what he could get from man who
would gamble on the decision Of the
higher court" Driscoll said he signed

PUBLICITY
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE

found out that no man is to be entrusted
with absolute power
Absolutism is as bad for the man him
self as it is for the people under him.
Unlimited power breeds every vice in
the catalogue, II makes a man vain,
incorporate, violent, cruel
The prize monsters of iniquity have
not been the skulking criminals at the
bottom Of society, but the crowned GRIM
inals at the top. Vide Timour, Nero,
Ivan, the Borgias
Law and order are necessary to civil
ization. Democracy is an attempt to Sc
cure law and order without flying TO the
extreme of absolutism.
But voting and representative gov
ernment are not sure cures for tyranny.
Shrewd schemers can manipulate dumas
and make puppets Of legislators. Often
the liberties of the people have been as
sassinated under the mask of the repub-
lie as in Rome, Florence and Mexico.
Not infrequently in the United States
have there existed conditions under
which the people were cheated ruled,
and managed by combinations Of GRIM
inal wealth and crafty politicians.
The one thing that tyranny cannot
stand against is publicity.
The palladium of democracy is not the
ballot box but the newspaper
1t is not the voter, it is the reporter,
the evil worker fears
There are some necessary annoyances
implied in publicity, and sometimes in
justice is wrought, but these are far outL
weighed by the benefits. Nothing hu-
man is perfect. But for every good man
hurt by vicious prying or slander a hun
dred scoundrels are held in leash by the
fear Of light
The real and efficient check upon the
trust is not the Sherman law, nor any
sort Of law, but publicity
Every concern that offers securities
for public sale ought to be compelled to
do all business in the public eye The
crimes of trusts need the same secrecy
that burglars require.
It is in the darkness of secret councils
that a New Haven or a Rock Island rail-
road is looted One vigorous, fearless,
watchdog newspaper can prevent what
not all the prosecuting attorneys and
courts can remedy.
Turn on the light One electric street
lamp is better than five policemen. One
newspaper such as The Detroit Times
can put the fear of God into the hearts
of the food poisoners better than no end
of health officers.
The president of the United States has
more direct and indirect power perhaps
than any earthly monarch yet we fear
not he will abuse his privilege, and we
know he will walk carefully, because
every day, from his rising up TO his ly-
ing down. the trained hounds Of the press
are watching him, the spotlight Of pub
licity unwaveringly plays upon him.
The people of this country are not
afraid Of big business nor Of any sort
of concentration OF power, provided IT
operates in the light.
But of all business that must be done
behind closed doors, and which 1t is not
deemed advisable that the public under
stand. the people are suspicious and IN
tolerant. and Justly so.
The Detroit times., 1916-02-01

We can see John Thompson, whom
they probably called Jack unless he
had red hair, in which event he would
have been known as "Red"-we can see
him with paper bag, with shoe-shining
box in it, thrown over his shoulders,
standing in line for his last editions
We can see him tearing through the
crowded streets to HIS corner. maybe in
the rain or maybe in the bitter cold
without an overcoat, ladened with his
bundle of papers, and we can hear him
crying "Wuxtry' with a dirty face up
turned to the passing crowd.
We can see him finding his way up an
alley at night, possibly, to make his bed
in a dry goods box.
Newsboys have been known to have
those experiences.
Ask some of Detroit's best known and
most successful business men if they
haven't.
Ask United States SENATOR William
Alden Smith if they haven't
We wonder if the Widow Smith DID
get newsboy instead Of a member of
a family known mostly for its age and
wealth.
We wonder if the Widow Smith was
given q fake pedigree, as people some
times are when they buy cats and dogs.
We hope she was, FOR HER SAKE.
That is If she was really looking for a
man to LOVE. HONOR and OBEY.
