Its 1 1 i ,Ear grins Theodore Roosevelt used to go to Hitchcocks frequently, perhaps with Jake Riis or Eddie Riggs of the New York Sun, and I remember James Creelman, Julian Ralph and a score of then famous politicians and newspaper men, mingling with the men from the mechanical departments, arguing over the world war scare, local and national politics everything under the sun. It was something like the free speech common in early colonial America, where you could step into the enclosure and say what you thought about the king or anybody or anything else. The gusto with which T. R. would dump a bottle of catsup and a slather of mustard on a plate of ham and beans, or corned beef and beans, was something worth seeing and remembering. Frequently, these sessions at Hitchcocks were a on the paper, just after press time, in which any story of unusual distinction or a clean-cu- t news beat was sure to get a cheer, and quite as certainly any of us who had stubbed his toe was in for a raking over. RIy work has made me an observer of our efforts to establish true democracy in America. I have never attempted an exact definition of democracy, but, whatever it is, I am sure it was exemplified in this craft post-morte- m e idea! of the newspaper.
