ACCURACY OF OUR PRESS
 REPORT

The thirst for knowledge, absolute accurate knowledge, of what is hap pening and what men are doing is al old as humanity. Means for satisfy ing that desire were Inadequate fol centuries and the often repeated cry T want to know" found no satisfac tory response.
 Today that condition has virtually disappeared and almost instant knowl edge of great occurrences throughout the civilized world is at hand, daily under the caption By the Associated Press"
 Readers of the Daily Times perus ing three line bulletin or column article with the words By the Associ ated Press," above it have certain as surance that the statements there made are correct.
 There are good reasons for this as surance. One of the foundation stones of The Associated Press is accuracy Even in the keen competition to be the first to announce an important event this organization never hesi tates to sacrifice speed to accuracy Nothing is guessed at. No matter how probable rumOr may appear Il is classed as rumor until it's accur acy is definitely established When the fact is made certain it is an how strange or improbable it appears.
 A case in point was the lombard ment of Paris by German long dist ance guns. The Associated Press men in the French capital obtained defin ite knowledge that shells and not aerial bombs were doing the deadly work. Military authorities scoffed at the idea of such tremendous range, but the Associated Press flashed across the sea the positive statement that long distance smelling of Paris had begun and the news was read by millions in America before more than few hundred Parisians were aware of the nature of the new terror.
 Rumors oS approaching peace, so widely heralded that they threw the nation into delirium of joyful cele- bration, which for time disrupted business, were classed at their proper value by the Associated Press, which promptly and authoritatively notified the waiting world when the armistice was signed and the hour for the ces- sation of the world war was determ- ined.
 The peculiar formation of the As sociatied Press, a cooperative organi- zation of newspapers allied for eff1c- iency in news gathering and distrib- uting with no financial profit in view, itself makes for accuracy. Over eleven hundred pairs of editorial eyes each day inspect the items carried and do it before they are in type. A thousand
  ment sent forth. Each sentence, each word, is under criticism all the more intense since it comes not from one point alone but from every angle.
 The critics are of different shades of political belief, of economic opinion and of religious thought, and no higher nor more convincing proof of the solid foundation of accuracy which the words By The Associated Press," symbolic can be sought than the fact that even through heated political campaign reported day by day, the statements of the Associated Press go unchallenged. <
 T wont believe 1t until the Asso- ciated Press says so," has become more than g saying; 1t io a maxim among we'll informed readers.

GIVING ROADS
TO employees
IS DANGEROUS
Major T. Hernck Says Civ.
ing Railroads To Them Is
Too Autocratic

Cleveland, o., Aug. 20.-Myron T.
Eierrick of this city, m OF the
executive committee Of the National
Association of Owners of Railroad Sc
curities, declared in a statement to-
day that the turning over of the
vast system Of railroad lines to
the control of the government, and
through the government to the con-
troll Of organized labor. would be a
Ions step toward the establishment IN
this country of an autocratic power
that would imperil the liberties OF
the American people,"
Mr.. Herrick, who was formerly gov
ernor Of Ohio and American ambassa-
dor to France. Is q banker, director
Of the Erie railroad and Of the New
York Life Insurance company:
ment that 1.-The experience of the last
two years with the railroads. as with
the telegraph and telephone lines, Is
ample proof that there is neither eft.
ficiency nor economy in government
control. He said that such control
Inc operation would defeat the pur'
pose for which the railroad brother,
hoods were established. and that II
would involve a huge addition to the
public debt, as the value of the roads
was estimated al $17,000,00 200.
Referring to the agitation by rail
road employees through h officers OF
their organizations in favor of gov
eminent ownership of the roads, MIR
Herrick said:
"This propaganda will not be ia
vorably received by the people of thi:
country. who. as always, must pay thu
bill. The deficit incurred in less thar
two years Of federal operation is al
ready more than $500. 00o. 900. and i
mounting at the rate Of $4,000, 600 {
day in spite Of sharp increases II

freight and passenger rates. Directly
or indirectly. in taxes, freight charges
and increase in the cost of goods, the
burden of that deficit falls on the peo-
measure to the oppressively high
cost OF living. In the face of that
showing. who could con%scientiously
wish to perpetuate governmental con-
troll of the railroads?
ST cannot believe the brotherhoods
have thoroughly considered the con-
sequences that would follow govern
ercise this great power. Their pres
ent propaganda Is wholly at variance
with the character Of their organiza-
tons and with their long and honor
able history"
To add the cost of the railroads to
the governments debt, MI. Herrick
said, would weaken the government
borrowing power, d~epreciate further
government securities, and increase
borrow. He pointed out that the war
had added 10000, 900, 900 to the pub
lie debt in two years, and that the
annual interest charge alone is now
almost equal to tho whole annual ex-
pense OF the national government be-
fore the war. ITO buy the railroads
and double the national debt would
pe CACocOAu6iy u0w 1885, "Au IA. XIV
rick. ut would simply multiply the
principal and interest which the peo-
pie must pay"
Uncertainty In business will not
cease until the railroad problem is
solved asserted Mr.. Herrick. Every
delay means tremendous loss to the
country. All the billions of wealth
owned by the people of the United
States are to go forward or backward
dependent upon the legislation which
is just ahead. A mistake will threaten
the whole financial structure"
Mr.. Herrick said hat he believed
the best plan vet presented for solving
the railroad question was that pre-
scented to congress by h Nationa
Association of Owners of Railroad Sc
curuies. This plan. he said, provide:
for a fixed percentage return to the
roads. and that where a road make:
a profit in excess of 6 per cent the ex
cess shall be divided between the gov
eminent, the employees and the rail
road. In his opinion this plan pro
tected all interests-the public, thu
shippers, employees, and owners.
1.-The time for experiments ha
passed." said Mr.. Herr!ck. 1.-The gov
eminent has followed fads and fancie
far enough. Now let US forget par
tisan politics and devise a practica
plan for the b~usinesslike management
Of our great vehicles Of commerce
giving men of experience and visiol
a chance to exercise their abil
tiles. Radical experimentation is I'm
thinkable."

SAYS FILM BAN
IS POSSIBLE
Seavey Thinks Prohibition
lists May Strike At Movies
Next
BY James Arthur SeAvy, Managing Di.
rector Of Association Opposed to
National Prohibition, in the New
York Times,

Through a voluntary spokesman, in
the person of William Fox. the NOV
ing-picture industry has come out in
the open in favor of prohibition.
What will prohibition do to mo-
ton pictures?" says Mr.. Fox. 1T will
crowd the picture houses; it will call
for the building of better INT finer
theaters: it will increase the number
of theaters because amusement and
recreation, relief from sorrow. worry.
and care are essential. With the ex-
hilaration of liquor gone-and, I be-
lieve, gone forever-the general pub
lie must be provided for"
In this particular. it would appear
that motion picture masnates are
governed by the same motives as the
liquor n1agnates. One is pro and the
other is anti because Of the dollars
and cents hat a wet" or a dry"
nation may bring to them. Neither
thinks much nor cares much about the
| principle of constitutional liberty
which is involved in constitutional
prohibition, and neither will suffer
from insomnia because the tyranny Of
a minority, composed Of zealots and
natural and inherent rights Of free
men in a free republic. But it may
be well for the moving-picture people
to take thought of the morrow
I wonder if it has eve occurred to
Mr.. Fox. and others similarly engaged
that their business may be practically
annihilated by the same fanatics who
have foisted constitutional prohibition
upon the country. These people hope
to destroy, without compensation. all
property rights involved in the liquor
business, they threaten to destroy the
tobacco industry, they go SO far
(through the '..only male member" OF
the w. c.. T. u, DR.. Frederick William
Roman Of the Department Of Econ
omics at Syracuse University as. to
foreshadow the annihilation Of the tea
and coffee industry. They have al
ready brought about a censorship OF
motion picture plays. they tried to
put through, at Albany, a bill prohib-
iting the exhibition of motion pictures
on Sunday. Who will be 81 bold as
to assert that some future. campaign
will not be i~naugurated to wipe ou
the moving picture business? No one
has clairvoyancy sufficiently acute te
foretell to what extremes the tyranny
Of such a. determined minority may
be extended
may add that the Association Op'
posed to National Prohibition holds ne
brief for the saloon, the brewer, OF
the distiller. No one officially con.
nected with the association has any
direct or indirect interest in the liquor
business. Its sole aim and purpose
are to safeguard the constitutional lib
critics and personal rights of the cit
liens of this Republic.

.Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If. you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. MulsiRed cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely ~greaseless). is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly inture
the hair.
Simply moisten you hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinse3 out easily, and emoves every
particle of dust, dirt. dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it line and
silky, bright, fluffy and asy to man
age.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most my drug store. II
is very cheap, and a few unces is
enough to last everyone in the family
for months.
