come In both 81. Louis and New
York the progress % .hs two news
papers under his Guidsnce has been
sisnsllsed BY an enormous and far
reaching influence for good among all
classes Of people. When Mr.. Pulitzer
bought the New York World party
organs were the fashion among Ameri-
can newspapers He DID more to
abolish them than any journalist the
country has ever known. Though q
strong Democrat, he criticised his own
party as savagely as he did the oppo-
sition. He reported Republican convsn-
tons and meetings a. fully and a. i'm
partially as he did those OF the Demo-
cratic party.
Personally Mr.. Pulitzer was one OF
the most charming and entertaining
men OF his time. as those who knew
him Intimately can readily testify. He
was devoted 70 his profession. lie be-
iieyed In publicity as a means Of pro-
noting what was best for the peopts
and to expose graft and w~rongdoing.
He was ever earnest In promoting with
all his mighty power what he believed
was for the greatest good Of the greatest
number. CHARLES II. TAYLOR,
Editor the Boston Giobs.

SETH LOw-i am very sorry to learn
OF Mr.. PuiitSer's death. II was my
privilege to know Mr.. Pulitser on HE
ideal side. by his generosity thirty
young men every year have been sols
to 20 through college. To enable them
10 do this Mr.. Pulitzer has allowed them
each $50 a year for seven years, three
In high school and four in college. Be-
cause Columbia helped Mr.. Pulitser 10
carry out his purpose effectively Mr..
Pulitzer gave to Columbia 500. 900. Sub
sequentiy he gave 10 Columbia 81. 0o0. 900
to establish a school OF Journalism. It
was characteristic Of him that he
should ask that the development Of
this school be delayed until he himself
had passed AWAY. Mr.. Pulitzer conf
IDENTIFY hoped by this chooi to plscs
me profession OF Journalism psrma-
nently on a higher plane. I hope that
Columbia may be able to make this
school a worthy monument TO the deal.
Ism that formed so vital q part Of xr.
Puli,zer's character.
WILLIAM y. HORNBLOwER-Nr.
Pulitser's career has been a marvellous
example OF journalistic success. The
influence which he has exsrted upon

not be exaggerated. As q Newspaper

ship. a daily photograph OF current
events In city, State and nation and In
foreign countries. But Il a In the
editorial department that Its influence
became potent as a moulder Of public
opinion. To this department Of his
paper Mr.. Pulitzer gave his personal
attention and supervision. The policy
Of his newspaper on public questions
was to him a matter OF tho deepest
concern. He aimed to keep hat policy
~courageously Independent and repre-
sentative OF high ideals. Whether one
agreed or disagreed with the Views Of
The World on current political Quss-
lions. one could not but admire the
vigor and courage with which those
advocating the principles Of the Demo-
cratic party he did not hesitate to OPP
pose the party platform or the party
candidates when he believed them to
be In the wrong or TO be contrary 10
the best interests o. the country a he
understood them. I came in contact
with Mr.. Pulitzer in my professions
capacity on several occasions. especially
during the last year or two OF his life.
In my conversatlons with him I was
struck with his keenness and vfgor OF
intellect and with his strong couvictoas
ana tenacity Of purpose.
DE LANCEY NICOLL-Mr. Pulitxers
death removes from American affairs
probably the greatest Individual force
among US. No one exerted a greater
influence. II will be impossible TO al

and my relations at times were Gloss
enough to enable me to form q Just
estimate OF his mind and character.
Shortly after I had como to know Mr..
Pulitzer Roscoe Coniling. who had be-

he received with a shake Of the head.

Mr.. Pulitzer was an intellectual
prodigy. His mind was an engine OF
