THURSDAY, - - JANUARY 3, 1895
THE PAY OF JOURNALISTS.
In New York City the salaries are
higher than anywhere else, parity be
cauee the cost of living is greater there
than in any other large city. One
editor-in-chief has the same salary
as the president of the United
States, $50,000 per year, and others
receive from $10,000 to $12,000, or
more than members of the cabinet.
Managing editors are paid from $100 to
$150 per week, or a better compensa
tion than that of senators ond represent
atives in congress. Editorial writers
get from $50 to $75 per week as a rule,
and in cases of rare ability as much as
the average salary of a managing
editor. City editors receive from $60 to
to $75 per week, and in a few instances
$100. The pay of news editors is about
. equal to that of city editors. Literary,
theatrical and musical critics average
$50 per week. Copy-readers are paid
from $40 to $45 per week. Reporters
earn all the way from $15 to $60 per
week, with an average of $40, and space
writers of particular talent have been
known to make as much as $125 per
week, though the limitation of topics
and the presaure of competition usually
keep their incomes down around those
of the best paid reporters. There are
some writers for syndicates of news
papers, . men with names that have a
certain value, who earn from $5,000 to
to $6,000 per year, and there are others
of first-class technical capacity in vari
ous lines whose salaries occasionally
reach $5,000. The pay of all classes of
journalists averages 10 per cent lower in
Brooklyn than in New York City."
Capt. Henry King, in the January
Forum. '
Captain Henry King may be correct
in his statement as to salaries, but he is
entirely unacquainted with his subject,
and most wofnlly mistaken in the rea
sons he gives for the ealaries in New
York being higher than elsewhere, at
least as far as the statement that the
"standard of proficiency is higher" is
. concerned. It is a notorious fact that
the New York editorial staffs do not be
gin to compare with those of other
cities. Outside of Charles A. Dana
there is scarcely an editorial writer in
New York City whose reputation ex
tends beyond the city limits, or at the
most those of the state. Philadelphia,
Cincinnati, Chicago, Louisville, San
Francisco, and even Portland can show
more talent than New York City.
Much as we mav disagree with the
' editor of the Oregonian, we recognize in
him an abler all-around editorial writer
than any New York can produce. Am
brose Bierce of San Francisco, who
made the Argonaut famous ; Henry
Watterson of Louisville; Harry Mc
Ewen of San Francisco all from minor
cities are yet all more versatile and
more incisive writers than those of New
York City. Salaries may be higher in
that city than elsewhere, but the reason
is in the ability of the papers, with
treir large circulations to pay them.
One thing will be noticed all through
Mr. King's article, and that is that
. newspaper work, editorial and other, is
very poorly paid, that is the men who
do the writing. Managers get paid for
husinees ability; but the fellows who
push the lead pencils and furnish the
reading matter are, considering every
thing, the worst paid class of intelligent
workers in the entire world.
The state board of railroad commis
Bioners have successfully silenced all in
sinuations concerning that body. It has
been asserted and asseverated that they
as a body, were of no practical use;
that outside of drawing their salaries
they did nothing. They haye success
fully refuted all of these statements, for
-they' have made a comparison of the
freight rates on the Oregon roads and
those of other reads throughout the
United States, showing that the charges
here are much higher than in the East,
(which, by the way, everybody knew,
and knew to be perfectly legitimate too)
and giving the further information that
traffic has fallen off and that times have
been hard. What is more, they have
prepared this report tor submission to
the incoming legislature, but in order to
relieve the profound suspense that the
public are plunged in concerning their
actions, the board kindly had the gist of
the report published in advance. It
will be seen by this that the play is not
for the legislature, but to the benches.
It is quite probable the commission will
be continued, for there is no contending
against the political bosses; bat we
want to say right now that they are of
no more practical use than the tray of
spades in a heart flush.
The Wall street bankers have made a
formal demand on the president for the
removal of Secretary Carlisle, claiming
that he broke faith with them after the
recent bond issue by springing his cur
rency scheme, and that in consequence
the price of bonds went down and caused
the dissolution of the syndicate. The
request is a peculiarly diffident one,
coming as it does from the bashful and
retiring operators of New York, but the
president intimates that be will not ask
the secretry for his resignation on that
account. Wall street goes on the prin
ciple that "If you don't see what you
want, ask for it." Things are at a pretty
pass when a class of money speculators
undertake to dictate to the government
whom its officers shall be, and to de
mand the removal of an officer because
he does not look after their especial in
terests in conducting the affairs of the
country.
The celebrated trial of Steeves, the
Portland attorney for the murder of
George Sayre, is drawing near a close,
and it is thought it will go to the jury
tomorrow. It is one of those cases
where the general impression is that the
defendant is guilty but that the evidence
is hardly strong enough to convict.

Mrs. J. H. Hoksxyder, 152 Pacific

" Whea a girl at school, in Beading,
Ohio, I had a severe attack of brain
fever. On my recovery, I found myself
perfectly bald, and, for a long time, I
feared I should be permanently so.
Friends urged me to use Ayer's Hair
Vigor, and, on doing so, my hair
egan to Grow,
nnd I now have as fine a head of hair as
one could wish for, being changed, how
ever, from blonde to dark brown."
" After a fit of sickness, my hair came
out in combfulls; I used two bottles of
Ayer's Hair Vigor
and now my hair is over a yard long
and very full and heavy. I have recom
mended this preparation to others with
like good effect." Mrs. Sidney Carr,
14G0 Re'gina St., Harrisburg, Pa.
"I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for
several year3 and always obtained satis
factory results. I know it is the bes
preparation for the hair that is made."
