The Heiospapen IDan
4* and His lilork 4*
BY Clauknck B. Douglas, Ed
There is perhaps no class of
men who so nearly represent the
trend of thought and who stand
loyal,v for all that is l>est in their
respective communities as newspa
per men. From the birth notice
to the obituary they are the friend
of the infant, the youth, the mid
dle aged and those whose sun is
going down in the west and for
them. scrap books are kept and by
them filled. Their true mission
in life is to supplant a tear
with a laugh, a frown with a
smile, a storm cloud with a rain
how. The first notice given the
world of the stork’s visit is by the
newspaper man, the last sad days
of life are brightened by his words
ami his pen softens the clods of
the new made grave, and robs
death of its greatest sting, lie is
loyal to his town whether it be
among the sand dunes of the des
ert or in the heart of nature’s gar
den. He finds inspiration for fu
ture greatness on the bald prairies
or in the impenetrable forests, if
so be it the post office where he
mails his paper is located there
and from that inspiration he will
write coulumns upon columns of
why destiny points to that place as
the coming metropolis. In hisen
thusiasm a ten inch plank is a side
walk, a trunk full of goods in a
shack a mercantile emporium, a
55-foot builing an elegant block,
a three-room block house a man
sion, the peg-nosed daughter of
his fellow townsman a charming
belle, a freckle-faced yap a rising
and talented young man. llis
postmaster is an Honorable, the
local limb of the law a judge, his
grocery man a colonel and the vil
lage druggist a physician and sur
geon. When half a dozen of his
fellow townsmen assemble to dis
cuss a public question it is a large
and enthusiastic meeting and the
halting remarks of the shoemaker
and tin1 blacksmith arc eloquent
addresses. The gatherings at the
neighbor’s homes are elegant so
cial functions and the singing of
the young ladies present never
fails to entitle them to be called
prima donnas. His stories on the
possibilities of the country over
flow with optimism and it is real
pleasure for him to have to hustle
around to get his ready-print re
leased from the (). 1). man, if j
he can liil the other side with item
indicating a boom for his home
town. He will wear patched
pants und a smile if he can see
others profiting by his efforts to
build up a city, and when the
town is asleep he is racking his
brain to think of something nice
to say in his next issue, which
may possibly add another family
to the census where he lives. The
work he does i> never fully appre
ciated, nor does he expect it to be.
The advertising he gives gratui
tously every week to his section
of the country, exceeds by far
that given by all his neighbors in
a year, and when some delinquent
subscriber abuses him and stops j
his paper, he smiles and goes on
his way doing good as if he had
collected the bill in full. The
newspaper man develops the far
mer, the mechanic, the merchant,
the professional man. the miner
and the laborer who in turn de
velop the country.
Every week of his life he sends
word out into the world of the
glories of his tow n aud every copy
of his paper is a constant silent
messenger beckoning investors to

come to the place he calls home
and locate. Without the news|>a*
j per man there would be no towns
, or cities. Without him there
would be no civilization. He is
: the man with the cast iron nerve,
and no place is too small for him
to undertake to make of it a city,
j lie stands for liberty, peace and
morality, and cares more for the
friendly nod of the good women
of his vicinity than the applause
of the populace. He is the recep
tacle of all the gossip of his com
| munity and suppresses scandal
which, if published, would till the
divorce courts to overflowing. He
respects confidence and will not
■ betray it even though a four-deck,
[double column head story is sj>oil
, ed and he spends more hours over
I the question of what not to pub
lish than what to print. Unlike
the theatrical man, he plays a new
bill to the same audience every
week and if lie can meet his bills
at the end of the month he feels
amply rewarded for the struggle.
As his town grows, he grows with
it and when his paper takes on an
[ individuality of its own, and the
succeeding issues are watched for,
his cup of happiness is tilled to
overflowing.
Adverse criticism stings nut lie
never murmurs and a compliment
to him gilds the entire day with
happiness, lie writes dozens of
nice notices of individuals and nev
er gets a “tlmnk you,” and a one
line local of seeming adverse com
ment brings from those same indi
viduals a good, round “eussing
out. " Through all the storm and
j stress he continues on his way
adding to the sum of human
knowledge and adding to the coun
try's greatness, and when the col
umn rules are turned upside
down in his own paper, his assets
are a life, little understood, little
appreciated and little rewarded.
