the electoral commission bill; but the let
ters he wrote to his newspaper the while,
and which carried his initials did more to
shape sentiment than everything he said in
the House. inter sting as 1t all was. That
one letter alone. in which H. W." sum-
moned one hundred thousand one-armed,
or unarmed, Kentuckians to Washington
there have always been two readings of
the teXt-attracted more attention than
nine-tenths of the speeches made at that
time
No, no. Mr.. Watterson is wrong. 1t is
given to but few men-he happens to be
one of them-to write and speak equally
well. Mr.. Hearst knows his limitations.
Besides. he must have observed that in the
matter of the presidency the country does
not seem to be pining for an orator.

Is dated and stamped and filled In before az

inc the scene at railroad station II every
ticket buyer insisted upon scrutinizing the
literature of the trip slips before pur-

posed to take issue with the rail-
roads on this score and seek closer
adjustment between baggage cost and rail-
road responsibility there might be series
of ticket windows for the various classes
of travellers, those who carry no baggage
at all, those whose baggage Is confessedly
below the limit, and those who believe
themselves entitled to special contracts on
this score. Then would confusion reign
supreme in the rush hour.

The finding of District court that a per.

clause can recover only that amount in
case of loss will probably cause many trav-

hereafter. 1t is probable that not one out
of a thousand people ever reads the finely
printed matter which covers the stub end
of the ticket And If the intending pur-

"no saloons" into a political campaign
