EDITORIAL PAGE HELD
VITAL IN JOURNALISM
BY the Associated Press.


CLIFTON FORGE, Va, September
12.-The abolition of the editorial
page would be no less than a calamity
to the Nation and the States and the
newspapers would degenerate into a
gross commodity of commerce and
an inane rag, Col w. S. Copeland,
editor of the Newport News Daily
Press. declared today before the open
ing session of the Virginia Press AS
fsociation's thtrty-seventh annual con-
Vention.
Col. Copeland discussed the value
OF the Editorial Page" He launched
into his address by means of a
humorous anecdote based on the trials
and tribulations of Job in which one
of Jobs followers, a farmer, came to
the conclusion that Providence does
pretty nigh as much harm as it does
good" This conclusion, the speaker
said, applies to the editorial page in
the mind Of the business office Nor
was he quite sure that the news de-
partment held a more favorable view,
for only recently ''the head of the
news department of a promising Vir-
ginia newspaper remarked that he
believed the time was coming when
the editorial columns of the daily
newspaper would be abolished and
seriously proposed that discussion be
started on the subject
The editor said that the scrapping
Of the editorial page would save the
publisher a deal of trouble and ex-
pense and make the life of the editor
far more pleasant. But every news
paper, he continued, should have a
constructive policy, that it was its
duty to tear down, as far as possible,
that which is evil as we'll as to build
up that which is good. Every useful
editor, therefore, was a constructive
agitator.

Herbert Hoover is undoubtedly one
of the greatest men the World war
brought out He was born in Iowa,
August 10, 1874, studied mining engi-
neering, was graduated from Leland
Stanford, and, after various expert
ences in mining in this country, went
TO Australia as a mining chief. This
led him into China, where he did lot
of exploration work through the in
terror.
That was about twenty-five years
ago, and after these exciting happen
ings, he settled in London, holding sew
eral important positions with mining
concerns. Then Germany went through
Belgium In 1914, and one of the great
problems to be met while the armies
fought, was-who was to feed Belgium
and how? Herbert Hoover was ap-
pointed head of the Belgian relief. and
did work so remarkable that no one
could appreciate it until after the war
was over and there was time to view
events in proper perspective. He pro-
cured food, distributed it, fixed 1t so
starving communities should have their
share, made sure that the hungry peo-
pie, and not the German army, got the
food.
Naturally he was appointed food adj
ministrator in the United States when
we went into the war. Among other
things, he curtailed profiteering; en-
couraged home production and can
ming; keeping food properly distrib-
uted; preventing waste; and shipping
supplies TO our allies.
