RAILROADS UNO NEWSPAPERS
John Hmton wanted to start a paper
at Piince Rupert, but the Grand Trunk
Railroad Company seized his press, to
Houston b?s declaied war.? Douglas
Island News.
John H us ton and newspaper trouble s j
like bis come up frequently between
autocratic beads of railroad linea who
owe their advancement, not to ability
but to connection with or sycophancy
to those above them, and m n who try
to run a newspaper as it should be
run,? who can see no material reason
for refusion to tell the news to people
who pay their money to get it, although
the interests of a railroad corporation
may be affected by It, sad believe no
good occasion exists for kow-towing to
an ill mannered local head of a rail
road because he possesses an inflated
opinion of himself. John Houston will
undoubtedly stay in Prince Rupert, the
efforts of the Grand Trunk railroad to
tne contrary notwithstanding. A rail
road corporation that exacts robber
rates for its freight hauls, whose tax
ation is dodged and not paid and whose
service is so wretched that it Is almost
a crime to ask people to be forced to
use it much less be called upon to pay
an unheard of price for It has too u any
vulnerable points at which it can be
attacked to be able to engage in a con
troversy with even a small newspaper
and the railroads are well aware of the
fact.
THE MAN WHO MAKES GOOD
Mane Henry Watterson has an ac
curate eye lor a man, though it may
swivel ? bit when It tries to lifiht upon
a politician. He has been through the
mill himself: was a half-starved tramp
printer at the close of the civil war, and
knows what qualities it takes to c'imb
high hold light.
So when he spies out a Dark Horse
for the Presidential nomination, ,whiU
his candidate may not have political
pedigree to suit those who are to put
their money up on him. It's certain
that the runner will have strength and
stamioa and speed.
Mr. Watterson has admitted that bis
eye is fastened upon Governor John A.
Johnson, of Minnesota. Now he may
be amUs in the matter of Mr. Johnson'*
statesmansh'p ? that's a matter for our
Democratic friends to settle among
themselves? but no party lines will be
drawn upon an honest admiration of
Johnson, the man.
His father was the towu drunkard;
bis mother took in washing. These
were taunts thrown at him when he
was running for the governorship the
first time. He didn't deny them, be
cause they were true. But the same
sneaking, mud-throwing political oppo
nents didn't tell how Johnson took up
the burden of life at thirteen, strug
gled, scrimped, almost starved to sup
port his mother and hU little brothers
and sisters, studied nights when he
should have been sleeping, and made so
much of himself that he's a good copy
for true-olue, ambitious manhood, any
place and any time.
Some one asked Governor Johnson
not long ago if he could explain his
wonderful success. "I gues? it came,"
be mcdeatly replied, "because I always
tried to make good."
When he carried home the washing
for his mother, he got it to her em
ployers in double-quick time; when he
?nked the rollers in the printing office;
when he put up priscrlptions In the lit
tle drug store; when he edited bis own
paper, he did his work to the best of
his ability. He never shirked; he
never whined: he never looked around
for the light end of the log to lift.
By trying to mak? good all the time,
he made good most of the time. He
wasn't always successful. He made hla
mistakes, for the ouly men who make
no breaks are those who are daad or
were never born. But he Dut every bit
of his muscle, every cell of bis brain,
every particle of bis character, into his
work.
Few young men of the d?y do this.
They complain that there's no advance
rnsot and dry conspiracy and favoritism
Never was the time worse for tho jog
trot fello* or the one who sogglo
down; never wis It better for the om
who haa steam up all the time. Th
big men in the world of finance am
business and manufacture and in al
tinea of tremendous endeavor are u.
the lookout forv helpers who can do al
the time. They put no limit on thi
sslaries. The right man is worth any
thiug he will atk. Thousauds are not),
ing to those who think in millions.
They cannot get all the men of thi:
kind they want. Place* of th* greates
profit, hooor, opportunity are goinj
begging now because there's a dearth
of the right materUl. Too few met
try to make good all the time. Those
who do never curse their luck. Th?j
are too buay boating the whloers tc
have time for such nonsense.
