because it really pays, and is deter
mined to have more and more of it.
In the gubernatorial campaign of 1904
we had a situation here never parallel
ed by another State. The candidates
of both the great parties for Governor
and the chairman of both State COM
mittees were newspaper men. That
condition evolved the epochal regime
of the late Governor John Albert John
son, whose amazing cleverness as adj
ministrator was derived no less from
newspaper training than from inherent
excellencies of mind and heart.
1t is only fair to say that much, very
much, of the credit accorded to the adj
ministration of Johnson was due to
his brother newspaper worker and Sec
rotary, Frank A. Day.

For myself alone do 1 speak. A
somewhat strenuous newspaper career
of over thirty-five years, with the in
cidental educative advantages of par

To me party labels are nothing, but

it advisable land who has notO to

to swerve hairs breadth from the
narrow path of official rectitude, to be
guilty of aught that smacks of dis

face and the menacing front of Duty's
dangers-this is not in him, nor can

ROLL
IS DIMINISHING

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-While
the number of pensioners on the rolls
of the United States decreased dur
ing the past fiscal year by more than
$4,000, the average annual value of
each pension at the close of the year
was slightly more than 50 greater
than a year previously, when it was
$169.82, according to the annual re-
port of James D. Davenport, COM
missioner of pensions, made public
today.

The value of newspaper training for
oficeholders is set forth, by John Tai
man, newspaper librarian of the Min
nesota Historical Society, in the Du-
luth Herald, advocating the election of
James Gray, late editorial writer of
the Minneapolis Journal, the Democra-
tic nominee for Governor. The four
newspaper men referred to in connec-
ton with the gubernatorial campaign
of 1904 were:
Candidates-John Albert Johnson,
Democrat, of the St. Peter Herald;
Robert c.. Dunn, Republican, of the
Princeton Union.
State Committee Chairmen-Former
Lieut.. Gov. Frank A. Day, Democrat,
of the Fairmont Sentinel, who has re-
tanned the craftsmanship ever since,
and Condo Hamlin, Republican, of the
st. Paul Pioneer Press. now business
manager of the New York Tribune.
Mr.. Talman says:
1t would be hard to overestimate the
value and Importance of newspaper
training as an asset in public service.
To begin with the judicial faculty
is as necessary at the editorial desk
as upon the bench of the Supreme
Court of the United States. The ma
tured habit of weighing carefully men,
measures and events enables the
newspaper writer to graple sanely
and successfully with the vexatious
problems of life.
The spirit of the representative
Journalist is above all pettiness, his
mind as unwarped by bias as is pos
sible to the fraility of human clay, and
his heart and soul are eternally at
war with sham, injustice, wrong and
uncharity.
He can say, too, with Bismarck: Il
fear nobody but God"
No calling like the newspaper busi-
ness, it seems to me, breeds quite such
width of view, such penetration into
the motives of men, such sympathetic
discernment, such accuracy of apprais-
al, such dizziness in winnowing the
grain of merit from the chaff of pro-
fession.
All this fits the country editor as
we'll as the editorial director OF the
big metropolitan daily. The differ
ence is in degree, not in kind.
Observe how material for exalted
political and business station is re-
cruited from the ranks of journalism
John Hay, the slave of newspaper Of
flee routine, becomes Secretary OF
State and one of the strongest diplo-
mats of the age. Whitelaw Reid, war
correspondent, is Ambassador to the
Court of St. James. From the post OF
reporter for a Chicago daily Frank
Vanderlip rises to Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury and president of the
most powerful national bank in the
United States. Such instances might
be multiplied.

Expenses Less bY s2oo.oOo.

The running expenses of the bur
eau and agencies decreased nearly
100000 during the past year, $2,657,-
679 being required to carry on the
work during the year.
The number of pension certificates
issued during the year was 97,242
This is the smallest number issued in
any one year for the last ten years.
The decrease is largely due to the
fact that nearly all of the surviving
soldiers and sailors or the civil war
are now more than sixty-two years of
age, and few claims are being filed by
them under the act of June q, 1890
Out of the eighty-nine cases pre-
sented to the Department of Justice
for prosecution on account of offens-
es against the pension laws, indict-
ments were found in seventy-one cas-
es. Sixty-one cases were brought to
trial during the year, and convictions
were secured in fifty-nve. At the
close of the year las cases were pen
ding. Money recovered from all
sources, inclusive of reclamation on
forged checks, amounted to $2O,557,
