secure enough until just before the

Bailey was standing. At that moment

footing in the snow or to stop his

There is a tendency among old
fashioned newspaper men to sheer at
colleges Of journalism. Many people
still adhere to the ancient theory that
journalists. like poets, are born and
not made. and to certain extent that
is true; but even a newspaper man
who has been born can learn some
thing if he is properly taught. The
lectures on professional methods and
professional ethics that are delivered
each year at the University of Chica-
go, at Yale and other institutions
certainly do no harm and every stu
dent who looks forward to a career
in literature may derive great profit
from them.
Several schools Of journalism are
found in Europe, particularly in Ger
many and Switzerland. At the Uni
versity of Berne there is regular
course of practical editing and news
work. which leads up to'a degree; at
Zurich journalism is a part of the
course of political science; at the
universities of Berlin. Leipzig and
Heidelberg series of lectures on jour-
nalism are given every year and practi-
cal instruction can be obtained in
nearly all the technical and CONNER
cial schools in the empire.

SHIPPER HAS TO PAY INCREASE
Railroads Give More Wages and Make
Up Same by Adding
To Rates.

| CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-Tne RECORD
Herald says:
BY action taken yesterday the rail-
roads of the United States have paw
ed the way to drag back to their cot
fers the millions they recently handed
out to their employees in the way of in
creased wages. The shipper is to pay

The first active steps were taken
yesterday at a meeting held in Chi
cutive officials of railroads east hav-
ing total of more than $1,000 miles
of lines.
The roads initially interested ex-
tend throughout te territory east of
this city and north of the Ohio river
clear to the seaboard and north into
Canada.
In this territory freight rates are
controlled by the organization known
as the Central Freight association
whose jurisdiction extends to Buffalo
and Pitsburg, and the Trunk Line as

associations, is being sought by let.

giving the reasons therefore. 1t was
stated last night that if the plan met
with any opposition it would not be
carried out
Difficult to Estimate.
The meeting which was held yes
terday, however, is the outcome of a
we'll laid plan which originated with
the eastern presidents and which was
passed on by them to their executive
traffic officials for perfecting and plaq-
ing before the various lines for adop-
ton.
If the plan is successful in the east
it will undoubtedly be followed by the
lines south of the Ohio river, and then
by the lines to the Pacific ocean. 1t
is difficult to estimate how much the
proposed increase will bring the roads
in added revenue, but the sum will be
a large one. Traffic officials, however.
state that it will not be sufficient to
offset even the increased expense to
the roads occasioned by increased
wages, and estimated at between 800,
100000 and s11O,OOO.OOO annually.
In explaining the plan. prominent
officials last night declared that the
railroads did not propose doing any
thing that was unfair to the shipper
or to he public. On the contrary, the
increases in the minimum weights al
lowed in cars will be such as will
result in benefit to the entire country
and will give the railroads in effect the
use Of from 20 to 80 per cent added
equipment. This increase in equipment
efficiency will be brought about by an
increase in the size of the loads in
freight cars.
Traffic men declare that, despite the
size of freight cars has increased two
and even three fold, there has been
little or no increase in the minimum
weight allowed in a car, with the re-
suit hat the Shippers have not taken
tdvantage of the added facilities Of
fered them.
