Helping Out the Government

THE constructive part that Washington newspaper
play in affairs of the Government is consider
able though not generally appreciated In The Con-
gressonal Directory" there listed hundred
names of newspaper men, each of whom represents in
the Capital metropolitan journal periodical Each
of these has usually mounted the rough ladder in
the home office. He has served chroncler of the
doings of police local legislators, local Judges. State
Legislature, local financial and railroad men, and has
probably won enough distinction in his work to COM
mand the confidence and of the men who control
his newspaper.
When he is sent to Washington to report the proceed
ngs of Congress and federal departments, he is given
credit of confidence and good judgment The articles
he writes the facts he to relate the conclusions
he draws the occasional advice he feels called upon
to give to Congressman Senator'S usually printed
as he composes them His editors consider that the
who has gained in the disciplinary part of his work
reputation for accuracy veracity cearness of STYLE
and Judgment we'll knowledge of local and general
conditions, is more to be trusted than public official
who has his own advancement to foster. Therefore.
cepons that may be taken his articles while always
given fair hearing must be proved before the cor
respondent receives a rebuke from his newspaper
OF course, there often considerations, termed
otce policy, that elicit instructions from editor
to correspondent to give all possible credit certain
Congressman Senator studously to underrate an
other; but these considerations confined generally
to so called big papers in the greater cities The
Louisville, Cincinnati Omaha Dallas correspondent,
for instance, instructed write only what he under
stands to be facts mention these cities specifically
only give idea of the type of newspaper leaves
its Washington policy to its correspondent. There are
Others, of course.
President Taft aiming at this mark when, in a
talk to the members of the National Press Club of Wash
ington last winter, he asked all the correspondents
to call upon him whenever they desired. He said

~ 1OWHERE in the United States does the news
IN paper writer so closely approach the English
and French status of his profession as in the
city of Washington. In city town is the news
paper entirety anything short of reckoned power
but nowhere in the United States save in Washington
is the individual representative of newspaper being
pleased, pacated, and treated equal by the
exalted in affairs.
Even here there is distinction, though only the dis
corning the initiated public official understands it,
for of the larger newspapers employ than
representative in Washington and appeal may be taken
to the bureau chief. If the Congressman Senator
Cabinet officer who makes the appeal has just griev
ance he usually secures satsfaction; but if he cannot
disturb the arrangement of facts against which he pro-
testing he finds himself in the coyotes position sus
pect whether sitting peaceaby his launches baying

he understood that the Washington representatives of
the smaller but powerful newspapers shaped the
tional policy of their publications; predcated, to be
sure upon the party afiaton lack of it, assumed
by the respective publications. The big papers, he had
been told said the President laid down definite policies
to be pursued.

laton which robbed the President of much just praise

are about to be born newspapers simply have to have
STORY. If their representatives enabled to dis
the reports with the chiefly affected and to
gain clear intelligence of their trustworthiness and
attendant circumstances. they present the condition
properly to the public
They tell with chuckes story in Washington that
the bureau of New York newspaper night received
the following telegram:
There is something in the air. Send three thousand
words
While the natural disposition of the bureau chief was

paper learn early in the game not to ask
sary questions This correspondent set about to find
what was in the air, and he sent as nearly three
thousand words as he considered justified
Each correspondent speaks daily his thousands and
millions of readers Upon his fairness, his judgment,
his ability to present situations depends to great degree
the public rating of men and measures In Washington
this is entirely understood. Congressman delivering
speech to four hundred colleagues is not nearly
cerned about its impression the floor he is about
its transmission to the newspapers and its reproduction

printed word that compes his consideration, the know
