Why They Fail

Uncle Sans methods OF saving IN,
American agricultural industry ar,
based largely on more liberal credits
Tor farmers. The Tribune thinks the
idea IS unsound because it settles
nothing and merely invites further
difficulty. A QUESTIONABLE used by the
United States department OF agricul-
fure to discover the opinion Of farmers
themselves resulted this way:
Forty-two per cent OF the
farmers feel that their financial
difficulties arc due to low prices
OF farm products. the United
States department Of agriculture
says; Seventeen per cent a,,ri-
butte their condition TO high taxes
II per cent 70 high costs Of farm

Hiring Influence"

The public generally believes, an,
the Freeman-Journal shares in tina
behalf, that such men as McAdoo
Gregory and Lane, all former Demo
cratic cabinet officers. were employed
by the oil interests more because o.
their political influence than because
OF their legal ability. Other LAWYERS
Just as good and better could have
been secured for half the salaries paid
these gentlemen; but other lawyers
lacked the main qualihcation-politi-
influence. Nobody knows better
the oil men what the right kind
Of influence is worth at the right time.

labor; 10 per cent to high freight
rates; 10 per cen L high interest
rates; o per cent; 10 reckless ex-
pendiiures during the boom period
and = per cent to TOO much credit.
Farmers paid taxes. paid high
freight rates. paid high labor cost,
during the war and immediately fol-
lowing 1t when prices were high
The trouble with agriculture today
IS a combination OF these. But even
more important. the difficulty is prices
hat are too low for farmers products
and prices that arc too high for
others products.

Doheny Good Publicity Man

George Creel, publicity agent Of n.
Wilson administration, didn't tell us
a word about his connections w;,h

about pitiless publicity. If we bavo

Be Truthful-Get the
Facts

So far as Mr.. Nanderiip and MS
false i%nsinuations are concerned il is
perhaps not worth while 10 give furih-
er attention to that feature OF the in
vestigations going on at Washington
But inadvertently Mr.. Nandcriip has
called attention to the character Of
newspaper Mr.. aHrding owned and
edited. Tie former banker. with
limited knowledge OF newspaper value
overlooked some things that gave an
unusual but real value to the Marion
Star. That paper was built up by
Mr.. and Mrs. Harding through ideals
Early in his newspaper career. Mr.
Harding adopted certain rules for the
government OF his paper. among whici
was one that Mr.. Vanderlip should
learn. That one reads. BE truthful
Get the facts"
Since the Marion Star" has come
into public attention under the at
tacks OF Mr.. Vanderlip. it will serve
a good public purpose to reprint the
rules which governed all the EN-.
ployes OF that paper. The rules were
as follows:
Remember there are two sides
10 every question. Get them both.
BE truthful. Get the facts.
Mistakes are inevitable. but
strive for accuracy. / would
rather have one story exactly right
than a hundred half wrong.
BE decent. be fair. be generous.
Boost-don't knock. I
There's good in everybody.
Bring out the good in everybody
and never needlessly hurt the q
feelings of anybody.
In reporting a political gather +
ing. give the facts. tell the story
as IT is. not as you would like to =
have II. Treat all parties alike.
II there's n politics to be
played. we will play it in our edi- T
torial columns. Il
Treat all religious matters rever-
emily. II
II it can possibly be avoided

Don't wait I be asked. but do |
1t without asking. and. above all. +;
be clean and never let a dirty word

that II can go into any home 10,
without destroying the innocence
Of any child. .
