PRESIDENT OF NEWSPAPER
SOCIETY ADVISES EDITORS
American Journalism The Most
Dependable Source of Public
Information

At Washington, D. c., on last Thurs
day, William Allen White advised
Americas newspaper editors to re
serve their "excess steam heat for
Stain, Mussolini and Hitler and mot
emote too heavily" about political is
sues at home.
The noted editor of the Emporia
(Kansas) Gazette and president of the
American Society of Newspaper Edi-
tors said he was not speaking about
old-line political controversies but
about fundamental new questions in
volving property rights.
DEPENDABLE SOURCE
White made the suggestion in a
speech prepared for the opening ses-
sion of the society's convention, dur
ing which he called American newspa-
pers "the most dependable source of
public information"
"In this country" he said, "Ameri-
can journalism, with all its faults, and
there are many, is the only free, I'M
fettered, Embossed, unlicensed vehicle
through which one way or another fl
nally and surely the truth comes to the
American people"
Property rights, he continued, are
being narrowed-a process which he
said would continue "as new inven-
lions produce new moralities and re-
quire new checks to establish a fair
balance in the relation between the
dollar and the man"
White said the Unconscious atti-
tude toward the property which is the
investment in our business, is what
makes US seem to be unfair to those
who are seeking these new reforms in
property rights.
eve can well afford to print both
sides, to editorialize after the dictates
of our own conscience. But we should
also not emote too heavily. Nothing is
gained by working up temperature,
by juggling our hair shirts.
eve can say what we want more
convincingly if we are kind than if we
are all hot and bothered. We can re-
serve our excess heat for Stain, Mus
solini and Hitler. We can rage if we
will against sin and the sales tax and
political corruption and other devices
of the devil"
THREAT TO DEMOCRACY
Declaring that "a threat to democ-
racy is abroad in the world" White
said:
eve are developing a class-con-
sciOus prOletariat. 1t was bad
enough in the days of the big bull
market of the twenties to main
tain the idle rich. But if, in addi-
ton, we of the middle classes
have to maintain the idle poor and
then the idle rich, sooner or later
our resources will be gone"
Whites speech set the keynote Of
the convention. He previously had an
nounced that the major purpose this
year would be to analyze reader criti-
cisms of newspapers and try to find
out whether the press was falling down
on the job.

sively prove that the less you smoke
the longer you live.
Charles Ricket, winner of a Nobel
Prize, and in physiology, too, said:
II have fettered myself with this
habit with no better excuse than
universal folly. 1 injure my appe-
tite, my memory, my sleep and the
action of my heart by breathing
noXious vapors."
Whether all of this is true. I Sc
riously doubt. A recent study pub
lished in the Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association indicated
that tobacco had no bad effect on the
alimentary tract; that digestion
went on at the same speed and with
the same efficiency with tobacco as
without it.
Can't Believe It
So with sleeping; hardly believe
tobacco keeps people awake. In the
manyphysiological experiments that
have been made on sleep in the last
few years, every experimenter
agrees that the use or omission of a
cigarette or cigar before bedtime
has no effect on the quality of sleep.
The criterion of how much harm
tobacco does is the number of peo-
pie who use it. The habit is so uni
versal that if it did all the harm
claimed for it, we would be hag-
gard, weary, pallid, dying race. And
in spite Of claims to the contrary,
we are not.
Carlisle perhaps put it best. "I
was miserable with it, and miser-
able without" he said. "I'd rather
be miserable with it,"
If you would like to give the habit
up, however, according to.Dr. J. C.
Furnas in his little book, So You're
Going to Stop Smoking (Simon &
Schuster), it is very easy.

Answer-How do you know you

Everybody has uric acid in his sys.
tenn. The normal amount of uric
acid is two milligrams per 1000 cc
of blood. If it rises above five milli.
grams you have an excessive uric
acid. This can be very accurately
determined. I do not believe from
your letter that you know whether
you have too much uric acid in your
system or not. The ordinary diet
for uric acid issto abstain from purin
foods - liver, kidney, sweetbreads
