customers, the manufacturer and his

from their own particular calling.
and their circumstances in life, 'ihe
editor of a trade journal, a legal
journal, or a technical paper does
not have it: it attaches oly to a gen
eral newspaper which stands for all.
This attachment or relation between
the editor and all others, high or low,
rich and poor, learned and unlearn
ed, then. Is clearly based upon those
things w hich concern men and women
s human beings and as members of
the social state. The editor is the
champion and Iterpreter of whatever
tends to make men and women more
worthy Individuals, expand their
ideals, enlarge their sympathies, and
encourage their hopes. He Is likewise
the champion and spokesman of the
riehts and duties of men as members
of the social state. We sum up by
saying "The general welfare."
The lalilor's Altar.
Xow, the "general welfare" can
righ'ly mean nothing ixeept those
conditions under which individual:'
will have the maximum opportunity
to work out Hie fullest, Irtest, and
happiest life of which each Iscapabie.
Not alone is the editor in this relation
us editorial thunderer, but an ti e
tat'iieriT and dispenser of local ncuv.
Here Is he the mighty but u.iooseivi d
hypnotist who takes the happening'.
both merry and sad, important and
trivial, of Ills field, and in portraying
them, suggests unselfishness to the
selfish, happiness to the unhappy,
health to the sick, improvement to
the Mothful. Information to the Ignor
ant, gentleness to the intemperate
in short, water to the unwashed. And
he does all this in such an unobtru
sive manner. If he does it skillfully,
that none suspect, but all heed.
The general welfare, then, Is the
altar upon which the editor must
make his vows. One lawyer called
himself the people's advocate and
won thereby a place upon the bench
of the supreme court of the United
States. Yet every little town In the
country has one ore more editors de
voting himself to the general welfare
and scarcely himself understands
what he is doing. In order to help
make clear to ourselves and to the
public our reciprocal relations I have
given this character to my discourse.
When the editor himself better un
derstands his rightful functions he
can better perforin them. When the
public rightly understand it can bet
ter appreciate and better reward him.
I have fancied th editor somewhat
in the position of the knight errant
of old who dedicated his sword to
uiis.'lii-hpess. sought some fair lady's
favor, r-ml found h' full reward in
her rmiles and In the untarnished
rerord of his shield. Let us then Im
agine our editor r.s the modern knight
akin to those of the
"Time when first the question roe
About the founding of a table round
That was to be for God and men.
And noble deeds, the flower of all the
world.
And each Incited each to noble
deeds."
The modern knight fights with the
pen and not with the sword. But he
must fight no less bravely, no less un
selfishly, and be no less willing to
forego personal reward If necessary,
than his noble prototype. Let me
give you the picture of
Sir Galahad.
My good blade carvea the casques of
men,
My tough lance thrusteth sure.
My strength Is as the strength of ten,
Because my heart Is pure.
The shattering trumpets sbrilletb
high.
The hard brands shiver on the
steel.
The f-plintered spear shafts crack and
fly.
The horse and rider reel;
' V - - ai...i t - avi.a ill f .nvinv litr
Aud when the tide of combat
stands.
Perfume and flowers fall In showers.
That lig'aly rain- from ladies'
hands.
How sweet are looks that lidiea bend
On when their favors fall!
For them I battle to the end.
To tave from shame and thrall;
But i'U my heart Is drawn above.
My knees are bound in crypt and
t-hrive;
I uever feh the kls of love,
Xor maiden's hand !u mine.
More bounteous aspects on me beam.
Me michtier trar.spoit3 move ar.d
I thrill;
So keep 1 fair through faith and prav
I eT
j A :r'-in's heart In work and will..
! As I have attempted to show, the
.very nature of our calling puts you
'in a position different from other men
and automatically makes ou th"
champion of all men. Aside from
the idea of "the general welfare'
there is no explanation of the editorl
al function. No editor has so far at
tempted to make himself a mere pur
veyor of news. We admit that giv
ing the news is hi.i primary and most
necessary function, but none attempts
to stop there, and, indeed, none could
If he would. He must fairly and ac
curately publish the news, and to be
accurate and fair is the first principle
of news dissemination. But a news
paper with only the news would close
the door to fancy, to poetry, to higti
appeal, in short, to that editorial
championship which is the chief ien
tal stimulation in the intellectual
gymnasia of the masses.
HigheM Culling of the Journalist.
This side of journalism can never
be foregone because its condition is
inherent in human nature. Every
newspaper is hound to be the active
or passive champion of some school
of thought. If it is neither the active
nor passive champion of the general
welfare it must be the active or pas
sive champion of special privilege.
And if it is too feeble to be useful to
either it is too dull to be read. My
plea is that It is the most natural as
well as the highest position for
Journalism to be representative and
champion of the general welfare.
From the cold basis of dollars and
cent'j I beluve that this must abo be
the most profitable position. Of
course, so long as we have champions
of i lie general welfare we will have
champion of the opposition. A Jew
who kept a little shop next door to
a huge department store whs asked
how ho could do any business in the
shadow of so large a competitor.
"Veil," i-aid he, "where dere is room
for bin elephants dere is also room
for little m ices, aint It?"
True Miion to Serve All.
In the big cities there Is room for
newspaper elephants and little mice
too, but in country Journalism there
Is room only for the newspaper which
stands for the general wellace.
I do not belong to the altruistic
school which thinks that an editor
should be rewarded solely by the en
chantment of his profession. I think
his pay should be In a great deal
more of hard money than he Is now
getting. I am seeking to find the
way in which the professor may re
ceive both its ethical and its financial
returns. I believe that the last is de
pendent upon the firstthat is that
the newspaper which best fills its
highest mission is most likely to be
a money maker. This may reduce
Ui; to a selfish unselfishness, but that
is certainly the higlust form of sel
fishn;1: s.
Therefore. It comes about that of
i;ll professions, journalism is the on
ly one whose mission is to serve all
and the only one which looks to all
for its returns. If it n rves liss than
all it gets le.-s return than it should.
1 believe that when the true nature
of the local newspaper is better un
derstood, when it is: better able to
serve ils mission, the financial re
turns of those who labor in the work
must be greater.
Hire is the profession which by
general consent, as well as by its
very character, is the champion, the
spokesman and the servant of the
whole community, why should not its
financial returns be commensurate
with its service and responsibilities?
Talent sufficient to secure a .return
of $1000 in journalism would make
four or five times the amount in
medicine. In law or In trade. I am
unable to explain why this is true.
The Editor's Iteward.
The skill, the tact, the judgment,
the learning and labor required to
be a good editor applied in any oth
er profession will bring much larger
financial rewards, and since this Is
true the editor must receive other
kinds of reward, else there would
c"aso to be good editors. The silent
but sure, power, the fascination
of directing and stimulating the
thoughts of men, the opportunity of
translating ones self into his com
munity, the unparaleled field for
service, the chance to defy evil and
uphold good, which I have before
spoken of, must afford this additional
reward. The man lacking the vision
to see all these things cannot be a
good editor In the highest sense. The
be:t of editors often lack the busi
ness talent to make financial suc
cess, but the best business sens" can
not make a succesful editor unless
it is accompanied by the other. This
Is true for the reason that Journalism
is Inherently an unselfish profession
and cannot be altogether capitalized.
Any community takes a pride In a
good newspaper. I believe that the
time Is coming when every such com
munity will be willing to pay hard
money to show Its pride. It Is up
to us to be such public servants that
the. country must see that our ser
vices are Indispensable.
The first thing necessary Is to ap
predate the dignity, the Importance,
and the opportunity of our own pro
fession, In no mere spirit of vanity.
because vanity Is tne outwara ex
oreaslon of Inward littleness. I have
not known a journalist who really
anderstood his profession that did
