READ THIS EDITORIAL

(From the Editor and Publisher)
The charges that the leading news
papers of the country are controlled
by this interest or that, or that most
of them are susceptible of brides if
approached in the right way, are as
old as the newspaper industry. Be-
cause of their influence in the bust
ness, political and social life Of the
nation they have been and always will
be objects of attack. Every blackleg,
swindler or thief who has been shown
up by the press, every hypocrite who
has been unmasked, every criminal
whose record has been published, is
the natural enemy of the newspapers
and industriously circulates charges
of this character.
Politicians whose trickery and sub
serviency to bosses have been made
public by the dailies and country
weeklies take particular delight in
making vicious attacks upon them In
their stump speeches. Authors and
writer's who have failed to succeed or
whose productions have been severely
critized by the press find that they
can attract attention to themselves by
accusing the newspapers Of crimina!
acts of every conceivable nature.
They have no difficulty in obtaining
a hearing among members OF clubs
and other organizations to which
they belong.
There are doubtless among the 2o,-
900 newspapers and magazines pub
lished in the United States few that
are not honest, just as there are men
who are not honest, but the rank and
file are above suspicion. During the
last 25 years not a single newspaper
of standing has been convicted of
bribery Or fraud, although during the
period numerous Investigations have
been made of their editorial and bust
ness relations to the public.
Newspapers are controlled" but
the control is vested in the men who
own them and who have right to
exercise that power. 1t is an axiom
in the world of journalism that no
newspaper can achieve permanent
success that is not devoted unselfsh-
ly to the cause of the community. A
newspaper that is run for the purpose
of manipulating stocks and for the
working" of the public for the bene-
fit of personal interests is soon dis
credited. It's utterances are regard
ed with suspicion; it loses public con-
fidence, and when it loses that it
might as well shut up shop and go
out of business until it repents of its
sins and has sufficient capital to keep
it going long enough to win back
what it has lost.
Newspapers must be honest, must
be fair, must serve the community if
they would become molders of public
opinion and builders of business pros

The training Of myself and the
young Martians was conducted solely
by the women, who not only attend
to the education of the young in the
arts of individual defense and offense,
but are also the artisans who produce
every manufactured article wrought
by the green Martians. In time of
actual warfare they form a part of
the reserves, and when the necessity
arises fight with even greater intel
Iigence and ferocity than the men.
The men are trained In the higher
branches of the art of war; in STRAIT

bodies of troops. They make the laws

each emergency. Customs have been

Accident Added Weight to New York
Traffic PoIicen1an's Order to
Pedestrians.

On a road on Long Island there is
a dangerous spot where five main
roads come together. 1t is said that
more than 100000 automobiles pass
there on Sunday. a stOcky-built lit
tie policeman. known to nearly all New

are continually going like semaphores.

started again. There's a woman driv-

At that very moment. while the po-
liceman's back was turned. the woman
driver became confused. and with
dull PUNK her ear hit the officer
squarely in the back. knocking him
down and skinning his arms and face.
Luckily, he was not run over. His
dignity. though, was terribly upset.
Painfully rising. he brushed himself
off, but said not a word TO the woman.

Yielding to its influence he sinks

Among the prisoners is a young

daughter of the Jeddak, or ruler.

that according to custom she is
doomed to die by torture. He fights
for her and assures her of his SYM
