the ages and reached their apogee in
him.
Pulitzer was one of the greatest
journalists, one of the canniest, far
seeingest, most original who has ever
lived.
He revolutionized newspaper meth
DDS.
And his slogan cry was accuracy.
This was one of his obsessions.
One he pointed his reporters to, One
he insisted upon. With lack OF which
he had no patience. Seen in the be-
quest in his will for the establishment
of a prize for the example Of report
er's work which will show accuracy,
terseness and the accomplishment OF
some public good"
But first OF all he put ACCURACY"
He knew this was the basis OF all
news gathering. 1t was the crucible
through which the life of the world
was fused each day into the printed
page.
Whatever the decorative accessor-
les of verbiage and narrative. there
must be the foundation of fact.
1t was this love for and insistence
upon accuracy that served as a lever
to help build his great newspaper
fortune.

almost alone.
Money has been left to endow art
museums and. occasionally, some in
stitution of musical instruction. But
for the single purpose OF putting an or
ches on a basis of independence OF
uncertain public support this is un
ique.
1t is something which should be
done in every town of any considera
| BILE size in this country. Abroad or
| chestral organizations are fOstered by
i the government, in many instances
especially in Germany. Each German
principality has 4 musical organiza
ton under its patronage.
In this country where the arts must
subsist on the pleasure of the people
uncertainty restricts achievement.
In our own town an impetus to mt
steal culture incalculable would at
tend the endowment of the Richmond
Symphony orchestra.
An endowment which would not ne
cessarily need to be excessive. En-
ough to insure it's continuance
through feeling OF security that its
organization would not end in nullity
That its artistic spirit could be accen
tuated through independence.

string Of coolies working hand over

MRS. CATHELL DESIGNS CHRISTMAS CARD
This Artists Work Is Attracting Wide Attention.
Joseph Pulitzer Greatest Journalist En-
dowed Orchestral Music

Try regulations, ne jumped from the
boat and swan ashore lodging the Of
ticials by the skin of his teeth"
And he died multi-millionaire, the
owner of one of the greatest news
papers in the world, the New York
World.
Pulitzer was, of course, a genius.
With equal opportunity very few
could have accomplished so dizzy a
climax.
But nonetheless it is a showing OF
what can be done by ambition, added
to brilliant mentality and compile
mented by god-like energy.
And then the fates were with him.
There are some people who can't
succeed.
They may seemingly possess every
qualification that makes for success.
And yet prove miserable failures.
Failures" as the world measures
success.
Thoreau. in instance, was looked
upon with pity, patronage and. indeed.
with certain contempt, by his towns
men.
Still his name is one of the greatest
in the literature of this country.
In his philosophy the mess Of ac-
cumulated things in which everyone
is more or less engulfed, was to him
unimportant and, in way, amusing.
A cabin with a table, chair and cot
was all ne wanted or needed.
This, however, is not the failure,
which cannot succeed.
The latter is governed by the fates
Or by an admixture of heredity and
environment which holds it's victim
inevorably in the shackles Of circum
stance.
Struggle he never so fiercely he
cannot free himself from its meshes
Effort after effort is made to shake
1 off the encumtering mystery that
keeps him from accomplishment. Fin
ally he succumbs. He bows his head
to the fate that pursues him. He rec
ognizes there is some unknown force
he cannot combat. Something malig
nant, relentless, personal that dogs
his steps.
Moralists and materialists laugh
this down. They say everything lies
within yourself. That you are the
molder of your own fortunes. Thai
you make or mar your own life
That you are your own fate. You
own worst enemy or best friend
That heredity and environment have
absolutely nothing to do with the di
rection of your own life.
! They frown on "fatalism."
There is no such thing as fate.
! The moralists call it God"
The materialists deny its existence
i And all the time they know that
way down at the bottom of things
, there is this terrible. cruel, myster
ious, memorable force riding down the

Pulitzer was the darling of thu
GODS
His energy was innate.
His ambition was part of his en-
dowment.
The fortunate fates cleared hi
road. Smoothed the obstacles. Elimi
mated the difficulties. Seemingly
was Pulitzer who whipped aside ever
hindrance. 1t was, in fact. Pulitzer

veloped and overhadowed him. H

The Pine Of Peace.

The North American Indian usually
made his pipes out CT kind Of stone
known as red pipe stone. Of which
there were large deposits in the old
Sioux country. and the Great Spirit is
said to have given his Endorsement to
this particular material. which might
have been Sioux monopoly. in these
words: This stone Is red. 1t is your

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.

Mrs. J. E. Cathell, Of this city, who
signs her artistic product "E. S. Ca
thell," has just issued her annual
Christmas card which is on sale at
Nicholson & Bro. and otherwhere.
and which is an attractive example OF
decorative art.
Mrs. Cathell's Christmas and Easter
cards put out within the past two
years have attracted wide attention
and have been in demand in Boston,
New York and other eastern cities. as
we'll as in this section, her peculiar
individual talents lending themselves
to this phase of decorative expression
most admirably.
This years card varies pronounced
ly from those of former seasons in its
attractive motive and form, the
green and red of the holly, its leaves
and it's berries, being used in conven-
tionalized effects, swirl of the leaves
accented by the red of the berries, ap-
pearing in squares In each corner,
these, with panels of more ornamental
austerity enclosing the lettering-a
sentiment from Phillips Brooks
The World has grown old with its
burden of care but at Christmas it is
always young"
The initial letter, pictorially charm
ing, and the word "Christmas,' are in
the holly color, the rest in that of the
leaves.
On the inside of the folder is a
, Christmas greeting.
Mrs Cathell. whose art has recently
expressed itself in decorative forms,
produces in other media, being a
landscapist of charm in both oil and
water-color although very little of the
latter has been seen in exhibition
here. Her instant success with the
. more decorative aspects of art in her
initial examples, and the demand
created for it on the part of the pub
! lie, presages further brilliant achieve
ment.

The Courier herewith pub

Topeka, Kan, the first chapters
of which were published last
week. This letter is one of a
series Of reminiscent articles

be able to give it's readers more
of these deeply interesting
"reminiscences.
