THE BIBLE AND THE TIMES,

Not having attained the ripe old age of one hundred years the Herald has no knowledge whatsoever of the emotions that come to those who en- ter the portals of the centuries; but in it's exuberant youth of some forty spect for those wearers of the cloak of centuries. To this end then we pause to congratulate the Hartford Times. During the past week that estimable journal reached the century mark of publication.
 Connecticut may justly feel proud of the Hartford Times. It is one of the reputable journals of the country. During it's entire career it has striven with the one object in view,-Truth. In this it has but held to fundamental tenets of sincere journalism. The homes 1t enters have come to look upon the Times as a purveyor of news that is in no way tainted, of views that are advanced ever for the best interest of the community, the state, and the nation. No matter how great events it recounts it seldom if ever exaggerates. There are no flashes of yellow in it's makeup. The dignity of the older days of journal ism when Samuel Bowles had charge has been safely reposited in the Burr family of which it's present editor is member.
 Charles A. Dana it was who drew the parallel of the Bible and the con-
New Britain herald., 1917-01-06

 scientious Journal. In this he did not consider the Bible as religious 'booh,, but as a manual of utility, of rro-, fessional preparation and professional use of journalist. I41e ir1sttalktAve style of this great work appealed to Dana the journalist. It's devine Am- plicity he initiated in the cofum ms of his daily newspaper. Mgs4 greatest Iews story ever recorded, the CreatiOn of the world,s was written with such a charm of solemnity and with such, 8 lack of sentimentality or af-s lection that Dana said of the Bible, ''"rhere Is perhaps no book which you open. with such fonf1dence and,s lay down witn such Averence." In the newspapli world the Times is hold in an esteem that somewhat ap-, breaches Dana.s description of the greatest book on earth. It is joy to work in closely allied neighbdr- ing field with such | conscientious contemporary.

THE USUAL WAY

Representative William R. Wood of Indiana has made some very sweep ing assertions before the committee Investigating the alleged leak in tho state department, the leak that Is supposed to have furnished Wall Street with an opportunity to glean millions before it became known President Wilson was to send q peace note to the belligerents of Europe. Yet after making these charges the Representative claims now they are not charges.
 There have been some very prom inent names brought out in the first two days of the investigation. There will probably be more as the days speed on. Where the investigation will lead to, no one knows: but 1t is safe to assume, judging from other Investigations of the same sort, that nothing will be accomplished. 1t Is a way Congress has. The scuttle-f1sh has a like propensity for stirring up mud If the same tactics were to obtain in other quarters not immune from prosecution there would be more care handled so carelessly. Tn Congress it Is different Once the opportunity Is given for an investigation, 1t must go on even before the evidence in the case Is collected. The only other place the same thing can be done with impunity Is a small town police court.
 There may be much truth in the charge that leak was operating in the state department and because of this condition the stock dealers of Wall Street took advantage of an in- nocent public. It is undoubtedly true that one man made few millions of dollars just previous to the de- spatching of the Presidents note. This even before the note had been released for publication in the press of the nation. But if the charges already advanced nave no oetter foundation than a letter sent to Rep resentative Wood by person who signed himself "A. Curtis" and who is unknown to Representative Wood or any other member of Congress theE it is time to proceed with caution. The men already named in the scan dal have given unqualified denials to the story as originally promulgated. They profess to know nothing of the given from the White House. Until proven otherwise their words are as good as those who make the accusa- tions
