journalism and Money.

To make the education of journal
lists at the State University more real
than ever, the students daily has
struck financial difficulties. This is
journalism as we all have known it.
Support for the school of journal
ism that is too generous would de-
prive the budding newspaper men of
that actual experience which hardens
the backbone and perhaps softens the
heart of the toiler in the ''fourth es-
tate
To be faithful soldier in the ranks
of journalism one must love her in
her poverty if he would later glory in
ner prosperity. Luxury is no cradle
for the profession that enlightens the
world.
Less sordid than others, its frugal
and almost ascetic virtue is preserved
because he that falls before tempta-
tion to strike his harp inspired by a
fatter pocketbook finds his cunning
gone and his talent paralyzed.
1t is as true now as when the first
'''New Letter" Of newspaper was
printed that the true journalist can
not work for money. Money he ac-
cepts even unto the most abundant
generosity of those who may bestow,
but not one brighter charm of style
or scintilation of wit will be added to
his output though salaries pile
mountain high. The genius of all
journalism lies in doing the best one
can out of the simple desire to do it.
Men of millions, magnates of rail-
roads, mines or finance sometimes
seek to buy outright to use for their
own purposes whole journalistic
plant that seems so wonderful to them
in its sway OF human forces.
They secure the machinery, the
building. the subscription lists and
all the physical visible property; but
something has eluded them; they
Resemble the boy who has caught the
butterfly, but with its coveted wings
AL despoilcd Of their beauty: the
'.minds" that made the paper didn''
and couldn't 90 in the sale; and it
falls to destruction. 1t is said you
can always buy brains. but you can
sS'y the right kind OF brains.
There isn't a single instance of {
great newspaper purchased by com
Snercial or industrial magnatc who
wished to employ its influence fol
personal purposes-and he buys i
for no other rcason-that It did no
gradually decay into ruin; though HI
may pour out his wealth like Mag
ra. A soullcss paper dies-unles'
some real newspaper man buys
Back again and rcvives its fain tin!
spirit.
So we hope the young men a
Columbia who are struggling to be
come journalists will not lose hear
because their funds are short
Nnat are funds to newspaper men
trihes light as air. We as laborer
in the vineyard to inform and uplil
our fellow-men must rise above har'

Senate Faxors Warrant Bill.

Senator Gove's bond bill to fund out
standing warrants with interest got
through the House on second reading
at Saturdays morning session. after a
prolonged discussion, taking so much
time that no other business was trans
acted. Mr.. Helbig proposed amend
ments regarding the taking up of these
warrants. He said that many of them
had been bought at heavy discounts.
some of the buyers paying only so per
cent OF the face value. Hence the peo-
pie who had first helped them had lost
a great part of the money. He was
willing that the state should pay to the
buyers OF the warrants just what they
had expended, and If there was some
way to make up to the original holders
what they had lost in the forced sale.
he would be willing they should be re-
imbursed up to the full amount of
their claim. His amendments were re-
jected.

The bill by Representative Hicks au-
thorizing the attoryey general to in.
vestigate the acts OF the government
regarding the public land and waters
of Colorado passed second reading in
the House. The main point is to see
to it that the state is getting its
rights from the government. The at
torney general is authorized to secure
special counsel and $4,000 is appro-
priated for expenses. Judge Hicks ex-
planned that the federal government
was exercising undue dominion over
public lands and water, and 1t was to
protect the interests of the people that
the bill was introduced.
