What's the News !?
ON the New York Globe.

from tne New 1cfh LiODe
How does your favorite paper, morn
ing or evening, English, German. Yiddish
or Italian, divide it's space among the diff
ferent kinds of news? That an answer to
this question would be interesting, if you
could get it, is shown in the Inde-
pendent by Prof Avian A. Tenney, who
teaches sociology at Columbia. Some of
his students have been measuring the
news in thirteen issues of five English
dailies, six issues of three German dali
lies. six issues OF five Italian dailies, seven
issues of four Yiddsh dailies. All the
newspapers examined aue published in
New York.
The news for the purpose Of this ex-
animation was divided into political.
economic, cultural. amusements. crime and
accidents, and personal. The highest per-
centage Of political and economic news
appeared in the English papers. In cul-
tural news the Yiddish papers were first,
with the German a good second, and the
English last. The Italian papers We're
first in crime and accidents-devoting g
about between four and five times as
mucl, space to crime as a standard daily
published in Italy, of which thirteen is
sues of about the same date were eX-
amined. Besides being ahead in cultural
news, the Yiddish dailies gave up the
least space-about per cent-to personal
and social news.
The examination had some interesting
by-products. 1T so happens" says Prof.
Tenney, that of the five New York dali
lies printed in English, the paper that
published the maximum proportion Of
financial news had next to the minimum
percentage of labor news, whereas the
paper giving the minimum financial news,
published, with one exception, the maxi
mum OF labor news. The paper publishing
the maximum labor news was next to
the lowest in financial news" The Eng
lish paper which gave the maximum to
sporting news ranked high in the amount
of space given to cultural news-more
cultural news. in fact, than the paper
which gave the lowest percentage to
sporting news. These results says
Prof. Tenney. throw doubt upon the
truth of the popular idea that much at
tention to sports accompanies little at
tentiOn to cultural TOPICS"

The Poor Mans Friend,
By DIR. FRANK CRANE.

We have heard a good deal of the poor
mans friend. Here is one so advertised
He is q politician, and wants the poor
mans vote, mainly because it is more
numerous than the rich mans. Here is
another, a philanthropist, who doles
bread; another builds a hospital or a
library or a college dormitory. And so
on.
And this is q symptom OF charity
among us, and it would be churlish to
snarl at it.
But the thoughtful mind cannot resist
the conclusion that in the long run such
deeds are not Of much permanent value
to the poor.
The poor man has just one friend
real friend.
1t is the honest man.
The more you think Of that word "hon-
est the more it seems to roar like thun-
der. to flash reveaiingly, like lightning.
The honest thinker, the man who re-
how much the poor owe him! 1t is he
who has stopped church prosecutions,
upset gloomy theologies, overturned ty-
rant thrones. abolished iniQuitous laws,
done away with evil customs. To him is
due the death of witch burning, slavery
and quackery.
The poor have but one real enemy. 1t
is privilege. In the end the poor pay for
hereditary naonarchies, tariff -fattened
trusts, gratis and sinecures. And the
buttresses Of privilege are moral cow
ardice and intellectual dishonesty.
The prime minister of privilege is ex-
pediency.
1t is expediency that protects and
promotes graft. ecclesiastical, political
or financial. 1t is because men say what
they do not believe, for the wretched
reason that ''it is best or "it is safest
that ancient frauds live on and are fat
tened by the blood Of the poor.
There is no finer charity on earth than
for a man to be truthful. tell the truth
and act the truth. At last it is such a
man who blesses his fellows.
To get money from people by chicanery
and return it. or part of 1t, to them
as charity, this has hitherto been the
typical philanthropist. The moral sense
Of the modern world has gotten, or is
getting, beyond that.
The Roman emperors oppressed the
populace and gave them bread and Cir
cuses-"panem ct circenses." The spirit
ual lords of medievalism oppressed the
people and gave them aims The mod
ern financial baron oppresses the people
and gives them-institutions.
"And yet 1 show unto you more ex-
cellent way
It is-be honest
Take nothing you do not earn. Ac-
cept no benefit for which you do not re-
turn some equivalent. Think nothing that
does not appeal to you as the truth. Tell
the truth. Quit trying to do people
good" Begin trying to be honest plain,
downright honest.

Holidays Have Uses.

From the Detroit Free Press.
We disagree emphatically with those
who maintain that there are too many
public school holidays We protest most
earnestly aga INST y any curtailment of
either the Christmas or Easter holidays
These holidays afford opportunity for the
happiest and most profitable episodes of
family life They are the seasons which
furnish the dearest and most solac.ng
memories in the years of later life. They
are the soil in which grows the romance
of child life, and, goodness knows, child
life in America has little enough whole
some romance. With many they are not
mere holidays; they are holy days. full OF
sacred meaning. They should not be de-
stroyed to make way for q merely utili-
tartan program.

WORRY LEADS TO SUICIDE.
Mrs. Rutledge of Kansas Unable to
Locate Buried Treasure.

COUNCIL GROVE, Kan, November 9.
Worry over her inability to find 5000
in gold which she knew to be buried in an
iron pot on her farm, is believed to have
caused a fit Of dependency which led to
the suicide here yesterday of Mrs. Joseph
Rutledge. Mrs. Rutledge shot herself
through the head.
Her husband had concealed his savings
in his own way, promising to reveal the
cache to his wife before he died. His
death came suddenly last February be-
fore he could reveal the hiding place.

WAR ON STANDARD OIL

BERLIN, November 9-The Standard
Oil Company is apt to find foemar
worthy of it's steel when, in few weeks
its begins it's fight to retain its hold on the
oil trade in Germany. for not only will
the full strength of the kaisers govern.
ment be behind the German oil trade
but the latter has engaged the former
colonial secretary, Herr Bernhard Dern-
burg, Germany's most shining CONNER
cial light and a man with a perfect gen.
ius for organization, to lead its forces
into the gigantic fight
What makes Herr Dernburg especially
dangerous to the American octopus is
the fact that he has passed through his
apprenticeship in New York. and there is
no Wall street trick with which he is not
familiar. In Germany he is famous in
banking circles for his ruthlessness,. and
his methods Of fighting the Standard will
undoubtedly be of the kind which will de-
light Thomas w. Lawson Of Boston, whom
Herr Dernburg greatly admires.
First Step in the Fight.
The first step in the campaign will be
the creation of German state monopoly
in oil, and to do this will lead to a pre-
liminary battle on the floor of the reich
stag, where the government will have a
hard fight with a strong opposition.
On general principles the socialists will
oppose the government plan of establish
ing a chartered company, in which is to
be conferred the exclusive right of selling
OIL
While any connection between the Ger
man socialists and the Rockefeller forces
is. of course. out of the question. charges
are even now being made against Rookie
feller of having bribed members of the
Roman Catholic center party, which is
preparing to oppose the government
At any rate, the fight will be an un-
usually interesting one from start to nm
ish, and may even involve America and
Germany in diplomatic difficulties.

His wife's behavior. having already
given him cause for anxiety he invited
her father and mother to join him on
the farm, in the hope that their pres

growing levity and extravaganza. Moth

seemed to be exasperated by the pres

latter openly took her husbands part in
the frequent disputes between them. Her
extravaganza became unbounded, and at
last her husband. on the advice of his
father-in-law, resolved to publish state

Special CablegTam to The Star.
BERLIN, November 9.-The scarcity Of
meat in Germany, which has compelled
the German government to a certain ex-
tent to go against it's old allies. the agra
rian junkers,' has resulted in the
foundation in various places in Germany
Of municipal or semi-municipal institu-
tions. the purpose of which is to provide
meat for the laboring classes and the
poor at reasonable prices Chief among
these is the "Freibank' in Hamburg.
which in many ways is model estab-
.ishment.
The meat is first dealt with by a vet
Urinary surgeon, freed from the SICK
parts, treated in a tremendous sterilizng
apparatus, and after once more being sub
jected to expert opinion is sold in small
quantities to consumers. Previously this
meat used to be sent into the open mar
ket.
The "F,reibank" Is a limited liability
company, consisting Of local cattle COM
mission agents and the butchers guild.
1t was affiliated with the cooking instl-
tute established by the city In 1907 to
check economic waste" or to supply to
the poor meat that was formerly sent to
kracker. The institute now bears the
name of the ''Freibank." and In 1t Is
conducted the sale of inferior and cond1-
tionally fit meat in raw and cooked con-
ditions.
Sale Of Inferior Meats.
The conditionally fit meat will conse-
quently continue to be sold as of old as
cooked meat. and the inferior meat, which
hitherto went into the open market, will
now no longer come into the shops. but,
as being unfit for the bank" will be sold
at low prices at the 'F'reibank' under
government control in small quantities.
the intention being that the meat should
be used only in the consumers own
house and not, for instance, be served
in the eating houses as high-quality
meat.
II eating house proprietors use inferior
meat in their establishments they must,
according to law, put a notice to this ef-
feet in a prominent position on their
premises
The inferior meat is conf1scated in the
slaughter house by the inspector. the
police then decide if the meat is to be
sold. and, if SO. the person delivering the
meat receives from the .'Freibank" the
corresponding proceeds.

elderly, with long record of cures,
the other young, with his record still

was inclined to surrender some of
his night work to the younger man.
One bitter night in winter the veteran
was aroused by two farmers from a
hamlet eight miles away, the wife of
one of whom was seriously ill. The
doctor at once referred them to his
young colleague, but they refused the
latter's services. Very WE'LL" replied
the doctor, thinking to put convinc-
ing argument before them. 'tIn that
case my fee is ten dollars, payable

remonstrance on the part of the farm

Finally one of the men asked the
other: We'll, what do you think
