Down on City

AmeIicus is just recovering from a
mild epidemic of whooping cough, a
iualady generally prevalent at this
ason. The unusual feature in con-
nection with che prevailing trouble
here is the fact that such a large
aroentage of adults had it, and
wheezed and coughed with the kids
The fallacy that one can have whoop-
iug cough but one time was thus dis
lelled, as many adults and children
alike have thus had a second attack

have met all kinds of newspaper re-
porters not only those who work OH the
conservative, but also those on the So
called yellow journals. and what |
have seen of them convinces me that
no class of men i'm the community work
harder or more faithfully to perform
the difficult task TO which they are as
signed or, considering all the circum-
stances perform their work better.
I confess that | have grown to the
point where | always like to meet and
talk with newspaper men. because they
know the world. they know what is
going on, and they know men. HAY @
frequently been amazed in talking
with newspaper men TO learn the
amount of accurate, intimate and in
side Information that they had about
public and even private matters, and
at the insight they showed in weigh
ing and judging public men and their
actions.
On several occasions when / was at
the White House during the time that
Col Roosevelt was president, saw
him surrounded by half dozen re-
porters-representin great daily pa
pres. | was greatly surprised on those
occasions to observe that the president
would talk TO these reporters just as
frankly and freely about matters per-
tanning to the government, and his
plans and policies as one partner in
business would talk to another part
ner. While these men, as a result OF
the interview, would telegraph long
dispatches to their papers, | am sure
am safe i'm saying that the presi-
dents confidence was rarely, If ever
betrayed.
IL was largely through such frank
interviews taking the whole country
into his confidence, as ii were. that
President Roosevelt was able, i'm so
large a degree to carry the whole
country along with him. Ever since
| have known Col. Roosevelt, one of
the things that | have observed in his
career has been his ability and dispo-
sition TO keep I'm close personal touch
with the brightest newspaper men and
writer's of the country. The
newspaper men like him because he
understands the conditions under
which they work and at the same time
recognizes the important part that they
and their reports play in the actual,
If not the official, government in
