theory would be to descend to the
level of the common blackmailer.
Stories of the disgracefuI doings OF
young millionaires, and ole ones. too,
for that matter. are good for publica-
ton because. unless the central figure
is lost to all sense of shame he is
mighty apt to lead a more righteous
life thereafter. And the effect is good
in another way. Other naturally wild
and reckless individuals are led into
better ways for fear Of seeing their
own names in print in unpleasant
connections some dav.
The world is growing better and we
believe it is largely because the news
papers are growing better. There are
more reports of offenses against good
morals, of grating in official circles
than ever before. The -rafting has
been going on all the time. 1t is only
recently that the newspapers have had
courage enough to expose it, only re-
Gently that prosecuting officials have
been brave enough to prosecute the
offenders.

uIRscH ON PUBLICITY.

Rabbi Hirsch says something worth
listening to nearly every time he
speaks. In d recent address, however,
he struck the bulrs-eye so fairly that
we are impeIled to reproduce and
comment The rabbi was talking
about publicity, with particular ref
erence TO newspaper publicity. Among
other things he said:
when young millionaires give
champa gne sUppers to chorus girls
and drink out of the Iatter's shoes, I
believe in the newspapers printing a
full account OF the affair. Formerly
those who were not afraid Of the
police were afraid of the devil, but
now people think the devil can be
fooled by a good lawyer, and the only
things which replace the gentle min
istrations OF his satanic majesty are
the newspa pers. 1 believe in the puri-
flying effects of the light and air of
publicity"
Many a man would now be enjoying
the esteem and confidence of the pub
lie if the newspapers had not printed
stories showing that they were not
worthy of that confidence and esteem.
The fact that the good win of the
public is lost to such men by news
paper publications does not by any
means indicate that the newspapers
were wrong in printing the stories.
1t simply means that men who did
not deserve good Will at any time
have lost it,, They have lost that
which they held by false pretenses.
There is no wrong i'm this

BRYAN FOR PEACE.

In a talk delivered at a banqret
given by the Bankers club of Toxic
in his honor William Jennings Bryan
offered a suggestion for insuring
world peace. The idea seems emf.
nently sound and practicable. Mr..
Bryan explained that The Hague tri-
bunal cannot always settle interna-
tional disputes because questions af-
fecting the integrity or the honor of
nations are expressly reserved from
arbitration. He said that nations
never know when their honor or in
tegrity is liable to become involved.
They are reluctant. therefore, about
submitting any controversies what
ever to The Hague tribunal
4 want to propose a PLAN" Mr..
Bryan went on, that may avoid the
difficulty and lead to some good re-
suit. If the nations, before declaring
war, would agree that there should be
some sort of impartial investigation
by an international tribunal, and re-
port its conclusions, each nation re-
serving the right to exercise its own
free will afterward, the investigation
not to bind the parties, but only to
report or rec0mmend-because you
cannot always tell what questions
may be brought up or what they will
lead to-but who, If believing in
peace, can object to an impartial
board inquiring into the justice of the
dispute and expressing the public
opinion Of the world?
st believe the establishment Of such
board, leaving to the nations the
right of independent action after
wards, would do much to settle the
difficulties between nations-wouId do
more even than any system involving
an agreement in advance to abide by
the decision
The plan is a good one While
it might not have the effect of putting
an end to war it would certainly have
a tendency in that direction. Suppose
the court of investigation unanimous
Iy decided that the demands Of
given nation were unjust? Would not
that have a tremendous effect in pre-
venting a beginning Of hostilities be-
tween the parties to the dispute? Few
nations would care to begin a war
which universal public opinion had
declared to be an unjust one.
This comment on Mr.. Bryan's plan
serves to remind US of the fact that
beginning with the next issue of

Of the world viii be offered to the
