BENZ. FRANKLIN: JOURNALISTS.

Few men of any age or nation have
spent their lives i'm as varied a way As
did Benjamin Franklin. Philosophy. sci
cnce. business. literature. politics. and
philanth hropy were all branches of study
and endeavor in which he was no small
figure. Perhaps. the most interesting
part i'm his life was in connection with
journalism. He has been called-and
rightly So-the father OF printing in
America for. though he was not the
first printer. his services to the press
were such as to entitle him to that
place.
Ii we look at the printing office and
product of the Newton England Cour-
ant. one of the first papers published
in this country. We shall get an idea of
what American journalism was before
Franklin influenced it for the better.
This paper was published in Boston
about l722 by lanes Franklin. a broth
er. benjamin was an apprentice. 1t
was a small. weekly sheet. having prac
tically no advertisements. a very limited
circulation and. although quite
sensational in its attacks against
incubation for smallpox. and its two
weekly advcr>aricS. it was very lackin"
in real news and wholesome opinion.
In the publishing of this paper. Benia-
min. at the age of sixteen. was printer
and circulator. He had been appren-
ticed To his brother only after he had
contemplated nearly every other trade
of the day with the hope on his ia
therS part that it would kill his mad
desire to 90 to sea. This it seems to
have done. but the apprenticeship prov
ed anything but pleasant. for James
was hard master and he and Benia-
min did not get along very well. 1t
was not very many years, until the

devoted their attention to the various
phases of the life of Lincoln. The truth
is. as the years ho gy. the veneration

and went to New York and then to
Philadelphia.
1t was the spectacle he made as he
walked up one of the streets of Phila-
delphia at this time, with a loaf OF
bread under each arm and one quickly
disappearing. that has become SO uni
versalIy connected with Franklin. Lit
tie did young girl think. as she laugh
ed at his peculiar appearance on that
day. that sometime he would be her
husband and that some day there in
that city he would lay the first real
foundation for modern journalism.
1t was not until after his return from
his first trip to England that Franklin
was able to give expression to his
ideas about running paper. In l129.
in Philadelphia. he bought and reorgan-
lied the Gazette lie had for a while a
partner. but opportunity permitted and
he soon took charge of the paper alone.
1t was i'm the publishing of this paper.
that Franklin earned the praise that has
come to him as a newspaper man. The
paper was full of life. full of that sage
philosophy and wit which characterized
Poor Richard. The editor was firm but
not quarrelsome: he filled his paper
with interesting news and comment. but
not with wranglings. He edited the
best newspaper in the colonies. one
which published no libclS and fOmcnted
no quarrclS. which quickened the intel
li"ence of Pennsylvania. and gave the
first real onward impulse to the press in
America. He was the first to turn to
practical account the great power of ad-
vrrtiSing which has since come to be-
such Il factor in business. He published
Poor Richard. thus giving the best of
wit and wisdom i'm such way that the
readers of the time could understand
and appreciate it. He lent indiSpcnSa-
be aid through his paper to the i'm
provcmcnt and bettcrment of humanity.
He taught to journalism the great les
sonS of service. kindness. industry and
honesty.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

1t has been said that one poet i
worth a hundred statesmen. AS many
self-,tylrd statesmen live in our own
day and have in all the ages. that as
sertion may he true: but it is quite ri
diculou-. when We come to contemplate
such statesmen aS Abraham Lincoln.
The value of the poet l.. that he cN-
presses in sweet music the life OF the
time i'm which he lives. or he brings new
inspiration and hope in the songs he
sings. or he does both. The truly great
poet does much To better mankind. His
greatest opportunity lies in the po>~ibil-
ity Of drawin" humanity from the Snr-
did things of life to Il consideration Of
the higher and >wcctcr things. and in
the extent To which he succeeds. he has
a claim to greatness. That i the only
true estimate of worth and greatness
havin" made life for others more worth
while.
In the light of such a definition of
greatness Lincoln has claim To Il place
among the very greatest of all time.
He made life-or tried to make it-a
better thing for all who came i'm CON
tact with him He did so by very
reason OF his nature. Looking back on
the stormy days in which he lived. we
are too prone to consider him in the
same light with many of the men who
made that terrible time an opportunity
for >clf-advanccmcnt But the history
of his life and a consideration of his
character show lis that he was one of
the few men of his time who was deep
ly moved by the holy desire to better
mankind. And that is why both those
of the South and those of the North
honor and love Lincoln He was ever
kind and conSideratc: he was not look
ing To advance himself: he felt the bur-
den of great responsibility and he

After this discussion of the location.
he took up with me the question of
building the road The law of 1862 had
failed to bring any capital or men to
undertake the work. and | said to him
that in my opinion private enterprise
could not build the road. Mr.. Lincoln
said that the government had its hands
full and could not undertake the work.
but was ready to support any company
to the fullest legal extent. and amend
the law so as to enable such a company
to issue securities that would furnish
the necessary funds.
From Washington | went to New
York. where | met the parties then
connected with the Union Pacific rail-
way. John A. Dix. Henry Farnam. T.
G. Drant. George Francis Train and
others. and informed them of the result
of my visit and what President Lin
coin had said. They We're greatly en-
cOllraTed. and Immediately went to
work on the preparation of the measure
which was afterwards presented to
Congress and passed as the Union Pa
cific Bill of 1864. Under this the road
was built in some four years. although
Congress had allowed ten Years for its
construction. and feel that it was Lin
coins faith. energy and comprehensive
grasp of what the building of the road
meant to the United States that induced
Congress to pass liberal laws and made
it possible to raise the funds to accom-
pliSh the work.

Different From Lincoln.

To the Editor Of the University MisSouran:
Tuesday night was fine for sleeping.
but nevertheless it was unfortunate to
have the lights 90 out just when the
students had become interested i'm their
books. The students could not have
followed LincOln's method of study ex-
cept by opening the furnace door in the
basement. Then the thoughts would
turn to the stories of the German stu
dents in the Rathskeller rather than
working out the intricacies of logic.

r IFTI Years ago Abraham Lincoln
then little village of Council Bluffs,
on the Iowa side of the Missouri river.
and the owner of the adjoining property
was Clement l.. Nallandin"ham. 1t was
in part as Il result of the first of these
facts that my friendship with him began
and continued on terms that | shall ever
cherish in my memory.
Abraham Lincoln had Just passed his
fifticth year when |. then Il young civil
engineer. first saw him. The place was
Council Bluffs and the occasion of this,
the wcsternmo>t Journey that he ever
took. such as to give me certain inti-
macy OF acquaintance even from the be-
ginning.
My first work in an engineering corps
WAS i'm 1853 on the Chicago X Rock Is
land railroad. as it built westward from
Chicago. We made survey for the
extension of this line all the way across
Iowa To the Missouri river. and estab
li>hed the terminals of the road in
Council Bluffs. | bought the eighty acres
on which these terminals were located.
and Subdividcd the tract. Il portion be-
ing taken by Rock Island interests and
Il portion by the citizens OF the town.
When the Rock Island share was dis

by y. B. Judd, the general attorney OF
the road Mr.. Judd was prominent H.
Iinoi> Republican. the intimate friend of
Mr. Lincoln. and his representative in
his debates with Senator Douglas. Lin
coins attention was drawn to the prog
rcsS of the road westward. and to the
opportunities it created. He therefore
bought from Mr. Judd a portion of his
interests in this tract. and exactly half
a century ago visited Council Bluffs for
the purpose of seeing the country and
looking after his real estate interests.

being selected as this initial point. |
found Mr. Lincoln well posted in all the
controlling reasons covering such selec-
tion and We went into the matter at
length and discussed the arguments pre-
scented by the different competing local
tiles.
1t is singular fact that while the
United States had spent great deal of
money in exploration for feasible line
for the Pacific railroad. the government
never had examined the natural route
along the forty second parallel of lati-
tudc. All the surveys had been made
and all the data obtained by private
citizens connected with the Rock Is
land railroad. at the head of which was
