Great Editor Dies

Macmillan Harden was the
greatest newspaper man modern
Germany ever produced, and one
of the greatest that ever lived.
He not only had the vision to
see what was rotten in his own
Government, but the courage to
tell about it.
He criticised Kaiserism when
few dared to think unfavorably
of it, much less to speak.
He realized perfectly well that
he took his life in his hands, but
never flinched from performing a
duty which his conscience told
him was necessary.
He probably did more to break
the back of the military caste in
Germany and thus guarantee al
lied triumph than any single man
on either side.
He did this, not as revolu-
zionist, not as one who wishes to
tear down and destroy, but as a
real patriot.
Germany has gained lot
through the heroic work of this
fearless editor, but other coun-
tries could do the same by CIV
ing men like him the proper
chance.

y In Open Boat 7 DAYS

Nine men in an open boat fol-
seven days reads like tale out of
the past.
No matter how we gain through
devices of speed and safety,
enough of the old order remains
to constantly remind us of the
exacting and dangerous toll by
which civilization has been shaped.
These nine men, who aban-
doned their laundering schooner
200 miles east of Bermuda and
spent the next week wondering
whether they would be picked up
by some passing ship or left to
die by the slow process of starva-
ton, furnish an exceptional item.
Time was when such incidents
were common and when a happy
ending did not represent anything
like an even bet.

A Place for Family Doctor

There always will be work for the family doctor,
even though the modern medical trend is toward
providing specialist for every part of the body
cording to DR.. Charles H. Mayo of the famous
Rochester clinic
The family doctors main work has become
DEMONSTRATING people what as them and where
to go for the remedy That, and telling people who
only imagine they i'll that there really is nothing
the matter with them. Of the latter Sort Dr. Mayo
recently said, many to the Minnesota clinic seek
ing relief Perhaps for these people, after ALL there
never will be relief.
Diagnosis no, we should hate to lose the per-
sonaty of the good old fashioned family doctor who
KNOWS less and less about more and more" accord
ing to Dr.. Mayo. The specialist, DR.. Mayo described
the man who knows more and more about less
and less" Whatever he knows the family doctor al
ways has been after own heart--when we
were sick
Who can not remember the reassuring words,
spoken in din1-lit hallway, well pull her
through now, all right, think?" Those words were
golden to us.
Who can not remember that pleasant face in the
dead of night? And how the boys own face lighted
up when the doctors warm confident touch closed on
his throbbing wrist?
Through storms and summer heat, day and night
miles upon miles, the family doctor has gone on his
missions of health and mercy sympathetic friend,
a comforter, patient careful inspiring
place for the family doctor? There always will
be place for him!

StraWs In the Winds

It may be that the hope is father to the thought,
but at last we do to straws in the wind
beginning to drift slowly in the direction Of under
standing between the United States and Mexico.
Saturday Uncle Sans new representative down
there rode to the historic national palace and there
in the presence of large crowd gathered in the grand
salon of the ambassadors, formally presented his Gre
dentials to President Gales.
OF course such ceremonies follow protocol as
formal high church wedding but, like wedding,
they can be as cold as Greenlands icy mountains
warmed by certain atmosphere of cordially which
all present seem to feel This certain invisible some
thing seemed to surround the formaties in question.
Even prior to the ceremonies of Saturday, how
ever we seemed to scent a possible change for the
better in Mexican American affairs. The Amer
lean ambassador was obviously pleased to find him
self among the Mexican people, while the latter
showed every indication of being glad to have him.
On board the train bound TO Mexico City, we I'M
derstand Ambassador Morrow already practicing
up on few preliminary words of Spanish which he
intends to master that he may approach closer to the
people among whom he is to live and labor And,
we are told, MeXcans who met and talked with him
left saying: cat last we have been sent American
with heart"
On his side President calleSlast week revoked the
embargo against buying supplies for the Mexican gov
eminent in the United States. This embargo was
levied after Washington had refused to permit the
delivery of some airplanes, saddles and other goods
purchased in this country by Mexico. Under the cir
cumstances it is difficult to interpret the cancellation
of the embargo other than deliberately friendly
gesture on the art of Mexico's chief executive.
We repeat these things are but straws in the wind,
but to us they do seem to be waiting in the right di
rection After heart-breakingly protracted period
of pickering and n-prickng on the part of State
Department which constantly exhibited most abys-
psychology it begins to look if President Coolidge
had personally interviewed that much-needed change
might be wrought
Ambassador Morrow has got off to a good start.
Rightly proud of independence and sovereignty
we Americans all are, our representative in
Mexico City to take it for ganted he should
that the Mexicans equally rightly proud of theirs.
Negotiations conducted on such basis, each scrupu-
lousy respectful of the national rights, pride and
honor of the other, scarcely fail to result in
lasting understanding.
BY that we do not mean the task is an easy one.
1t is not AS have taken occasion to observe more
than before, there hostile and selfish groups
on both sides the border which hope-and may even
try to make-it end in failure. Nevertheless the
auguries good and point to ultimate success
Moreover it is high time. 1t is absurd for Mexico
and the United States to be making schoolboy faces
at each other the Rio Grande when everybody
knows good relations would be so much more
profitable to them both.

La0 and Justice
By Dexter M. Keezer

In violation of statute forbidding such sales on
Sunday soft drink proprietor sold bottle
of soda water. The bottle contained number of flies
which the man swallowed, making him very sick
He sued the bother for damages on the ground
that the company responsible for the purity of
its product. The company commended that the man
was not entitled to recover damages because he had
been party to violation of the Sunday blue law
and consequently equally much at fault as the
company in bottling flies with its soda pop.
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: The Supreme Court of Mis-
sissppi decided that the could not recover dam
ages. The reason given that he was just as much
at fault as the company because he had purchased
the soda water the result of transaction involving
a Sunday law violation. n

What Other Editors Think

of that case The press that did not fear to maks
the expose was probably included in the list of some
newspapers" which Mr. Orr criticised.
He declared that newspapers print only the at
tacks on the integrity of public officials and revelations
of some misdeed and that the good deeds and good
administration of pubce officials read about
That is argument against the policies of news
papers, for it is true in every circle of life. Every
man and every is expected to go straight there
is no particular why any should be given

Big Bills Example

If John w. Smith wishes to
make himself sure of winning the
mayoralty election in Detroit, he
should come out against King
George as we'll as prohibition.
That is what big Bill" Thomp-
son did in Chicago and it worked
too we'll to be overlooked by any
candidate for mayor in a large
American city.
In order to make the imitation
perfect, Mr.. Smith might say to
his constituents, IF Nathan Hale

ToiIer Benefits Last

Quite in line with this thought,
but far less agreeable to read
about, was the destruction of that
Gloucester fisherman by an ocean
liner in which only three of the
crew of fifteen escaped.
Passengers on the great ship Of
steel were hardly disturbed by
the shock, but those aboard the
little wooden egg shell sensed it
as the crack, of doom.
1t is the toiler at the end of
the line who is the last to benefit
by improvement, the poor devil
who cannot afford to take ad-
vantage of it. a

To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Doesn't it seem like a farce for
the board of trustees of the Michi-
gan City prison to attempt to hear
the cases of nearly one hundred ap-
plications for parole or pardon in
one day?
am not acquainted with any men,
Der of this board, and suppose they
think they are doing what is right.
If hundred cases we're to be dis
posed of and only ten minutes were
allowed to each case it would take
more than sixteen hours continuous
hearing, and if only one Minute
ing of one case and beginning the
hearing of another, this would con-
sumo an hour and forty minutes.
1t is not likely that any meri-
torious case could be presented in
twice ten minutes
Many of them would require at
least one hour if such a presentation
of the case is to be made as to en-
able the moard to act with any IN
telligence.
wonder how much time the
board gave to the consideration of
the case of Ed Kelly, to whom they
denied a parole. 1t took ten minutes
to read newspaper accounts of this
case, and it is hardly likely that the
newspapers could give space to
print the whole story.
Judging wholly from newspaper
accounts of this case, I venture to
say very great majority of indi-
vidualS who read the story would
have voted to grant this applica-
ton for parole.
1t is only fair to the board to
assume that they refused it because
they undertook too many cases in
single day and could not give
sufficient time to any one of them.
This is wrong practice.
If the Governor is to be guided by
recommendations of the board, he
should know that the board has
ample time to hear the case fully,
ard that they were IN a position tc
make a fair recommendation.
Otherwise, their recommendation
is worse than valuable. 1t is a pos
tive injustice if made upon half
a hearing. 1t looks to me as II this

To the Editor:
Duvall has finally been smoked
out of his den. Let us give thanks.
We, of course, realize that no great
amount of outstanding courage was
necessary on the part Of the council
in putting the skids under Duvall,
and greasing the runway for his
long delayed slide out into a ''crool,"
cold world.
But they dallied along in a dis
gustingly weak inactivity, till Givap
ard Ramsay threw a monkey
wrench into the machinery. wreck
ing it beyond hope of repair. The
council could have added laurels to
their crowns by taking the initia-
tive, and removing Duvall weeks ago.
But has Duvallism been removed
from our city's escutcheon? Only
the future can tell.
Should the gesture to make Ira
Holmes mayor for the ensuing
twenty-six months be successful
then we will learn to our sorrow
that we have only taken "a leap
from the frying pan into the fire."
An opportunity now confronts the
council, whereby they may win the
everlasting plaudits Of an outraged
citizenry.
They can, if they but will, give
us exactly the type of mayor that
we would expect in a city manager
form of government, so overwhelnn-
ingly voted for last spring.
Are they able to rise to this OPP
portunity?
Their jockeying tactics of the past
twenty-five months leave but faint
hope of anything but a miserable
fiasco as an outcome of the present
turmoil.
Let us hope for the best.

Sketches

Beaney, a newsie, deposited two
ragged elbows on the ScoutmaSter's
desk and brought sharp little chin
to rest upon his fists. Between those
two grimy little paws his immacu-
lately clean young face shone earn
estly.
IT wanna be a scout" he an
nounced, "how much's 1t cost?" and
he withdrew from his pocket large
soiled handkerchief in one corner of
which some coins we're tied. The
scoutmaster smiled.
But you're not twelve years old
yet"
Beaney flushed and shifted his
newspaper bag around to his back.
Jaw, yes I am" he said, his eyes
smiling defensively.
For several moments the master
tried in vain to catch him in his fib.
Beaney was too quick at subtraction
to be ensnared about the year of
his birth or to give away other vital
statistics about himself. 1t was not
until the master asked his grade in
school that the calamity happened.
His answer: 1.-THE fifth" popped
off his tongue like a scared rabbit
before he had time to catch it by
the tail and pull 1t back.
Flows thatP Fifth grade for
bright twelve-year old like youp"
Beaney tried again valiantly, al
though he was sure by now that the
Jig was up.
Well, I usen't to be a good boy"
and then he confessed truthfully,
but I'll be twelve In two years."
Come back then, son, and We'll
make a real scout of you-no fib-
bing!" And they laughed together.
Needless to say, Beaney became
an ardent scout winning his merits
