By five o'clock that afternoon
cheap uggs online Banneker was in the train returning to the city with a board across his knees, writing. Five hours later his account was finished. At the end of his work, he had one of those ideas for "pointing" a story, mere commonplaces of journalism nowadays, which later were to give him his editorial reputation. In the pride of his publicity-loving soul, Mr.
discount uggs for women Horace Vanney, chief owner of the International Cloth Mills, had given to Banneker a reprint of an address by himself, before some philosophical and inquiring society, wherein he had set forth some of his simpler economic theories. A quotation, admirably apropos to Banneker's present purposes, flashed forth clear and pregnant, to his journalistic memory. From the
discount ugg boots Ledger "morgue" he selected one of several cuts of Mr. Vanney, and turned it in to the night desk for publication, with this descriptive note:
Horace Vanney, Chairman of the Board of the International Cloth Company, Who declares that if working-women are paid more than a bare living wage, The surplus goes into finery and vanities which
ugg boots discount outlet tempt them to ruin, Mr. Vanney's mills pay girls four dollars a week.
Ravenously hungry, Banneker went out to order a long-delayed dinner at Katie's. Hardly had he swallowed his first mouthful of soup, when an office boy appeared.
"Mr. Gordon wants to know if you can come back to the office at once."
On the theory that two
cheap uggs online minutes, while important to his stomach, would not greatly matter to the managing editor, Banneker consumed the rest of his soup and returned. He found Mr. Gordon visibly disturbed.
"Sit down, Mr. Banneker," he said.
Banneker compiled.
"We can't use that Sippiac story."
Banneker sat silent and attentive.
"Why did you write it that way?"
"I wrote it as I got it."
"It
uggs discount is not a fair story."
"Every fact--"
"It is a most unfair story."
"Do you know Sippiac, Mr. Gordon?" inquired Banneker equably.
"I do not. Nor can I believe it possible that you could acquire the knowledge of it implied in your article, in a few hours."
