journalism Decadent2

A writer in the Bookman has made
the discovery that the conditions Of
modern journalism are Startling"
and 'tdeplorable," and several ether
things Objectionable to him. There
are some engaged in journalism who
make bold to hope that he is mis-
taken. 1t is not pleasing to be one
among the elements objectionable to
SO able a person. If be will lay down
a few rules, to be guided by them to
the leading of better life will be a
pleasure
He has observed that the news
paper has changed since the day OF
Greeley, when the owner was actual
~ the editor. So it has; but it has
kept in harmony with the processes
of development about it. Other in
situations have changed, too. The
methods OF transportation are differ
ent, the style OF architecture, the
system by which commerce is con-
Quoted. Individual enterprises have
become so vast that the individual
no longer attends to each detail. There
was time when the manager OF the
largest business wrote his own let
ters. Now he has a secretary who
dictates them to stenographer. 1t
does not follow that the manager
does not know his business. The
changes in journalism have been in
evitable, as the other changes, but no
whit more detrimental or surprising.
The statement is made that the
sovereignty OF the paper has passed
from the editor to the owner; that
writer's have tenure of Office so inse-
cure that they lack esprit de corps.
In a measure this is true, but why
moan about it? The editor usually
is hired. On a paper of decent stand
ing he receives good pay. He does
his work as conscientiously as
though sole owner of the establish
ment. He is as certain of his posi-
ton as is any other person whose
retention on the payroll depends upon
faithfufness and capacity He would
be glad to own the paper, but the
| chances are that if he did so he
would not make a financial success
of it. In this age of specialism he
has found MS specially; that is all.
As rule. eEflienced by many notable
examples, the man who has the facul-
ty of writing lacks almost wholly
the money making faculty. In the
world Of barter he would be an alien.
He is the stuff of which Wall street
lambs are made, and should be CRATE
| fus hat circumstances open TO him a
congenial calling and the privilege OF
clinging to his fleece, scant though
this be.
Editors know more about them
| selves than a biased observer can
tell them. They understand the re-
strictions under which they labor
They must, merely as the lawyer has
TO do, at times uphold policies per-
sonaily distaSteful to them, but as
