KNOCK FOR THE REPORTERS
ONLY ONE OR TWO IN GOOD
STANDING ARE COLLEGE BRED.

Professor George NJ Marshall OF ths
University Of Utah doesn't like the
newspapers Of Salt Lake. In fact, Mr.
Marshall finds much TO criticise in the
newspapers of this city and elsewhere
In the course OF a lecture 10 one of his
classes yesterday Mr.. Marshall elm
mated from his system a series of re-
marks not intended to he compliment
tary 10 Salt Lake newspa pers or news
paper men. Incidentally in order TO
show that. In the language Of the sport
ing editor. be was playing no favorites,
Mr.. Marshall took occasion to touch
up sporting expressiom two OF his
fellow professors at the state institu-
tion of profound learning.
Mr.. Marshall told of a professor
taame unknown) who bought ten
cent book fer ore OF his children. Mr
Marshall went into the incident at con-
siderable length to demonstrate that
the professor should have bought the
seventy book. offered by the
salesman who had Obligingly impaired
the important information TO Mr.. Mar
shall. So far as could be learned by
Mr.. Marshalls hearers. the book de-
sired By AIR. Professor (name un-
known was simply child's pablica-
ton After indicating the heinOus Of
Tense OF the ten-cent professor Mr..
Marshall adverted to the lecture given
recently at the university by Professor
Harger of the University of Kansas on
the general subject of newspapers. Mr..
Harger had been complimentary in his
references TO newspapers. Mr. Mar
shall declared that the Kansans words
don't apply to the papers OF Salt Lake.
He was particularly agsrieved. be-
cause. so he says. the Salt Lake ra-
porter is not college bred. Why. only
one or two Of the reporters I know IN
salt Lake are college men," he de-
clared. The rest of them are simply
High school graduates
Then he declared that the papers are
unfair and unjust. Think of it," he
said. with fitting emphasis. Suppose
that. 200 or 800 years hence. some per
son wishes 10 look up some point in the
history OF this period and refers to the
Democratic papers to get his facts.
After reading the papers he will think il
a wonder that the Almighty didn't in
stitute some method of rescuing the
government from the hands of Roose-
Welt and Taft.

Meanwhile. the Republican papers
say that Bryan is an idiot" he added
Mr.. Marshall then alluded TO the
Hobson incident and said that it grew
man who fell on Hobson's neck and
kissed him. after which the naval hero
was DUBBED -Hobson. the Kisser."
though he was a brave man and pa
triot. In Europe they honor such men
as Hobson. declared the learned pro-
lessor, while here in America the news |
papers throw mud at him. He told the |
incident of the Dewey home as another |
instance of the unfairness of the news |
papers.
Still, we have TO read them" he |
added. otherwise we wouldn't know |
who are the prominent men of the coun-
try. It's too bad that we have to read |
them, but we do"
This point was illustrated by a con-
versation between two college students,
which he had overheard. One of the ]
youths mentioned the name OF Lyman I
Abbott. whereupon the other inquired.
Who is the duck?"
ms really disgusting that a person
Of supposed intelligence should not
know who Lyman Abbott is" he said.
Another college professor (neme un-
also met with the disappro-
baton of Mr.. Marshall. The professors
offense. as stated by Mr.. Marshall. was
that he met on the college campus a
man. was introduced TO
him and still failed TO recognize the
gentleman as a person of distinction.
and so the gentleman was not shown
Hue Difference and honor. In order TO
demonstrate the measure of this pro-
lessons failure. Mr.. Marshall gave the
name of the Visitor-Professor Pritch-
ard. household term everywhere that
