|THEN,' he adds. TO show their
good will, those newspapers
which can afford it ought volun-
tarily to make a gentlemen's agree
ment among themselves. and per-
haps with the President. putting
into effect the labor provisions in
the proposed code"
The New York Daily News, which
Is not radical publication, de-
clared in an editorial this week that
newspapers are the chief en-
ployers Of child labor, hiring some
100000 children as carriers or
newsboys."
Just what has delayed or ham
pered the gentlemen in coming to-
gether in some voluntary agree
ment to end this monstrous condi-
ton?
If there is any logic in Mr. Lipp-
mann's position why wouldn't it be
just as pertinent to say that the
more prosperous and public spirited
members of the steel industry or of
cotton or coal or sugar might be
counted on to get together and
make a gentlemen's agreement to
shorten hours and raise wages?
A very famous gentlemen's agree
ment was made in the White House
year or so after Herbert Hoover
came into power All the great cap
tains of industry were summoned
and pledged themselves not to cut
wages, since it would intensity the
panic and deepen the depression.
In some cases the pledge was OBJ

A THOUGH they have the idea
L n that masculine life centers
around them, men in America are
only moderately interested in
women" says Joseph Hergesheimer,
the eminent novelist.
The use Of the word moderately"
is, I believe, an exaggerat on. Ameri-
can men really are not interested in
women at all. That is, they are not
interested in us as women.
We appeal to them as buyers"
for their tremendous productive
endeavors: as mothers to bring up
their children; as stenographers,
who look after the details Of their
business; or as sweethearts with
whom they can indulge their
emotional and amorous fancies, but
as mere human beings, the other
half Of themselves, they do not see
US at all.

to ABILITY

THERE never has been any slg-
l. gestion that precisely the same
burden should be imposed on every
paper regardless of its size or the
potentialities of the territory which
it served. But it will be an ex-
tremely faulty code if every single
publication is not called upon TO
perform some part in aiding recov-
cry by increasing wages and short
ening working hours.
The gesture of voluntary sacri-
fee already has begun to bog
down in New York. A number of
newspapers announced that with

would establish the f1ve-day forty

original gesture.

VICTORY IN DEFEAT

FERDINAND PECORA has won the admira-
ton of his fellow citizens in the last half
dozen months, and they share in his disap-
pointment over his failure to win election to
the job of district attorney in Manhattan. But
there's bright side to his defeat, after all.
If he had been elected district attorney he
would have had to stop acting as counsel for
the senate stock market committee; and it is
a little bit hard, off-hand, to- think of any
other man who could do as good job in that
position as he has been doing.
AS it is, he can remain in that post, where
there is great deal of very valuable and i'm
portant work for him to do. His loss, in this
particular instance, looks very much like the
nations gain.
Manhattan may have failed to get a first
rate prosecutor, but the senate committee can
keep an unusually able investigator.

In Praise Of PrOprietOrs

NEWSPAPER owners are neither
IN rogues nor rascals. They are
business men. It is my belief that
they rate above the proprietors in
many other industries On the
whole. their sense of social respon-
sibility is greater than that Of coal
magnateS or steel barons. I have
known several who were distinctly
idealistic in their attitude toward
the public welfare. But I never met
one who was exactly what you
might call a fanatic about it.
The newspaper industry is fierce
~ competitive. I think it would be
not only ridiculous but quite unfair
to single out any small group of
owners and say:
I'VE expect you to establish and
maintain wages and working condi-
tions we'll above those which prevail
at present, but, of course, some Of
your less fortunate competitors are
going to be allowed to run Wild
In fairly short time the gougers
and the chiseIers would be the sue
cessful proprietors, and you would
have to call on an entirely new set
of gentlemen to make the next
agreement.

Johnny was no longer young and

re- THERE is anybody in the wide
l world who wants to know all that

Fox. Some folks like to find out
all they can just through idle Gu
riosity. One of the first things old
Granny Fox taught Reddy when he
was little was that the more you
know about the affairs of other peo-
pie, the greater is the chance that
sooner or later you will be able to
profit by your knowledge. So Reddy
Fox never willingly or knowingly
allows to slip by chance to learn
something of his neighbors and their
affairs.

seemed to him. And you remem-
Der how Reddy Fox had discovered
that new house. And how he said
that 1t couldn't suit him better pos

so was that he saw at a glance that
the wall was too high for Johnny
to see over even when he sal up. and
so 1t would be an easy matter to
creep up behind that wall and watch
