"HOT SHOTS"
(Written for The Mail
By "BOLSHEVIK" BILL

Your hometown paper is like
your family physician. They are
intimate friends to you You love
and respect them. They belong to
you, and you should belong to
them
A hometown paper in the hands
of an incompetent editor is pathetic
it is almost a catastrophe. No
single factor so much enters into
the community as it's local paper.
1t is the very soul of the commun-
ity, and the editor is the soul of
the paper.
To be successful with a home
town paper, the editor must know
and love his community and it's
people. He must enter into it's
sorrows; share it's joys, and tri-
umphs.
The measure of the reward Civ
en- the editor of a hometown pap
er, like the family physician lis not
largely financial If, the editor
seeks broader field for his fame
and fortune he must leave the
hometown. The local paper can
be no larger than, the community
which supports it.

PUBLICITY

If the decision reached at the
Bisbee press meeting to reduce pub
licity, is carried out, it will be bet
ter for all concerned, the news
papers, their readers and those who
are entitled to publicity. 1t may
not be easy to convince the last
named that they would be benefici-
aries of such a reform, but never
theless they would be.
The people who read and make
newspapers possible have become
more expert than newspaper man
ayers and press agents suppose,
in perceiving that publicity is not
news; that it is not intended for
the edification or profit of the read
er, but that it is to serve the pur-
pose of some one who pays liber-
ally for the preparation of it.
though he may pay nothing for its
publication.
Knowing this much, the reader
places no value on the great mass
of it, but he may be led to suspect
that real news is publicity Thus
his confidence in the newspaper is
lessened. and the papers value to
the advertiser and to what we may
call the legitimate press agent, is
lesSened.
1t is a well-known fact that the
more in volume of any commodity
or anything, the less it's value per
unit. If a newspaper were filled
with publicity. containing nothing
else, it would be Of value to no.

Now. there are some kinds of
advertising valuable as news. A

without this kind of advertising
Mr.. c. H. K Curtis, while in Phoe-
nix in one of his talks at a small
gathering of newspaper men men
toned that for years New York and
Philadelphia newspapers sought
the Wanamaker advertising because
the people demanded it. Perhaps
it would be better to say that such
advertising is a feature" as dis
tinguished from news-but a valu-
able and indispensable feature.
But that cannot be said of any
matter that is known as publicity
That is not a feature; it is not ex-
pected; sometimes it may be inter
esting to the reader, but it is not
something he cannot get along

According to news dispatches
Governor Hunt points with pride
to an absence of impromptu neck
tie parties during his administra-
ton.
Friends of the Governor indig-
nantly deny that he also intends
to take credit for the eclipse in
the southern hemisphere.
No one has attempted, SO far,
to take credit for the lovely win
ter climate in Phoenix. Probably
an oversight on the Cows part.
Anybody can have credit for last

INSPIRATIONAL DEPARTMENT

Once there was a very hard
working. sincere young man who
caught the seven-year itch, but
with his customary diligence, and
by working harder than ever, he
scratched his way out in three
years and two months.

Fall, Edward Doheny and Harry
Sinclair were overruled in a court
dispute.
Are those boys in court again, or
yet?
At that, you can't say the courts
aren't trying. The question is, what
are they trying to do?
Fall, Doheny and Sinclair may

sions was false. We are and will re-

decisions Of this conference, which are
absolutely correct.
THE slogan for the development of

party decisions in relation to certain
concessions to the richer peasants,

and of agricultural wage labor. Zinc

lied these measures in the peasant
policy as a retreat, in the session of
the Communist fraction of the Soviet
congress, the majority of the polit
bureau made no objection.
In the same speech he had declar-
ed that this partial retreat proceeded
from the main retreat in 1921, namely
the new economic policy which had
proved itself as necessary and useful.

cialism in our state undertakings.
State capitalism does not limit itself
to those shops which are leased or are
working under a concession, as is now
said, but it extends itself also to the
free commerce, to the growth of cap
italism in the individual peasant econ
omy. 1t is natural that state capital
ism grows into socialism and that it
is, as Lenin declared, three quarters
of socialism. ~
Zinoviev called to mind how Buch-
arin in February, 1922, in an article
refused to recognize the state under
takings as socialist undertakings in
the exact sense of the word and Zinc

EDITORS NCTE.-The Interna-
tional Workers Aid has received a
copy of an appeal just issued by the
teaching staff on the National Uni
versity of China, located at Picking.
These professors some months ago
called on the intellectuals of the world
to protest against the massacres car
ried on at Shanghai by the foreign
powers. In response the International
Workers Aid issued an appeal for
help signed by some of the most fam
GUS personages of Europe and Amer
lea, including Henri Barbusse of
France, Bernard Shaw of England,
Edo. Fimmen of Holland, Clara Zet-
kin of Germany and Upton Sinclair Of
the United States. The fact that this
group Of Chinese intellectuals has is
sued this second call just at this time
when the diplomats of the imperialist
powers, including our own, have made
a gesture of meeting the Chinese de-
mands is of the utmost significance.
The letter Of an American butcher Of
the Chinese workers in this paper a
few days ago shows the terrible atroc-
tiles wreaked on the struggling work
ers there. Help is urgently needed for
the Chinese relief. All contributions
should be sent to the International

they imposed treaties on China which
have deprived her wholly of the ma
tional right of elf-determination.
England, France. America and
Japan entered into the world war with
the slogans: "Self-determination Of all
nations" and Liberty for the cultural
and economic development of all peo-
pies" Yet these are the same powers
which force foreign ''justice" upon our
people in Chinese Territory and have
extorted the right of extra-territorial-
ity for their citizens in the expoited
sections of our country, stolen from us,
and which have established foreign
control of our customs and financial
institutions. 1t is these same powers
which have so outrageously and with
such bloody measures violated our
right of national differentiation
and trampled on the liberty of our
people, who suffer sgrievously ip con-
sequence.
Down with Unfair Treaties.
II was our dead leader, Sun Vat
Sen, who termed these treaties vio-
lently forced upon China. Unfair
Treaties" The people Of China de-
mand unanimously the annulment Of
these unfair treaties. The limitations
imposed by foreign powers upon the
customs duties of our country have
ruined our national finances and most
seriously hindered our economic de-
velopment. At this time the customs
conference delegates of the imperial
list powers are meeting in Picking TO
devise ways for maintaining their Gus
toms control in the future. And yet
all over the Chinese republic the cry
comes: Down with the unfair treat
ies!" Away with foreign customs
control! Full thrift autonomy for
China!" But the customs delegates,
eager TO serve the capitalist groups in
the countries Of which they are repre-
sentatives, pay no attention to this
cutlery. Like thesihterests they repre-
sent in America, England, Japan, and
France, they consider China subject
