PASTOR DEFENDS PRESS
AS FAIR TO THE TRUTH
Criticism by Ministers Usually
Groundless, Unsound and
Untrue, He Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa. December
15.--Criticism of newspapers by min
listers is usually groundless, unsound
and untrue, the Rev. Earl Hoon, pas
tor of st. Paul's NJ. E. Church, Sioux
City, Iowa. declared In an address be-
fore the Ad Club here yesterday.
The criticism" he declared, grows
out of the ignorance of the average
preacher as to what news and adver-
tising are. The average newspaper
man tells the truth. He wants to tell
the truth. It's a matter of getting
the truth to him. Give him the truth
and you will SEQ what's printed. I've
taken reporters into my confidence
times without number and have never
been betrayed"
He urged the church to warm up"
to newspaper men declaring the news
papers reach more men daily than the
churches do in a month. You do not
need TO play to the galleries or to
stage a leg show In your church to
attract attention" he declared "Ren
der service and you will receive
service"

Judge Bartlett's Policy.
Here is Judge Bartlett's pcTsc

Here is Judge Bartletts personal
description CT his policy:
NY policy is. and shall continue
to be. to give the speeder the max
imum penalty allowed by law. Dur
ing my first few weeks on this bench
followed the old system of assess
ing small fines and noticed a good

l then stationed persons here and
there about the courtroom and at the
outer door to listen to the comments
Of speeders who had been fined.
found that no system OF fines
termined on the imposition of jail
sentences. Since I have adopted this
policy the number of speeders brought
before me had been reduced from an
average of 500 a week to seven or
eight. What we need throughout
America is a more severe enforcement
of existing traffic laws and greater
publicity of such action by the courts.
I might send 100 speeders TO Jail in
one day and IL the newspapers did not
print the fact the lesson would be lost
TO all but the 100.
When the daily press and the NOV
ing pictures report this event, the les
son goes homes to thousands of poten-
tial vfolatorS who are restrained from

The bureau is comprised OF eightc.n n

An interesting innovation in swe-
dish farming, also discussed at this

electric motor served by a power ca
bile, This new machine carries q
twelve foot mast and has rotating
drum from which the cable. con-
neeted at the other end TO a power
main. Is unwound as the pillow moves
away across the field, On the re-
turn trip this cable is again wound

istence OF feed lines along the fields
make its use possible.
