CIVIC AND SOCIAL DUTIES OF
EDITORS.
Samuel Bowles Defines Them to
Young Newspaper Men.

Samuel Bowles, editor of the
Springfield, .(Mass.) Republican,
speaking on the journalistic field.
says:
at appears to me that the average
young man in college about to choose
his profession and considering jour
nalism among those that are open to
him is liable to overlook or to fail
to sufficiently regard the exceptional
civic and social responsibilities and
the corresponding opportunities for
service that attach to the newspaper
calling. To my mind, there is no in
dustrial OF professional occupation
that so constantly and so justly de-
mands from those engaged in 1t a
conscientious attention to the public
welfare as newspaper production.
While in the strictly economic sense
It is merely a manufacturing indus
try, in its social and moral aspects
it is a profession involving the
weiehtiest obligation I think, there
fore, that young men should not en-
bark in it who do not feel dis
tinct call of duty to serve their fell
lows.
"The first qualifications necessary
for success IN journalism are charac-
ter, self control, the capacity to see
things straight, and the strength
which enables a man to pursue. stead
Easily the course of reason and to
resist wrong impulse and passion. In
dustrious habits are likewise essen
tial, for successful newspaper work
involves hard, persistent, patient la
Dor and often long hours and great
nervous and physical strain. 1t is
obvious to that journalism de-
mands a keen intellect, good mem
DRY, talent for detail and accuracy
and yet a breadth of view that en-
ables a man to see large things in
a large way-in a word, brains, the
best type of mental machinery that
man of character can develop"

Members of the Order of Calanthe
Have Resorted to Court to Settle
Their Bitter Fight.

Strife between Margaret A. Wo-
mack and officers of Beacon Light
Court, No. /, Order of Calanthe of
Illinois, was carried into the courts
April "a when Mrs. Womack, through
her attorney, w. NJ. Farmer. fled a
bill in the Circuit court asking the
officers of the order be restrained
from suspending her.
The suit is directed against Fannie
Mason, worthy counsellor, Amanda
Poole, chairman of the trail commit
tee, and Annie Fits, secretary.
Mrs. Womack charges that the de-
PENDANTS fraudulently and unlawfully
conspired to have her suspended from
the court and that the Order of Ca
lanthe fraudulently and contrary to
the constitution and bylaws of the
Order, preferred false charges against
her. Mrs. Womack also charges that
while she was absent from the city
on a sad mission in Ohio and charges
were preferred against her and COM
mittee to try the charges; that she
was not present when the committee
was appointed and had no voice at
all in its selection; that she took no
part in the trying of the charges
against her because she knew all
they did was irregular. As evidence
of the unfair methods practiced bY
this trial committee. she states in
her bill that one Martha Cranshaw
was a member of the committee and
acted as a witness against her al
the trial
1t is unfortunate that members of
these organizations can't see the
value of being fair toward the mem
ners of the Order. so as to keep
their disputes and differences out of
court. 1t simply serves to show the
ack of self-government on the part
Of many of our race and to cause
he expenditure of money that other
wise could be used toward building
ip the organizations.
