Gregory Hume.

Muscatine Journal. "Cranston's
Thirty" was almost paralleled in real
life when the second section of the
Springfield express on the New Haven
road crashed into the first section of
the same train Thursday afternoon.
Gregory Hume was not able to write
his story and some other mouth than
his own added his name to the death
list OF the wreck, but the thought OF
his paper was foremost in his mind
even as death reached for him. Car
ried mortally wounded from the
wreck, Hume gasped to the good
Sumaritans who cared for him, Call
Up my paper right away and tell them
there is big wreck here-a big story.
Tell them / am sorry that won't be
able to work because I'm smashed up.
Call up my mother too
Perhaps those words will not mean
much to the average reader; nothing
more than an illustration Of how
strong is the hold of habits Of
thought. But no man who ever GOV.
erred an assignment, scored scoon
or hoped to score one can read the
story OF Hume's taking off without a
thrill.
Before he thought of the unknown
future from which only hours separ-
Iated him, before even of his mother,
Hume thought of his paper The
answer is simple. Hume was a good
reporter. No such loyalty as this
could exist toward a mere employer.
ut was not of the counting office that
paid him his salary that he thought,
but of the sheet and all that 1t rep
resented, of that institution of which
he was an integral part, and of the
public that it served. Every good re-
porter hopes that he could meet a
supreme test as Hume met his. Most
/ of them would. 1t is this unthinking,

To the Editor OF The Gate City:
Some few days ago, Mr.. County
Auditor had a notice about his new
experiment about the delivery OF the
county warrants by mall, claiming he
was saving four dollars per day by
beating the supervisor out of that
time. Now, If he is SO economical as
he wants the voters to believe, the
thing for him to do is to send war
rants to his deputy auditor for dis
tribution as the county pays him
anyhow. Then parties who receive
warrants have to go to the court
house for their money can get their
warrants and money on one trip. It
seems that the auditor is becoming
quite lively in politics, Early to be
gin that job.

INCREASING SALES ABROAD.

The success of the great manufac-
turing Industries in extending their
sales abroad is illustrated by the ex-
port record of iron, copper, wood.
cotton, leather, and mineral oils dur
ing recent years. These six great in
dustries have been able to send their
products to every part of the world,
accompanied, where necessary. by rep
resentatives of their producers and
distributors and, as result, show
phenomenal gains in their foreign
sales. Exports of iron and steel man
ufactures (including automobiles and
agricultural implements with the
group usually designated iron and
steel manufactures have grown from
S25,000,000 in the fiscal year 1893 to
approximately s375,000,O00 in 1913, or
more than ten times as much as two
decades ago. Copper manufactures
show an even greater gain, from
s5,000,00O in 1893 to approximately
s140,000,00O in 1913 Manufactures OF

Circulation Liar Is Hit

Extracts from address by
James Kelley OF the Chicago
Tribune before the convention OF
the Associated Advertising clubs
of America. delivered at Balti-
more Monday evening.
The troubles that exist between
advertiser and publisher. the handi-
caps that prevent harmonious deal
tngs between the man who publishes
and the man who advertises are
based on what might euphoniously
be called one standard for editorial
honor and another for business"
Stripped of politeness OF phrlseology.
the trouble or problem, he said,
was really based on lying"
THAT is the root OF it, he con-
tinued, plain and affidavit lying and
with the lie there goes necessarily,
hand in hand, secrecy, subterfuge,
lack Of cooperation and trouble
trouble for the honest publisher. and
trouble for the advertiser who cannot
distinguish between the statement OF
the honest publisher and the state
ment of the dishonest publisher.
1T is a strange commentaries
an astonishing commentary on the
ethics Of one of the greatest indus
tries in the world-that Its business
integrity is at SO low an ebb that
newspapers, before they can market
their merchandise, have to submit
to the third degree to have establish
ed which, il any of them, are tell
ing the truth about what they have
to sell.
What would your tailo- say, If
when you purchase suit of clothes
you should insist on submitting 20
chemical analysis the cloth of which
the suit is to be constructed? What
would jeweler think, reputable
jeweler, if customer insisted on test
ing with acid and file the article that
he was buying. What would any re-
putable merchant say Ii his goods
were analysed. tested and otherwise
inspected before they were purchased?
And yet, this Is the situation in
the publication field today, and this
situation, humiliating as it is to the
honest publisher, and distressing and
troublesome to the advertiser, is due
largely, yet, wholly, to the newspa-
pers themselves. The circulation liar
is not quite as as old as Gutenberg
types, but he is not much younger.
/ He is not, am glad to say, as num-
erous as he was years ago, but he is
just as perniciously active as ever,

Des Moines advices say that the

to act as leader of public thought,

Of the finest long and short distance
falsifiers on earth.
These mem who lie about their
circulation, who defraud the adver-
tiser, are Just as guilty of obtaining
money under false pretenses. as Ia
the cheap swindler who palms off a
brass watch on a farmer under the
pretension that 1t is gold. One of
these days hope to see this guilt
made equal under the law If an adj
vertiser can be prosecuted and sent to
Jail for swindling the public, the pub
Usher who defrauds the advertiser

In conclusion Mr.. Keeley made a
plea for better cooperation, saying:
This lack OF cooperation between
publisher and advertiser has been a
bad thing, not only for the party Of
the first part, but also for the party
of the second part. The decent man,
whose yeracity and whose honor Is
unquestioned, and whose truthful state
ments are placed in the scale with
those Of an untruthful individual,
sometimes is in the frame Of mind
nonconducive to the cooperation that
should exist between publisher and
advertiser. Cooperation is essential

Wyoming led in full suffrage equality
more than forty years ago. Colorado
has had full suffrage for twenty
years; Idaho and U.ah since 1896.
Washington followed in 1910, while
the states of the latest group are Cali

were won last year. The suffrage that
is granted By legislation can, in the
DRY, be taken away by legislation and
it is not probable that state that had
