There comes to The Times office
occasionally a paper published in
the interest of newspaper men in
which there is a stundiing "MO''
headline. To the uninitiated the
headline means little, but- to the
newspaper man the mystic figures
tell the story of death having
put all end to the existence
of some follow worker. It is a
fact, as one may learn front reading
this "MO" column, that newspaper
men us a rule do not li\e
much past middle life. The reu- I
son for this is that not only on
the city papers, but also on the
country press, the men actively
engaged in producing the news
papers put m long hours at their
work, often in poorly veutiiatl'U
olliees, they have little lime or
means for recreation, and as a
consequence the flame of life lor
them is extinguished at an earlier
age than it is"*for men in 1110s.
oilier professions or vocations.
Also it is the lot common to mosi
newspaper men to have the responsibilty
of providing for families
on- incomes unequal to the
needs of themselves and thos?
dependent upon them. Not one
newspaper man in ' a huiulrco
is able to care for his family as
he should be, nor is he able to la,,
aside anything for the rainy day.
It is a singular thing that so few
newspaper men ure given tin
public consideration they are en
titled to. 11' their elforts in be
lielf of enlightenment, progress
religion and morality are prop
oriy appreciated few people eve;
take itie trouoie to tell then,
about it. ? On the contrary, it u
a statement of fact, applicable
more to the weekly than to the
daily, that many people look upon
their home paper as legit iniatc
prey, in that they wish to get ah
they can get out of it and give no
more in return therefor than
iney una absolutely necessary.
If this were not true, the weekly
newspapers ol' the country woutii
be adequately supported?not so
muuy business men would with
hold from them the "patronage
' they should be given and fewer
people would find first, one excuse
and then another for failing
to pay what they owe the newspaper
man for reading his paper.
Und6r the "30" headline to
which we haye referred there recently
wa^'printed- an item telling
of the death of an editor who
hAd 0'nducted in his home town
u \vbekly paper for a third of a
ce>?tury. The item also stated
that he had the confidence and
'esteem of his community to a
-large degree as was attested u.
his funeral, but that he left only
a smul! estate. These fine words
euine too late to help the old man.
What he needed was more consideration
before "30" was hun?
on the hook for him.
The fellow who sees in heroes
nothing but human beings neglects
the fact that history is the
story of humau achievement. It
' contains the life stories of men
who have built civilization. In
reading the records one will find
generally that those who ought
to have succeeded did so, while
scoundrels, sometimes successful.

history. Read the history of the
rise of Greece and the men who
brought it about. Read how Rome
came to control the world. Read
how England, coming under the
influence of the Romans, became
civilized and rose to world domination.
More especially etudy
the history of this country. Everywhere
will be fonud a record of
work, accomplishment, unremitting
labor on the part of the men
who created and preserved civilization.

A Washington dispaih tells us
that a number of Democratic senators
who had intended to go to
Missouri and help Senator Reed
in his campaign for reelection
i?re embarrassed and do not know
what to do since Mr. Wilson has
expressed a wish to have Senator
Reed beaten. They fear that
any assistance they might now
give Senator Reed would put
