whom he fired regularly for the
newspaperman's common falling,
a falling which he himself enjoy
ed TO the fullest for the better
part Of a long life. The old man
spent one afternoon in the bag
gage room OF Evansville where
Frank Holloway was working,
en- route to his final resting
ground in Coldwater, Mich.
Thinking back over the years he
had spent with the man who was
now lying IN his box in the bag
gage room, quiet and patient at
long last, waiting for the next
train out. neither huffing nor
putting nor scratching his leg,
thinking back over all these
things, Frank sat down and wrote
a piece for the Truth about the
visit of his old friend. 1t must
have been quite a piece. If the
old editor could only have got
to it, he probably would have

News under his own bv-line.
congenial newspapermen have
a depth Of affection for old COM
panions, mixed with a casualness
that is sometimes hard to un-
derstand. In other businesses and
spheres of life, one often hears
the complaint that meetings af-
ter long absences are disappoint-
ing. People change, and lose mu-
tual interests and sympathies,
and no longer understand one
another. But this does not seem
to happen often among news
papermen. Perhaps it is because
they are casual about their meet
ings and partings. They exist
in a business in which all of them
rove at some time or other in
their lives, and many of them.
all the time. They may travel

The Mississippi House Of Representatives
this week passed what seems like an excel
lent hospital bill-a program introduced by
Rep. Walter Sillers, and guided through to
passage over a number of Pork barrel
amendments offered from the floor.
The Sillers bill would take advantage of
liberal federal public health laws to finance
over the next eight or ten years, a $4,000
600 program of state hospitals, of which the
federal government would put up about ST.
400. 900 and the state and counties about S.
800, 900 between them.
We do not yet have the details of the
Sillers bill. but from the authors past dis
cussions Of the hospital issue we know
what his program Is in rough outline. and
we believe that 1t is badly needed by Mis-
sissippi. Mr.. Sillers points out that the
state is now 5000 hospital beds short of
having the barest minimum hospital facili-
ties in proportion to population according
to U. S.. Public Health Service standards.
Think Of i'll We don't believe there il a
hospital that big in the swoFld. But if they
should build one that size and put in Mis-
sissippi. II would still bring US only to the
minimum Requirements. Right now we are
18th among states in hospital and medi-
cal facilities. and very. nearly first in the
number Of death and ailments caused by
lack Of medical care and hospital attend
ance.
We have said it before, and we repeat, that
a $28, 900, 900 state surplus is nothing to be
proud Of so long as conditions such as this
exist. And we say again that it is a pork
barrel disgrace for the legislature to be vot-
ing millions for county road building on
top of an already adequate federal road pro-
gram, when public health and public educa-
ton needs are so desperate.
Considering how easily the $4,000, 900 pork
barrel road bill got through, this Sillers pro-
gram ought to be passed, and money ought
to be appropriated without opposition for its
beginning. But this will not be the case. Good
bills seem to have a harder time of it in

or later one will hit a sheltered
cove and stick, while the other
goes on with the wind. Before
long the first may come drift

a copy desk, at a city desk, feels
a tap on his shoulder. He looks

and then the first is gone again

Newspapermen are tolerant of
one another's failings, and ask
little of one another, and that
is why they can meet after years
of absence without any loss I'M
derstanding. What is there to
lose? A few hairs on the head,
a few teeth, perhaps, but moth
ing that makes a real difference.
Newspapermen who work togeth-
er, and this was especially true
during the Depression, may ask
their friends to sign loan-shark
notes that sometimes take years
to pay off when the final and
all but inevitable bankruptcy
takes place. But they do not sit
in judgement on each other, ever,
and this is what we really mean
when we say that newspapermen
ask little of one another. For
years they have been ~underpaid
and suffered from the same oc-
cupational r~estlessness and inse-
curity, many Of them without
realizing it, and many of them
vehemently and proudly deny

judgments of one another they
