GIVES PULITzER'S IDEAS
]. L. Heaton Tells How School
of Journalism Was Founded.

How the Pulitzer School or Journalism
at Columbia University came TO be round
ed was the subject of an address John H.
Heaton. Of THE World" delivered at
Columbia yesterday afternoon.
As early as 1904 Mr.. Pulitzer published
his plans for the school in The North
American Review" and after conferences
with Ambassador whitelaw Reid, of The
Tribune. and Samuel Bowles, OF Inc
Springfield Republican" he felt prepared
to go ahead with the work of the school
Mr.. Heaton continued:
Thus In August, 1903, Mr.. Pulitzer wrote:
AT the time OF the last census there
were IN the United States u4V13 lawyers
and 30.0eS persons classed as JOURNALISTS.
The legal profession was pr0 haIS , With
100 professors and instructors. For
fair proportion there should have been al
least 26 colleges OF journalism, with iacui-
ties 29l strong. There was not one.
ut is the fashion in the newspaper
world to say that this Is as II shouIo
be. 10 ridicue the idea OF training the
recruits of the press for their worh am
to insist that journalism, alone OF an
arts, sciences, trades and professions IN
tho world. cannot be Systematically
taught. but must be picked up as poy
picks UP a knowledge of swimming when
he is thrown into deep water. Some boys
drown. sv
"In former years a boy began the study
of law by sweeping out lawyers ONCE
or OF medicine by mixing pills for a couh-
try doctor. instruction for newspaper
work is still in the same stage"
Describing 1t as Laboratory work. In
the slang OF the colleges Mr.. Heaton
read to the students some of the actual
instructions sent by Mr.. Pulitzer from
time to time to his editors for the discus
sion of matters Of public policy These
would indicate all the better, perhaps
from their impromptu and unstudied
character how broad-minded editor
would wish topics of public importance
TO be handled. They "breathed the spirit
n, fairness. moderation and breadth"

BATTLE HYMN OF THE ANTI
BOSSES.

They are thronging to the battle TOT INC
ending of the Boss.
1.-THE World" is in the vanguard. careless
OF its gain or loss.
There will be no cry for quarter when us
sword and Murphy's cross
His doom Is marching on.
It has sworn to war against him thoush
all other hearts grow faint
Every man upon the ticket must be free
from Murphy faint.
Each must vow to fight the Tiger or be
outcast, though saint.
1.-THE World" is marching on.
BY its side brave Hearst Is STANDING
poised TO smite the wicked crew.
How the heart thrills at the promise OF
the great deeds he will do.
All the bosses and their creatures VIII be
driven from our view.
When Hearst comes marching on.
From the watch tower in Long Acre
comes another heartening cry,
For THE Times proclaims the order that
the Bosss rule must die,
An nti-Murphy ticket must assuredly be
nigh.
Reform is marching on.
THE campaign must be progressive" DR..
Wilson now commands.
II will have no Dixes yieldins 10 your
Tammany demands
And oGcrman from the Wigwam comes
TO hold the leaders hands.
Revolt goes bravely on.
There the Empire Staters rally. now at
last we shall be free:
They've been fooled before so often, no"
their frmness you will see.
They'll defend to death their leaders
Hinrichs, Putnam. Dougherty.
For Freedoms marching on.
From the Syracuse convention Suizer
comes forth. Murphy's choice;
He who long served under Croker and 10
Maynard gave his voice;
He who makes the party workers with
the hope OF spells rejoice
The Tigers marching on.
Quick the hosts Of antl-bossdom at his
feet their tribute lay.
See how Murphy's 'abd!cated' given
them Sohmer. Bensel, May!
when the Boss grows so progressive let
him live another day.
And Murphy still rules on.
To the Wigwam see them rushing,
world" and Times" and valiant
Hearst
In commencing Mister Murphy each Is
anxious to be first.
And you must support his ticket for he
didn't do his worst.
So Tammany stays on.
They sounded forth trumpet that should
never call retreat;
Their defiance to the Tiger should be
lasting and complete.
Now they turn to fight his battles ana
are fawning at his feet
The Boss is marching on.

CHECKING BALKAN STRIFE.

Ii would be easy TO indulge in
cynicism over the situation In the
Balkans. There is little that is edlfy-
ing In the spectacle Of Bulgaria, with
it's record Of the murder Of Stambuloff
and Of wholesale brigandage, and Of
Servia, still red with the blood Of a
butchered king and queen, raging
against Turkey on grounds Of humani-
ty: or in that OF Austria Hungary,
fresh from the rape Of the Servian
provinces, posing for the maintenance
Of sovereign integrity; or In that of
Russia. at this moment crushing the
last remnants Of independent life out
Of Finland, championing the rights OF
nationality In the Balkans; or, indeed,
Of the powers I'm general letting Turk
ish misgovernment 90 on unchecked
until there was danger Of smash in
which somebody else might perhaps
gain something. Nevertheless, we may
perhaps best pass these features Of the
case in silence, and be grateful If war
is averted and justice is done.
There Is no doubt cause for indig-
nation against Turkey on the part Of
the smaller Balkan states. 1t Is no
greater, however, than 1t has been
practically all the time for many years.
Indeed, II is probably less than 1t has
been. since there has certainly been
some Improvement Of Turkish admin
istration since the fall Of Abdul Hamid
and the PRONUNCIATION of the constitu
ton. The four states are moved not so
much by irresistible and righteous
wrath as by the cool calculation that
this is an opportune time to strike
n blow at Turkey for their own ag-
grandizement. AS for the great pow
ers. which are now intervening to re-
strain the minor states, they are
moved not so much by considerations
of good government I'm Macedonia or
of the wickedness OF war as by their
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1912-10-08

own unreadiness to divide turkey
among themselves and their unw1ihng-
ness that the Balkan states shouid tahe
even a step toward partitioning tna'
empire. They simply want the stdtas
quo maintained until they are ready 70
do the readjusting.
Nevertheless, It will be GOOD tning
to have the impending war averted.
It is always better, other things being
equal, to settle a matter In peace than
through war, and there is reason 10
think that In this case the peacerui
settlement will be In all respects
preferable to one secured on the field
Of battle. Whatever their immediate
motives, the powers Will be doing well
in insisting upon maintenance OF the
peace. The world hopes that they Will
succeed, and also that they will sup
plement their efforts with an effective
insistence upon the abatement of the
conditions which have given preteAt
for these warlike demonstrations.

MYSTERIOUS.

Governor Wilson has appeared in
Lincoln, the home city Of William j.
Bryan, and spoken in Mr.. Bryan's COM
pany at several meetings. But It is
noteworthy that even In the presence
of the man who was chiefly responsible
for the Democratic national platform
the Democratic candidate for President
exhibited as much indifference to that
instrument as he did in his acceptance
speech two months ago in the safe Sc
clusion Of Sea Girt. The platform is
no more "a programme" now than 1t
has been at any previous stage Of the
Wilson campaign.
Mr.. Bryan put into the platform this
year an entirely new declaration.
Through his efforts the national conven-
ton committed the party for the first
time to the principle of n single term
for Presidents In commencing that
reform in the administration of the
Presidential Office the Democratic party
stole n march on all competitors.
Though it foolishly declared for sin
Gle term of four years, instead Of six,
1t nevertheless by drawing attention to
the subject. performed a service for
which it can claim substantial credit.
1t is all the more mysterious, therefore,
that Governor Wilson still declines to
make the slightest allusion to the single
term pledge and that Mr.. Bryan, who
has been talking about the advantages
of the single term to audiences in Colo
RADIO and other Far Western states,
found no occasion TO bring the subject
M ut home while Mr.. Wilson was en-
joying his hospitality.
Can it be that the Democratic nomi-
nee for President finds the single term
plank an embarrassment and hopes to
ignore IL If he should happen TO win in
: November? Otherwise > the silence
treatment administered TO 1t at Lincoln
is hard to explain. The Democratic
party has Endorsed the single term prm-
ciple and bound Governor Wilson by IT..
Is he wearing the chain unwIlingly?
II so, IL would be only fair dealing with
the public to give notice that he will
break 1t If elected. But IL he welcomes
the change to the single term, basis ap-

THE REASON FOR 1T.

President Taft's increasing confidence
i'm his reelection is based on reports
which come to him from trusted poliu-
cal agents in all parts Of the country
These reports reflect the influence OF q
perfectly obvious movement-the natu-
raj reaction of American common sense
against policies which will endanger
prosperity. Good times are just aheao.
Business and manufacturing activities
are on the increase, the crops harvested
this year are the largest on record, the
railroads are hard up for cars with
which TO meet the demands or snip
peers. Why, then, take n leap III tne
dark economically and vote in an adj
ministration whose election would be
signal for a raid upon the protective
system to which all business and pro-
duction are now adjusted? Why scare
off prosperity by again unloosening the
destructive energies which played havoc
with the country the last time the Dem
ocratic party was put into full posses
sion of the government?
For every voter who has stake In
the Improvement of business the choice
has become exceedingly simple. 1t Is
case of continuing the policies under
which good times are coming once more
or disowning them and inviting all
sorts of disturbing experiments In
economies and government In an open
letter addressed to fellow business men
Mr.. John Wanamaker coined an apt
nhrase when he said: "What fallacy
'it is TO give up the prosperity already
attained under Taft for the by-prod-
''ucts offered by the Democrats and the
"Progressives ~
The chief by-product of a Wilson adj
ministration would be the opening OF
the American market Internationally
10 the labor Of the rest of the world,
Governor Wilson having repeatedly ar
gued that protective duties are not only
non-beneficial but positively injurious
even to those engaged in the protected
industries. If the American workman
wants to find out how advantageous 1t
will be for him to compete directly with
foreign labor he would be helped to
that discovery through the. election of
Governor Wilson. If the experiment
should fail he could fall back on the
charity of the soup house.
The chief by-product Of Roosevelt
administration would be the undermin-
ing of individual rights and personal
security through the destruction Of the
independence of the judiciary. Grip
ping the judiciary would be the pre-
urinary step toward the Introduction
of system of vast centralized power
and of semi-state socialism. Are such
by-products TO be compared in value to
the continuance Of national prosperity
and the economic and social content
ment which is its accompaniment?
Most men of sense will say no, and it
is their swelling protest against chase
up a blind alley which Is daily giving
greater strength to President Taft's
campaign for reelection.

time opportune to denounce bipartisan
agreements, and, not content with get
ting one more place from the Repuoh-
cans, to seize two and make the court
all but solidly Democratic. Such an
unequal division would be most I'M
fortunate. The people, when tney
created the present Court Of Appeals
sought to avoid this and provided III
the constitution that in the first eiec-
ton Of Judges every elector might
vote for the chief and only four OF the
associate judges. Thus 1t assured
minority representation Of at least
two. The minority, whether Demo-
cratic or Republican, has never since
been less than two. Murphy Is content
TO allow only minority representa-
ton of one-until the term OF that one
expires.
The Democratic rejection OF the
overtures for union has forced the
Republicans to select second canoi-
date. They have done the obviously
proper thing in naming Judge Emory
A. Chase, a Supreme Court jusnce
now sitting in the Court OF Appeals 10

He and Judge Hiscock have poth
proved themselves valuable assistants
in the tribunal, and all Independent
citizens should rally to make them

William A. PETER, who died ycster-
day at Grenola. Kan. was a statesman
who got into politics considerably ahead
OF time. As the first Populist sent TO
the United States Senate he attracted
attention by exploiting what seemed
then 10 be extreme and eccentric ideas,
and he soon passed out Of public no
tice. Since he left the Senate Mr..
Bryan and Colonel Roosevelt have APP
propriated all his stock In trade and
have far outdistanced him as a radi-
cal, so that. having been an extremist
in 1891. he could have passed In his
latter days as a moderate, II not a
conservative. He and "Sockless Jerry"
Simpson would have felt old-fashloned
