ADVERTISER Vs. JOURNALISM

Journalism, as it exists at present, is the tutor to the incalculable masses of self conscious democracy. Were We without the newspaper popular judgment would be paralyzed and formless. This democracy cannot en- dure unless popular opinion can be kept healthful sane, and interrupted. Our nation, constituting republic far greater than the public's imagination, has yet been able to conceive, re- lies upon its health, sustenance. and it's perpetuity upon an enlightened free, and never fearing press
 Journalism differs from the ordin- ary commercial enterprise in many ways, chiefly that the newspaper in its essential characteristic lays open to the reading public each day it's intimate thought and most confiden- tial purpose
 The mere fact that the newspapers material prosperity is dependent on it's business support, which latter in its turn is influenced by the extent to which the paper is sought by the public, illustrates most forcibly the delicate situation in which the hon. est journalist finds himself when he remains true to the ideals of the pro- fession. The public is capricious. Once let a suspicion find Judgement that newspaper is false to its stand

The problem whether to begin the Lakes to- the Gulf-deep waterway with the s2O,OOO,OOO voted by the state of Illinois or wait until Uncle Sam provides cash for putting in the locks and making the Illinois ditch waterway is under debate with dis
 tinguished champions for both sides. Isham Randolph, engineer for the sanitary district advocates immedi
 ate work, saying: Whether the gov ernment helps or not, l believe the state of Illinois should go ahead as far as lies within our means. We should complete the canal from Lock
 port to Utica, 300 feet wide, and then is Uncle Sam is not willing to accept this gift at the hands of our people, Illinois at least will have its own canal, which eventually will pay for itself" However, Lyman E. Cooley, the father of the drainage canal' and conspicously the champion of the deep waterway says now is no time for imprudent haste. "The $20,0Oo,- 900 voted for waterway will do ev erything but build the locks" said MT. Cooley. We can ascertain within years time whether there is hope of government cooperation. I have no doubt that congress will assist us. l believe that the cooperation of congress is more certain than that we will secure the passage of a bill through the present legislature. Af- ter the report of the engineers in 1905 a bill introduced in congress was defeated ingloriously on the theory that Chicago wanted to take water out of the lake for water power
 Now the state of Illinois proposes to confirm that point of view by pro- ceeding to construct a canal imme- diately for water power. I appre- bend that when the people of Illinois voted for the amendment they voted for a waterway and not for water power. If we insist upon working chiefly for the power we will kill the waterway to the gulf. Then the cost of the construction of a waterway has been nder-estimated. Before the waterway can be built S7,5O0, 900 must be added to the $20,OOO,O 900.

 An advertiser who assumes or as serts the right to buy the honor and independence of the journals thought and action strikes a blow at the most cherished possession of a free people. for he, unconsciously. perhaps. but nevertheless directly. seeks to abridge the privileges of the community's free speech and independent thought Many advertisers in the past have thought that because they have had large pub licity bills they should have the right to dictate the principles and thought of the journal in which their publicity appeared. that they should be privileg- ed to voice in the news or the dis cussiOn of public questions If the whims of the advertiser should be all lowed to sway the editors opinions and course of action how long will the journal have the good will of the read ing public and its confidence

YOU feel uneasy at the coming OF the

few in number, and II you but gave
the word il would be an easy matter
10 make them captives and send them
back across the mountains TO the sea.
He was speaking OF the strange men
who had recently entered the city.
They were Spaniards led by Cortez
and they were the first white men
who had ever seen the wonders Of
the great ca pital from which the war
like Aztecs governed the surrounding
nations. Among the multitudes of dark
skinned people there seemed only a
handful Of them, although they had

he
shining armor that made the Aztec
arrows harmless against them were
also strange and wonderful TO the In
dians.
II was thought at first that they
were not men but gods, and that they
were immortal. but this idea was dis
PEELED during the nghting which
marked their progress from the gulf
Of Mexico across the empire. Nam
knew well that Montezuma did not
wish them to come TO the capital, and
that their unwelcome presence filled
him with alarm, yet he had allowed
them TO enter and had even gone out
himself to meet them as a friend when
II would have been easy 10 keep them

WAYS which had been built for miles
from the shore. These causeways were
entered by gateways of stone, which
might have been defended. but the en-
peror had ordered the gates TO be
raised and had taken the white men
into the city, giving them quarters in
ore Of the great palaces near his own.
Il know that your majesty is wiser
than 7. the boy continued, but I can
not help feeling that while the strang-
ers remain in the city there is danger
10 you and 20 the empire"
Why Go you think so?" the emperor
asked uneasily.
Because il seems to me that these
men would not have come so far for
nothing" Nam replied. They say. that
they were sent TO bring you the greet
ing of their king across the water. but

denly disappeared. Strange, fierce
beasts, never seen before, have been
captured by huntsmen. The earth has
been shaken and the mountains have
sent forth fire and smoke. Far away in
lonesome places travellers nave heard
the sound of wailing voices both by
night and by day. We are in the hands
of the gods, and it is useless to try to
turn aside whatever it is that must
come. We can only wait"
Would it not be better to die?" Nam
asked.
IF we had only ourselves to think of,

ruler must think of his people. l can
not bring upon them the ruin that they
may perhaps escape If 1 leave the mat

raising his head proudly and assuming
a more composed look.
There was changing of armor and
a murmur of rough voices speaking in
a strange tongue as the white men
came into the chamber. Nam watched
them as they bowed before the em-
peror, exchanging polite greetings,
which were translated by woman of
Aztec blood who had been taken cap
tive by the strangers and had learned
their language. Their chief, who was
called in their language fernando
Cortez. was young man with a yellow
beard and blue eyes. Nam noticed
that although they paid difference to

him as their friend, the glances they
cast upon him and upon the gold and
jewels that he wore were greedy and
cruel.
"They have the eyes of robbers!"
the boy said to himself
Montezuma invited his guests to be
seated, and they took places upon
couches beside him and at his feet.
II hope that you are comfortable in
the palace that my father built" the
emperor said, after they had talked for
some time.
This kindly remark evidently gave
the strangers the chance for which
they had been waiting. Nam saw them
exchange secret glances, as much as to
say to one another that the time for
action had come He leaned forward
the better to catch the reply of Cortez.
We thank YOU" the white leader
replied. I'VE are comfortable beyond
anything that we dared to hope. In
deed, your highness has treated us as
a brother. One thing alone remains to
complete our satisfaction
What is that?" Montezuma asked,
suspecting nothing. "Speak, and it
shall be granted to YOU"
1T is that your majesty would con-
descend to pay us a visit, Cortez re-
piled. 1T would give us joy to tell
our emperor when we return home that
you not only showed us every kind
ness for his sake. but that you trusted
us so completely that you made your
self our guest"
Montezuma started, and he glanced
hastily at Nam, who ventured to shake
his head in entreaty to the emperor not
to consent.
"It is not fitting that the emperor
who rules all men in this country
should become the guest of any man.

whom they speak? We have never
heard OF him before, and 1 don't believe
that he ever heard Of US. 1 think these
men have not told US the truth and
that they mean nothing good"
Il believe that you are right" Monte
yuma said. and 1 have long thought so.
You are too young to know the secrets
Of the gods"
I'm the northern country from which
l came" Nam replied, the gods loved
courage and they fought on the side of
the brave and the strong"
He expected to see Montezuma frown
at these bold words, and he knew well
that had a couFtier used them to the
proud emperor they would nave meant
his banishment at least; but he felt
that some evil would come unless the
emperor reused himself to action, and
he hoped that he would rouse himself
for very shame. He was disappointed
The emperor did not heed what no had

WINNERS OF THE JUNIOR PAINT BOX PRIZES

ERE is the picture of the boy feed
ing the swans, and another fine
chance for the artistic and indus
beautiful coloring. The girl and the
noisy fourth" on the beach brought a
very large number of lovely pictures
to the office of The Junior Call. and the
editor hopes to have even more next
week.
This picture work is for the younger
juniors only, those who are 10 years of
age and younger Twenty paint boxes
will be awarded to 20 pictures most
artistically and neatly colored.
Color your picture as quickly as pos
sible and mail it to the editor of The
Junior Call so that it will arrive not
later than Wednesday afternoon, as
pictures received after that time can
not be used.
There is one point upon which the
editor desires the children to be a
little more particular, and that is to
write their names and addresses as
plainly as possible, and in all cases to
give the city or town as we'll as the
street and number. This is very i'm
portant, indeed, because the editor has
no means of knowing whether the city
is San Francisco, or Oakland, or Berke-
ley, or Sacramento, or some other town
unless 1t is written on the picture that
is submitted.
The younger juniors who have been
awarded prizes for painting the picture
of the Girl and the Noisy Fourth" are:
