FATE ALMOST UNPRECEDENT

That was why Calmette incurred a
fate almost unprecedented in the his
tory of French journalism. Marat,
indeed. was AN editor, and so was
Victor Noir. But they were different
from Castor Calmette; as Charlotte
Corday and Pierre Bonapartc were
different from Honriette CaillauX.

kkH FAD on the field of per-
sonal journalism is the
fitting epitaph of Castor
Calmettc. Doubtless his assasslna-
ton was directly due 30 the incite-
ments of political passion. But doubt
less. too that passion was aroused
against him because of the system of
personal journalism of which ne was
a conspicuous eXemplar. That sys-
TEN is unique in France, and it
makes French journalism unique
amid the press Of the world. No
where else are there 50 many or so
widely circulated papers. Nowhere
else are the individual characters
ties of papers SO marked and so UNI
changing Nowhere else is there So
close and vital a personal identihca-
ton of the press with men OF emil
hence and leadership.
This is as it should be, according
to the logic of history. The French
newspaper press was founded by
Eichelieu. and from his time for
ward statesmen and men of letters
were editors Beranger edited the
Constitutional and George Sand
the Monde" But it was not until
the Second Empire that the person
atty which had from the first dOmi-
mated the French press was prac-
tically disclosed. Who could tell
onhand who Tinguy was?

It is best to feed the new calf three
