UNCONFIRNIED NEMs.

If newspapers printed only the
things that some public men think
they should print. they would have
little else but real estate transfers,
marriages and deaths. At the same
time, whatever the convictions of the
newspaper men who heard Pres't Will
son speak at New York the other
night. they all seemed to applaud his
plea for caution i'm printing uncon-
frmed news
At the height OF the yellow journal
ism movement. a host of papers never
made efforts TO distinguish between
rumor and fact. If there was dis
patch that the Japs had landed troops
on the Philippines. they chucked it in
and denied it next day in small type.
More often they did not bother TO
insert any denial-unless it had a
string in the form Of possible libel
suit.
The war news is full of fakes. Some
of these are feelers. sent out by some
government anxious to try out a GER
tain idea on public sentiment The
confusion Of war sets afloat daily a
thousand rumors that are merely
some ones surmises
1t often seems as if the big metro
politan papers fail to estimate high
enough the intelligence of the public.
The hustling jewellers in New York.
Chicago, and San Francisco may be
too busy TO read anything but head
lines But there are millions of others
who read intelligently and form Opin-
ions. When the editor puts a head
line on a story showing that he ac-
cepts it as a fact. his audience may
read it through and pronounce it a
fake. A newspaper that does that
may sell on street cars and railroad
trains, but it VIII never get any hold
on homes where thoughtful people
read, estimate, and weigh.
Could some newspaper man act On
the suggestions made by Prest Wilson,
not merely would this country be in
better position to maintain advan-
tageous neutrality. but seine news
papers would command wider respect.

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY

Almost Indignantly, and with the
worried air of a hen whose ducklings
have taken to the water, many of the
fine old rOck-ribbed, -the-woOl,
irOn-bOund and cOpper-riveted repub-
lean organs, like the Kansas City
Journal, fretfully protest that it's a
shame TO say that good times are ap-
preaching during a democratic admin
istraton. They say that it is plain to
any conscientious Standpatter that the
democratic party is to blame for war
conditions; the tariff causes the fall
ing off in revenue from imports and
the high cost of living; that fact that
William Jennings Bryan prefers grape
juice TO booze is responsible for the
Mexican mess and for the invasion OF
Belgium and the English blockade of
German ports. They declare that it is
a species of treason to look for better
times until the patriots of the grand
old party have again been led up to
the feed trough.
There are still a few who insist on
discOunting the return of prosperity;
who refuse to see the signs that are
so plain 10 the majority; who have
held that the country has gone to hell
and is bound TO Keep on that way.
The political standpatters honestly
believe that the country can not be
prosperous unless the stalwart wing
of the republican party is drawing the
salaries Because in the most pros
porous period the country has enjoyed
the republican party happened to be
in power they attribute to this coin
cidence the cOuntry's prosperity. I'm
thinkingly, they permit themselves to
believe that tariffs and acts Of con-
gress make and unmake the prosperity
of a nation They forget that if che
country was in any way badly pre-
pared to meet war conditions, it was
the fault of the party that had been
in power 16 years, not of the party
that had been in power a scant year
and half.
But the era Of prosperity that is ap-
preaching will depend on no political
party. 1t will be helped very little and
it will be hindered not at all because
one party is in power or because an
other party has its feet outside the
swill trough. Prosperity may be post
poned until the end of the war, but
the ground swell that precedes the
big wind is now apparent. The feeling
is in the air. 1t is showing in all the
big business activities. 1t is not demo-
cratic prosperity nor republican pros
Derity. but national prosperity. But
it's not going to do the party IN power
any harm if il arrives before year

IT Sure PAYS.

The santa re railroad has become a
great system, and largely because its
management injects the human ele-
ment that makes the whole world kin,
into the conduct of its affairs.
In Texas a freight conductor was
out on his run, when the word was
flashed that his wife was dying. Sim
ultaneOusly came an order from head
quarters TO detach the engine and
caboose and run special 10 the city
where she was. Right of way was
given the special over all trains. The
conductor reached his wife's side in
time to see her alive once agGin.
Don't YOU think that kind of 'busi-
ness" pays2

In a few words the Evening Ledger
of Philadelphia, sums up a situation
that is facing the country at the pres
ent time. 1t says:
Sec'y Of Labor Wilson has Il remedy
for wiping out unemployment. Put
the jobless to work" he says, ION
land reclamation, government build
ingS and river harbOr Improvements.
Let federal state and municipal au-
thorities do the same, and there will
be work all the year round for those
who want it."
Good 1t is a splendid time for the
beginning of great public enterprises
that would be undertaken anyhow.
But this idea of a paternal govern
ment that will always furnish work
and wages for the people is decidedly
awkward. No people ever got rich by
taking money out of one pocket and
putting it into another. There can
never be any permanent prosperity
achieved by piling on taxes for the
purpose of doing them back to the
people in wages. That, nevertheless, is
the principle on which many of our
statesmen base their conclusions.
They are convinced that business is
something 10 be whacked and govern
ment something to be fed with pap.
The sooner Washington understands
that there will always be unemploy-
ment unless business is encouraged in
stead Of discouraged the sooner the
country will be back on a bread and
butter instead Of soup diet.--Bristol,

we got what we expected and then
some. One Of the men in the store

passed down the aisle shouting his
newspapers, magazines or fruits
i'm a singsOng voice. and that let him
out He did not larry long. and II
one did not care for what he had 70
say or had TO sell only a scant amount
of harm was done.
Almost anybody could be train
butcher in the good old-fashioned
way. But nOW-in the WeSt-Or at
any rate IN those parts of the west
where the scenery abounds-the train
butcher must be not only a salesman
but a lecturer, cross between a book
agent and Lyman II. Howe. He gives
a travel talk on the scenery and then
undertakes TO sell a book of views
confirming all that he has said. He
slides into the seat beside the guile
less passenger and takes the passen-
gers attention from the scenery to
look at souvenir Taper weight. he
viii talk cOnfidentially for 10 minutes
about the merits OF a pair of penny
pOstcards-for which he asks dime
Throughout the west practically
everything that one can think of is
now offered for sale on trains-Navajo
blankets, Indian jewelry, staple and
fame groceries. and all manner of ar
ticles for which one cares little or
nothing.
In the course of a days journey
through a mountainous region, we
came to a patch Of snow. Simulta-
neOusly with our coming upon the
snow entered a train salesman with
about eight dozen pairs of low grade
amber. spectacles over his arm. He
explained that from then on we would
be in snow almost continuously and
that TO save the passengers eyesight
the railroad company had thought
fully provided colored glasses at the
absurdly low price of so cents each.
When no one offered TO buy he
started his lecture all over again with
ramifications and variations. quoting
various learned medical authorities on
the deplorable number of persons
whose eyesight had been wrecked and
whose lives had been made one con-
tinuOus- performance headache simply
because they persisted in staring out
into the sunlight reflected by the great
white mantle of snow.
BY the time he had finished his dis
cussiOn the train had pulled out or the
little patch of snow.
And we saw little more snow that
day.
