DEMAND MEN OF EXPERIENCE.

According to Bulwer, Cardinal Rich
ellen held that in dictionary COM
piled expressly for youth" the word
fall" must be omitted.
However, Richelieu, when he ex-
man, wanted only a messenger, one
who would do what he was told to do.
one who would carry " a message to
Garcia" as was said in later days.
1t does not appear that Richelieu
was in the habit of entrusting the
planning Of the business in hand to
young blood" He, himself, had lived
many years. Only In his later years
did he reach the place of great
authority. He might easily and truth
fully have uttered an epigram point
ing out the value of judgment which
comes only with years and experience
and such an epigram, with Bulwer
to give it publicity, might now be as
well known as the other.
The world has selected but few
young men like Napoleon and William
Pitt.
We have seen, in the time beginning
twenty years ago, wave of young
blood" tapping our business world. 1t
may be that the social and business
upheavals of recent years have been
only coincident with the placing Of au-
thority in the hands of youth.
But men who travel much and OBJ
serve closely. are just now telling us
that there has set in a reaction, and
that the wisdom which comes from
hard experience of long years is risig
coming back to Its own in the seat of
authority.
There is certain powerful news
paper in this country which is charac-
terized by the wits-"A great news
paper in times Of peace"
The point is plain to most readers
of the paper-and it has circulation
of about 100000 daily 1t seems to
have the attribute of calmness, no
matter how exciting the times. The
men at the heads of the different de-
partments have been trained through
many years. They are not moss
backs" though the bright young re-
porter and the brilliant young adver-
Using solicitor gives way to i'm
patience and expresses contempt for
their conservatism.
The mind of the. world today Is full
of projects for peace. The great ma
jority Of editors and publishers look
forward to peace.
To be "a great newspaper in times
of peace"-is not that most of all to
be desired by every publisher just
nowo
1t is inevitable that with peace shall
come again the authority of wisdom
gained through experience.
Youth itself is but an experience.
Let us hope that youth will not con-
tinue to scorn age, but that the youth
full newspaper man will bow to the
wisdom Of those who once were young,
like him, and lacking, like him, in
judgment.
We think the time is at hand when
men of maturer years shall be kept in
places of responsibility by publishers.
