must rest fameless. nameless and
content.
The actual work of the reporter is
a daily marvel. He must get his facts
on the run mainly from reluctant wit
nesses, and he must put them into
good English at the rate of 1000
words an hour in the screaming bed
lam of a newspaper shop. He must
agonize for accuracy against all the
forces that make for error-the
hurry and confusion which an in
exorable press time compels; the in.
herent unreliability Of human testi-
mony; the constant attempt of the
to twist or color facts. The extent
to which the reporter himself is
faithful to the truth of the days his
tory as he sees it would surprise the
cynical and uninitiated, for it is in
the telling of the story as it has hap
pened that he gets the inspiration of
his calling. He holds a great power,
but he must use 1t to make or mar,
except as the facts themselves have
such an effect upon men and things.
The reporter who for SIS years has
lived up to those standards may when
he dies be dismissed with a one-line
head in the very newspaper that he
has served, but what man in a cor
responding position in life can com
pare with him in the real Importance
of his work and in the impress that
he leaves upon his day and genera
ton? Does he not belong in the
category of men that Brunetiere
rated above all the rest-those that
strive for a high end, yet fall short
of actual achievement and so have
none of the grossness of success?
AS we sit around our comfortable
flresides in the evening and read the
story of the worlds activities fresh
from the perfecting press, let us take
some thought of the army of game
men who in every cline, under con
ditions of hardship varying between
the personal danger In the thick of
war or %pestilence and the daily grind
of city reporting, bring together into
one great household all the nations
and races of the earth.-Baltimore

THE NEWSPAPER REPORTER

The other day in Philadelphia
there passed away the Oldest re-
porter. He was 81 years Of age, and
he had seen SIS years of active SER
vice. He died and was buried with
out ado, after the manner and true
to the traditions of the craft. But
may not we of the editorial depart
ment make the passing of this vet
eran worker in the ranks the text for
a remark or two on the sterling
worth of the reporter, and the all
too little recognized service that is
rendered by him to the profession
of journalism and to the interests
of humanity.
He is the backbone of modern
journalism, is this same, quiet, self
efacing, gallant fellow, the reporter.
By some tradition as old as printing
the man who writes must have other
than a pecuniary motive. Perhaps
the idea and the practice rest on the
theory that 1t would spoil the man
who lives by his pen to be fat and
sleek. Big pay would exterminate
the breed. All the same, the mod
ern reporter is an ambassador to all
the powers that be, II without the
purple of his office. He is the con-
fdent of the great, but must keep
his trust as a matter of urse and
with no special gratefulness from
anybody. He is the daily companion
of the mighty, but must put on nc
Tugs" He is patronized by his In
tellectual interiors, but must give nc
sign of martyrdom to the superiority
Of ignorance. The glory that hi
makes for others Is not for him. HI
