MEN WHO MAKE NEWSPAPERS.

The Atlanta Constitution, Ill a recent
issue, has an editorial plea 70: the men
who make newspapers, which is 50
true and applicable to every case that
the Courier r%eproduces it for its read
ers:
Cut his newspapers out of the life
of the average man and you will create
a gap for which the combined convent
ences and Injuries of modern civiliza-
ton will hardly compensate. He
looks forward to a quiet hour with his
~favorite daily with the same avidity
which marks the approach of his din
ing hours: in his minds eye one as
Stunning almost as much Importance as
the other.
"Yet how many people Of whose
daily existence the newspaper is such
an indispensable adjunct, think once
a year Of the men who make 1t. What
do they know of the sleepless vigi-
lance of the men who keep a trained
finger OF the pulse of public events,
whose minds are educated to the deli
cato task Of discriminating the re-
spectiye values Of the days develop
mentS, or who hold themselves ready
at a moments notice to brave fatigue,
rebuffs end fsalyre IN the collection of
the news to be served. to the public IN
coherent, accurate form? Many of
those who even come in contact with
the newsgatherer in his regular rounds
do not regard him with unmixed feel
ings of respect and esteem. So long
as his searching cross-examination is
directed at other folk and things, 1t
is well. But when the exigencies Of
his duty (and duty and fate in the
newspaper mans vocabulary are
synonymous terms), compel him to
turn HIS investigations in their direc-
ton, his enterprise sometimes seems
to take OH the nsture of impert.nence
and they are ready to label his insis-
tence intrusion.
"The men who keep you in touch
with the history of the times, whether
1t be the history making in Asia or At
lanta, are just as human, just as sen
sitive to the little and big things of
life, just as fallible as yourself. If you
followed what was said in the fore
going paragraphs you will admit their
calling is n of vast dignity and i'm
p%ortance to themselves and the people
they serve, wen though the relations
be disguised and impersonal. They are
public servants in the most intense ap.
plication of the phase, and their ac-
tivity is a check on large and petty
evil and injustice such as is furnished
by no other human agency"
The Constitution is right in its esti-
mate of the value of the newspaper
in the daily life Of every man. 1t fills
a place nothing else can fill. Its
sphere is its own. Everyone likes to
read news, and all the news of the day,
regardless of who is affected. If this
we're borne in mind by all people, In
Guiding those who are affected, 1t
would be easier for the news gatherers
to deal with them and easier for them
to understand why 1t is that news 10
garding them cannot be omitted sim
ply on account Of friendship or per.
sonal likes and dislikes. The news
paper is greater than the men who
make it. It's duty to the public is
clear and s%upersedes the personal du-
ties of the men who work together to
get the news and give 1t to the people.

BY bringing Bridgers bones to the
new cemetery ct Kansas City and
placing them beneath this monument,
General Dodge has probably. rescued
them from oblivion. Their resting
place was known to but few when Gen
eral Dodge undertook to give them q
final burial. They yer found under
a modest slab hidden In a thicket on
a farm ear Westport, Kan. and were
moved to Mount Washington GENE
terry where the new stone was erected.
At the time of the unwilling by a great
granddaughter Of Bridger, a sketch OF
Bridger's life prepared by General
Dodge was read. This is believed to be
the only complete account Of his
career which has ever been written.
Bridger could not read or write. and
therefore left no records Of any kind
behind him. This account of a white
man who, General Dodge says, sur
passed sven the Indians in the methods
of warfare for which they are noted,
has just been printed.
Bridger, who was born In Richmond,
Va, March IL. 1904 was a nephew of
President Tyler by marriage. When he
was only a small boy his father a sur
veyor, moved to st. Louis, where the
latter died. The boy earned enough
money to buy a f1atboat ferry and. at
the age of 10 vas making a living by
running that ferry at st. Louis. When
18 years old he Joined a party Of trap
pers who were on their way to the
mountains under General Ashley. Thus
began his career among the mountains
of the Rocky system. For many years
he remained in the heart Of the wilder
ness. following streams in a steady
search for beaver skins and other furs.
In the course Of his ~wanderings he
reached the Pacific ocean by way Of
the Columbia river, returning TO his
headquarters in what is now Wyoming
by way Of California. the ella river
and New Mexico. $50 far as we have
any proof" General Dodge says. Bird
ger was the first man positively
known to see Salt Lake. To settle
a wager as to the course of Bear river,
Bridger followed the stream to Great
Salt Lake and found the water salt. He
returned to his party and reported
what he had learned and they con-
cluded# it was an arm of the Pacific
ocean.
Explored Yellowstone Park.
General Dodge says 1t is now known
that a member of the Lewis and
Clark expedition entered the territory
comprising Yellowstone park, but with
this exception Bridger was the first
white man to witness the wonders of
nature spread out there. His descrip-
tons of them were considered to be ex-
a%ggerations.
THE first great highway across the
plains" General Dodge says. was no
doubt developed by Bridger and his

Secretary Morton of the navy de-

enced man in the transportation bust.
ness, has contributed an article to the
magazine, Outlook, in which he takes
rather a pessimistic view of the rail
road situation and its future. He says
that one of the following three things
is sure to take place in the conduct of
the American railways:
Decentralization of pools, the rest
of the railroads to make enforceable
contracts between themselves as to a
division of earnings, so that they can
resist the temptations Of big shippers
and be assured a fair share Of the
business moving at stable rates, which
shall apply alike to all patrons.
Second-The further unidcation of
ownership, thereby delivering in time
the entire railway ownership of the
country in the hands Of a few individ-
uals or n syndicate.
Third-Government ownership. the
worst of the three evils, If such they
may be called. In the opinion Of Mr..
Morton government ownership Of our
railroads would be the beginning Of in.
dustrial and political chaos.
He favors the first proposition, with
adequate provision to assure rates be.
ing reasonable.
Mr.. Morton, in a general way, agrees
with President Roosevelt, as to the
best plan for combating with the rate
evils. Though he paints a rather dark
picture of the future he advises main.
tanning the powers of the interstate
commerce commission, the revision
and -equalizing Of rates. and the pun,
ishment Of roads convicted of giving
rebates to favored shippers. Morton
takes a practical view of the situation
and his ideas are worth careful consid.

Harry Murray remarked that most
OF the Democrats would be with the Re.
publicans, not having put up any man
for the sheriffship and having few Of
their own men up for anything.
John Warehouse, treasurer of the
County Committee, stated that tho
business men II they thought that the
Republican candidate were really in
for victory, were really fighting as .
whole and would not split, would read.
lily respond to calls for financial aid for
the campaign.
Andrews at once put the question to
zach candidate present, asking them
II they were not supporting the admin.
istration in this campaign. Each and
every man present answered in the at.
firmative, as q matter of course: can.

drews' survey of the assembly, were

"Our PLATFORM" said Andrews, zen.
dorses everything Republican: Presi.

the County Act"
That's what wanted to know"
said Warehouse. "Now can tell the
business men what we are going to do.

Of the business houses and have met
