Controversy Over Increase Is
Expected to Be Threshed
Out by SoIons.
FRIENDS READY TO FIGHT
Lengthy Discussion May Serve
to Delay the Measure
Further.

When the Senate met at IL this
morning. with the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial bill before 1t, It was
expected the controversy over the
proposed increase in pay for Govern.
ment clerks and employees would be
threshed out before the close of the
day
The legislative bill has been drag
ging along before the Senate for a
week. Numerous items have given
rise to a long debate. and lengthy
discussion today may serve to delay
the bill still further.
Plan Vigorous Fight.
The friends or the clerks are pre-
pared to make a vigorous fight in
their behalf, when the item for In
crease OF pay. as allowed. by the
House, and stricken out by the Senate
Appropriations Committee, is reached.
The situation has not materially
changed with respect to votes from
last week. Little prospect appears
that an increase can be driven
through. II the Senate Democrats
line up behind the Appropriations
Committee the increase cannot be pro-
cured.
Economy Revolution Favored.
Thus far, only two or three Demo-
cratic Senators are in sight who are
going to vote against the recent
Democratic caucus action, in passing
an economy resolution.
The Senate amendment to reduce
the allowance for the Children's Bur-
eau of the Department of Labor was
still pending when the bill was taken
up today. This was discussed at
length Friday. Senators Kenyon,
Lane, and others protested against
Gripping the bureau.

response"
In concluding his report, Mr.. Jones
says:
THE necessity of educating teach
ers to the wisdom of paying larger
dues to their protective organizations
was emphasized. Teachers, II was
stated, are q peculiar species In this
raRpect. More than any other class Of
people they fail to understand that a
few dollars spent In q protective or
ganization may mean thousands OF
dollars TO them In q lifetime, to say
nothing OF less burdensome work and
better conditions in which to work.
Nine AniIIated Unions.
There are at present nine unions
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton Of Teachers. Three outside the
city OF Chicago were represented a.

TO do In connection with their offices.

markabIy well and deserve q vote OF

DEFEND DECORATIONS
Germans Send Memorial Here Call
Ino Il Social Need.

German Ambassador Won Bernstorff
has delivered to the State De
partment a memorial vigorously de-
Tending the Belgian deportations.
Explaining that the criticism of
Germany's action has reached such
proportions that an answer Is essen

Much misery Is ascribed In the

well as to unemployment caused by

The German contention Is that even

One million five hundred and sixty
thousand people in Belgium, the
memorial says, are now dependent on
charity, and the deportations are the
only solution of the problem.

THE NEWSPAPER

Yes, the newspaper is a commercial
institution. II is business propo-
stioa conducted for profit. IL manu-
features a product which il must dis
pose of at "a greater price than II costs
to manufacture. II you want TO look
at it that way, all right. 1t is cor
rect.
But bear in mind also that the fin
ished product is something more than
the printed pages. As it appears, IL
is composed of sheets of paper COW
cred with printers ink. But neither
the paper nor the ink is the newspa-
per.
These characters which are stamp
ed upon the sheets represent the cur
rent events of the day, the editorial
comment and the advertising an
nouncements. But these items of news
and these editorial comments and
these advertisements are not the
newspaper The newspaper is some
thing over and above the paper and
the ink and the characters which the
postman brings you.
Yes, the newspaper is a commercial
institution, and it is well that it is.
Its success depends, therefore, upon
its merit-upon what it does for the
reader or purchaser Of it, The pro-
sperous newspaper is the one most
able to render the best service to the
community. II prospers because peo-
pie have faith in il. 1t prospers be .
cause it is so conducted that the peo-
Pile have faith in it,

gerous proposition If it is successful
il cannot afford to be otherwise than
fair and generous IN its dealings. It
could not run the risk Of losing its
prestige by selling its editorial opiu-
ions, for instance IL could not afford
TO advocate something for the com
munity in which il is printed that
would be injurious to that community
if il is making money in the commu

Only the paper that isn't prospecting
as a commercial proposition is TO be
feared in a community. So it is o
blessed thing that newspaper is
operated for profit and that its profit
comes from its successful operation.
That insures that il is going to be
operated for the benefit of its readers
