NEWS FIELD IS DISCUSSED
F. +. Greenlee Tells Where Stories
Nav Be Found,

The subject of Covering the New,
Field" can not be handled by US from
the standpoint of an expert, but even
our limited experience might be the
means of bringing suggestions of value
TO some of you at this conference" said
Mr.. F. f. Greenlee. editor of the Clark
County Courier. kahoka, Mo.
The success of newspaper depends
on its news Ii is the life of the institu-
tion. which fact is most too obvious to
need stating. The dominant mission Of
the country newspaper is TO produce local
news. and that class of news is all We
propose TO discuss
''It is more or less difficult to definite
ly classify many phases of news as they
are closely related and interviewer; also
to discuss them in the order of their i'm
portance. as there is much room for diff
ference Of opinion.
The exchanges can not be over-valued
as a source Of news. Papers from four
counties distant come TO our desk but of
course the most valuable are the nearest
at hand. Even though the principals in
many items may be unknown to Us, doubt.
less they are known TO many of our read
ers. The weddings, the accidents. all the
human interest matter come in for their
full share of our attention.
Mr.. Creenlee said the courthouse was !
the neyer-ending source of valuable news. !
and We never forget the recorder. for his !
records reveal the real estate transfers
and the names of the spirits embarking
IN the sea of matrimony.
He named list of sources of news
which are familiar to the newspaper man.
such as: the lode ees. the Chamber Of Com.
nerce. the Red Gross secretary. the su-
perintendent of schools. the business
Iews of the county. the railroads, the
Farm Bureau. and the weather. All these
lamed Mr. Creenlee said. were of vital
interest to the readers of his paper.

METHODIST'S BUILDING
CAMPAIGN INTENSIFIED
COlumbia's Allotment From Con-
ference $1,5O0,00O Fund to
Be Made Later.

The chief significance of the recent
General Conference Of the Southern
Methodist Church for the Methodist
building program in Columbia is the set
ting aside Of the Sl.500,0OO war-work
fund for use in educational work, accord
ing to the Rev. ]. d. Randolph. He
said that no direct apporiionment OF this
fund had been made for the work in
Columbia but that one probably would be
made later. The conference has already
given 100000 to the local project.
The city campaign has brought in ap-
proximately $4,000. Practically every
member of the congregation has been
canvassed and each has made substan-
tial pledge. Attention will now be
turned TO intensifying the campaign in
the state for sl25,OOO. A meeting of del
egates from the three conferences in Mis-
souri, has been called by Bishop McMur-
ray, the chairman. 1t will be held at
Fayette next Tuesday. Those going
from Columbia are the Rev. J. ID. Ran
dOlph, the Rev. W. l.. lialberstadt and
F F. Stephens.
The Women's Missionary Council of
Missouri has given S66.OOO toward a
fund for the girls dormitory. This will
probably be the first building of the new
plant to be erected in Columbia. Ii is
TO be built on University avenue near
Hit street. Work on it is expected TO
start this fall.

realization" Judge Elbert Fl. Gary, chair
man of the United States Steel Corpora
ton, declared today in his presidential
address before the annual meeting of the
Iron and Steel Institute. at the Hotel
Commodore.
Gary referred to revision OF the tariff
as IAN intermittent disease" and declared
it should not be a political question at
all but that both parties should agree on
principles providing for tariff for joint
revenue and protective purposes, thus re-
moving the question from politics. His
solution then, he said, would be:
There should be a commission of well
paid, highminded, intelligent, competent
and nonpartisan appointees. authorized
TO ascertain and communicate the facts
and figures, and their reports should be
frequent, 50 that. if deemed necessary.
change or amendment to the tariff laws

clared he welcomed fair laws for the reg

were honest and nOnpartisan.
The progress and prosperity of no ma
ton, he said, "can long endure if any
single factor in economic life shall be
favored or punished or ex-
empied.'
Judge Gary eontended. however. that
trade unions and farmers organizations
should be subject to exactly the same
kind of regulation as industrial and COM
mercial organizations.
Gary opposed immediate passage of the

If passed at later date. he expressed
strong approval of the sales tax as the

Miss HoIlenbeck Says Women

Women are successful in cOuntr,
journalism because they are naturally fit
ted for positions in that field Miss Dor
IIolenbeck. of the West Plains Journal
said Yesterday in making the first speecl
on the afternoon program at Jay ii. Nef
Hail.
"All women have inherited nose for
news and want 10 print everything they
know And a woman generally knows ev.

would not divuIge single far, to anoth-
e. of the same sex. will talk his head of

Women are in nearly everything now.
she said. Although the histories of the
past have been composed by man. the
hand oi woman may be instrumental in
making that Of the future.
Women are also successful in country
journalism because they are able 10 adapt
themselves to many and varied details of
the work. Just as good housewife is
able to cook. sew. and do other things of
an equally varied nature in her daily
work. 81 is the woman in country jour
naIism able 10 do the many and varied
things required of her in that field. She
may even have TO set type. She may have
been out 10 cover the death of some i'm
portant citizen just about the time the
paper is going 10 press, and come back
and find that the press-room foreman has
gone, whercIpon she must attend to his

DIR. Scbastio Sampaio. of Rio de janet |
70, spoke on Journalism in South Amer
ica. He characterized journalism as the
most practical expression of progress and |
civilization.
Brazil is the leader of South Ameri-
can journalism he said. The frs
newspaper in South America was pub
l;shed in Brazil, and is only two years
younger than that country, which is now
celebrating its centenary. This paper
was also the first paper published in Lat
in-America. The next oldest paper was
published in Chill.
Although the papers in Brazil have
smaller circulations than those in Buenos
Aires, the latter papers do not cover the
territory that the Brazilian papers do.
Ninety per cent of the population of Ar
gentine live in and around Buenos Aires.
while the population of Brazil is evenly
distributed over the country"
In comparing South American papers
wi h those of the United States. Doctor
Sampaio said that our editorials were
the best not only in this hemisphere but
in the world. He said that they are best
because thy are practical and brief.

WASHINGTON. May 26.-The negro vote
in certain Northern states where Repub
licans are up for election this year. is
giving Republican leaders grave concern
because of the virtually unanimous de.
cision reached by the Senate judiciary
committee that the anti-lynching bill in.
troduced in the House was unconstitu.
tional.
The large negro constituencies posses
sed by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,;
Calder of New York; Frelinghuysen of
New Jersey and France of Maryland, all
candidates for reelection, were sufficient
TO impel the Republican leaders to de.
mand that substitute at least be found
for the measure
When the Senate judiciary committee
met again to consider the situation il
was indicated that this probably would
be done by its Republican members. or
the house bill amended so that it might
the test of constitutionality
if passed and carried to the United
States Supreme Court.
1t was suggested that a substitute
might be provided which would merely
penaize the sheriff of any county in any
state if prisoner were taken from his
custody and lynched, instead of penalz.
Ing the state or county as the house
bill does in clear violation of the four.
zenith amendment, its senatorial critics
contend.
