A Costly Comma.
Manchester Guardian. )

The American tariff proposals that are being so vigorously debated just both in and out of the United States recall that former American Tariff Bill IS supposed to have contained the expensive comma, measured in hard cash, that found its way into legal document
 One of the sections enumerated what articles should be admitted free of duty. Among these were all foreign frut-plants,' &c., meaning plans for popagation or experiment. The clerk who copied the ohl changed the hyphen into comma, making the passage read all foreign fruit, plants" &c It was year before Congress could remedy the matter. and meanwhile oranges lemons, bananas grapes, and other foreign fruits came in free of duty.

MIR. ABBOTT MISSES THE MARK.

We believe that Willis J. Abbott, veteran editor misses the mark in his editorial written for the National Editorial Association under the heading Newspapers and Good Citizenship" He says it would be interesting to organize and support care- 1ul inquiry into the question to whether the tone of a community is more affected by it's news papers than the newspapers affected by it. And then:
 Newspaper publishers, particularly in this
 day are exceedingly responsive to the at
 Citude of the community in which they are
 published. Curiously enough this fact is
 not very greatly affected by the increasing
 extent to which newspapers are coming to
 rule that city the size of Milwaukee
 omaha, or even bigger towns like St. Louis
 ana Detroit have only one newspaper That
 newspaper, nevertheless strives to keep in
 touch with public sentiment and to march
 shoulder to shoulder with that sentiment
 rather than to presume upon it's unioue
 position to attempt domination The militant
 type of Journalism. has disappeared
 On the surface it may that way to an old editor who lived in the days when so many newspapers sought to dominate The fact is how ever, that newspapers probably never freer in their editorial comment than now They never probably tried less to march shoulder to shoulder with sentiment. The fact that they do so is due more to the fact that education is more general now than in the days when MT. Abbot was a young journalist, and, that being the case the newspaper writers more often find themselves and their read CTS in agreement now than then. The deyelopment that finds all the people independent in their politics and their attitude toward things in general has affected the newspaper writers, probably even more than the average reader. Also all are more tolerant.
 Another development that has come about

The Daily Alaska empire., 1929-08-29

through education and the necessities of the times more than through calculated design is the accen- tuation of the function of gathering and selling news rather than the advocacy of political party or dogma Newspapers are more and more dis penSer of rather than organs-political or otherwise.
 The result is that find newspapers and their readers marching shoulder to shoulder" oftener than in the old days when every political party had it's organ and most newspapers organs.
