ABOUT REPORTERS.

A son of whitelaw Reid has become a reporter on The New York Tribune, and that leads The Hartford Times to indulge in some reflections on the sub- feet which are of interest. "The re- porter is an important cog in the ma chinery of successful Journalism" !" says The Register. and we think it's further remarks will be worth read ing by all who belong to that useful class of newspaper workers.
 "The reporter" says The Times, gets in close touch with men. things and events. He is near the nerve cen- ter of human activities. He needs keen eyes. alert ears, an agile intellect and a willing pair of legs. He must be able to discriminate between the sham and the genuine, between the false and the true, between whats important and what isn't. He needs to have both the nose for news and the faculty for stating things in an attractive and interesting way. He has constant use for a magnetic person. ality, which enables him to get at people and to win their good will He must be reliable and prompt, for a reporter who cant be depended on, who has no sense of responsibility and who is everlastingly behindhand. Is an internal nuisance around a news paper office. He should be a fellow of principle. for a reporter who vio- lates confidence. or betrays trust, oc isn't particular about telling tl.e truth, or doesn't mind resorting to dis reputable methods, is a liability in white journalism, although he may be temporary asset in yellow journal ism. The reporter needs energy, edu- cation, resourcefulness. persistence and unlimited capacity for fast work. The reporter has great opportunities for usefulness and can exercise a large and wholesome influence. He comes in direct contact with the vital Inter- ests of the community. His hand is on the pulse of things. If his heart js in the work and if he Is adequately equipped he has the most attractive job on the newspaper"

 paign there is another class of States on which it would do well to keep an eye. They are States where there have been violent fluctuations in State cleo ditions which indicate a great falling off in the heavily Democratic and heavily Republican vote. These States might be called surprise States. There is not sufficient reason at the outset of activities of the campaign to war rant their being placed in the doubt full column, and all of them so desig- mated. for purposes of explanation. are in the above Republican or Demo- cratic classifications." These States are as follows:

 Leaving aside the surprise States" and accepting the above figures, The Nashville American says the Repuo- licans to win must gain Se and the Democrats to win must gain S1. But the Democrats have a better prospect of winning a majority of the doubtful States than the Republicans have. The Herald Is not taking into account cer-- tain phases and elements that must be reckoned with In this campaign. A careful survey of the field at this stage is as encouraging to Bryan as 1t is to Taft, and Bryan's chances are daily improving.

Mir. Hearst speaks Of adr Bryan as "a leader who leads backwardst.- That sounds rather brassy, coming from a man who would lead sideways. if he could lead at all. As to that matter, the Democracy would gain by being led backwards in some respects.

Cannon trying to make political cap- ital out of Mir. Bryan's alleged wealth, and Taft wiring to Illinois Republicans that the election of Bryan means ruin to the country are two specimens of very small demagogy of which the au- thors should be ashamed.
