THE NEWSPAPER business ought to be one of the most dignified and
decent occupations in the world,—but, unfortunately, it is not. And do you
know the reason why ?
NEWSPAPERS The reason is that people butt into the newspaper
field who ought to be hertling sheep or swine and
don’t know’ it.
Some newspapermen, so-called, try to draw attention to themsehes and
so make a living by making what they are pleased to call attacks against
people in the community in which they live. 1 hey do actually manage some
times to crawl along and stay in the land of the living by these means but
they seldom last long. They usually get buried in their own tilth.
It would be impossible for such gentry to make a living by newspaper
work straight and clean, as newspaper work is understood, so they defend
their lives by emitting tilth. There is only one other kind of animal, rational
or irrational, which adopts the same methods tor so!t-pioservation, anu that
is the sweet thing that is known to polite society as the pole-cat.
These soi-distant newspapermen are not only illiterate but they are want
ing in the qualities which make a man tolerable to others even in a social
sense. They lack a sense of proportion, a sense of what is decent, a sense ot
what is due to the community and the members of it, and the delicacy to re
frain from injuring others if they have the chance.
The newspaper calling should not be blamed because such men enter it.
It should rather be pitied because they have the gall to enter it.
BY TODAY’S telegraphic dispatches it is seen that a census of the birds
east of the Mississippi has been taken and that from this time forward we
are going to know exactly how many wood
COUXTIXG SPARROWS peckers find their homes in each county.
The next effort along this line should start
in Alaska and the jack rabbits and fish and bear might be very well included
so that some imaginative individuals might be kept to the strict gospel truth
in relating their success with roil anti gun. If the census takers can tell the
number of robins east of the Mississippi to be one hundred million they ought
to find no trouble in hitting off the exact number of ptarmigan and, figuring
that for every ptarmigan there are fifty billion mosquitoes and then some,
the task of watching that brute ought to be comparatively simple.
The men who took that census fell short of rivalling the creator when
they failed to count the sparrows if one is to take every statement of Rocked
in the cradle of the deep” as trustworthy. But now that census taking ha.'*
been brought down to such a fine science Seattle and lacoma must be pai
ticularly careful. Well, the man himself who took that count must surtlj
be a bird.
