Withholding News
From Publication.

A man pertinently asks us. if the
case about Mr. So-and-So was printed
why we didn't print the case of Mr.,
What's 4His-Name happening about
the same time.
Our answer is that So-and-So's case
was given us by the authority in
charge of the case. Mr.. What's-His-
Names case was withheld. The re-
porter knew nothing of it until sew
eral weeks after it happened.
Our critic is right when he says
that one man is as good as another
and that either or both items should
be printed or neither. The common
mans howl that he is given publicity
while the guy with pull gets the soft
pedal is right and justified.
People giving out news should give
all or none of it. The decision as to
what should be printed and how rests
in the newspaper office and nowhere
else Then if we err in handling the
case we are entitled to and will take
all the censure.

Sensible Words and
BTaYpiY SDOken.

This years County Board will have
to wrestle with the problem Of regu-
lating dance halls. A dance hall
properly conducted affords amuse-
ment to a great number of people and
should be given careful consideration
by the board.
We believe in their strict regu,a-
ton, and do not believe they should
be legislated out of existence. Moon
shine has become the curse of the pub
lie dance, as we'll as other public
gatherings and our idea is that if this
evil was given proper attention by the
officers who have taken an oath to
support the constitution and enforce
the laws, then the dance hall problem
would be 80 per cent settled. Do not
permit dust to be thrown in your
eyes, gentlemen, the real moral issue
is the moonshine Enthusiastically

EDUCATIONAL
BUSINESS EDUCATION
NEEDED BY YOUNG MEN
AND WOMEN T0DA

Should you not give some thought
in preparing yourself for the duties OF
business life? If you have business
education you have something that
every line of business in the world
wants and will pay for. 1t is time
that the young people and their par
ents made plans for the future. Many
students spend thirteen years in thu
public schools and then have nothing
that the world needs or will pay for.
Should not a few months be spent III
getting something you can use, that
will give you good positions, good
money, and promotion. There is no
form of education that has made good
in such degree as business training.
The farmer needs it, the high school
graduate needs it, the student who
quit high school needs it, the eighth
grader needs it if he has quit school,
the clerk working for small wages
needs it. Don't think you are too old.
Term begins November 5, 6, Z. Send
for free catalog. 1t will show you the
short, sure way to a good position.

News Comes Before Advertising;
Plans For More Equipment.

The Herald has a great demand Cor
space and the problem is to handle all
the news and still have room for the
advertising. When 1t comes to j
choice between news and advertising
we leave cut advertising for which we
get paid to run news for which we get
the confidence and good will Of the
subscriber People who do not see
why we do this do not see that the
subscriber is the golden egg Of the
newspaper. without big circulation
the Herald would not be a good ad-
ynrtising medium. Put on extra pages
this can be done but is not always
feasible nor easy a few hours before
going to press. We could work as and
IL hour stretches but we are getting
old now and don't care enough for the
money in proportion to the strain on
vitality. The real answer is that the
Herald has outgrown its equipment
and needs a larger and better press.
This will be installed as soon as GER
tain other details are ironed out.

= i = y * y

Luke Webb died in the hospital a.

was passed on the farm, but later he
came to town, and for several years
preceding his death was employed in
the r. NJ Hoskins furniture store,
where his faithfulness in the per-
Torrance of his duties and uniform
courtesy made him a general favorile
with the patrons of the store. AS a
citizen he took a deep interestsin ali
the affairs of the city and the country,
and was ready to engage in friendly
discussion on all the topics of the day.
An active, energetic man, he was on

Marks Double Value
When Sold as PAPER.

The German mark has been grad
ually run out of existence. This was
done deliberately and as means OF
going far enough down the hill by
reputation before Germany could
start back to sound finance. A news
dispatch says:
"LondOn-The National Bank Of
Belgium has just sold 1862 tons of Ger
man marks as waste paper, according
to a Brussels dispatch to The Daily
Express.
Acquiring the money in business
transactions with Germany, the bank
found that the stacks of marks had
outgrown all safes, and would need a
new building to house them.
The offer of junk dealer who ac-
copied the marks at usual waste paper
rates was 100 per cent more than their
cash value at present exchange"

Was Jesus
a Jew?

A writer in the current issue of the
Dearborn Independent propounds the
foregoing question inquiringly but
convincingly. His conclusions is that
Jesus, born and raised in Galilee, was
not, as he understands conditions Of
the period, Jew, nor was he so con-
sidered by the orthodox Jews of Jeru-
salem, the capital.
If indeed, Jesus was a Jew, he made
no great moment of the fact. He
took frequent occasion to cfETde the
Jews of the period for their short
comings and incurred the enmity of
the church hierarchy. The Jewish
authorities feared and hated the in
f1uence of Jesus and took the first OPP
porunity to 90 away with him. Years
later when the appeal of the Nazarene
began to be deeply felt one authority
says the Jewish prelates referred to
Jesus in no flattering terms. He was
called IAN evil magician of illegiti-
mate birth who melted revolt and was
crucified for his crimes" For this
reference the aforesaid prelates were
made to pay dearly when the Chris
tians of the time got ahold of them.
But Jewish or not is of small i'm
pOrtance. The lesson OF Jesus IS that
he caught in wonderful clearness the
spirit of God as it moves in the hearts
of men. He saw God as a great motive
power to be drawn upon for good
works and not as some old magnifiod
man with a beard living on distant
island or a high mountain. His Wis
| ion was too great for his time and
| remains too great for us. AS we
grasp it our troubles vanish. AS we
| lose it our troubles engulf us. Some
| day, perhaps, the race of men will
clearly see what Jesus saw and shape
their lives accordingly. Then will
dawn the millennium.

Corn is King in the
Worlds Bread Basket.

Aye the Corn, the Royal Corn
Within its Golden Heart Lies Health
and Wealth for All the Nation =
Gov Oglesby.
Corn, No. l quality, is retailing at
S1.05 a bushel at the warehouses. A
year ago it sold for zoe. In the corn
growing areas the farmers should be
smiling broadly for $105 corn on
Iowa or Nebraska soil means $40 to
$3.50 and acre and who wants to beat
that
Wisconsin farmers feed their corn
and buy rather than sell when they
fail to raise enough.
Wheat, now $1.10, is sc higher than
it was a year ago but still too low to
produce a profit. Most Kansas land
produces - to Is bushels to the acre
with an occasional tract producing 20
bushels to the acre. Wheat at $110 is
not a profitable crop. Corn at S1.05 is
highly profitable
The answer as we see it is the mex
orable law of supply and demand.
Corn is up because the cereal is
scarce and for no other reason
Wheat is down because of over pro-
duction for and no other reason. Much
as we would like to see the wheat far
mers make money we would not like
to see a federal sterilization of price
1t smacks of class legislation and fav-
oritism toward group. Naturally
this is unfair to all other groups
To make it fair and pass the pie to al
would put us all on an equal FOOTING
again and old man supply and demand
would resume his mastery. Then as
Stunning that it was done and wheat
should go up beyond the government
price as it did during the war-did

WANTED Ten Million
F0reigners-Of the
Right Kjud,-ETncIe Sam.

The foregoing want ad might be in
serted by the United States ii all the
papers of northern Europe.
If the writer had charge Of immt-
grafton affairs he would set himself
about getting ten million foreigners.
These foreigners would come from the
British Isles, scandinavian countries,
Germany and certain parts Of central
Europe
America needs foreigners but chey
must be of the kind readily asslml-
Jared into good citizens.
Back in the early part of the last
century, when this country needed
settlers, the KnOW-NOthing party Lad
It's foundation. It's slogan was ::
"AMerica for the American" In spite
Of opposition foreigners came in.
Millions of Irish, English, Morse and
Germans poured into the new world.
They spread north, south and west
They peOpled a country and made All
empire.
The results have been beneficial.
ConCeding fully the great work done
by the original settlers the imm-
grants of the last century also did 3
great work. From their coming
America has not suffered but benz
fitted
But in the last fifty years the bulk
of immigration has been of another
sort. The north European immigra-
tion ceased. The south European i'm
migration began. Trouble came with
them
These people, many individually
worthy, have not taken hold and root
in the soil. They herd in the cities
They divide themselves into little
~ilques aad groups. Instead Of adopt
ing American ideals they have at
tempted TO carry out methods and
IDEAS they brought from Europe Else
how does one account for the whole
sale corruption Of the ballot, the ven
dettas the gang wars, the low state
OF citizenship in the American cities
composed largely Of such foreign ele-
ments?
1t is late but we hope not too late
immigration is a matter of vital in
tereSt now that an effort is being
made to break down the bars. If we
want this government to go forward
we must select the blood coming to US
seeing that we get the best instead Of
the off-scOurings of Europe and Asia
Minor. Therefore
