CLEVER NEWSPAPER MEN NOT
APPRECIATED.

When Alan L. Lovey laid down
this life few months ago we wrote
little about his death and the Salt
Lake Herald that had plundered him
for years of his contributions and re-
turned only $IS week and less for
them in many of the years they had
made the paper worth taking.
A monument ought to be erected
to Lovey's memory, if for no other
reason than that in his death he typi-
fies the fact that in Salt Lake there is
no paper with possibly one exception
ready to pay for ability, ready to de-
mand high standards of quality, and
but one paper that cares for anything
other than personal work for its own
err. The others gather enough news to
justify the existence of staff of rear
admiral retainers, (retired) or no staff
at all, above the grade of mere news
gatherers, hired at the lowest pos
sible rates through a sort of News
IlCIdlu- IlDullc DuSllhtSS OIIlCe trust.
When big problems arise in Utah
the newspaper men who spend any
time thinking about them are $I8 a
week reporters. 1t isn't in the game
CT the coal yard managing editor, or
his rear admiral friends (retired)
working away under old Gen. Apathy.
If the reporter comes along who
wants to get the paper into the shape
that a community of this size de-
serves, he is told 20 work up his stuff
of that kind after hours, and then
he has only the opportunity to turn it
in for nothing 1t was by the merest
accident that Lovey happened to be
here. The climate brought him and
not the paper How little the Her
aid appreciated his brilliancy is
shown in the fact that a paper to the
north, with half the circulation, in a
town half as big as Salt Lake felt
glad to pay more than his Herald
salary.

ignoble and selfish ends of their
owners but would try to fulfill the
destiny of the true newspaper.
In Salt Lake it seems that the
bunch have been waiting for some
big newspaper man to come in here.
start rival paper and in six months
have more circulation than all of them
combined, and salary schedule that
will not force anyone not willing to
starve to death to quit the profession
or leave town for such closely neigh
boring cities as Denver or Seattle.
The capable newspaper men who are
now in outside positions in prefer
ence to the jobs they held on Clark
and Kearns papers are good testi-
monials to the fact hat Lovey was
only one of class who have no
business to waste their time in this
town under prevailing conditions.
The newspapers need badly to wake
up and move. The towns growing.
While this is being written a long
loud moan comes from the Herald
management The Inter Mountain
Republican is offering something like
fair wages to good man, and there
is wroth in the Herald office that
would rather let him go than loosen
UP. The Republican it seems is not
in on the business office trust. If
that is so it deserves % get every
man of more than ordinary ability
in his profession that has not already
given up, and then they will deserve
circulation, any quarter of which
will amply cover that OF the most
formidable privately owned rival. In
every move it makes to step up to
its opportunities we wish it well.

LURES IN INVENTION
SCHEMES.

But no kind of industrial pitfall has
lured more investors than "the inven-
ton that will revolutionize industry"
Every man who has ever invented
anything believes, like Colonel Sell

feeling is often contagious, and af-

ment, and they have twelve children.
"Well, we can build schoolhouse. ="
"Why," he returned, "I'd like to
know how. We haven't cent OF
money to build it with and no car
penter to do the work"
THAT is just where my scheme
comes in," l answered. 1--WE are nine
miles from one school and five miles
from the other. Let lis organize a
district and borrow the money from
the State and build schoolhouse.
You have got saw and a hammer
and Mr.. H. has got a square, and the
money we get will help along all
summer"
eff you can make any such scheme
work, "he said, "I'll help. But l
don't believe you can"
So l wrote to the county superin-
tendent, and got school code and
studied up how to orgarize a school
district. Then we organized one,
had meeting and elected the Off
GERS, Jim as school clerk, and called
meeting for the purpose of making
plan to build schoolhouse.
We borrowed seven hundred dol
lars from the State to build it with.
The job of building we left to Jim,
with the understanding that the three
settlers were to work on it, too.
We got our money from the State
and built the schoolhouse Seven
hundred dollars isn't so very much
money, but it went quite long way
to help us, there in the woods, to
pay for groceries and other necessary
things.
The people of the other districts
had old log schoolhouses, and when
they heard about my idea of borrow
ing money from the State to build a
frame house they said the idea OF a
green country girl, eighteen years
old, trying to take hand in running
the town business was foolish. One
of them even came to my house and
said to me:
"Of course, Mrs. B., we would like
you to have a schoolhouse here; but
don't think for a minute that you will
be able to get it the way that you
are trying. Don't be so mistaken
that you think that you can borrow
from the State"
AS it happened, our draft had just
come the day before, and I went to
the trunk and got the pink slip of
paper and handed it to him.
He read it and said: "Well, we'll!
l never thought that you would get
it."
The next summer four other dist
riot officers came and consulted me
and borrowed money to build them
a school ouse.
OF course I taught the first year
of school,

that kind of speculative proposition.
Practically all promoters of inven
tions use the same method. 1t is
this: Nearly every mechanical de-
vice, no matter what its use, is herald
ed as being "as good a proposition as
was the Bell Telephone stock" There
is big fascination in that statement,
because it is pretty generally known
that the people who were fortunate
enough TO buy Bell Telephone stock
years ago made great deal of money
out of it, though they did not make
half as much as the shrewd promoter
of the present day would have you be-
lieve. So thousands of people are
looking for just another good thing
and the promoter encourages this
hope to his own advantage.
But telephones and air-brakes do
not happen every day, and, if they
did, the chances are that they would
not fall into the hands of "get-rich-
quick" promoters for exploitation.
Some people find it difficult to re-
sist these allurements. In the case of
hundreds of companies whose stock
is being sold broadcast to innocent
investors, the same situation is pre-
scented, and it is this situation that
the investor should keep in mind. In
the great majority of cases the inven-
ton has not had commercial test,
and is, therefore, still an uncertainty
as moneymaker.
To buy its stock is to help finance
a theory that has only remote PROS
pect of being able to earn money. In
other words, it has not been tried out
in practical way.
The buyer of stock is shown models
and sample machines in the offices OF
the company. But these models and
sample machines do not earn money.
If the investor with savings who is
attracted by the golden promises of
such industrial advertisements would
only do little Investigating on his
own account he would soon see how
doubtful the alleged investment" is.
Investigation should always be the
FIRST step in the making of any invest
ment.
A great many industrial schemes
could be cited to show how the public
is being fleeced. In almost every case
1t is the same story; the investor with
savings is asked to take the word of
the promoter that "here is a golden
an impossible undertaking that has
an imsposible undertaking that has
no chance of practical success.

trials" wrongfully called investment,

When Lewis and Clark made their
