A MENACE TO JOURNALISM

THE essence OF the mischief propaganda is not its
falsty in any particular case, but its origin. The
essence OF Journalism is It's autonomous expression
OF itself as an interpreter of society. The editor
who is entitled TO confidence, and who alone in the
long run will get it, is he whose every uttcrance
is his own. Neither the accuracy of a journals
news nor the business of its opinions is half as i'm
portant to society as certainty that whatever it
publishes is the result of its own independent out
look on the world in the capacity of a public watch
man. That is its profession; that is its trust.
Unless the American press rescues itself from
this growing tendency to be the mouthpiece of
extra-sanction preparation of news and "accelera-
tons" Of sentiment, and by its own self-contained
enterprise seeks out everything that is importan,
for men to know and presents it as appraised and
interpreted disinterestedly by itself, it will cease to
be the Fourth Estate. Its claim to that distinction
and influence rests on its performance of a public
function, and it will endure the abdication of trus-
teeship and the loaning Of the instruments Of current
intelligence to the irresponsible agents of propa.

MOVING OF THE WATERS IN CHINA

AMIDST the stress and excitement of the last two
years the awakening of one fourth OF the entire
human race seems to have been forgotten. Not
that there is any intention to belittle the significance
OF stirring events in China, but the attention of
Europe has been concentrated on problems nearer
home. When affairs in the Occident are more set
tied. II will be time enough to think about the
Orient. Nevertheless the awakening OF four hun
dred million people is more real than apparent.
The break with the past was begun in 1911. when
the nation overthrow the Manchus and adopted a
republican form of government. Eleven wears
ago, one out Of every four hundred people in the
Umpire received public education: there were forty
two thousand schools and one million students Al
the end of 1910 the proportion had been reduced
20 one in eighty; namely, four million five hundred
thousand pupils in one hundred and thirty.iour
thousands schools.-M. T. T.. Tyan in Contemporary
Review.

Vet, if each steA we took, whether on
a smooth sheet Of ice or on a highly
polished floor, were made with the
body evenly balanced and with the
weight Of the body distributed equally
over the entire foot. we would NOT
slip. The reason We slip at all is IN
cases where We do not place our steps
on these surfaces with tho body FER,
fectly balanced. We do 80 without slip.
ping when we proceed very slowly
and carefully and watch each step.
Why do W not slip on dry walk
We take as many not perfectly
balanced steps when walking on the
ordinary sidewalks as we do Vhen
walking on ice or on polished floors.
We do net slip when thus walking on
dry sidewalks. even though we pay bur
little attention to our steps, because
Of what is called frlcticn. without
friction we could not walk at all.
When we walk on Ice The amount Of
friction between t3c sole Of the ahoa
and the ice Is less than on a dry wait.
Our ability, therefore, to walk on any
kind of surface Is due entirely to the
amount e friction that occurs be-
tween the bottom of the shoe and the
surface which Is being walked upon.

THE GOLDEN RULE

IRON varied interests in nations on two CONT
nents, but in a significant way from the foremost
thinkers OF the business world, comes the oft re-
peated urging that the world adopt the teaching,
OF Christian religion as the guide and basis TOT
postwar reorganization, and that men carry with
them into everyday life and transactions the funda-
mentals OF the Golden Rule. War loosed human pas
sions and made plain the weakness OF men investi-
cations disclosed greed, dishonesty, and stealing
and humanity shows its ugliest features. Much has
been written, much spoken on. this subject. The
condition is unhappy, the need for correction and
cure is plain. 1t is impressive that 500 many men
in varied activities have turned to the Christian
religion as the cure needed, as supplying the guide
to better things.
One Of the great newspapers in London is pre-
senting religious editorials several times each week
to its readers. They set forth vigorous moral phil
osophy for which religion stands. They urge that
men admit in life the doctrine of individual rcspon-
sbility, that they put in practice the teaching OF the
brotherhood OF man. They are as vigorous as are
the sermons heard from any Of The British pulpits,
and there came a quick response of approval from
many readers. The newspaper insists that right
conduct is the great need of the world among men
and nations. The same remedy has been proposed
in this country. Roger Babson has spoken all over
the land, declaring this country did not need legis-
lation so much as it needed religion. The Wall
Street Journal says: More than railway activity
this country needs a revival of piety to clean the
country OF graft, petty and great. The Manufac-
turers' Record says: In the Golden Rule is found
the solution of every business trouble. Tue New
York Herald says: The Bible is the best known
guide to social progress, political progress. and in
dustrial peace. The same ideas have been pro-
nounced over and over by President Harding and
Vice President Coolidge. Theodore Roosevelt pro-
claimed the Golden Rule as the guide in lie for
many yeaTs. no man in the history OF the milton
speaking more forcelully on that subject than he
did. There were those who prophesie> the church
and religion would be harmed by the war and is
