THE WRONG WAY

An editorial that has frequently
been exchanging back and forth
among a certain class of newspapers
that apparently have little else to
write has aroused the writer to say
a little in self defense in order that
these charges might be refuted before
it is so generally read that people will
begin to look at the newspaper as a
falsifier. Before going on. however,
it might be well to quote the obnox-
ious article:
Men will take liberty to tell you
how to run paper. when they would
not think of limiting to the merchant
how to conduct his store or tell the
preacher what to preach. They pay
money for schools, and don't know
whether Jimmy is learning the rule of
three or how to hold a cigarette grace
fully, but when it comes to the news
paper, there's where they all get off.
During the past week a friend
wanted to know why we did not try to
run a paper a little more along the
lines of how Christ would run a paper
We don't know how it would be. In
the first place. If Christ was back on
earth we don't believe that he would
go into the newspaper business at ALL
There is not an editor or a preacher
that could tell the whole truth for
thirty days and stay in the community
in which he lived. If our friend doubts
this statement, let him try telling the
absolute truth just one week and see
where he lights"
First of all the duty of the news
paper should be to give the public the
news in the way it takes place and if
it is impossible to tell the truth, then
it is best for the editor of that news
paper to hold his peace, for it is by
far better to pass up an article than
to deliberately lie in order to print it.
A good motto for the editor of a news
paper to follow is: Get it first, but
first get it right" Hearsay material
has no place in the columns of the
American-some one has to be respon-
sible.
The scribe of the quoted editorial al
~
should come back to earth. he would
not go into the newspaper business.
This is certainly degrading and I'M
Intelligent statement for a public
writer to make in regard to his pro-
fession. We, of the American love
our work and if we have to stoop so
low as write such material for our
columns, we will leave them white or
get into some other line of endeavor
and we think the editorial field would
be better off with our exit in that
event
Now once and for all time. the
writer would like to state i'm refuting
this ignominious TRADE and insult to
the newspaper profession, that the
Askov American is published each
week with the thought that what has
been printed is little bit better than
that of the issue before and with the.
conviction at least, that what has
been said, WAS TRUE.

sional seat and transferred to the
Presidents private command.
After NewtOn's loyal service to the
Hoover cause and to the grain and
milling interests in Minneapolis, it
doesn't seem fair to cut short his
legislative career for a try as a pri-
vate secretary, even to president,
but the answer may be found in New
toms desire to eventually find him
self in federal judgeship. And there
is nothing like the friendship general
ed by close, contact with the president
to assure that his ambition will be
realized in due time. in other words,
during the next four or eight years.

SCHAEFER

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.--Welker
Cochran and Jake Schaefer, both
former champions, clash at the
Level club tonight in a final match
which will decide the 1872 balkline
billiard championship. First prize
is, worth something like 100000,
and the winner also will receive q
handsome medal.
The pair are tied for first place
in the six-man tourney with three
victories and one defeat apiece.
While past performances give
Schaefer the edge. the erratic Coch-
ran has displayed flashes of bril-
lance surprising even the skill of
the son of "old Jake" billiard
king of another generation.
The loser of tOnight's match
will be tied with EdOuard
HOremans OF Belgium, the de-
posed champion, and Kinrey
Matsuyama of Japan, for second
place. The winner Of the second
prize, which carries with IL a.
salary of $4,000, will be deter
mined by the grand averages
of the trio.
Horemans defeated Eric Hagen
lacher, of Germany, last night by
a score of 400 to 215 in a rather
slipshod match. Matsuyama, who
started the tourney with three
straight wins, was beaten by
Schaefer yesterday in Is innings,

sively for the Boston garden, the
New York garden and Jess Nc
Mafon, who has the choice of operat-
ing at his Bronx arena, seating 49,
900 indoors, or at one of the local
ball parks. So far, he has signed
managerial contracts only with Ar.
thur Bulow, Charley Rose and the
team of Joe Jacobs and Billy McCar-
ney, it being his wish to limit the
field to an exclusive few and thus
keep out the riff-raff.
Jacobs and McCarney are i'm

ing signed his own contract
with the Garden, with Jacobs
assaiIing the dotted line merely
in the character Of witness"
This was done to get around the
commission but, since the latter
has declared for Bulow as the only
man qualified to make the Max's
matches. it might be trifIe easier
to get around Lake Michigan. And,
then again, it may be as easy as
getting around the nearest corner.
The commission reverses itself so
often that one of these fine days
it is going to reverse one of its own
reversals.
Schmeling has tried to evade the
Boston fight because it was made for
him by Bulow but zee he is being
threatened with everything. Including
Ellis Island. il he doesn't go through,
1t is presumed that ultimately he will
be chivvied into the business. Nc
Mahon naturally doesn't clai m
priority over Boston, since both con.
tracts were signed by Bulow. AS a

ball with everybody except Madison
Square Garden, where he was match
maker until the great blow fell.

The appointment of Young as the
successor to Springston was an
nounced today by Chancellor Lucius
C, Clark, of American University.
He will assume his new duties in
September, Springston finishing his
term with the close of the current
year.
SpringstOn, who competed in
athletics at the University of
Illinois and George Washington,
indicated that he desired to be
relieved of his duties at Ameri-
can University, as he desired to
give his full time to his law
practice i'm this city.
He has been with the college since
it's entrance into intercollegiate ath-
letics and considering the small
number of men from whom he had
to draw his material has made an
excellent record, especially in basket
ball.
The newly appointed coach
and director of athletics played
freshman football at Ohio Wesleyan,
and was for his other three years
on the varsity, playing end. He
was a member of the mythical ALI
Ohio eleven, as end, for two OF
these three years, and during his
junior and senior years, Ohio Wes-
leyan, under the direction of George
Gauthier, coach, won the football
championship of the Ohio Con-
ference.
Young not only played under
Gauthier at Ohio Wesleyan. but
took several of his courses in
physical education and coaching,
and is well sChOOled in the
Gauthier methods.
AS head of athletics in Chillicothe
High School, Young has built up
teams which in football during the
past two years have been unde-
feated. During three of the five
years he has been there, his foot
ball teams have won the champion
ship of the South Central Ohio
League. Of which ChiIlicothe is a
member.

An this time Jimmy had no ath-

would be ineligible to compete in
