Mr.. Grady believes that no profess
sion could equal in dignity. honor and
usefulness the profession of journal
ism, when those engaged devote them
selves entirely and unselfishly to their
work After thirteen years of serv-
ice. Mr.. Grady wrote: Devoted as
am to my profession-believing as
do. that there Is more honor and use
fulness for me along its way than In
any other path. and that my duty is
clear and unmistakable-I am con-
strained to reafirm in my own mind
and to declare to you the resolution
made when I entered journalism: that

any political office or draw a dollar
from any public treasury. This rule

The newspaper men of America who
have made the same resolution are
much In the majority. And 1t is be-
cause the majority of those engaged
in 1t do comprehend their position and
are sincerely giving themselves en-
tirely to their work that journalism
maintains itself as the great power It
is today.

WHAT WOULD THE LINE DOT

The proposed cross-state electric
line from st. Louis to Kansas City
might have been a thing to arouse Co.
lumbia's enthusiasm as late as even
ten years ago, but it won't work now.
There is another way that is better.
The s2S,OOO,OOO, estimated as the
cost of equipment, would, if spent in
another way, rock a cross-state road
twenty feet wide and buy automobiles
for ten thousand families along the
line. With such a road, the trip from
Columbia to Kansas City or st. Louis
could be made almost as quickly as,
and much more pleasantly than, on an
electric railway. Transportation from
farms along the road to cities-the
great cost of marketing farm pro-
ducts-would be cheap, railroads

the electric companies would be
spared the complaints about unfavo--
able legislation In addition. other
roads would be built.
When the automobile has come into
its own, the need of the electric rail-
way will be largely relieved. The
good roads committee of the St. Louis
Business Mems League. by recon-
mending that the city raise 100000
as its part. has taken the first step in
making the needed connection be-
tween st. Louis and Kansas City.
When Kansas City and every county
the road passes through has done like
wise, talk of an electric line will be
forgotten.
