Pershino's Good Sense

General John ]. Pershing's life
has been military one. He is a
West Point graduate. He is a veter-
an of Indian wars, and of campaigns
in the Philippine Islands. He led
our expedition into Mexico, and was
commander-in-chie of our forces in
the World War. He is now the guild
ing genius of the army. If the trag-
edy of war should overtake the
United States within the near future,
General Pershing would unquestion-
ably influence vastly our policy.
1t would be reasonable to pre-
sumo that his voice would be raised
for the adoption of the strongest
measures on behalf of military pre-
paredness.
General Pershirg spoke recently
at Bear Mountain, New York, to the
National Council of the Boy Scouts
of America. His address was in OPP
position to the introduction of mill
tary training into the Boy Scout
movement. He discouraged the at
tempt of those who would fill the
young minds with the false glamour
of war.
Such speech coming from the
head of our military establishment
might be surprising. But General
Pershing said:
"You are teaching boys to be good
citizens, and any man who is a good
citizen will make a good soldier in
time of peril
Our chief soldiers life has been
devoted to the defense of our coun-
try. His mind is ever working upon
the best methods of protecting the
flag. He could be excused if the in
tenseness Of his concentration on
the subject of national defense had
made him over-zealous for prepared
ness.
But General Pershing seems to
have retained through all his mill
tary career the sane, calm belief that
ours is democracy, not a militar-
ism. His expert view that good citi-
zens will make good soldiers, if per
il threatens, is one which will be
hard to combat-Dearborn Inde-
pendent.

WHAT OUTSTANDING FEATURE?

Already many little "reminiscences
have been published concerning
President Harding, and as time goes
on many others will be brought to
light All these go 70 snow the real
makeup of the man. Just what acts
or features of his life will stand out
more prominent as time goes on is
only a conjecture now. 1t may pc
his part in the disarmament confer
ence, or perhaps his last effort when
he was stricken-that of doing ev-
erything in his power to get this
country into the International Court
which is part of the League of Ma
tions. 1t may be something in con-
nection with the work of his life as
a publisher. Like Franklin perhaps
he would like to have it such, since
he loved the newspaper game.
At one time he submitted code
of ethics to the staff of his own pa
per, the Marion Star. Just what
our purpose here to say, however, we
do believe that the publisher who
would follow them, would never see
his paper degenerate into the yellow
journal class. Here they are:
Remember there are two sides
10 every question. Get both.
@l,f tl0
takes are inevitable, but strive for
accuracy. l would rather have one
story exactly right than a hundred
half wrong.
''Be decent; be fair; be generous.
Boost-don't knock There's good
in everybody. Bring out the good
in everybody and never needlessly
hurt the feelings of anybody.
"In reporting political gather
ing, give the facts; tell the story as
it is. not as you would like to have
it. Treat all parties alike. If there's
any politics to be p1ayeG, we will
play it in our editorial columns.
Treat all rellglous matters rev.
erently.
'If it can possibly be avoided,
never bring ignominy to an innocent
man, woman or child in telling of
the misdeeds or misfortune of rel
ative.
Don't wait to be asked, but do it
without the asking.
Never let a dirty word or sug-
gestive story get into type. l want
this paper so conducted that it can
so into any home without destroying
the innocence of any child"
