determined effort TO muzzie the
press but that muzzling would have
been as dangerous as tho abuse OF
its present freedom by the press,
since 1t would have been Of an arbi-
trary and an equally irresponsible
kind.
Tho Power of the News Distributor.
The public does not realize the
enormous power Of The press to mis-
guide public opinion when it de-
termines to do so. The average
reader imagines that public opinion,
IS fer as 1t is formed by newspapers,
Is formed by the editorial columns
Of the papers.
This is an entirely Inadequate
view. The editorials Of news
paper, in fact, have very little force
in moulding public opinion for the
reason that readers in general only
read editorials which arc ia accord
with their own existing views. When
editorials controyert the convictions
of the readers, the reader ceases to
read them and buys q paper which
reflects IN its editorials his own
opinions.
III is in its news columns that the
newspaper has its greatest power
over public opinion. II it publishes
aa a fact, for example. tho 'newg'
that German soldiers arc guilty Of
outrages, public opinion takes an
anti-German tinge far more quickly
than that from any number Of anti
German editorials The fact that no
such outragos have in reality oc-
CURED, is unknown to the readers.
Their "public opinion" is conse-
quently based upon the falsehood
circulated as q truth. A continued
policy of misrepresentation results
In the formation Of a more or less
violently marked public opinion
which is q great force for evil since
it is acting upcn false premises.
The public thus acts contrary to
reason and truth and to its own ulti-
mate disadvantage. sidctracl1ed by
editorial self-interost
It is not only, however, in actual
falsehood that newspapers pollute
public opinion, but in importance
and tone given TO tho published
matter

We tho public, hear much about
tho liberty Of tho press-from the
press the sacredness Of the free
dom Of the press is much dinned
into our oars-by tho press.
But we hear little of the re-
sponsibility of the press-gr from the
press. We hear little condemnation
Of the defamatory and destructive
Misrepresentation practiced by tho
press, little criticism Of false re-
ports, Haunted ignorance, news dis
colored by interest canards, it-is-
alleged, and the lilze-from the
press
Every newspaper has an axe to
grind; at least one, sometimes
many. And the public must do the
turning Of the grindstone
AS o matter Of fact what is the
press?
Newspaper Anarchy.
Whoever has the price Of type
and presses may issue q sheet OF
alleged information and sell it to
the public, and it may contain any
thing which his self-interest die
tates. II he takes the precaution
not to actually libel any individual,
he escapes all responsibility and
the only control which is exercised
over his operations is that exercised
by his readers, who il they like not
his news" OF the opinion he ex-
! presses may discontinue the pur-
chase OF his paper.

Schoolhouses for the PEOPLE,

In the very last hours of the Sixty
third Congress a bill was passed
which is of great importance to the
people of the District, being among
the last to receive the approval of the
President This is the bill providing
for the use of public school buildings
as social civic centers, measure for
which the people of the District have
been pressing for some years past.
A plant worth millions of dollars is
by this means rendered available for
public uses throughout the year.
whereas heretofore it has been of
value only during small part of the
time. The social effect of this
changers not easy to measure. Un-
der proper regulations the schools
can be used for neighborhood meet
ings, for lectures and such other pur-
poses as conduce to the public well
fare. For the first time in its his
tory the District will have the full
benefit of plant primarily designed
for public education, but previously
used only for the mere classroom
exercises of the younger members Of
the community.

The Printing Office Force.

Public Printer Ford is endeavor-
ing to minimize the reduction of
force at the government printing Of
fce incidental to the adjournment of
Congress, and to the extent that he is
able to lessen the dismissals and fur
loughs the people of Washington will
be grateful. This is not an indus
trial city and it is not subjected to
the occasional fluctuations of en-
ployment incidental to trade condi-
tions such as affect other eommuni-
ties. so that it adjusts to the basis
of fairly stable employment. Con-
gress has been in session SO long, al
most continuously for two years and
a half-in fact, with but few inter-
ruptions for the past five years-that
there have been only slight shifts in
the printing Office force incidental to
adjournments and recesses. The pub
lie printers present hope is SO to
manage the force at the printing Of
fce that he can avoid the wholesale
changes that would ordinarily result
from adjournment for the long re-
cess of Congress.

| Treasury, and more eminent in bott
the political and the financial world:
| than Mr.. Foster, offered, and spoiled
the Foster program. But Ohio go
the nomination. Gen. Garfield car
! ried off the honor.
On the democratic side George
Hoadly, James Campbell and Judsor
Harmon all expected the Buckeye
governorship to prove a stepping stone
to the presidency, but all were dis
appointed. The Harmon candidac.
at Baltimore in 1912 was based or
the fact that he had won the chic
prize at home, and on the assertion
that his nomination to the presiden-
cy would make Ohio safe for the
democrats that year.
After wabbling for time, Ohio
last fall wabbled back into the re-
publican fold, and the republicans Of
the state are making much of their
victory as respects next years ma
tional contest. They are offering
four names for consideration-that
of Gov. Willis, that of Senator-elect
Harding, that of Senator Burton and
that of former Ambassador Herrick
The vote of the state will be made
certain, they think, with an Ohio
candidate.
But there are others. New York
has a governor she may want con-
sidered. Massachusetts, has a sena-
tor under discussion. Illinois is fur
nishing the House minority with its
leader, and may appear at the repub-
1ican national convention asking his
nomination to the presidency, while
the republicans of Indiana still hold
Mr.. Fairbanks in the highest esteem
And is not the Globe-Democrat
aware that Missouri has very like
ly man in Gov. Hadley, one of whose
claims to consideration is the fact
that he was once governor of that
state and made reputation in the Of
fee?
And there are still others. Avail
able men may be found in many of
the forty-eight states. Ohio's dis
tinction at this time is that she. Of
fers four-a record.

The Retirement of Minister Pezet

Washington regrets that the Peru
vian government has recalled, for
important duties at the capital, its
minister to the United States, Mr..
Alfonso Washington Pezet. He has
been an exceptionally effective factor
in the development of substantial
friendship between the North Amer
lean and Latin American peoples,
and it's to be hoped that the condi-
tions may be such as to permit his
early return to the United States
from the country which he has so
ably represented for many years, in
various consular and diplomatic ca
pacities. Mr.. Pezet will leave here
with the warm regard of the Ameri-
can people, who appreciate his serv-
ices in the effort to create a closer
understanding between the two con-
tinents.

Ohio and the Presidency.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat
seeks light:
People in other states are still
slow to see why election to the gov
ernorship of Ohio should always and
pre-eminently fit man for the
presidency. Isn't the Ohio presump-
ton little monopolistic? There are
forty-eight states"
Consider the record, and be wise.
For many years Ohio has been an
important state in the calculations OF
both parties. Some notable battles
with national bearings have been
fought in its gubernatorial campaigns
Men have sought the Office of gov
ernor with the presidency in view
and two reached both goals-Goy
Hayes and Gov. Mckinley.
In 1879 Charles Foster, a sound
money republican. ran for governor
against Gen. Ewing, a greenbaek
democrat, and defeated him. Expec-
tation was that Mr.. Fosters success
would make him his party's candi-
date for President the next year. But

Business and the Tariff.

Fridays meeting of business men
in New York looking to the return
of the republican party to power is
noteworthy as symptom. AS mat
tiers stand, business is disgruntled
toward the democracy. No one
branch of business, but all branches.
Manufacturing has in mind the I'm
derwood tariff, which has crippled or
closed up many plants. Banking is
not sure about the new currency
law, which has yet to prove itself.
Corporations are puzzled about the
new trust enactments, which, in the
hands of lawyers entirely great, may
mean much or nothing. For one or
all of these reasons depression is al
most unprecedented, and, naturally,
business men are figuring on a
change, and organizing to speed the
day.
A word about the tariff. Business
interests, as always, want protee-
ton. They have prohted by it, and
desire the restoration of that pol
icy. They will get it if, and when,
the party of protection resumes full
control of the government.
But, while there will be return to
that policy specifically, there will
not, because there cannot, be re-
turn to any past particular express
sion OF it. That is to say, protection,
as expressed in a law for this time
or any time soon. could not follow
the lines of the Mckinley law, the
Dingiey law, or the Payne law. The
conditions under which and for which
those measures were shaped do not
now exist, and will not be restored.
If the republican party is again COM
missioned to write tariff law it
must make it conform to the existing
conditions.
And. the protection must be con-
servative and symmetrical. A Chi
nese wall is not necessary anywhere
now. Many of our industries have
fourished to that extent they do not
require the rates they needed at the
start, and some can do without any
protection at alt This was true four
teen years ago, as Mr.. Mckinley, in
what proved to be his last public
speech, pointed out at Buffalo.
1t is fact, not often recalled these
days, that neither the Mckinley law,
the Dingley law, nor the Payne law
was altogether to the liking of the
man whose name it bore Neither of
the three men was a Chinese waller,
though all three were so described
by their opponents. They were hard
and-fast protectionists, but knew the
subject so thoroughly they wanted,
and tried to get, tariff as fair to
the consumer as to the producer,
rating both as American citizens de-
serving of truly national tariff pol
icy. And the next republican leader
of tariff revision should guide by
them, and try to have more than
their luck in impressing himself on
his measure.

tail or the soap box, if necessary, and
to expound in little towns and big the
policies to which they are commit
ted.
As a matter of fact, the talker in
our politics must be talker indeed
He is in great request. He must
know, or assume to know, many
things. The political public is very
much swayed by confidence and fiu-
eney. 1t likes to be entertained, and
that is why our best stump speakers
are the most popular travellers OF the
chautauqua circuits.
And speaking of those circuits, the
travel over them will soon begin. The
season ought to be good for the po-
litico-entertainers. They were out
of the talking in 1913 and again last
year, and should enjoy the reception
this year of old favorites returned.
Topics will be in plenty. With the
world upside down, and everybody
curious about what it will look like
when it rights itself, the orator may
soar and soar and yet not weary his
audience.
And no sooner will the chautauqua
season close than the political sea-
son will reopen. If Congress should
not meet in extra session in October
it is bound to meet in regular ses-
sion in December. and then will be-
gin another talkfest on Capitol Hill,
to last FIVE or six months. And after
that will come the presidential cam
paign, when every man with tongue
in his head will be expected to wag
it more or less in favor of the party
to which he belongs.
Lung power and tongue power are
very valuable in all fields. but are es-
pecially priced in the political field.

THE RESERVE LEGION.
is the opinion

From the Syracuse Herald
The colonel is very enthusiastic now
about that new American Legion. But
suppose, when it gets around to elect
a commander-in-c chief. somebody whose
initials aren't T. r. should be chosen
From the Knoxville Sentinel.
The colonel has offered to Congress
not to the administration. mind you
the services of himself and four sons
to organize and equip a division OF
cavalry for the defense Of the country.
Congress-rot the President-now has
opportunity to even up scores with
England and Germany.
From the Rochester Post-Express.
Promoters of the army reserve are
more modest than the Secretary of
state in their plans. They only pro-
pose q quarter Of a million of men by
sun up.
