WEDNESDAY, MAY 4
By E0alm Walsh Mclean

Then take Colonel Harvey, a brilliant man,
a great fighter, and with the most sarcastic
tongue have ever known; yet his loving devotion
to his wife and child was beautiful thing to
see. And he took life in his stride, never COM
planning and never whining.
When we think how eagerly we grab our
papers in the morning, or take them home
with us in the afternoon, what little thought
we give to the tireless work and devotion of
this group of men.
Then take the reporter-what a hard and
trying life he has, I admit there is lot of
excitement in it., but there is also lot of heart
break
Praises Reporters
lust think of the terrific strain they are under
when they are told to go out and get picture
or story. Half the time they have to take
insults from people and are treated with less con-
sideration than any other group of people know
OF. Don't forget they have to think quick and
fast and no matter what means is used, the story
must be turned in before the other fellow gets
it. There is the catch in the whole thing-the
SCOOP. If all the reporters could get together
and peacefully go out on story and break it at
the same time, there wouldn't be the terrific
nerve strain there is.
No, they are a gallant band of men and
women, these reporters, and believe me, once
they get started there is very little that will stop
them. The freedom of the press is the impera-
tive need in the life of the American people.
Both sides of the question should be printed
and think 10 out of IL times this is what the
editors and reporters really try to do. They have
to make the papers interesting but any law
that stops them from printing any story that
breaks should be headed off before it leaves the
committee. Newspapers and freedom of the
press are the Hfelines of America and every
soul connected with any newspaper from the
office boy up is indispensable to this free country
of ours. Freedom of thought is the foundation
on which the coming generation is going to build

Remembers Old Timers

T REMEMBER SO well old Henry Watterson,
- with his one eye. He would swear like
trooper and used to love to get him mad just
to hear him. But just go to the old colonel
when you needed help or advice, and you would
quickly see the other side of him. He used to
be at Monte Carlo when was there with father,
and his one joy was to go up into the gambling
club, take off his coat settle himself in the
came seat every night, and play for much
higher stakes than he could afford. And, oh,
the language he used when he would lose. It
is a good thing the French didn't understand it!
