tone of El Paso's most violent comet
tna expressed himself as follows to a
Imes reporter yesterday:
‘There are so many ignorant people In
4 world that sometimes I grow quite
inpatient about it, and want to slap them
eal severely on the wrist. 'Some of these
allows who have read an sihnanac about
he stars try to make believe that

hinfi they knew all about and that the
|>ig comet Jmd nothing to do with it.
Vrhey looked at me in a queer manner
when T told them that the.comet's taJI
ftvas whirling along so close to the earth
VHjBiiind going ho much faster than Harney
that it made a big hole in the
wfatmosphere, and the air Was sucked from
he North Pole and made It cold.

ago, even before Iheiro was anybody

|^ffi|thc.v had better engage berths in bis big
boat, but everybody tikought he was an
Igjgf old fool and laughed at him because he
said the Uio Grande was going out of
Us banks and the Sierra Hlanca moun-
tain* would he the txdtom of a big ocean
in a few days, Noah was a smartbf man
than I am. I guess, but Ihhhubc 1 know

tluij a great big thing like that can’t
sweep through the sky without causing
a big rumpus everj where in the heavens.

, tjiosc fellows over there in Porto J’ho
got killed by the earthquake the
mother day are sorry they didn’t get away.
& There are going to be seme more of them,

I jbnppen. I'm going to lx* careful, but I'm
h«>i going to tell anybody about It any
. more, because they laugh at me. It
y -mokes a. wise man sore to have a fool
laugh at jhim.
“K.very minute today we will keep get-
ting closer and closer to that big thing.
Halley’s comet they call It. because some
Cousin Jack learned a whole lot about
its habits and anatomy, and the old sun
is swinging us around so that we will be
hurled right through the big tail. These
scientific fellows that stay up all night
and look at the stars through a telescope,
as they tell their wives, pretend to know
all about the comet and say It won’t
hurt anything, but down in their hearts
they are wondering if there is any way
they can keep that tail from dragging
them off the face of the earth, and I'll
bet every one of them has got a post or
a big root picked out that lie is going to
grab when the pull of the auction begins.
“I read todnv about a negro over in
Porto Hico selling pills to a lot of peo-
ple. to keep the comet from hurting
them, but that fellow can’t fool me. He

Henry Watterson Deplores Degeneracy of Press, Assert-

Revulsion Predicted.
Toionto. Ont., May 17.—Henry Wat-
terson, editor of the Louisville Ccttr-
it i Journal, addressed the Canadian
Press association today upon the
changing conditions in the newspaper
profession.
in answering questions put to him
he said that newspapers were losing
the affection of the people because of
some of their methods. He character-
ized as Unit31 the publicity given by

graft Wings on that fellow named Bal-
linger.
•*A lot of fellows that know me pretty
well say that I have thought about this
comet so much that I am nutty about it,
and that I will be all right after today.
They say I am like the fellow who hung
on a lamp-post and asked a policeman to
stop his house when it went by. That is
a pretty good joke, 1 guess, but after a
lot of terrible and unusual things have
happened today, because the dust from
the comet has been breathed in and g"t
In the brains of people and they have
gone in the cellar to stay on the face of

delegation made up to come to see The

The Injured man had an arm torn off

The plant had five mills. All the em-
ployes working at mills one, two. three
and four were either killed or Injured,
while the men on No. farthest from

"There Is more written and said
and less thought,” said Watterson.
"about the profession of journalism
in which we are engaged and to
which we have d< -Heated our lives,
than aibout any other topic of familiar
discussion.
No Code of Ethics.
“I assume It fo be a profession.
Yet It is without any code of ethics
or system of self-restraint and sell-
respect. It has no sure standards,
either of work or duty. Its Intellec-
tual landscape is anonymous, Its mor-
al destinations confused, tf net Impal-
pable.
“The country doctor, the village
lawyer, knows his place and keeps It;
Is held by certain obligations and In-
spired by certain traditions; modest
and keeping within bounds, though
he may be learned and skilful, having
(he consciousness of superiority.
Law Unto Himself.
“The journalist, be he of city or
town, lias few If any mental perspec-
tives to fix his professional horizon
no canon laws to guide his wayward
footsteps, neither chart or precedent
"We hear a great deal about yel-
low journalism. It is much like the
pot calling the kettle black. Offenses
against decency are mere or less rel-
ative and- qualified.
"More and more will newspaper
owners and makers discover that In-
tegrity and cleanlines pay the best
dividends.
"The scandal monger will In time
be r legated to the category of the
improsperous as. well as the disreputa-
ble, and the deteetivp driven out of
the newspaper service, to the com,
t.nny of the police, where he belongs.
Wo can fen IP tie expect that each
newspaper wprkcr sjiqty he. a gentle-
man as that each lawyer and each
doctor shall be a gentleman, but man-
ic conduct and aspiration should fix
the rule, tlu- brutal and vulgur L.e
exception, the journal!*,'ie brand no
less accepted and honorable than that
of physics, divinity and Jurisprudence.
Gentlemen Shoot Gentlemen.
"The leading editorial, whose dis-
appearance Is predicted and whose
decline is obvious, has suffered most
by the transition process from the
personal to the Impersonal. There
was exhilaration In pistols an 1 cof-
fee. The duel was more interesting
and less expensive {linn the libel suit.
Tile good old times of gun play are,
alas, no more If a gentleman now-
adays shoots another gentleman,, they
call it murder
"Most of us have to work for a liv-
ing and some of us even to lie trained
for it,
"I do not think the newspaper con-
siders itself as a public prosecutor;
rather the personal representative,
friend and neighbor of good men and

It is han* to believe that, with the
enormous increase in the number of
automobiles, the horse Is still so

total number of horses in the United
States today is over 21,000,000. This
in 400.000 more than the previous \ea 1
It Is claimed that thev are worth, on
an average, ten dollars more per head
than a year ago.
