PRESIDENT TAFT'S VIEWS
UPON NEWSPAPER DUTIES.

In the literal meaning Of his words,
though perhaps not as he intended to
be understood. President Taft rightly
defines the duty of newspaper man
and, hence, Of a newspaper. In his
speech TO the Chicago newspaper men
the other nigat, the President said:
A newspaper man U no does his task
rightly is man VINO furnishes the
facts as they are without respect to
whom they hurt or help. but the
man who is preaching an evangel or
who is helping a cause. and especially
the one who takes himself seriously,
is the worst witness of the events
with respect to which his views reach
that you can possibly have.
This paragraph taken in connection
with Mr.. Taft's speech in its entirety
means that a newspaper mans duty
begins. ends, and is complete when, re-
porting a Presidential action he makes
note of what the President did, with
the Presidents reasons for so doing.
In the case of the President that might
he a sufficient service; not so in all
things.
Every newspaper free from political
or other ambitions strives for accuracy
and seeks to furnish "the facts as they
are" and only the facts. Even the
President of the United States cannot
appreciate more keenly this obligation
than do thousands of editors and news
papermen of the country, but it must
be recognized that a wide difference of
opinion exists as 10 what are facts.
For example, if an ordinary news
paper reporter is sent TO "cover" a
fire, he may fulfill strictly the Presi-
Dental conception of "the facts as they
are by giving graphic account of the
fire from the time it was reported to
its ending. Yet, if the fire is of in.
cendiary origin and the reporter fails to
take note of that, he displays incom.
petence.
Now, in the larger field of newspaper
activity, it becomes a duty of the in
, telligent newspaper man to take ae-
count of "the facts as they are" and
of all the facts. A newspaper man
would err grievously If, hearing a

ANOTHER HIT SCORED FOR
ARBITRATION.

That a tribunal to which disputes
between employers and employees may
be referred for arbitration-even if it
has not authority 10 enforce It's de-
cisions-may be most helpful in avert
ing strikes is again demonstrated by
the appeal to Government officials 10
intervene in the Wes. and arbitrate the
differences which have arisen between
the railroads and their employees. The
fact that there is some important body
in existence which may be invited 10
pass on the issues raised almost com
pels their submission. neither side being
willing 10 enter upon a struggle
weighted down with public disapProvaI
owing to refusal TO let fair minded
men pass on the dispute.
Without the conclusions Of the arbi-
tration committee the public IL at sea,
generally speaking, as 10 the merits
of such a controversy. 1t knows, in
this instance, that wages have not kept
pace with the increase in the cost OF
living; but it also knows that the
wages OF organized labor have ad-
vanced much faster than the wages of
unorganized labor. It knows that
there Is a point beyond which wages
cannot be advanced or hours of labor
shortened without crippling industry,
Il knows that railroad companies can
not advance rates as they please and
recoup themselves for the higher wages
they pay by the high rates they re-
ceive. Consequently, the public can see
much TO he said for each d,sputant.
The findings Of an arbitrs tion com
mittee are most helpful in aiding it to
reach conclusion as to which side Is
entitled to public support. and the side
which gets it usually wins.

SENATELEADERS, TOO, HAVE
TO GIVE WAY.

While the insurgents in the House
have been securing important results,
it is no less fact that the Senate in
surgents have been achieving things.
They have forced a revision of the
Administration railroad bill in less than
week from the time of its presenta
tion by the Senate committee. And it
Is not yet in a form To command suf-
icient strength to pass it, as the In
dIcatiOns point.
So successful was the opposition to
the original draft prepared by Attorney
General Wickersham, that the Senate
organization yielded to the pressure
and has changed its provisions so as to
require the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to place its sanction upon traf-
ic agreements between different roads
before they 90 into effect. Also it was
decided to allow parties in an action
before the proposed commerce court to
appear by counsel
The changes were made because it
was manifest that the bill would fail
entirely if it were not revised BY this
the weakness of the Senate organiza-
tion is again apparent. Instead of arbi-
trarily driving the measure through the
Senate, the leaders are now forced to
treat with Senators Cummins, Capp
and other Westerners who compose the
insurgent wing Of the party in the
Senate. Machine control of either body
Is no longer a fact. With Cannon
stripped Of his power and with Aldrich
Hale, and Lodge making concessions ia

NATIONAL REGATTA DE,
SERVES CITY'S SUPPORT.

Washington VII, he the cynosure Of
the eyes of the rowing world next July
when the national regatta Is held here.
BY its decision last night to hold the
most intensely interesting Of all
aquatic affairs on the upper Potomac,
the National Association of Amateur
Oarsmen paid welI-deserved compH-
melIt to the oarsmen of this city
In the whole category of American
sport there is no branch cleaner than
rowing The professional who has
proven such an impediment to other
athletics is practically unknown to
b1a'ing. while the history II sculling
and sweep rowing contains few cases OF
unsportsmanlike deeds or Of scandal.
But to conduct such a national event
successfully depends upon the liberal
ity and civic pride of Washington. With
practically no revenue from the sale
of seats or other sources. it Is necessary
to appeal for voluntary subscriptions
for the regatta fund.
The Chamber of Commerce already
has pledged its support. and other organ
izations should do likewise and con
tribute according to their means.
The regatta viii not be confined To q
single club or association. but is dis.
tnctly a Washington affair and de-
serving Of Washington's support.

soon as the war with Spain was over.
Why it was not then done-why it has
been left undone 10 this late date-is a
question to which no one has yet made
satisfactory reply. Now, however, the
House Committee on Naval Affairs,
which is at present interesting the
country in various ways, has decided
to approve this long called for act of
charity and self-respect-of charity TO
the patriots who went down with the
Maine, and of self-respect to the nation
at large.
II must be wished that there win he
no further dallying over a subject the
treatment of which, so far as Congress
is concerned, has been anything but
creditable up to date.

ness toward certain commercial or. po-
litical interests, putting it upon the
ground of tne Oft-sbused dictates of
conscience" he did not publish stimuli
taneously the fact that the statesman
had received $4,000, directly or indi-
rectly, before he hardened to the die
tates of conscience.
Sometimes, it makes a vast differ
ence in a so-called fact to have il dis
cussed as an effect produced or achieved
and to have it also analyzed 70 ascer-
tain the motive which prompted It.
Even the most hyper-eriticaI of men
draw a sharp line between the man
who steals dollar 20 buy bread for his
suffering family, and the one who
steals because crime is easier than
honest labor. Even the courts draw this
line.
1t must be regretted that some news
papers, animated by private ambitions,
do violate their obligations TO the pub
lie by adjusting facts to their policies
instead of making their policies con-
form to unexpected and disappointing
facts. Yet the trend in newspaper work
is upward; the motive and purpose are
higher, much higher, than they were a
decade ago.
And the progress of newspapers and
newspaper men is equal TO, If not
greater than, that in other professions
in which the demand is just as strong
for honesty of purpose and a regard
for what is right.
