CRIMES or THE PRESS

Ereathes there the man with soul

all the newspapers, better than
the subs idiZed and incompetent
scoundrels who are doing it now
II so, we have never met MN.
However complete and evident a
failure he may be as Il business
man, citizen, a husband and Il
father, there is one point, on
which the average man viii admit
Of DO doubt whatever-h!s ability
to manage a newspaper 1t must
be admitted that editors invite
some of this criticism by the very
nature CT their calling, which re-
quires them to make comments on
the shortcomings of public men.
Very likely the editor CT The
Marion Star, for example, when he
retires to private life, will he rath
er more lenient in his comments on
harassed executives. Neverthe-
less, We venture to believe that
even the production Lf Il newSpa-
per is a form Of skilled labor, and
no, so easy as il looks.
A more temperate and friendly
critic than most, and one VINO
knows the kindred businesses of
magazine and book publishing a,
first hand, Mr. Herbert S. Houston,
last week complained that the
very volume of news from all the
world offered to readers today is
bringing some disadvantages with
it, We need, he said, not only the
news but the Interpretation of the
news: the interpretive Journalist
should follow the reporting jour
nalist and bring the flood within
the channel of ordered knowledge. !"
Very true. Too much OF the
world is with us. But when the
interpretive journalistic tries 10

somebody will rise up II say that
it is the wrong channel. In re-
cent article in The Dearborn hide

truth and Il good deal Of nonsense,
the point, in so far as there wac
one, seems to have been that there
was too much Interpretation. Let
the reporter stick to reporting.
Certainly everybody who disagrees
with the interpretive reporter will
denounce him as a distortei' of the
news and will call for what are
rather loosely known as the
facts The truth is that most
readers, and certainly most read
ers of the class which is 81 free
with criticism, have only one cri-
terion for the accuracy of news.

The men of benignity, greatness and

Captains of commerce and trade;
Whose mighty ability, strength and

Make US a little afraid;
Who work SO aggressively, talk so

Lose just bit of their thrall
If we can just realize these we

Once were exceedingly small!

If we can just vision the days of

When John Rockefeller
Was learning his speller,
And Henry Ford played with ais

When Ebert H. Gary
Was chuckful Of merry
And innocent infantile prattle;
When William j. Bryan
Would silently lie on
The eiderdown quilt of his crib;
When Gompers wore rompers
And Schwab wore a bib!
When Lodge, the proud senator,
vexed his progenitor,
Wasn't the slipper applied?
Before Mr.. Daugherty reached his

They acted mischievously, suffering

Doubtless, for all taat they did.

When Harding was creeping,
Or Wilson was sleeping,
Wrapped up in an infantile dress:
When Morgan, the banker,
With babish rancor
Would howl all the day, more or

When DENLY and Hoover

For jam or for cookies ad lib
When Gompers wore rompcrs,

ADVENTUREOF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Barton Roberts

The Twins continued their jour-
ney in Mix-Up Land.
But it seemed silly, as Nancy said,
to try to chase a house that kept
jumping around so, as Jack Straw's
did. Just now it was up on top of a
high steeple and kept spinning
around when the wind blew, like a
weather cock.
Il should think it would fall to
pieces" said Nick, "as it's only
made of dominoes stuck together"

but, you see, all four winds keep
blowing on it at once. That's like

"Look down the deep hole in front
of you," answered the voice. "It's a
hill that got turned upside down
when everything else got turned up
side down in Mix-Up Land"
The Twins looked and sure
enough, there was the hole.
"Now look at the very bottom"
said the voice, "and tell me what you
see"
II just see auecr-looking thing"

NOT CONSULTED

! The present legislative session
has been having a great time with
its printing measures. The law
sible for a newspaper to charge
an unfair rate for printing the tax
list. Some newspapers, notably
the league paper lin Kidder county,
took advantage OF the opportunity
to gouge the taxpayers OF that
county. AS Il result, many revis
ions of the newspaper laws were
proposed. The publishers them
selves came forward with a sug
gestion of changes that would cut
down the rates to a fair figure and
do away with the chance to rob
the public. They proposed law
that provided rate considerably
lower than regular commercial
rates. The state senate wrestled
with the question for a consider
able time, and finally passed a law
with one dissenting vote which
corrected the mistakes of the past
and which also satisfied the news
paper publishers. However, when
the senate bill reached the house,
instead OF referring it to the print
ing committee as should have been
done, the speaker. ait the request
of l.. l.. Twichell, of Fargo, re-
ferred it to the state affairs com
mittee Of which Twichell is head.
Mr.. T. then promptly had the bill
killed, and substituted one of hiS
own. His bill cut down the rate
on foreclosure notices about ten
per cent, and raised the price of
commissioners proceedings. Hence,
the result in dollars and cents was
not great. However, it gave
Twichell a chance to show little
brief authority and to give the
newspaper men to understand that
they must consult him with their
bills. His substitute bill then
passed the house, although beth
Yeater and Weisbeck, of Emmons,
voted against it. But Twichell is
the boss of the majority in the
house and he had his way.
But here was where the fun
started. Twichell, by the unfair
action of the speaker of the house.

bill reached the senate the printing
committee very calmly amended
Twichell's bill by removing every
single word after the title "a BILL"
and substituted therefore the very
same bill they had sent to the
house in the first place. In that
shape the bill was messaged back
to the house, and Twichell's COM
mittee then promptly refused to
concur in the amendment. And, as
this is written, nobody has gotten
