had seen 05 years of active service.
He died and was burled without ado.
after the manner and true to the
traditions of his crnft. But may not
we of the editorial department make*
the passing of this veteran worker
in the ranks the text for a remark
or two on the sterling worth of the
reporter and the all too little* recog

to the* profession of journalism and
.to the interests of humanity?
He is the backbone of modern

ffaeing, gallant fellow, the reporter
By some tradition as old as printing,
the man who writes must have other
than ,i pecuniary motive. Perhaps
Hu* idea and the practice rest on the
theory that it would spoil the man
who lives by his pen to he fat and
sleek. Big pay would exterminate the

as a matter of course*, and with no
special gratefulness from anybody,

He is patronized by his intellectual
Inferiors, but must give no sign of
his martyrdom to the superiority of
Ignorance. The glory Hint he makes
for others is not for him. He must
rest fameless, nameless and content.
