NEWSPAPERS
FAVORED In
ROTARY TALK
3. p. GARRETT. OF EDITORIAL
RESEARCHERS, SAYS HARD
FOR EDITORS TO RIP INTO
CROOKS

Reviewing the opinions of the
greatest neWspapermen Of the
present era, Bert P. Garrett, con-
nccted with the Editorial Re
S11 cheers Bureau, a newspaper
Bureau at Washington, D. c., de-
clared a decided favorable opin-
ION toward newspaper policies in
d talk before the Rotary Club
luncheon yesterday.
Regarding the query of citizens
in every town of the United
States, why don't our newspaper
RIP INTO the crooks in our town.,
Mr.. Garrett pointed out that the
usual policy of a newspaper edl-
tor was to seek to undermine evil
influences and establishments in
the city but with a careful eye
on the law of libel, which, if Vio-
lated, would get him in trouble.
Thele are very strict penalties
for undermining anyone'S self Or
business reputation and an editor
has not very much leeWay in his
attacks on any scandal or misdo-
ing, Garnet said.
That larger advertisers have
great say IN depressing news IN
the paper or in determining edi-
tolial policy, is fact which has
been greatly enlarged beyond its
Significance, Mr.. Garnett said.
The speaker stated he believed
that a few isolated instances
caused this statement to be gen
cralizcd over the entire neWspa-
per industry.
Primarily, as Editor Howard of
Scripps-HoWard fame, said, d
newspaper is q business institu-
ton TO make money; it must have
readcr-lntereat to boost its cir
culation and then the advertisers
will begin flocking to the paper,
Garrett continued.
One fault OF present neWspa-
pcrs is that they are following too
much tradition. A poll showed
that more people buy for the
comics and feature sections Of the
Sunday newspaper than the news
in the same issue. Newspapers
of the future it is generally be-
lieved will be sent by Wirephoto
and printed by the offset process,
a high speed work which will not
require much type preparation.
The wirephoto will be blown
up" into newspaper sheet size,
Garnett concluded.
J. j. Trevor, who introduced
the speaker, said that he believed
the freedom of the press was de-
termined by the power of the
press, and cited foreign dictator
newspapers as examples of d
controlled press.

A. 1t was the only way that it could be done here
There is no reason why that should any perne-

DO absolutely no disadvantage because another six
months -- as soon you have the 45O paid-up SUBJ

feel this way about it: If we ere going to
start nother cooperative town somep1ace on this
sane basis, think the best thing would be to set
these stores in the coma1rit and hen instead of
having cooperative organizing committee you would
have cooperative organi zati that people could

directly buying shares Of stock in the cooperative.

Strange Facts
Of Three Faiths
Move Up 20 Minutes i
. Lucky Death Chair .

China and Japan possess some
400, 100000 people, or one-fifth of
the population of the world, who
profess and practice two or three
religions at the same time. Most
Chinese are adherents of two, if
not all three, of their native faiths
Buddhism, Confucianism and
Taoism-while the majority of
Japanese follow both of their pop
ular religions - Buddhism and
Shintoism.
All countries do not move their
tinepieces ahead one hour in OBJ

Zealand, for one, advances it's
clocks 80 minutes, while several
West African colonies advance
theirs only 20 minutes.

New York. Jacobs future plans
were built around Louis, and John
stOn knew that if Louis looked bad
in the fight it would be direct blow
at Jacobs. The plan, if such there
was, worked out in pretty fair fash
ion.
Louis muffed every opportunity to
catch Pastor and knock him out. The
fight demonstrated that he didn't
know how to carry the attack to an
opponent. Though Pastor was a
laughingstock, Louis dropped few
points in the public's estimation.
Too, there is the chance of re-
verse strategy. In view of the pre-
vious fight, and taking the 20 rounds
into consideration as merely bluff,
Johnston might send Pastor out
lunging at the sound of the opening
bell. In that case the spectators
would be sure of getting home early.
Louis will merely refuse to coop
crate with the Johnston-Pastor cam
paign.
1t wasn't long ago that Gene Tun-
ney sang Bob's praises. Albeit with
reservations. The former champion
gave Pastor credit for being able to
think, and called him the only one
of today's heavyweights with even
an outside chance of beating Louis,
Lacks a Punch

mostly cold. He is fast, shifty and
ring-wise. But he hasn't a danger
GUS punch. And to step into the
ring against Louis minus a lethaI
wallop is tantamount to roping a
wild bull with daisy chain.
Manager Jimmy was as happy as
diplomat with a new umbrella
when his man went the route with
Louis. That's one reason why the
next fight is likely to pursue the
same lines. Bob hasn't the punch
ing power to trade with the champ,
and unless he back-pedals away
from Joe he seems doomed to end up

Promoter Jacobs says the fight
will draw 100000 at the gate, and
early in August claimed to have
orders for more than 1000 seats at
$27.5O per copy. Professor Jacobs
is undoubtedly optimistic, but the
fight will have a good box office.
Detroit is one Of the best sport towns
of the nation, and the event will
draw heavily from Chicago, st. Lou

speaking of Sports
Bicycle Bob to
Race Champ in
20 Round Meet
By ROBERT McSHANE

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.).
THE present breathing spell in
heavyweight circles will end any
day now when the publicity TOM
toms start laundering out their bal
lyhoo for the Pastor-Louis heavy
weight championship fight in Detroit
September 20.
Bicycle Bob is going to get one
more chance with the Brown Bomb
er. His first opportunity came on
January ~, 1887, in New York, when
Louis won the decision after 10
rounds in which PASTORS sole strate-
gy was well-planned retreat. 1t was
an awesome spectacle, to say the
least. Bob managed to keep well
out of striking distance, leaving
both dignity and his opponent as
far back of him as the ring ropes
would allow.
The Detroit bout is scheduled to
go 20 rounds. Jimmy Johnston, Pas
tors canny manager, insisted on it
for reasons best known to himself.
His insistence indicates that he
plans another footrace, and wants
as much time as possible in which
his fighter will have a chance to
wear Joe down and tire him out.
Other fighters have tried to keep
out of Joe's range, but have been
singularly unsuccessful. The brown
boy from down Alabama way has
overtaken and tagged each one of
them. Joe is popularity supposed to
have picked up few pointers from
Henry Armstrong. Pointers which
will help him overtake the feetest.
Pastors Alibi
Of course, Pastor has an alibi for
the 1887 shambles. Or at least the
voluble Johnston has one for him.
At the time of the fight Pastor was
more or less a stooge because of the
rivalry that existed between john
ston and Mike Jacobs, both Of whom
were seeking to control boxing in
