The Editors Creed

number of Times readers who admire the plan
lin which this paper have recently asked for
terse statement of it's policy, not the specific is
sues we champiOn-thOse are apparent to all-but
the broader rules that guide us in our work.
Now that is difficult matter to set down on pa
per. We FEEL these guiding principles strongly
enough but when it comes to defining them and
dissecting them and making word blue prints OF
them that is different.
Perhaps too, it is unnecessary, for another editor
then with Golfers, once wrote what he called 'Ihe
Editors Creed which up feeling better
than could do it ourselves This creed in printed
form has hung beside the dressing table of the
editor Of The Times for several years. Here it is:
''To be hllmbled by the responsibility rather
than exalted by the power of the printed word.
''To seek the truth diligently and write it simply.
'To hold his pen to strict account for intemper-
ance and eXaggeration.
"To Judge no man nor speak i'll of him unless by
doing SO comes greater good.
''To speak plainly about public evils without
fear.
'.To keep an open heart for the needs of those
who toll and ready to the cry of the unfor
tunate.
''To visit scoIn upon those whose power or
wealth is earned by the oppression Of the poor.
'TO expose scheming and hypocrisy in high
places.
''To accept fair criticism with candor and msun-
Outstanding with smile.
''To abate no jot of his convictions, whether to
reader or advertiser for moneys sake.
'To picture the world as God made it, darkened
occasionally by and passion, but frightening
from year to year man deals more justly with
his brother and he sees more frequent and less
broken glimpses of the divine PLAN"

gels day after day and l did not
want him to be disappointed in
his very own son."
Dear little Margaret Ann, | put
my arm about her and drew her
to me In the yielding OF her lit
tie body there was comfort, and
as she put her arms about my
neck and her soft dewly lips met
mine, the first tears that | had
shed since Dicks death came to
my eyes and rolled down my face
and dropped on hers. Her dear
little arms clasped me tighter and
her ready sympathetic tears
mingled with mine.
Dear Aunt Margie, just
think he is the beautifulest baby
in all the world, and | am sure
that Uncle Dick is saying to him
self that no little angel up there
looks half as good as his own
baby down here. And when
Sc w pVu tohi5ht IL just 6Sh
God to tell Uncle Dick that
Dickie's nose will be all right;
that he makes them all like that
at first, so mothers can enjoy
seeing them grow from buttons
into noses. You see, Aunt Mar
gle, I didn't mean to make you.

1T, but now we'll both watch 1t

I just Rugged that darling child
to my heart. I tell you, little
book, l got. from her more COM
fort than anyone, and I resolved
in my heart that I would see that
Dicks boy should grow into
man that would make Dick proud
of him.
I'll tell you what" broke in
the childish voice of little Mar
garet Ann, "I'll just have the
nurse talk to mother over the
phone and she will come over
and make you all we'll. Mother
can do that the best of anybody"
Yes, darling, know she
can,' l answered, thinking how
many times in the long ago my
dear Annie had taken me in her
arms and comforted me, land I'll
tell you what | am going to do.
I'm going to ask your mother il
she and you and baby brother
won't go with me away some-
where next week."
Little Margaret AIMS eyes
danced and she said, II know
mother will go, for | heard her
tell father she was worried about
you being tied up here with that
old ter-ter-termagant.
Say Aunt Margie, I never
saw a termagant. Won't you

Just then Mrs. Trent came in.

Too bad that France hadn't old "Tiger'' Clemen-
'ceau premier year ago. Substantiating his
Rooseveltian declaration, "Czcrnin lied," Clemen-
ceau now causes publication of letter of March
81, 1917 from Emperor Charles Of Austria in which
the latter plainly bids for peace, with restoration
! of Alsace-Lorraine and rehabilitation of Belgium
and Serbia as inducements.
A year ago. Hindenburg was behind his line, Rus
STA wasn't innocuous, Germany was having serious
industrial unrest and Austria grooming with
political and other sorts Of collie Publication at
that time, of offer by Charles to throw down
Bill Hohenzolleln would certainly have caused the
Teutonic autocracy awful intestinal distress, but
the French powers treated the matter strictly
confidential. Publication at this date is, perhaps,
a violation of confidence, but Clemenccau doesn't
care whoOp for anything biting Germany
good and hard. The letter will not now have much
effect, in all likelihood, but Emperor Charles
thinks enough of it to hurry denial over to his
friend and master, Bill.
Emperoring seems to be rascally sort of bust
ness. There was Nicholas Romanoff, fighting
against Germany and secretly trying to sell out to
her. And here's Charles, fighting with Germany
and secretly willing to ditch her.

DICKIE'S NOSE WORRIES
MARGARET ANN

Little Margaret Ann was scru-
tinizing Richard Wayerly III very
carefully and her look was one OF
admiration blended with COM
miseration.
l did not let her know that |
was watching her, but to tell you
the truth, little book, dear little
Margaret Ann was amusing me
more than anyone had done since
the great end and the great be-
ginning in my life.
Her naive joy in my baby and
her absolutely unconscious way
of telling me she was afraid he
would not grow up as pretty" as
her own tiny brother brought the
first smile to my lips since his
birth.
do you really think, Aunt
Margie?' she said hesitatingly.
"Yes dear, what is it,"
DO you really think that God
did not make mistake and take
a button for a pattern instead OF
nose when he stuck on Dick
ie's?" she asked innocently.
