Gov. Roland H. Hartley during
the early part of the week went
on a rampage and when he fin
ished "blowing off, steam left a
plenty of rafting good advice for
the newspapers of the state, the
community chest campaign COM
mittees, city councils, and the vel
fare leagues, something to think
about.
ssStop talking, shouting and pro-
paganding depression and unena-
ployment, hard times and hard
winter ahead, said the governor
in effect. Stop soaring the day
lights out of people, who want to
spend but are afraid to. Stop this
Oppressive talk and times will inn
mediately start getting better"
Mighty good advice coming at
time when it is badly needed.
The governor could have gone
further. He could have called at
tention to the nation wide efforts
on the part Of certain agitators to
bring about riots and disorders
during the coming winter purely
for political purposes Politics and
nothing else is in the main respon-
sible for the present business and
financial stress.

ployed who were willing to buy 9
meal with labor. On the first day
only 100 Of the $50 did the specif-
led work. BY the end Of the week
the number who were ready to
work two hours for two meals had
fallen to between thirty and forty.
One would like more details. We're
the men who refused to work
physically able to accept the
terms of the welfare federation?
How many real malingerers were
identified by the sitting process ?
Anyhow, the test seems worth
while, and might well be adopted
in other cities.

BAD NEWS

A newspaper contracts to give
its readers the news. Filling the
contract is pleasant business
when the news is pleasant, but q
depressing business when the news
is bad. The newspaper does not
make the news, however, and is
not responsible for it. To blame
the newspaper for printing bad
news is no more sensible than
blaming mirror for reflecting
ugliness or blaming a physician
for the illness Of his patient. #
the Courier-Reporter reports a
crime committed by some mem
Der of your family, it does not
by so doing take sides against
himany more than mirror be-
comes partizan when it reflects
unpleasant truths. It had much
rather report some great ac-
complishment of his or some con-
spicuous proof of virtue But it
cannot manufacture facts. It can
only record the truth. If a man
who robs bank falls out with
US for reporting the incident, he
does not thereby lessen his guilt.
He might shoot US as proof of his
resentment, but he would be a
rogue still. The paper is not the
one to blame. Hating the paper
won't change the facts. The way
to keep from being called q
thief in print is to refrain from
stealing.

The sun still shines, the grass
grows, the streams continue their
flow, the earth and the fullness
thereof is man'sbut what is the
matter with man? Lack of conf
dence, for one thing. The world
has known greater depressions be-
fore, of greater severity and more
far reaching in disastrous effects.
We shall recover from this one
also; but not until confidence re-
turns Business Chronicle.

One of the things most remark
ed about the Prosser States Day
celebration is the fact that they
make no charge. At our fair, out
side of the admission into the
grounds, the entertainment fea-
lures are free and always have
been. The program this year will
be more varied than ever before
And it's all free.

To obtain public office in this
country one must be surrounded
by influences that will under
mine the character of any man.
He must either become a grovel-
ing hypocrit in his effort to
please, or q selfish egotist in his
effort to sell himself. Either will
make him unfit for the office if
he is successful in his quest. That
we believe, is the reason for SO
many misfits in public life.
