That particular trait which is pre-
valent in most all of us, is detri-
mental to progress; it is what makes
cooperation with our fellowmen so
laggard. Until that vein of selfish
ness is lessened and until we can
stand" to have our pictures taken
without being so assuming in the act
this old world will still remain pretty
much the same. We must get over it
all of us for as stated before, the
most of us have it.
In discussing this topic, we are re-
minded of an article which appeared
in print recently. TIE article stated
that while travelling to Chicago GER
tain artist telegraphed ahead to a
friend to notify the press that he was
coming. Upon arrival he went qui X
ly to the Art Institute where he had
himself photographed beside one of
his paintings. During the procedure
his wife remarked that it was simply
awful because he had to submit to
the same process everywhere.

DISCRETION

This country is first, last and al
ways for freedom of speech and free
dom of the press and radio, but there
are times when discretion should be
used. That is, in treatment of kid
naping cases. Recent news dispatches
state that the chamber of commerce
in Tacoma, Wash, censUred the press
and radio because as it charged, they
made gross mistakes which may have
prevented the return of the Mattson
boy alive from his kidnaper.
The censure named such errors as
shadowing the home day and night
by newsmen, the incessant trailing of
the boys father around the city by the
same newsmen, the playing up of the
words, mansion" and "rich," and the
publication of the alleged ransom
note.
Newsgathering agencies can do a
world of good if discretion is used,
but those same agencies can do a
world of harm if that which is SEN
sational is placed as their standard.
Far be it from the time when we ever
shall have censure, but our privilege
OF freedom of speech, press and radio
should not be violated at the expense
OF justice and human life.
