JUST CAN'T FIND NICE EDITOR
So Writer Pines for Panama. Where
Men Mt Desks Bow, and Bow,
and Row.

anu DOWs
Mr.. Henry Hunter Niemeyer says he
will soon return to Panama. He is a
gentle being whose soul trays on hard
usage The rude manners of our work
aday city ruffie him. He finds there
is a lack of that generation for genius
to which he is accustomed-he OBJ
serves certain haste and crudity in
our methods-he notes total absence
of the cold cream of courtesy.
Especially among city editors"
says Mr. Niemeyer. Il do not like
city editors, as a class. / think they
lack delicacy and refinement. Also.
they do not look pretty. They get
their red noses i'm mess of copy, and
let themselves go unshaven. and
have a habit of conducting conversa-
ton by a series of barks, like Don,
the Talking Dog. And | have noted
that when young literary men ap-
proach them and wish to enter into
the young literary men very errone-
ously think they can snare job-the
average city editor behaves in a posi-
lively brutal fashion. The average
city editor. in my belief, would be en-
cellent to chaperon string of sixteen
hand mules hauling bOraX out of
Death Valley. but he is unfit for po-
sition requiring a certain nicely of po-
liteness.'
Mr. Niemeyer compared the average
city editor of the North American con-
tinent very unfavorably with the
average city editor anywhere south of
New Orleans. "In Spanish news
paper Office" said Mr.. Niemeyer.
when a reporter enters the office he
removes his hat and bows politely to
the city editor. The city editor takes
off his hat and rises and bows cere-
moniously to the entering reporter.
Then the reporter advances to the
desk and they shake hands. If they
are particularly good friends. who
have been separated for some little
space of time. they may kiss each
other. The city editor gives the re-
porter his assignment. They shake
hands. At the door the reporter
bows to the city editor. The city ed
itor rises and returns the bow. I
think that the ethics of journalism in
a Spanish speaking country requires
the city editor to wave a handkerchief
from the window at the reporter as he
passes and say 'yOo-hoo.' but OF this
I am not certain. The city editors Job
on a Spanish paper is a very exhaust
ing one especially when number OF
reporters are employed. On big day.
when there is a fire. or a murder. or
some one has slapped an American
and had his face beaten in, the city
editor almost bows himself to death.

AsnRRY SPECTACLE.

Senator Lorimer Is fighting IN the
last ditch. That ditch lie a shallow one.
In his closing argument. in an effort to
show that he should be allowed to re-
tain his seat, the auburn haired SEN
ator from Illinois presented sorry
figure. His speech was no defense at
all, but rather an attack on those who
are insisting upon a senatorial house
cleaning Driven to a corner. his last
resort was the heaping Of abuse on
newspapers. on Colonel Roosevelt. on
Senators Lea and Kenyon and on 9TH
ers who assume to stand for purity in
politics.
Lor1mer sought TO throw dust In the
eyes OF his colleagues by calling other
men political crooks and dishonest bus
iness men. He scarcely touched upon
the charges of bribery in the Illinois
legislature. HIS tactics were those of
a pettifogging lawyer In a case where
the law and the evidence are all
against him. Lorimer presented sorry
spectacle in his plea to be permitted
to wear a coat OF whitewash over his
senatorial toga. His last appeal was
dramatic yet only an appeal to pre-
iudice.

WHY INVESTIGATES?

Editor Times Republican: When
eleven states hold primaries and one
candidates delegates receive approx
mately a half million more votes than
are cast for the other candidate, and
then the national committee says: To
hell with the preference OF the people;
We'll seat delegates for the man we
want. not the man the people want.
Why not call a spade spade. no mat
ter what candidate for Office 1t may
strikeo
Just plain truth is the only thing the
people want today. Barnes. Penrose,
Crane. Mckinley, ct al. stole abso-
lutely the nomination for President
Taft. Progressives standpatters. dem
ocrats. prohibitionists. socialists know
it Rich and poor know, old and young
know it. Why then, investigate? Why
not come out in the open and repudiate
the receiver of stolen goods.
Theodore Roosevelt dares to speak
the truth he dares call people who steal
thieves, and this is why he is popu-
lar. The writer was in Chicago during
the convention and saw the theft. Il
was so plain that even the thieves
themselves had to smile at the very
rawness Of the thing. In the face Of
this. it's folly TO talk about an investi
CATION and Cummins knows better. l

gressive or otherwise. who does not ad-
