For example o. excellent newspaper reporting,
the Press calls attention to the article in Tuesdays
issue written BY Henry T. Russell of the United Press
staff describing the visit of the Prince Of Wales the
poverty stricken mine districts Of England.
The article is brief hut graphic in its description
Of the conditions which the prince found One
almost feel as he reads it. the cold icy sush through
which the prince Vaded; the dirty badraggled
children who scurried around him; the Wretched
men, half starved and bearing the print of suffering
their faces; their equally starved looking husbands,
bowed down by their poverty and their lack Of SUI
ficent nourishment.
1t is almost possible to see the green scarf tied
around the throat of Charles Lewis, and hear MS
Cochnoy acolHt he strides alCng beside the prince
explaining the distress of his people.
Contrasting such scenes IS the trim we'll dressed
and Immaculate figure Of the prince Americans
know HIM Not that the difference attaches any
stigma idea of reproach to the prince. He
born to his station and the miners born TO theirs.
II is the way Of life. Indeed the prince cEcas our
admiration for the real soictudc he show Tor these
people whom he will day rule and his sincere
desire to better their condition.
Reading Of their misery causes heartacho Their
condition is caused by the shutting down Of the mines
upon which they depend for living. Some Of the
men have not bCcn able TO work for Tlar hey
live IN the squalor that often abOunds in Industrial
cOmmunitc particularly ia English mining towns.
Even while we express our sympathy for these
E0Sish ncTs we know nat in many places Of our
own country SIM al conditions probably vCrrr
exist. lic is not al fine automobiles radios, jeWlrT
luNuriou Or comfortable homes or indeed many thing
which so many Of as consider necessities ol life.
There is much cr.u silent. Wretcacd poverty rlgh,
