PROVINCE OF A NEWSPAPER

1t would be comical, were it not
somewhat pathetic, the way news
paper Offices are beseiged every day
by their friends, urging them to
"roast" this and that; to "see to it"
that this and that is corrected; to
have this and that done in the city or
country; to start this and that kind of
movement to, correct evils in the state
government. These friends actually
appear to believe that it is the news
papers business to handle all these
affairs.
But a sef-respecting newspaper,
though ready and willing to carry all
reasonable responsibility, must re
mind its readers that they-the peo-
ple-are the authority upon whom
rests the responsibility for the pres
ent state of affairs local, state and
national
A self-respecting newspaper tries
to report the news of what actually
happens, not. what it might wish had
happened. The relation of self
respecting newspaper to the general
public is not always, understood. 1t
is the duty Of newspaper to be in a
position to support any good act and
criticize any bad act of public policy
This relationship cannot exist
where favors are asked and granted
Honesty is the only policy for a
newspaper.
If DIRECTORS don't like the way
things are going, they should qualify
as voters, and then raise cain about it

ADVERTISING THE CHURCHES
As an outgrowth of the recent con-
vention of the Associated Advertising
Clubs in Atlantic City, the National
Church Attendance Movement has
been organized. The object Of this
body is to "scll" the idea of church
attendance to the people of this
country. "Publicity,' says an explain
atory pamphlet, will be originated
and furnished churches by master
minds in the advertising field, insur-
ing effective publicity along sane,
scientific lines" The organization
will also "act as a national clearing
house for ideas, plans and methods
used successfully by various churches
in attracting attendance" It will be
strictly undenominational and will be
under the control Of laymen.
1t will be interesting to see what
measure Of success meets this very
admirable project. The war undoubt-

PRIDE OR APOLOGY

Mr.. Farmer, do you greet stran-
gers in your community when they
ask about or. look at your school
house, with thrill of pleasure and
pride, or with an apology and an eX-
PLANTATION? Is your schoolhouse Of
the shanty or shack variety-four
walls and a roof-or is it real, hon
est to goodness school home, an edu-
cational workshop, a recreational
center for the whole community to
which all give the SAM appreciative
care they give their homes?
A representative of the United
States Bureau of Education visited a
rural school in a southern State whose
people have built fifteen really beau
tiful schoolhouses which accommodate
all the children in the county. Each
building has attractive grounds plant
ed with native trees, shrubs, grass
and flowers. Each was planned for
beauty as well as usefulness-the re
suit of love, care and thoughtfulness,
rather than money. Best of all, each
building has spacious auditorium.
The children use it four or five hours
a day. The adults use it four or five
more. In each of them there is a
handsome stage curtain of rep OF
velvet in quiet colors harmonizing
with the decoration Of the walls and
OF the woodwork,

HOW TO USE TIE VACATION

HOW TO USE TIE VACATION
The chief business Of the child for
the first twelve or fourteen years of
his life should be to grow strong phys
ically. During the school term of
eight or nine months he is usually
living in a more or less unnatural
way, sitting still for longer periods
than he should, following out process
SEES Of logically arranged thought, and
much too often doing things in which
he has little real interest. His natu-
raj growth, physical and in many
cases, mental, is more or less inter-
fered with.
Vacation time gives a good chance
to overcome some Of the drawbacks
of our schools. Three .aonths of long
hours in the fresh air and sunshine,
tramping, swimming, hunting, fish
ing and playing, a moderate amount
of physical labor for which the child
is held responsible, plenty of plain,
wholesome food, sleeping out of doors
and he will return TO his school in
September with Drowned body, alert
mind and a fund Of information that
the school could not possibly give him.
His interests will be widened,his mus
cles and mind strengthened, and he
will have learned how to use his leis-
ure time.

FREEMAN CASE
IS CONTINUED
Lawyers Sum Up in Sensa-
tionaI Will Contest Case of
MetuChen Doctor

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 1S.-
The Charles Manning Freeman will
case was continued before Judge
John p. kirkpatrick in the orphans
court here yesterday afternoon.
Russell e. Watson, attorney for the
Freeman sisters summing up the
case, pointed out that the will Of
Tered by Harry Mohring was not
properly bound, that the papers
were merely fastened together and
offered as evidence the will as made
out by attorneys to comply with all
forms. Like Attorney Thomas
Brown, Mr.. Watson stressed much
Importance to the popularity of the
sheets and the holes in them which
hold the will opposed by Mrs. Free
man.
Attorney Watson further contend
ed that it was shown from testimony
that DIR. Freeman was a habitual
drunkard, which also corroborated
by some twenty-five friends and &C
quafntances of the will maker.
1--WE have shown that Freeman
was drunk on the morning of the
late when the will was drawn" At
torney Watson said, land we have
proven that he was see drunk the
day after the will was made out"
The attorney charges those re-
sponsible for the making out OF the
will with conspiracy also showing
the mysterious circumstances under
which the will was drawn In the
presence of the Mohring family and
the Davey family only.

UNITING
Of R. R. LINES
Would Save $1,000 900
Yearly in Port Authority
Area, Gen. Goethals Says

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-That the
amalgamation of the railway lines
within the area of the Port of New
York Authority would save $780,
600 yearly, was the declaration made
Yesterday by General George W.
Goethals, consulting engineer for the
Port Authority, to railway execu-
tives at a hearing before the Inter
state Commerce Commission. Prior
tn the statement of General Goethals
executives of twelve trunk railroads
signed a resolution disappearing OF
the proposed belt line number thir-
teen"-the Port Authority's plan OF
northumberland submitted a
substitute plan.
General Goethals declared that
this could be accomplished by the
expenditure of 100000 in equip
ment. Unification of these lines, he
said. was successful during the war.
Robert J. Carey, general counsel
for the New York Central Lines, de-
clared the plan was in too nebulous
Ia form. Engineering problems, re-
CONSTRUCTION of freight rate schedules
and many other details, he said had
to be settled.
He urged that a bill of particulars
be submitted outlining these details.
Mr.. Carey said he was at a loss to
know how the Port Authority could
demand the consolidation of terminal
facilities and force the roads to
spend millions of dollars upon the
plan.
The substitute plan of the rail-
roads provides for an i~nterlocking
signal station, cross-overs to connect
lines and other equipment for uni
fled operation of terminal freight ia
c~ilities.
The Port Authority plan for belt
line number thirteen" entails the
operation of q marginal line along
the Hudson River shore of New Jer-
sey for about IL miles between Bay
onne and Fort Lee. It is n OF a
great number of proposed connect
ing lines in the Port Authority's plan
for a unified freight terminal around
New York.

ing driven about by the Indiana man
with Indiana license plates On same.
He was arrested for using improper
plates and was given a summons for
a later hearing.
The automobile thief failed to APP
pear for his hearing. and the investi-
cation by the local detectives led
to the coming of Thurber to this
city. 1t is understood that the To-
cal men has obtained his old car
and the money he paid in the deal.
Gordon is wanted in other cities for
law violations.
