Show A coNTiiiifOitAiiY says that "one of the greatest trials of te newspaper profession is t Iiat its members are compelled com-pelled to see more of the shams of the world than any other profession. Througii every newspaper offic.9 d&J after day is found all the yIc!iC-Cii23 of tht world; all the vanities that 7V'&a$ to be repaid; ail the mistakes that want to be coriectsd; u:i the dull speakers thut V7&nc to be 'ch ought eloquent; elo-quent; all tlie Utsamu'ss i( wants to get its wares noticed gratis in the editorial ed-itorial columns in order to save the tax of the advertising columns; all the men who want to be set right who never were right. Through the editorial edit-orial and reportorial rooms all the follies fol-lies and shams of the world are seen day after day and the temptation is to believe neither God, man nor woman. It is no surprise to me that in this profession pro-fession there are some skeptical men. I wonder journalists believe anything." |
