Fixing the Blame.

A decidedly caustic opinion of news
papers, which falls heavily upon the
reporter, is made by Robert Herrick
author .and college professor, in the
Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. Herrick deais, with various kinds
of parasites, some bf which he excuses
but his most bitter reflection is con.
tanned in the following words: Il am

who draws his pay by filching other

Interviews are considered good
news by editors. The metropolitan
newspaper stats employ men who do
nothing else but visit people in whom
the public. are interested and write
their views. When matters Of great
import come up the opinion of prom

as eagerly read. 1t is as much the duty

err men engaged in logging and lum
boring.
you can readily see what the clos
ing down of this small logging bust
ness means to industry, not only on
the Pacific coast, but in other parts
of the United States. Directly, the
throwing out of employment of 357
men means the loss OF 100000 year
in wages, and the loss of another $780,.
600 year for supplies for our logging
plant; but indirectly it means much
more, for when our logging crews are
out of employment, O much larger
number of men are out of employment
in the saw mills and in other indus
tries depending thereon. The $780,
900 which we would have paid to the
men in our camps, if work could have
continued, would have been spent by
them for clothing, such as overalls,
boots and shoes, gloves, hats and 9th
er articles manufactured in eastern
states. These men would have spent
the money largely for provisions for
the maintenance of their families. To
be perfectly frank, perhaps it should
be remarked that some n the money
would be spent for the products that
have made Kentucky and Milwaukee
famous.
Practically every industry in the
United States suffered as a result>of
the depression in the numbering bust
ness. Railroads lost transportation
business, carpenters had little de-
mand for their services.
Briefly stated, the closing down Of
any basic industry vitality and disas-
trously affects almost every other line
of industry
