The line between legitimate Jour-
nalism and sensational journalism Is
very clearly drawn in Washington
newspaper circles. and it is we'll un-
derstood here that man who makes
failure In the legitimate field almost
always joins the ranks OF the sensa-
tionalists and devotes himself exclu-
siyeIy to the questionable business OF
disappearing public men. Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself has not been
permitted TO escape from the Shiny
mcsl1es Of the sensationalists' net, as
was recently evinccd in the efforts OF
one Poultney Bigelow to involve the
president and Secretary Taft in a
.c.nd., In connection with the Pana-
ma canal management.
A late candidate for fame in the
field OF Legitimate journalism is a
man by the name OF Pew, who seems
TO have broken the record for bare
faced Misrepresentation. Pew, 1T
seems, belongs in New York, but oc-
casionally makes a flying visit TO the
capitol, very much as Bigelow made
a flying visit TO Panama, and then
proceeds to furnish small syndicate
Of sensational newspapers with his
peculiar fluctuations. One Of these
cffusions recently found place in the
Grand Forks Herald, which, for some
reason known only to the owner OF
that paper, does not appear to have
very deep affection for the senior SEN
ator from North Dakota.
