NEWSPAPERS "R0ASTERS."
Unproiessional, Improbable and Should be
Discouraged.

A Herbert Spencer can outline a
code of moral and ethical conduct
based on the laws of nature that all
mankind can follow with impunity,
but he who would attempt to COM
pile complete code of ethics for the
newspaper profession applicable to
all localities will fail in his under
taking, as the writers of many ex-
cellent articles along this line in
previous issues of The American
| Press" have intimated, and truth
fully, that the policy of newspaper,
and country newspaper especially,
is necessarily governed by environ
ment. Yet there are rules of con-
| duct that have a worldwide appli-
cation-verities governing the pro-
fession that are as broad as civiliza-
tion itself-and, failing to observe
this code. no newspaper man can
hope to reach a dizzy height in the
profession.
First among the sins of news
paper men, and a failing common
among country editors, are the petty
quarrels among themselves. If there
is anything that stiles the country
newspaper and warps the judgment
OF its editor more than quarrelling
with contemporary | have failed
to observe accurately. But l am
positive that there is not. 1t seems to
me that these little scraps" among
editors are purely a disregard for
the dignity of their calling and a
gross violation of the ethics of the
profession, if we are to place journ-
alism in the category of the profess
sions, and today more than at any
stage of the worlds progress is the
newspaper given place among the
callings ofdignity.
Let us for one moment imagine
two lawyers, two doctors or two
merchants engaged in foolish little
war of words and branding each
other with the appellations of
'grafter, " "shyster," ETC., as some
editors are continually doing. How
long would their supply of dignity
last, and how long would the pub
lie repose in them the dignity due
all men engaged in honorable call
ings? Whenever l pick up AN ex-
change and see roast" directed
at some other member of the craft
at once conclude that here is an
editor who is wasting his energy on
the desert air and making a cousum-
mate ass of himself besides. And
isn't this about what the average
person thinks about it2
The same principle, in my opinion
applies to attacks on private citizens
or even those in public station.
Just as soon as man becomes an
apologist he is surrendering, and
just as soon as man starts to pur-
sue the course Of malicious "roasts"
just as sure is his paper in state
Of decadence. No newspaper can
be in a healthy condition when its
editor is in an unhealthy frame of
mind, and an editor in a healthy
frame of mind is and an editor who
is broad minded, optimistic, gener-
Gus, fearless and free from malice

A shaving OF wood curls up owing
to contraction on one side and expan.
sion on the other. This expansion Is
accelerated by what Is known as the
back iron or cap iron" which Is used
IN most planes.
The object OF this cap iron Is to
break the shavings into short lengths
and to prevent the cutting IRON from
tearing or splitting the tibers Of the
wood, which lie always more or less
In a slanting direction.
The nearer the edge OF the black
iron is placed 70 the edge Of the "cut.
ting iron" the shorter the s~llaylngs nre
broken on. These are smooth on one
side. and the s~errations on the other
correspond with the distance between
the edges OF the two irons.
All wood. too, is formed in circular
rings, such az can be seen In the sec.
tion Of any tree trunk. 1t follows,
therefore. that when the rings OF wood
are cut across. as they nre to d certain
extent In the act Of planning, they arc
relieved from tension, and curl up In
the endeavor to expand themselves.
