The eyes of the educational world long have been turned toward moving
pictures, particularly for the grades, but heretofore pictures have not been
prepared under the direction of competent educators. The Society for
Visual Education disclaims any intention of entertainment but, believing the
quickest path to the brain is through the eye, will use films to multiply the
power of thorough, accurate and quick observation.

WHY NOT BE SPECIFIC?

1t is so easy to make sweeping charges against
persons institutions and sometimes difficult to
make specific accusatons-and prove them.
John Morris, master of the Colorado State
Grange, made interesting statements at a
luncheon in Denver Friday Among them were the
following:
LET us have a press that will give the true
facts of the condition as it now exists in this
state and in other states. That is the first
start--a true press that will give the true
facts of conditions they exist First want
to say this right here, l know you won't agree
with me, but it don't make any difference
When l make up my mind l am going to say
just what l think and l don't care who it
hits.
1.-The Associated Press today, gentlemen,
should be a public utility--a public utility
and until the Associated Press of America is
public utility, we will not have journalistic
freedom political freedom nor industrial free
dom"
Morris gives us to understand that he does not be-
lieve that have "a true press now, and Mat
he thinks The Associated Press is not now "a pub
lie utility"
Mr. Morris charges are serious. Without "a
true press" this country is in serious danger. Sub
sdized, prejudiced newspapers are the hand
madens of tyranny
AS far as The Associated Press is concerned,
we happen to know that it eXerts the utmost ef-
forts give the public the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth. So anxious is it to be
impartial in the presentation OF the news, that it
occasionally sways backward and omits some bit

I do not mind the man who brags about his
kth and kin,
Although l think his family was good to take
him in;
l do not mind the braggart who procaims his

For boastful parents I have found the finest

But oh, protect from the man who swells
his chest TO tell
How some else has failed where he'd have
really done it we'll.
I can abide the man who boasts little of his
skill,
Though silence on that point l think would
grace him better STILL
With patience will hear the man who speaks
with honest pride
OF what he gives to charity, if truth is on his
side
But l confess / try to shun the man, whoe err

Who claims that no one else on earth knows
quite much as he
IT is natural trait to brag, all do it more

A COMMON CAUSE.

1t has been minated in of the republican
papers of the that the Journal political
advantage in the failure of the Mechem admnistra-
that it therefore wishes i'll toward the adminstra-
ton.
Nothing could be further from the truth Not
one word has appeared in the journal since the
election which could, by the widest stretch of the
imagination, be construed into desire to handicap
irritate the regime.
Quite the reverse is true. Our interest is in the
reforms and we are altogether willing and anxious
to uphold the hands of any who will attempt
10 correct the evils of which complain.
Governor Mechem has signified his intention to
redeem every platform pledge. The Journal accepts
these declarations at par and win do all that it
can, through publicity, to aid Governor Mechem to
succeed in his laudabe purposes.
We are not in the least anxious for the oppor-
tunity to say 1--WE told you So" On the contrary
we greatly desire to be able to say that We're
rnised in our appraisal of Governor Mechems
force and intentions We prepared to deal
in absolute justice with the administration.
Everything is lin the lap of the gods The
future must determine the extent to which we
will be able to support the policies of Governor
Mechem. We feel confident, however, that his
present purposes worthy.
Not one word of criticism will be uttered by
the Journal for the purpose of embarrassing Judge
Mechem in any effort to aid the people.
In all such efforts he will find willing sup
porter. Under these conditions we would have a
common cause.

Gladly lven up its stories, but which also might be
misinterpreted in quarters being "edi-
toriaL'-that is, expressing opinion the
facts, rather than combining the story to the bare
news. Every man in the vast organization of The
Associated Press is thoroughly impressed with the
importance of strict adherence to the TRUTH "let
the chips fall where they may" We have direct
knowledge of this
Mr.. Morris remarks about "a true press are
too general to be noticed, There all kinds Of
newspapers in this country-all of them going
make up that intangible thing known "the
press" Some admittedly yellow but most of
them try to print the truth they it. If
they don't, there are always competitors ready to
point out their delinquences
When confronted by blanket indictment even
the most hardened criminal has the right to de-
mand bill of particulars, that is, a precise
when, and where, and how he coumitted
the offense charged. Surely, the press of the
United States has the right to demand that Mr.
Morris state clearly just what tho facts are that
have caused his grievance against the newspapers
of the country and against the greatest newsgath-
ering association in the world
If the need for reform is as great as Mr. Morris
says it is then it is his patriotic duty to point
out exactly where the deficiencies lie. Only so
can the press of the country correct them.

A WISE CHOICE.

The appointment OF General Enrique Estrada as
secretary of and marine in the Mexican cab
met is fortunate General Estrada is
generally recognized as one Of the abest military
men in the southern republic, and he has been
particularly careful to keep out of politics, His
work in clearing the western coast of bandits last
summer noteworthy, and very probably re-
sponsibe for his appointment to this important
post in the Mexican government.
General Benjamin G.. Hill, whose recent death
created the vacancy in the ministry OF and
marine, though a strong leader, was sometimes too
hasty and overbearing in his attitude 1t is re-
ported that General Obregon, the new president,
occasion at least had to his influence
to prevent Hill from venting his wrath some
enemies who happened to be in the capital at the
same time that Hill was there. At the same time,
Hin's loyalty to the revolution was beyond
question, and he undoubtedly fearless and
resourceful soldier.

j. 8. ASKED To
SAVE STARVING
PEOPLE ABROAD

New York. Dec, 19.-Former
Ambassador Henry Morgenthau
has issued an appeal for funds for
Near East relief, as follows
America won the admiration
and gratitude of the people of the
Near East by its disinterested phil
anthropy during the past four
years. Peace and order have not
been restored. These people are
still helpless. Their land has again
been the battle ground of contend
ing forces Their efforts to main
tain Independence have practically
failed owing to the superior
strength of their neighbors.
Large numbers Of refugees
have been disposed of their tenn
porary homes. Recent cables state
that the roads leading to various
places of safety are crowded with
refugees A hard winter has be-
gun. Snow is knee deep in many
places. These helpless refugees
are again thrown on our mercy.
Unless we heed their cry they will
perish this winter by thousands.
The situation today is worse
than it was last year.
Near East relief is the only or
ganization whose funds are used
for this work. Hundreds of thou
sands of these people are living to-
day who would have persisted had
it not been for American relief.
Hundreds of orphans are totally
dependent upon Near East relief
for the simplest necessities of life.
They must not now be left to
perish after being rescued by us.
No matter where these people
are or which faction claims the
right to govern them, the refugees
are homeless and their faces are
turned toward us in despair and
expectancy. There will be no sea-
son of rejoicing for them if we
fail They arc the "Tiny Tins" of
the holiday season.
"Our organization wants to be
the good fairy that will help them.
I implore the public to read again
Dickens Christmas carol, absorb
its spirit and then select Near East
relief as their messenger of mercy
to these thousands of "Tiny Tins"

KIDNAPPING OF RICH
JEWS CONTINUES AND
POLICE ARE PUZZLED

Budapest, Dec. 19.-Mysterious
kidnapping of rich Jews continues
here and the police seem unable
to end 1t or to detect the criminals.
Recently three wine merchants
who had gone to the country dis
aprcared. The police followed
their tracks to the lake Halaton,
where the water washed ashore a
boat, in which the hats of the mer-
chants were found. All further
trace was lost and their fate Still
unknown, although there is every
indication of murder.
The case of Jacob Reissman, a
rich piano manufacturer, belongs
to the same category. Reissman
was carried away from his home
in Budapest by three men, who
pretended to be detectives of the
military police. Reissman vanish
ed and with him the contents of
his safe. 1t is considered certain
that the unfortunate manufac-
turer was robbed and killed al
though neither the perpetrators
nor the body of the victim were
found,
