MERRY MAY DAY.

Evening Star of May I'd.
Telephone service to Denver, wires
to Denver via the Western Union and
Florence & Cripple Creek. and trains
to Canon City over the latter road are
about the only communications with
the outside world which the Cripple
Creek district can boast to-day. Short
Line trains did not leave the Springs
and Terminal. A Raymond Whitcomb
excursion was booked for Cripple
Creek to-day but it seems like joke
to contemplate. Most of the party

Colorado Springs. 1t did not leave,
and our reputation is saved, for they
will never know how bad 1t really is.
In the district there is no electric
car service whatever. both high and
low electric lines being tied up com
pletely. The trains of the Florence &

col,eoe Of journalism.

Joseph Pulitzer contributes to the
North American Review for May an
article explaining the purpose and
scope of the College of Journalism
which he has founded and permanently
endowed in Columbia University. In
cidentally he also reviews the criti-
cisms which his plan has evoked, and
gives his reasons for holding that "spe-
cialized concentration and education at
college will improve the character and
work of journalists, and SO promote
the welfare of the Republic
The supreme end of such an instltu-
ton, as viewed by its founder, is "the
welfare of the Republic" Its object,
he says, is "to make better journalists,
who will make better newspapers.
which will better serve the public" His
article ends with this admonition and
appeal:
Our Republic and its press will rise
and fall together. Any able, disinter-
ested, public-spirited press. with
trained intelligence to know the right
and courage to do it. can preserve that
public virtue without which popular
government is a sham and a mockery.
A cynical, mercenary, demagogic press
will produce in time a people as base
ne itself The power to mould the flu
ture as the Republic will be In the
hands of the journalists OF future gen.
erations. This is why ! urge my col
leagues to aid the important expert
ment which have ventured to endow.
Upon their generous aid and co-opera-
tion the ultimate success OF the pro-
lest must depend"
