 to what may properly be termed the

 ing the man who writes must have
 other than pecuniary motive. Perhaps
 the idea and practice rest on the the
 ory that it would spoil the man who
 lives by his pen to be fat and sleek. Big pay would exterminate the breed. All the same, the modern reporter is an ambassador to all the powers that be. if without the purple of his office. He is the confidant of the great, but must keep his trust as a matter of course and with no special grateful ness from anybody. He is the daily companion of the mighty, but must not put Cn Jugs He is paronized by his intellectual interiors, but must give no sign of his martyrdom to the super iority of ignorance. The glory that he makes for others is not for him. He must rest fameless, nameless and content. The actual work of the re- porter is a daily marvel. He must get his facts on the run, mainly from reluctant witnesses, and he must put them in good English at the rate of 1000 words an hour to the streaming bedlam of newspaper shop. He must agonize for accuracy against all the forces that make for error-the hurry and confusion which an inexorable press time compels, the inherent un- reliability of human testimony. the constant attempt of the selfinterested or the narrow-minded to twist or color facts The extent to which the re- porter himself is faithful to the truth of the days history as he sees it would surprise the cynical and unitiat- ed, fer it is in the telling of story as it has happened that he gets the inspiration of his calling. He holds great power, but he must not use it to make or mar except as the facts themselves warrant"

Tippinqs In Europe.

According to immemorlal usage. Flu ropean servants are entitled to tips as an assured part of their income At the hotels the theory is that the land lord furnishes guest a private room and the Cse os the public rooms. heat and light food and dishes. but not menial service. For convenience he keeps at hand corps of servants who will respond to the guests summons, but at his expense. In old times tray eiers were attended by their own serv- ants to wait on them. The modern custom echoes the ancient The trav- eler no longer carries with him a ret hue Of servants, because he can hire temporarily those of the landlord. The customary fees are the payment. To avoid fleeing is really to cheat the serv- ants. who need all they can get. heav- en knows. A chambermaid at the best hotels receives as wages only about $2 a month. Tipping servants in America is regrettable imitation of the Euro pean custom without it's resting on the reasonable basis of the foreign institu- tions.-Travel Magazine.

SOUTHERN GRAFT
 EXEMPTION.

It would not be far amiss to entftle
 Senator TiIlman the Roosevelt of the south The president and the sena. tor are much alike ip their infexible honesty, independence, courage and personal purity The same character istics that have won for the president his great popularity have placed Sen ator Tiliman in the front rank of southern statesmen, says the Los An geles Herald.
 In his interview with a representa- tive Of the Herald during his brief stay in Les Angeles last week, Sena- tor Tillman made some observations well worthy of thoughtful study. For instance, in his caustic comment on San Francisco, Rotten to the core; millionaires bribing public officials; officials extorting money from whom ever they could get it." he said. "In the south We do not have such things; we are too American; thank God we are not yet cosmopolitan enough for that"
 Come to think of it, the disclosures of official and corporate grating do seem to come exclusively, or nearly so, from northern cities and towns. It would be difficult to name a dozen large northern cities in fact, that have not been smirched to greater of less extent, within the last few years, by grating scandals. No such record. however, mars the reputation of the southern communities.
 How shall that difference be ac- counted for? Senator Tillman inti- mates that it results from the rapidly increasing cosmopolitanism of the north, thus dispIacing the pure Ameri- canism that still remains uncontami- mated in the south. It is certain that inc grafting evil is a comparatively new one in the north, at least on the colossal scale revealed in San Fran cisco. Philadelphia and certain other cities.
 The essence of Senator Ti1man's observation on this point is that the growth of the grating evil and other clements conducive to ultimate civic rottenness Is in proportion to the drift from good old Americanisn. That the percentage of the pure American ele- ment is greater in the south than in the north Is evident from the fact that l more than million immigrants are pouring irto the United States year ly, only the merest fraction of whom settle in the southern states.
 And this is Senator Tiliman's reme- dy for the graft disease: "The people must hold their servants to stricter

HE KNOX DIVERSION.

The declaration of the Pennsylvania republican convention in favor of the nomination of Senator Knox for presi- dent is the most interesting incident of a long season of scattering specula- ton as to the important doings of next year. H is deeply significant, says the Enquirer. There may have been quiet purposes in the proceedings that are not plain to the average apprehension and were not intended to be; but can did citizens will be slow to suspect that Senator Knox could be party 10 a deal, or subterfuge, or a pretense to switch notice from the facts. On the fair face of the proceedings at Harrisburg Mr. Knox stands as the unanimous choice of the delegates to the state convention, and there is a just inference that they represent a majority of the electorate. The action will be subject to ratification or reyis sion by the agencies by which dele gates to the national convention will be selected next year, but the resolu- ton adopted on the 9th inst. looks a good deal like delivery of the goods"
 The senator and the course of the administration were approved in the same platform. The preference ex- pressed for the senator for president has not, and probably will not, pro- mote schism in the popular idealfty of the next nomination for Mir. Roose- welt, or if not for him, for the man he proposes. The distinguished Pennsyl- vanian is in the dignified position of a man who is not afraid to say that he Is candidate for the presidency, and who would be glad to have it. Neither does he burn the bridges be- tween himself and his former chief. He can take himself gracefully out of consideration whenever it shall seem that the public will is in another direc- tion. He is accepted at least as one who has been most worthily honored by the republicans of Pennsylvania.
 Whether the accepted" programs are to be persevered in and caryied out by the national conventions or not. the projection of Mir. Knox in so emi- nently proper manner offers gratify- ing surcease from much repeated assumption that each of the great par ties has only one man that is to be seriously considered for nomination. Ar- Roosevelt may be nominated again. notwithstanding renunciation which the country has looked upon as frank and sincere. No man who does not permit his scruples to interfere with his judgment can deny that there is formidable movement in the dem ocrztic party and its allies to put WIZ Ham ]. Bryan on the track again. If
 
 that is to be the lineup" the country l will have rousing campaign, and win be discassed with such freedom and force that there will be 3 great deal of popular learning. and i much instruction to the man who shall 1

 Good advice. but it recalls the fabled rat convention whereat it was resolved to insure safety from the feline enemy by decorating it with a bell. But then came the question Who will bell the cat?" and the application is. Who will kick out the unfaithful public servants?

In his chair and gazed at his three

in blue, with the dazzlingly fair hair

EDITOR News
l do not know whether l am on the
right subject, or not, and neither do l
care, but every person has a perfect
right to express his opinions fearlessly
and impartially regardless of what
other people think. So will advance
mine upon one which seems to be en-
crossing the minds of the citizens Of
Columbia and Adair County at the pre-
sent time.
According to my views of the road
question, which has been agitated so
much during the past few months. The
Adair Fiscal Court certainly made
very great mistake in refusing to make
provisions for the betterment of the
roads in Adair county. Good roods are
one of essential elements of prosper
GUS community, in both business and
commercial sense, and any town or
county which will not take an active
interest in the making of good roads
will soon be termed as back numbers in
the progressive march, and their atti-
tude in the matter will be chagrin to
their business and commercial interests.
The benefit derived from good roads
in Adair county, by me would be in
significant, but there are lots of other
people who must travel the roads to
get to Columbia to do their trading,
and common sense teaches that a ma
jority of the people will travel the best
road, even if they are compelled to go
to another town and the distance is
even little greater. Therefore the
Columbia merchants should take hand
in the good road question, and aid in
solving the problem, to creditable de-
gree.
According to my view of the matter,
the magistrates of Adair county have
taken a ''backwoods'' stand on the
question of good roads, but it is of no
concern to me. They are the Judges
of their own business. However, there
is one commendable act to the credit of
that honorable body, if they did it, and
that is the suggestion to put rock
wall around the Court House, and if
this is done, wouldn't it be one of the
greatest feats ever accomplished by
any Fiscal Court in the State. Wall
in the temple of justice, and then may
be so many evil doors will not venture
within the gates thereof. Then at the
same time allow the out-of- town peo-
pie to travel through the mud and wa
ter to Columbia, to do their business
there, where is the logic IN that?
