HOPEFUL TALK OF PEACE.

Tho week closes with tho general
strike situation practically unchanged,
but with some hopeful Talk OF peace
negotiations that may be attended
with good results. Efforts are being
made To resume coal mining opera
tions as far as possible. and confer
ence of the executive heads of a large
number of railroads with President
Harding has been called for Tuesday
next, at Washington.
At this conference something should
10 done to bring the disturbed condi-
ton OF railroad business to an end.
President Harding Ia sincerely inter
ested In a resumption of normal con-
dltions, and there Is no doubt tho rail-
road managers arc in like frame of
mind. They are standing by the law,
oven II their employers have refused 70
abide by the decisions of the agency
created by law for determination Of
wages and other elements OF the rail-
road business.
Whether Congress could do come

mooted question, but Congress has not
attempted TO do anything. It has en-.
tirely ignored tho situation. However
the general trend of the peace tail

Eugene V. Debs Is now greatly con-

SO there are Republicans who look
for Balls control of the next state
Convention--which they regard as
very probable--to result as follows;

1t is difficult to interpret In exact

by the suggestion that the President
might be impeached should he under
take TO do this, but that his faith in
public opinion Is so strong that he
would take the risk basing his act. of
course. on the understanding that he
Is the guardian of the public welfare.
We do not know that there is any
precedent for this informally contem-
plated act in times of peace but in
times Of war precedents can be found
in abundance. During the great war
the Chief Executive undertook sue
cessfully a great many things of an
arbitrary character and without def
mite authority in law to public ad-
vantage, and was supported by public
opinion. This seizure OF power in be-
half of the public welfare extended to
the States, and in many instances to
the towns. The city of New Haven
created without legal sanction a COM
mission charged with the saving OF
fuel. and orders were issued and obey
cd which tnterefered directly with pri-
vate interests. 1t was annoying ano
irritating, but 1t was recognized to be

PUBLISHER ADVOCATES
PENALTY FOR BREACH
OF NEWSPAPER CODE
(By Associated Press,

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct 26.-De-
claring that the newspaper men OF the
country should conform to a code of
ethics and that violation OF this code
should bring punishment similar to
that melted out to lawyers and physi-
clans who violate the codes Of their
professions" E. J. Getaway, publisher
of the Port Huron. Michigan, Times
Herald, told the annual meeting of the
University Press Club of Michigan, of
which he is president that journalists
must accept professional responsible
ties If they are to be looked upon as
professional men.
Newspaper men are placed along
side the three learned professions of
theology, medicine and law, Mr. OF
taway said. IF we are to accept our
position in society as profession we
must accept the responsibility that
goes with it.
Assume Safe Attitude
Protected by the very first amend
ment to the federal constitution we
have assumed to be, as a profession,
above all law, and much above the ne
cessity of any systematic enclosure in
the way of statement of standards or
code of ethics by which the profession
might be governed.
Society win demand Of US more and
more that we establish such standards
of education and practice, especially
since we demand them of law, medi-
cine and all other professions.
The Fourth Estate demands ethical
conduct upon the part of everyone else,
but imposes no very definite code Of
ethics upon itself. 1t exposes the
crooked lawyer or the malpracticing
physician without mercy. It palliates
misconduct ON its own part by disor-
ganized silence.
Possibly the day is approaching
when the editorial office must be call !
ed to strict account as one of the learn
ed professions
