WATSON TELLS EDITORS
THEIR IMPORTANT PART
IN BUILDING CHARACTER

sided over the public meeting, held in
the Commercial club rooms.
Urges Support by Owners.
Mr.. Leeds urged that all Indiana
newspaper publishers give their &C
tive support in promoting the expans-
ion of the City Editors Association.
He declared the publishers as well as
their city editors would profit through
such an organization
This is an era of cooperative com
potion" said Mr.. Leeds, land in the
newspaper business high efficiency is
to be obtained through the medium of
organizations for various classes of
newspaper workers. The gathering
and distribution of news is soon to be
recognized as one of the professions
and the newspapers mission is all the
better served by the promotion of
the efficiency Of the men who gather
and distribute the news. The broad
ening influences of such an organiza-
ton as the Indiana City Editors AS
ISOLATION cannot help but add to the
efficiency of it's members"
Agrees With Watson.
Mr. Leeds agreed with Mr. Watson
that the newspaper is to be regarded
not entirely the individual property of
its owner; that it was, in fact, quasi
public utility and, consequently must
serve its public with honest, untainted
and uncolored news, the owner con-
tenting himself to reflect his own
opinions only through the medium of
his editorial columns.
VIII w. Keller, prosecuting attor-
ney and, at one time, city editor of
The Palladium, spoke entertainingly
of his experiences in the newspaper
game" and concluded with a plea for
straight, unbiased and unprecedented
presentation of news happenings. eff
the newspaper needs to attack institu-
tons, government or individuals in
defense Of the public good let this be
done through the editorial columns.
Keep the editorial out of the news
columns" he said.
James Watson Speaks.
Military preparedness, industrial
preparedness and moral preparedness
these, Mr.. Watson declared, were
the nations paramount needs Above
all else, Watson asserted the Ameri-
can people now stand in need of moral
preparedness. That task he intrusted.
to the American newspapers. Before
people must be great, and no people
become great without character" he
said. THE work of character build

CLASSES SOCIALIST
PEOPLE AS MART YRS

''The Socialists of today are just as
great martyrs as the prosecuted Chris
tons of DID," declared the Rev Mr..
Garrison, celebrated colored Socialist
speaker when he addressed large
street meeting at the corner of Sixth
and Main streets Saturday night.
THE men in power in the Biblical
times crucified Christ and prosecuted
the believers. The capitalists of to-
day make fun Of and hinder in every
way possible the men whose true con-
victions lead them to strive for an
equalization of rights.
Lincoln freed the bodies of the
negroes but their minds are yet to be
freed. There is discrimination against
the colored men everywhere. This is
especially true in the south.
THE only way that the colored
people ever hope to overcome this
unfair prejudice is by uniting with the
poor white people in the discreet use
Of the ballot.

To a score of Indiana city editors.
representing publications in various
parts of the state, James E. Watson,
of Rushville. delivered highly inter
esting and instructive address at the
meeting of the Indiana City Editors
association, Sunday afternoon. in this
city.
Mr.. Watson spoke of the vastly i'm.
portant part the American press plays
in the broadening of the American
peoples character, the quickening of
the national conscience and the better
ment of the republics government He
said the American press was already
responding splendidly to the demands
made upon it, but declared there was
still Improvement to be made before
all the ideals established for a free
press in a democracy had been
achieved.
Speaks In Serious Vein.
The city editor is the handspring
OF the news organization Of any news
paper and no class Of newspaper
workers strives harder to achieve the
ideals of their profession than these
hard.worked and highly efficient men.
Consequently Mr. Watson's address
made a most impressive appeal to
them.
He spoke in a most serious vein. In
fact, he could have handled his sub
ject in no other manner as it related
to the important work the American
newspapers have to perform in the
mighty movement for a better
America, a better people, better
government nation which is to be
strong enough. in arms, morals, char
acter and industry. to take its right
full place in world affairs and, if neces-
sary, hold it against the world.
Take Dinner at Cliff Dale.
Proceeding the associations public
meeting Sunday afternoon, the visiting
city editors and Mr.. Watson were the
guests of The Palladium at an excel
blent chicken dinner, served at the
kCliff Dale Automobile club, near New

Favors Party Papers.
On the ground that the American
republic must always be government
by political parties Watson opposed
what he termed the modern tendency
toward non partisan, Independent jour-
nalism. He also protested against
editorialized news columns. he SAID
the American masses, if they are to
participate intelligently In the govern
ment of the republic, must have their
newspapers present to them all OF the
news free from bias and prejudice
Watson insisted that the newspapers
We're quasi-public utilities and that no
owner Of a newspaper could regard
his property as an entirely individual
possession.

Today's election aftermath found a
majority of Madison and Lake county
citizens i'm a position to congratulate
themselves. Yesterdays vote in the
city and district clearly indicated
that candidates favored locally for
state offices we're elected, and that
two leading state issues, prohibition
and women's suffrage. which were
supported by a majority of Madison
voters, carried by a substantial ma
jority.
There was a good sized vote both
in the city and rural districts, but
only in a few instances did the mum
Der OF ballots cast closely approach
the registration. In Madison the
vote ran 101 under the number of
names contained in the registration
books, Notwithstanding that some
100 votes were sworn in in the four
wards. One country precinct with a
normal vote of about $50 was forty
one votes short of the number of
qualified electors.
Every republican on the Lake
county ticket was elected by a safe
majority. South Dakota lined up in
the Hughes column. Congressman
Dillon, candidate for ereelection on
the republican ticket, obtained a
large plurality here. and Peter Nor
beck, for governor, and other repub-
.lican candidates for leading state Of
fices ran ahead locally.

THREE PERSONS HAVE NARROW
ESCAPE TODAY ON SOUTH
EGAN AVENUE.

While dozens of persons looked on
in horror, a Milwaukee passenger
train this afternoon on South Egan
avenue crashed into an automobile In
which three persons were riding.
While considerable damage was done
to the machine. all three OF the occu-
pants. a woman, a girl and a young
man. escaped without so much as a

Van Rosendale.
The accident occurred at about 8
o'clock. The passenger train was
due to arrive here from the south at
.l:45 o'clock in the afternoon. but
was more than an hour late. The au-
tomobile party were driving from the
south. Miss Van Rosendale, at the
wheel of the auto, evidently did not
see the train until she was almos- up
on the railway track. To those
watching it appeared that she was
at first under the impression that
she could get safely across the track,
and then, just as the front of her car
had crossed the nearest rail. became
excited and killed the engine OF the
machine.
That the three occupants escaped
without serious injury or death was
probably due to the slow rate OF
speed at which the train was running
The car was struck at a spot less than
fifty feet from the passenger depot
platform, on which a number OF per
sons were waiting for the train, and
the engine was brought to a stand
still al the edge of the depot plat
form.
The automobile vas turned com
pletely around. One OF the front
wheels was broken off. the fender,

broken. The machine was showed
