Not Afraid of the Cars

Favorable comment outweighs criticism OF Gov
ernor Sore's various vetoes. For the most part
he showed excellent judgment and his messages
upon rejected bills reflect that he has considered
the best interests of the majority against the
special interests Of minortes There will be some
honest difference of opinion on the merits and de-
merits IT legislation passed at the last session, but
Governor Sorlie has shown excellent judgment and
no small amount of backbone in selecting the good
and rejecting the bad.
Pressure brought to bear upon him to eject the
Rakken bill which cuts down some Of the benefits
under the Workmens Compensation Act was great,
but Governor Sorlie stood his ground for legisla-
ton as much in the interests Of labor as employ
crs. On the other hand, nasmuch the state il
committed to state insurance of this class, he re-
sisted any attempts to nullify its operation
The state hail measures presented some difficult
ties which he had to solve along the same lines as
he did the Workmens Compensation bills. Pro-
lection of the hail department with it's funds ami
obligations seemed to him paramount. Unfor-
tunately some very good features in the various
bills were allied with some very bad and menacing
ones. Had the proponents of some of the desir-
able amendments to the hail laws refused to have
their bills joined merged with measures of no
merit, the executive veto would not have been so
sweeping.
All in ALL the Sorie vetoes have worked hard
ships upon no one and kept some measures of very
doubtful value from further Cutting the statutes
of North Dakota.
The veto record of the Sore administration is
probably unique in the annals of the state His at
titude has been free from political rancor and al
ways has he been actuated by the best of motives

Editorial Comment
News and Publicity
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle


A newspapers basic reason for cxistcncc-thc
justification for the established freedom of the press
in English-speakng nations--is that it is medium
for conveying the public the facts about society in
its various phases
1t is particularly important that in dealing with
any public question upon which the judgment of the
public may be decisive the newspaper shall perform,
this service with fidelity and accuracy; that its re-
port of the facts that concern such public question
shall be complete and without bias in favor of any
particular interest.
II is also important that the matter which occupies
space in newspaper shall be of legitimate general
interest and not be included TO serve some particu
lar group.
Facts which it is important to publish because they
are of general interest are news. Facts or argu-
ments which derive their Importance chiefly from
the interest OF some person persons in having
them published are publicity
The newspapers of today have little difficulty in
gathering and presenting news; but they must con-
stantly have their defenses up against publicity
which in myriad and nsdious forms attacks the
editorial citadel at all hours of the day and night
The tons Of publicity matter which reach the
editorial desks of any far-szed newspaper consti-
tute one of the greatest wastes Of materials and

successes as "Grandma's Boy "Safc-

and others.
The current slapstick vogue, in the
belief Of Lloyd, is II natural reaction
to long period of heavy drama.
Entertainment appeal runs in cycles
and right now comedy appears to be
all the rage. Lloyd has always
recognized the place Of slapstick on
the screen, but avoided it, believing
that the public likes him best in the
sympathetic type Of ion
which must be kept legitimate.
Harold has established himself on

profession, and in checking over the
list, he'll be found alone in his par
ticular brand Of comedy.

A deputy sheriff, recognizing one
of the three as they struggled
through the mob which milled before
the courthouse steps, came to the
assistance of Faith, her father, and
Bob Hathaway, clearing passage
for them and escorting them to the
very door of the courtroom in which
the trial of Cherry and Chris Wiley
was about to begin.
Stephen Churchill, as chief coun-
sci for the defense, rose from the
long table where he and his two
assistants had been comforting, and
came to meet them.
"Glad to see you, Miss Faith. You
are looking beautiful today" Church
i'll said in unctuous tones. "Sit here,
Mr.. Lane. Miss Cherry can sit be-
tween you. This seat all right for
you, Hathaway" he asked good
naturally, indicating a seat immedi-
ately behind the chair in which he
had placed Faith. "Ill sit here, at
the table, right in front of Miss
Cherry and Miss Faith so | can con-
suit my client without difficulty. All
right"
Faith was glad Of his busting cor
.diality, for it served to divert her
mind for the moment from the APP
ipalling realization of the fact that,
az Cherry's sister, she was the cyno-
sure of all eyes.
She had hardly time to look about

which Faith had designed and made
for her made her look even timer
than she was, for it was a straight,
clinging black sheath of lusterless

Motor Tag Deadline.

A special extension or time mas Deen

owner to have affixed the tardy 1921

extended the time until midnight Mon

They all procrastinate until they ma

tags. changing the oil in the OLD bus,
or getting those two new tires-lt Is
always the same. The creed seems
to be Never do today the things that
can be done tomorrow" even ii tomor-
row is inconvenent.
In the matter of the purchasing OF
these new licenses, however. there IS
a good deal Of excuse for procrastina-
ton. The original firm possessing the
contract defaulted after months of de-
lay, and it required speedy action on
the part of local authorities to relet
the contracts so that Washington mo-
torists would be enabled to have 1927
tags before the year was out. Small
shipments have been trickling into
Washington since about the first OF
the year, but it has been only re-
Gently that the full order has been
received.
Many of the fifteen hundred delin-
quent motorists have probably ap-
piled at the District Building only to
find that the small supply had been
exhausted. Under these circumstances

habitual procrastinators. The Dis
