"If there is any unthinking person
who imagines for a moment that this is
over-drawn in the least, let him turn
over and go to sleep right. Why, those
few remarks are not a thousandth of
the idiotic questions that are hurled at
newspaper men.
"Right along this same line I'd like
to mention that pretty nearly every
near human that ever stepped in shoe
leather has been a newspaper man at
one time or another—If you let said
near human tell about it. Why, it has
such words as "we" and "our city all

Some day they'll send that man to
an Island in the Philiplnes, as the song
suggests.
Then, too, there.s the man who calls
up a newspaper office at the busy time
of the day and says in commanding
tones: "Send a reporter over here
right away!"
And when a reporter, assuming that
he's going to gft a piece of news ar-
rives at the man's office, he receives a
sheet of poorly written information of
value only in bo far as its value to
the man in exploiting his business and
to be handled only through the adver-
tising department. An island in the
Phtlipines is too good for him, writes

in directing the verdict. Justice Dowl-
ing said that the plaintiff had present-
ed no evidence to show that he had
been damaged.
This is the suit in which Mr. Itoose-
velt's deposition was taken at Oyster
Bay shortly before he left for \frica.
It was at first denied that use of the
picture was authorized by the Pre si-1
dent, but it subsequently came out that
his then secretary, William Eoeb, lr„
had consented and neglected to tell
Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Ueb, at present
collector of the port of New York, was
a witness in the suit and testified that
he always made arrangements for
photographing the President.
