Welcome the Reporter.

Davenport Democrat: Men who
have made large successes in bust
ness, and in the political field, have
found large factor Of that success
to have been the intelligent help they
have had from newspaper men. They
have been men who knew the value
Of news to the reporter, and who
have earned the newspaper man
good will by tipping him Off to
news items whenever they came I'M
der their observation. They have
learned, too, that the best way TO
gain the cooperation of the neWspa-
per man is by having confidence IN
him, and many man In public ana
business life has shared his conf
dence with newspaper men Teely
without ever having it abused.
This fact is called to attention by
a. Chicago despatch to the effect that
in an address on Business Men and
Newspaper Reporters, Warren B.
Bullock, of Milwaukee, told the con-
ventton OF the National Lumber
Manufacturers association that Amer
lean merchants have lost great op-
portunities to advance business be-
cause Of failure to appreciate the
pride of newspaper reporters in their
profession. He asked the lumbermen
particularly to help themselves oy
helping the reporters to get news. =.
"As an average newspaper man,
said Mr.. Bullock. 81 want to tell you
that the poorest newspaper reporter
feels that when he goes to interview
a business man he is the official rep
resentative of the great American
public, which is entitled to know the
news of the world BY turning away,
often with discourtesy, the newspaper
reporter who seeks news of the ousi-
ness world, the business men OF the
country have lost great opportunities,
and instead of making friends, they
have often made enemies.
There are two ways in which TINS
condition is being remedied. One is
iby a more liberal attitude OF the
business man toward the reporter. the
other is by advertising. Treat the
reporter as a co-worker, not as an Of
fensive intruder. The newspaper
wants news. If you have news, give
II out. and give it out right. You viii
never get the worst of 1t Ii you 1oi-
low this policy"
Mr. Bullock has been newspaper
man who has had large leadings with
business men He speaks by the
card.

finds himself inextricably caught in
a number Of comic predicaments in
volving the Russian secret police and
innumerable Nihilists, including the

his miscries and his futile efforts to
