flew more than mile under it's own
steam and marked the beginning of a
new era in aviation. Its inventor,
Professor Samuel P. Langley, contin-

that would carry a man and finally
died Of a broken heart. some of his
friends say, because of the ridicule
heaped on him because he thought he
could invent a flying machine

departments at the state schools into
one big newspaper school at the state
university is the aim of the educa-
tionaI administration board. That such
a policy has been adopted and is be-
ing worked out in detail, was admit
ted by members of the board at their
meeting in Topeka.
Following out their campaign of
economy, the board has agreed that the
state is maintaining too many schools
of industrial journalism. One news
paper school is enough. the board says.
And that school will be located at Kan
sas university. The new educational
publicity agent, under the plan to be
put in operation, will act as dean of
the school of industrial journalism. He
will not only fill all the functions of
the present dean of the department,
but will be official press agent for
all of the state schools. He will direct
the issuance of bulletins and reports
not only for K. u. but for the agri-
cultural college and the state normal
as we'll. Thus, the board plans,
Kansas university will become the dis
tributing agency for all of
the state educational institutions. At
the other schools, assistant publicity
men will be retained. Their work. how
ever, will be in line with that of
local news agent or correspondent
with publicity headquarters at Law
renee.
This new policy will be put in oper-
alton sometime during the coming
school year. As yet the board has
not decided on the selection of a pub
licity agent. Neither has the board
determined the salary which will be

CHANNEL WON CLAIM.
Awarded Pay While Off on Account
of Injuries.

Cincinnati, May 6.-The National
commission has modified a finding of
the National board which had denied
a claim for salary by Player L. c..
Channel against the Denver club.
Channel was injured in a game, and
received only half salary during part
of his illness. He applied for full sal
airy for that time and for salary also
for month following his illness. The
commission allowed the player full sal
airy during his illness but disaIlowed
any claim for salary following his ILL
ness until he reported to his club in
good condition.

JUDGES AND EDITORS.
ISioux City Journal.

Discussing the Liberty Of the
Press" before the National Press Asso-
citation at Colorado Springs the other
day, Judge Smith Mcpherson pre-
sented a judicial estimate Of the rela-
tiorship between the courts and the
newspapers. Some of the judges
statements gave the newspaper view of
contempt proceedings as tersely as it
has been presented by any editor. mo

for strength without inviting control ct
the entire banking system by . cotsrte
Of big bankers and because OF this
problem the question OF interlocking
directorstes is now up for discussion
in Washington.
AS is usual with all great problems
the senior Iowa senator has seen it
year or more in advance Of the rest Of
the nation and his bill introduced IN
the senate a year ago will be found
good working model when tackling this
question.
1t was disclosed by the Investigations
Of the Pujo committee that $50 firm
members and directors in eighteen A.
nancial institutions hold TAG director
ships in 134 corporations having total
resources or capitalization Of $685.
900, 900. In banks and trust companies
alone they hold 3s5 directorships in
forty one institutions with resources of
over three billions Of dollars, fifty d.
rectorships in eleven insurance COM
panies with assets Of more than two
and half billions. 135 directorships in
thirty-one railroad companies with
over twelve billions of capital.
When a few men. most Of whom live
in New York, control SO large por-
ton of the country's business and cap
ital it is not to be wondered at that
congress and the president are afraid
of adding to their power by any sys-
tenn Of further uniting the national
banks of the country into reserve as
sociations. Also is il natural for many
of the big bankers who are numbered
among these $50 directors to complain
bitterly OF any plan congress may
propose to curtail their power.
The Cummins bill absolutely pro-
hibited men from holding directorships
in more than one corporation, when
those corporations were engaged in
competitive lines Of business and it
placed limitations upon the director
ships that any man could hold in a
bank or trust company. When con-
gress actually tackles the problem Of
giving the little fishes a chance the
Cummins bill will be on file in the
senate as a model from which to build
what is wanted.

other man, for the excellent reason
that hes lands out more strongly than
any other. or than all others. as one
who. holding peace or war in his hands
for quarter Of century, has willed
peace and compelled it. While Mr..
Carnegie was making armour plate,

the greatest military power in the
world. was maintaining peace and say
ing nothing In years when he was
called war lord" and when his face
was pictured in every war cloud the
winds Of European correspondence
could blow up. he was maintaining his
army at the highest efficiency. to be
ready for a war at moments notice.
Beyond a reasonable doubt he has
maintained the peace Of Europe by 80
doing.
When a young man, said to be i'm
pulsive and hot headed, shouldered the
veteran Bismarck out of his way,
world which has grown to admire and
respect if not actually to love the old
blood and iron chancellor. made a
wrong appraisement Of him. We took
him to be headstrong. impatient of

pose Of driving hard. Writers who

rest of us did. encouraged this false
impression The result was that we

many foolish things the war cloud

few years of this we began to Won

play judge and jury in imposing pun
ishment. it will be only q short time
until the court will find themselves
shorn by law of the right to go beyond
the precincts Of the courtroom to find
victims for contempt proceedings. A
Judge is only a promoted lawyer.
Judges, like lawyers, can make mis-
takes. 1t is to the public interest that
mistakes when made shah be pointed
out Indeed, II is to the interest OF the
judges themselves, as Judge McPher-
son suggests, that their rulings shall
be subject to legitimate discussion IN
the press as in private or public speech.
If any judge can punish as contempt,
ANYTHING said about his work that may
not meet his approval, then 1t is not
safe for newspa per to make any crit
ical comment about court ruling. And
when that condition exists, the freedom
of the press has been curtailed.
In advising his colleagues to well
come legitimate newspaper comment,
Judge Mcpherson had pertinent
word of advice for the newspapers.
From the yellow journalists and scan
dal mcngers ne concluded that it was
useless to expect fair treatment ana
equally useless to attempt any punish
ment for unfair treatment. But most
newspapers, like most men, he credited
with sincerity in their utterances.
Even with sincerity, however, unfair
ness may often spring from lack OF
information. Admitting besetting
weakness of the judges to be belief
that because Of their office they
should be beyond criticism. the
speaker pointed out a corresponding
weakness on the part OF some news
papers. This weakness. as the Judge
described 1t, was that too many pub
fishers predetermine a fixed policy and
decide in advance whether the hold
ing of the courts, if one way or the
other. shall be commended or disap-
proved. Naturally a newspaper com
mitted to one side OF a case can no:
give judicial treatment to court ful-
ing that may favor the other side OF
the case. The point made by Judge
Mcpherson is well taken. NO DOUBT
it is responsible for good deal OF
the judicial resentment OF newspaper
criticisms which ignore a side OF the
case to which the courts must give
! full consideration.
The happy medium Of newspapers
and court relations. in the opinion 81

1 il the editor in print would dis-
