ENGINE OF PUBLIC SERVICE
Newspaper Today Not. as Of Old. the
Mouthpieee Of Any Individual
or Party.

Not 80 many years ago ne"spa-
per was II printing press surrounded
by group Of individuals chiefly con
cerncd In getting their own private
theories or doctrines before their
readers
TOda! the newspaper is an engine
of public service. Its success ilnan-
clally and morally Is measured by
the degree in which IL supports not
party but the people.
Those today who have Twentieth
century ideal of achievement separate
the new spapcr from the individual and
make II first and foremost an organ
Of public service built by the people
for the people. The journal which
most nearly fulfills us highest pur-
pose is that which is indistingulsh-
able in policy from the natural trend
of progress and march of liberty and
free thought.
Political prizes were the aims Of
the old-tine editor. His policies were
based on his own party interests and
he discussed every public question
with feroclty and partisanshlp pro-
pOrtlOnate to the reward he expected
to get out of II.
The establishment Of an institution,
living thing. which represents the
public interest and nothing else-that
should be the ideal of the editor.
II is this Ideal which has made
newspapermen priesthood and has
separated them-soInc of them-from
politics For this age Is not q ma
terialistic age-in spite of opinion to
the contrary Vancouver Sun.

OF Colcridge and "kubla Khan" the
following strange story is told. The
poet had fallen asleep In his chair
after reading the following lines in
Purchas's pilgrimage" Here the

unto: and thus ten miles of fertile
ground were luclosed with II wall"

two hundred lines of beautiful poetry.

out any sensation or consciousness on

insisting that a commission shall he

DISABLED DEMAND FIRST At
1ENTiON

DR.. Salmon of New York, former
colonel in the medical corps testify
ing before a Senate committee, stated
that 400 x-soldiers committed sui
eide in New York state during the
year 1920, declaring that many of
these men would have been alive to-
day had they been given proper at
tention.
Nothing should be permitted to di-
vert attention from giving aid to the
disa bled soldier. He. and not the
well one, is and should be the object
of undivided attention until he has
received relief There is evidence
that this is not yet done although
much has been accomplished. This
same witness stated that last year
1925 x-soldiers applied in New York
City alone for mental treatment and
but 300 could be cared for. When
one reflects a moment, recalls how
these men were sent into the hell OF
the worst war the world ever knew,
into the poison gas, subjected to the
shell shock and forced to endure
conditions calculated to unseat the
reason of man, it is intolerable that
these poor fellows may not have the
treatment they need and which they
have paid for with that which life
holds most dear

The Foch Tribute
l,rha D1Ihlin l -nduGf.

The Fourth of July message Of
Marshal Ferdinand Foch to the
American Nation is far more than Il
sv. IT is the scholarly summing up,
by the worlds greatest living soldier,
of the American effort-the "unparal-
leled effort in every branch Of ma :
tional activity"
The great Frenchman's tribute to
the American Army and the Ameri-
can people has both historical and
military value. In this July of 1921
Marshal Foch looks back to the dark
days of July, 1918. when the Boche
was smashing his way to the Marine
for the second time.
Through the perspective of three
years he sees that dark situation
grow lighter as American troops
poured into the breach and sums 1t
up as:
A prodigious effort of an entire ma :
ton before which the enemy re-
manned astounded and which foiled
all his plans
Three years ago today Marshal
Foch knew that the Germans expect
ed to make Paris within a month.
The Germans expected to be dictat-
ing German peace, and hard peace
il would have been, by September l,
