The Shystsr Editor.

Newspaper publishers and editors
will not lose sight of the fact that
two noted publishers who took money
secretly from large interests which
they represented, not only injured
themselves but cast an unjust cloud
upon the whole newspaper profess
sion. Thoughtful people will not be
misled. but thoughtless people will
carry in their minds the suspicion
that many other papers are similarly
financed. The fact is that the So
called controlled" press is very lin
tied. No paper published for the adj
vantage Of any special interest can
long conceal the limitations upon it's
freedom of expression. Most people
will readily understand this, and will
not harbor unjust suspicious against
the press in general. However. incl
dents such as those recently exposed
cannot be otherwise than harmful to
the press as a whole, just as the evil
deeds of a shyster lawyer bring the
whole legal profession into more or
less disgrace. 1t is a pity that dis
honorable editors, like dishonorable
lawyers, cannot be disbarred.

some patience in watching and listening
before it was solved. Listen.
Bobby-thats his official John Han
cock-suddenIy took to perching on the
lower rungs OF various chairs about the
room he claims as home. He was Inc
variably found with head toward a sofa
in one corner. He finally one night. in
stead of mounting the perch in his cage,
remained on chair and noisiiy object
ed when picked up and placed in his
cage. This was repeated several nights.
Some unknown attraction existed
around that sofa.
Examination showed evidence of a
mouses nest in the sofa, entrance be-
ing gained where a spring had worn
through the bottom covering. A mouse
had been seen in the daytime on the
stand on which the cage sits. after the
oats, sunflower seeds, canary seeds, sal.
pork and cayenne pepper, mama, crack
ers and ice cream, on which Bobby
deigns to lunch. He had also been seen
around the sofa. but refused absolutely
to have ANYTHING to do with a mouse
trap. although baited with toasted
cheese and other dai-ties.
Suspicious rustliag noises were heard
during the evening around the cage, but
quick glances could detect no sign of
activities on the part of Bobby. whose
head would be seen tucked away under
a wing. Careful watch, however, solved
the mystery. Mr.. Friend Mouse was a
regular caller upon Bobby after the lat
ter had retired, the object being part
Of the lunch. Still more careful watch
disclosed that Brother Mouse was play
ing all kinds of running about antics ler
the entertainment of his little feathe re
friend. who would sit for hours, per-
haps, on the c..air rung, silently watch
ing the fun.
Absolutely no sign has been seen of
anything but the greatest friendship be-
tween the two-and that has been very
strong.
Bobby's owner is now expecting to see
the mouse go up no the cage to sieep
with him. Who knows?

The eusinsss Situation.

A most gratifying soundness and
stability OF American business is
shown in the reports just issued COW
ering the past nine months. The
war boom has been tremendous in
scope and has caused more or less
apprehension at times as to its prob
able continuation. II now seems as
sured that with the enormous de-
mandsicreated by war conditions and
the almost absolute inability of Euro
pean countries to take care even of
their own needs, America must sup
ply for years TO come the deficiency.

A Better Way than ReprisaI
tFrom the Hartford Courant. }


It has been suggested that "reprsals
In kind" be made for the wanton burn
ing Of French and Belgian cities and the
destruction of property by the retreat
ing Germans. But perhaps compulsory
restitution Is better than reprisai. When
the time comes. cities in Germany might
be occupied by Allied forces until the
wilful damage done by the Germans is
paid for. Full restitution is impossible
Some OF the things that have been de-
stroyed cannot be restored or properly
paid for, and Fome of the destruction
may fairly be charged to the necessary
wastage Of war. but the cost Of restora-
ton OF the burned cities and the lands
laid waste can be estimated and the
amount can be assessed upon the cities
Of Germany and these cities can be hell
in trust. as it were. by the armies until
the assessments are paid.
This course would be neither barbar.
Gus nor unjust. 1t destroys nothing and
wastes nothing. II simply changes tina
