THE NEWSPAPER BUSINESS.
From the Albany Herald

torial columns of the Griffin News:
| The city editor Of the Americus
/ Timas-Recorder died leaving an estate
Ics $4,000. And yet there are folks
who say a newspaper man can not
save money-sayannah Press. Fur
How surely didn't make his money in
|tLc newspaper game"
This moves us to say something
about the newspaper business as a
business.
/ The hippancy with which pert para
eraphers allude to their impecuniosity
las created a wrong impression with
reference to the stability and financial
opportunities of the newspaper bust
mess which is misleading and no doubt
Gcters many young men with real tai
ant for this line of endeavor from en-
gaging in it.
Mr. Furlow, the late city editor Of
the Americas Times Recorder had
held one position for thirty years or
more, and those familiar with news
paper business can readily understand
that he commanded a salary from
which he might easily have saved
even more than $4,000 which his es-
tate is reported to have been worth.
Mr.. Hancock, editor OF the Savan-
Tah News for thirty years or more,
who recently died, left an estate of
100000, if our memory is not at fault.
He, like Mr.. Furlaw, was a salaried
man and had no other source Of in
come.
We know of no profession or line of
business in which men of talent and
training command better salaries than
are being paid to newspaper men to-
day Arthur Brisbane, chief editorial
writer for Hearst's string CT newspa-
pers, it is generally understood in
newspaper circles, receives a salary
CT $4,000 a year and there are hun
dreds OF newspaper men in the coun-
try today who command larger sala-
RES than the governors of their states
or than congressman and United
states senators receive. A good re-
porter or capable city editor COM
mands better salary than is paid to
the average bank teller or cashier, and
III the mechanical department of the
modern printing office men command
better salaries than are paid to most
Tadesmen.
Truth, is the newspaper business
mas been growing and developing upon
practical lines so rapidly during the
last twenty years that there i an
increasing edmand for the services of
men VINO are bright, capable and de-
behdable. The slack wads and inca
pa0les' unable to take the pace of
MODERN journalism and hold it, have
lad to drop out. But the demand for
intelligent, snappy, capable and reli-
able newspaper workers is more and
more active. At the annual meetings

Fess, and at the stated meetings of
the various publishers organizations

CONGRESS TO RUSH WORK.

With two important congressional
conferences and the naval bill hearings
already started, the work of the Sec
ond session of this Congress will get
under way early, so as to avoid an
extra session of the next Congress.
This short session will enact the
great supply bills, which are the nine
teen appropriation measures; then
comes the remainder of the Presidents
program dealing with the prevention
of railroad strikes; the immigration
bill, with the literacy test, insisted
upon by democratic Senators and Rep
resentatives from the South, and in
addition to these measures there looms
up the possibility of hard fight to
put through resolution submitting
to the country constitutional amend
ment for nationwide prohibition.
Another BILL that will be presented
early in the session, with the hope of
its passage, is the one of the Ladies'
Auxiliary to the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians, which asks for a site in Ar
.lington National Cementery on which
to erect the Memorial to the Nuns of
the Battlefield. This bill passed the
Senate at last session, but was too
far down on the calendar to be con-
sidered by the House, before adjourn

ing of the Menace" kind-speak
of his Catholic Majesty, the King
of Spain, in terms of biting scorn,
says the Catholic Sun. A favo-
rite epithet is that of "the royal
IDIOT and the royal helpless
halfwit. Another title equally de-
scriptive is, "weak-brained rulers
of a worn out people," Yet, judg-
ing from the history of art, science
and literature, Spain holds no in
conspicuous place among the
Kingdoms of the earth. That AL
fonso is brave, kind and tolerant
has been proved many times. He
is sensible and loving father. He
places himself squarely with his
people, and their welfare is one of
his first considerations. He COM
pares to his credit with any ruler
in Europe. Beside him King
George of England shrinks to a
mere figure head, who, by the per-
mission of the people, is allowed
to hang on to tottering throne
for little longer. Why Spain
and her people should come in for
so much criticism is one of these
strange vagaries OF public opinion
not easily understood.

MOLLY e. SEAWELL, WRITER,
BURIED FROM ST. MATTHEW'S.

Molly Elliot, Seawell, one of the
most widely read authors of books for
boys and historical stories, died in
Washington last week and was buried
from st. Matthew's Church.
Miss Seawell was native of Glou-
cester Co., Va, and was a grand-niece
of President Tyler. She took an &C.
tive part in social life; was a hostess
of note and entertained many brilliant
and cultured men and women.
Although she began writing sketches
and stories in 1886, it was in 1890 that
she published her first novel, Little
Jarvis" 1t took prize of $500 offered
by the Youths Companion for the best
story for boys. Her "Sprightly Ro.
nance of Marsac." published in 1895,
gave her her first real fame. 1t captured
the $4,000 prize offered by the New
York Herald. Three years later she
captured another New York Herald
prize of $1,000 with her short story.

THE SUPREME COURT.

Great interest seems to center in the
Supreme Court at the present time,
as it appears reasonably certain that
before President Wilson leaves the
White House in 1921, seven members
OF this great tribunal will owe their
appointments to him.
Associate Justices McReynolds'
Brandeis and Clarke are now members
of the Supreme Court as appointees
of the present Executive. In his sim
gle term, former President Taft an
pointed four Justices and named the
Chief Justice. Three Justices of the
supreme Court already have passed
the age at which the law entitled them
to the honor of retirement. They are

Justice Day is in poor health, and it

second Wilson administration. Presi-
dent Wilson. in his appointments to
the Supreme Bench, has held closer

pointing younger men.

THE LIBERAL CATHOLIC

There are some individuals who
aspire to be looked upon as lib
eral by the non-Catholics. We
are not going to say much about
them just now except that lib
eral Catholic, when analysed, i'll
variably turns out to be an ignoble
coward. The meanest politician
will render answering allegiance
to his party, but that given by the
liberal Catholic to the everlasting
Church is measured by the
chances for trade, by the Unfit
ences OF environment or popular
opinion, and always of personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. When Bishop
comes out squarely in an .issue
pertaining to the religious inter
ests of his people that kind of a
Catholic will shrug his shoulders
and lament that such outspoken-
ness will affect the friendly rela-
tons between us and our fellow
citizens. His honored watchword
is "Keep in touch with every
body
That indeed may mean bust
ness and trade, hypocritical
praise of Our observation-disclosures,
and it may also mean that we for
get our duty to our prelates. for

lickspittles, the toys of the politi-
clans and those who herd together
at the polls to vote according to
the directions of the ward heller

anything that tends to strengthen
the bonds of amity between lis
and our separated brethren, but il
