WATTERsoN KNOWS

Henry Watterson knew what he
was writing about in the editorial col
umns of the Louisville Courier-JOur-
nal when he said:
THE successful newspaper man
often remains a newspaper man. de-
spite chances for greater prominence
and greater compensation in business
or in another profession, finding con
tentment in cOngenial work. News
paper failures may be divided, rough,
ly, into two classes. They are the men
who cannot develop sufficient ability
to make these for themselves either in
newspaper work or out of it, and men
who, thinking not of yesterday or to.
morrow, but only of to-day. do indif-
fCrent work and in the end reap as
they have sOwn. To the latter class
belong many bright young men who
become derelicts and are pointed to as
examples of the 'demOraliz'ng effect
of journalistic work"
The good reporter must be a stu
dent of men, women, and events. The
cub" who has a nose for news
scents the good as we'll as the bad in
human nature and in human institu-
tons. To him "all the world is a
stage" As he gets his growth he be-
comes acquainted with the players,
not only as they strut in the limelight,
but also as they appear behind the
scenes, with robes and grease paint
and tinsel crown removed.
1t is said that the world knows moth
ing Of its great men. The reporter of
wide experience knows a great deal
of some Of them. He learns. of course
that some of the greatest are the small
est, and the sum total of his knOwl-
edge makes him sometimes an opti-
mistic cynic; he is rarely a pessimist.
He gets a sense of proportion and a
faculty for diagnosing men and dis
corning motives. In business as we'll
as in politics diplomacy is useful and
there is no better school of diplomacy
than the newspaper office.

TAKE UP THE WHITE MANS MUS.
KET

Take up the white mans musket,
The deadliest ones We make;
Go drill your sons to use it,
And then, for Jesus sake,
End them with ammunition
To hunt these heather wild,
Your new caught, sullen people,
On whom God never smiled.
Take up the white mans cannon,
The largest that We cast;
Go put it on your warships,
The strongest ones and fast
Speed them to heather countries.
Seek out each farthest spot,
And save these sullen people
With Bibles and with shot.
