A CBEKD FOB THE JOURNALIST
Because nowsapcra liavc to bc com
piled hastily and under pressure, lt
is inevitable tbut minor errors in the
statement of nowa items will always
be moro or leas frequent, llut there
is no excuse for International mis
statement of fart nor for a deliberate
coloring of newu matter such as is
found loo ofteu In tho journalism ot
today. First, last and ail the time, J
thu editor should look upon his posi
tion us a sacred trust, and he should I
never ullow personal feeling or pri
vate spleen to curry lt? deadly poison
into the columns ot his paper.
Dr. Walter Williams, dean of tho
Missouri Behool of Journalism, has
laid down a code of moruls for the
guidance of the newspaper man, and
his creed, which is produced below, i
lu good enough bo framo and hang on
thc wall? of the editorial sanctum.
"I believe in thc profession of jour
nalism.
I bcllevo that tho public journal in
a public triiBt; that all connected with
lt uro, to bo full measure of tholr re
sponsibility, trusteos for thc public;
that acceptance of lessor servlco than
thu public uervicn is betrayal of this |
trust.
I believe that clear thinking and j
clear statement, accuracy and fair
ness, aro fundamental to good jour
nalism.
I bcllevo that a journalist should j
wrilo only what he holds in his heart |
to bo true.
I believe that tho suppression of I
tho nows for any consideration other J
than tho welfare of society is inde
fensible.
I believo that no ono should write
aa a journalist what ho would not
sny aa'a gentleman; that bribery by
ono's own pocketbook is .as much to
bo avoided BB bribery by tho pocket
book of another; that Individua! re-j
spoiislbillty may not ho escaped by j
pleading nnothor's instructions or an
other's dividends.
I bolievo that advertising news and I
editorial columns Bhould alike serve |
tho best Interests of tho readers;
that a single .standard ot holpful
truth and cleanness should prevail
for all; that the supreme test of good
journalism is tho measure ot Its pub
lic service.
. I'believe that the journalism which
succeeds best-and best deserves sur
'cess-fears God ned honors man; is
stoutly independent, unmoved by pride
of opinion or greed ot power, con
structive, tolerant, but never careless,
self-controlled, patient; al way? re
spectful of its reader:;, but always un- 1
afraid; is q niel y indignant at injus
tice; is unswayed by the appeal of|
tiTlvtlege or tho clamor of the mob;
Boeks to give every man a chance and,
as far as law and honest wago and
recognition of human brotherhood can
make it so, an equal chaaco; is pro
foundly patriotic, while sincerely I
promoting International good will and I
cementing world comradshlp; ls a|
journalism of humanity, of and for to
day's world."

During tho Bummer of 1014 the
world at largo did not entertain a
[kindly opinion ot tho Emperor ot
Ge nu a ny, a<d events following tho
outbreak of tho war have tended lo
I shako tho faith of those who before
bad believed la his sincerity of pur
poso and in his professed Idealism.
Brilliant men Uko, Chesterton and
Kipling aro busy hurling poisoned
! shafts ot the Kaiser, and they even
go so far as to roto him as an ordi
nary, second-rate politician and a low
and conscienceless trickr,ter. This, ot
co-: rae, is-the English point of view,
aad is accordingly. biased. But de
spite tho uncharitable opinion of this
ruler, -who la tho storm center of tao
conflict now bathing a continent in
blood, there is no gainsaying tho truth
that he ls a maa'of groat vision, ot
constructivo statesmanship, and of re

among too world's greatest mon,
though deeds like the rape of Bel
gium will, certainly dim the luster of

Is the Kaiser consistent ia bia pro-,
fessions? Is he merely a shallow
preacher of Idealism and not ona who
SH a ruler ls willing to practico hin
own preachments? Ho ia a world

MASON'S AND DIXON'S LISE
The historic boundary known us
Muson's and Dixon's linc had nothing
to do with tile institution of slavery,
as some people seem to think, but it
so happened that the linc established
by Mason and Dixon, who came over
from Engand in 1764 for the express
purpose of making tho survey, ulti
mately becumo tho dividing lino be
tween tho freo states and thone which
had slnvory. As a matter of fact,
slavery existed in Pennsylvania when
tho survey was made, and lt was not
until 1780 that tho a tato paused a law
partially sotting at liborty persons of
color.
Tho Calverts of Maryland and Wil
liam Penn of Pennsylvania could not
agreo on tho boundary lino botween
tho two colonies, so Charles Mason
and James Dixon were brought over
from England for the express purpose
of making a survoy and settling the
dispute. The linc wa . run with the
utmost caro, a space olght feet wide
being cut through tho forest, and at
the end of each milo a stone was set
up to murk tho.line. Every fifth stone
stone was larger than tito others, and
jon the north sido bore the coast of
arms of William Ponn while on the
oouf : side wore cut those of Lord
Baltimore
These surveyors wero men of dis
tinction and of scientific attainments,
j At one time Mason was an assistant
at tho royal observatory at Green
wich. After their teturn to England
I their home government sent them on
! a scientific expedition to the Capo of
Good Hope. Dixon died in England,
j but Mason came to this country and
threw In bis fortunes with the young
republic.
. As this old lino was once tho divid
ing point botween free and slave
states, the bitter feeling' prevailing
between north and south before, dur
ing and af tor tho wor, caused writer B
and speakers to cmply the torm free
ly as a sort ot Chinese wall dividing
two distinct and antagonistic ?choc ..a
ot political thought. Today Mason's
nnit ?llvnn'a 11r\o fjanniaa nnthlnw^ ?OV
the. country ls again united and there
are no real Unes ot division botween
the sections, political, social or other
wise.

CHAULES STARK SULLIVAN
Tributo by C. C. Featherstone-LCH
son to Ho Learned From Lifo.
I waa shocked and pained to hear
of the death of my kinsman and boy
hood friend. Charlie Sullivan.
I have known him slnco 1870, when
he was au infant only two years old.
My father moved to Anderson In De
cember, 1870, When I was a Ind of six
years of age, and we lived nest door
to the Sullivans.
He was my playmate and school
mate. It was at Mr. Ligon's school,
on thc site whore Charlie afterwards
built a home, that ho and I got all
tho "book learning" that we ever re
ceived-a place whore I have always
thought the students of Mr. Llgon
ought to have erected a monument to .
his memory." In my judgmont W. i.
lagon, in that old school .house, on
tho hill, did' moro for ^Anderson'''than
any man who over lived there..
He taught "book learning" and
taught it well; but he taught moro
than that. Ho taught the great prin
ciples underlying manhood and wo
manhood ; he taught those things up
on .which :' character is founded find
which tend to tho better, sweeter,
nobler things of .lifo.
. It was at his school that Charlie
first imbibed tho principles which
tended to mako him the strong;, use
ful citizen that ho afterwards'bo
camo. Leaving there, he entered at
once into thu great business world
that school of experience which, af
ter all, ls tho only great teacher.
: Charlio was a successful business
man, unusually so;, but it is not of his
business career that I want to speck,
iv ?ere- arc better things that can be
said of him. In his maturer years
Charlie learned that there wero fat
bettor things for him than a success
ful business career. As his yours ad-'
vanced as :1s usual with most men, ho
grew moro tender, more gi vc-a to good
deeds.., He seemed to get froid of thc
only correct Idea, in reference to. re
ligious matters, ie., that tho only way
to servo God is to bo of service to
humanity, lils idea'of religion was
Gmt exemplified in the parable ot
the Good:Samaritan. And when he got
hold of that Idea he worked with, all
the vim and earnestness of his na
ture, 'It was at Willlamtson, at" a
family reunion, the latter part of last
August, that ho m adp a great Bpoech
In advocacy of .Gie founding of a
scholarship, in some college by Gie

bis great earnestness on that occas

piTced upon the immediate establish

but Gmt even then, in some way, he
