Sandburg's motive was not mercenary, or he would have signed a contract with one of the larger independent syndicates able to offer him many times what he receives from the Chicago Times. Nevertheless, to pay him even a comparatively modest sum, the Times was compelled to syndicate his writings. None of the smaller papers buying the service, of course, ever would have dreamed of employing Sandburg or anyone of comparable importance as a staff writer. Suppose, however, that the opposite were true-that Sandburgs came so cheap that every country weekly could afford to have one. Whence would be derived the supply? Unfortunately for American letters, as well as for journalism, such talent is rare, and many of the approximately nineteen hundred dailies and twelve thousand weeklies would have only pretty sorry imitations of those who now have won their reputations in the field of syndicate writing
