DANIELS Makes APPEAL
FOR PATRIOTIC PRESS
Tells Vermont Newspaper Men that
Zeal for War News Should Not Lead
Editors to Embarrass u. S.
PRAISES "PITILESS PUBLICITY"

Vergennes. Vt. Sept. 7.-Secretary o.
before the Vermont Press Association
declared no editor could be patriotic who
permitted his love for sensation, or hi!
zeal in printing the news to lead him
to print anything that might embarrass
his government In its diplomatic rela
tions.
He carefully refrained from making
any direct reference to the great wal
or its effect upon this country.
Declaring for fullest publicity in al
matters affecting the public. Mr.. Daniels
said:
In the final analysis. what is the
chief corrective power in America? Pres
ident Wilson's prescription for the most
insidious evils OF our day is 'pitiless
publicity President Roosevelt. after Wig
orous denunciation of certain evils, fig
uratively threw up his hand and de-
clared for publicity as the only sure
remedy.
The best purifier for dark and dank
corners is to let in the sun. In our day
the chief source Of light in the press.
So that. when lawmakers and executives
and refOrmers declare that publicity is
essential for any progress Of the right
sort their declaration Is equivalent to
asking that the press take the laboring
oar
They have right to make this re-
quest. Indeed, the public has the right
to make it as a demand rather than a
request. for IL the press does not do
battle for the people it has deEenersteu
into a mere phOnograph. sometimes
fear that the editor Of today has for
gotten his mis- sion. He sometimes
thinks he is chiefly a purveyor of news
and that his work is ended when he
has given accurate and Illuminating de-
criptions of current events"

These things are the rudiments from
which will emerge a world government,
a world federation competent TO do jus

the peace OF the world. Peace and the
things associated with peace must be
made of such value that men will not
dare risk them to chances and the havoc
OF war"
Referring to the newly enacted Clayton
Law. Mr.. GOmpers declared:
The workers Of America may rejoice in
the fact that the Senate and House Of
Representatives have adopted the great
