Journal insists that there is a 'groat fight" in progress

bosses and that wo are unable to realize how "erious" tho
present situation is. No one, apparently, in the whole
state is. quite itblc lo realize how serious it is, except the
Journal. -
i That is always the ca.se not only in this political cam
paign but in al political campaigns.' It' has lo be. If
"great fights" were not imagined in' progress, if things
were not imagined tremendously "serious," what in the
world would we do for political issues? Where would we
turn for conversation on a warm spring day when street
corners have preference over gardens? Perhaps we usedl
the phrase "kidding Hie public" inadvisedly in our previous'
paragraph.-, rerhaps we should have said thai the Journal
is "kidding itself,", which would be more apt and would not
deny that paper's sincerity in discussing the various public
problems of the day. :' '

Of course they think that a great fight is in progress, day. 1 .
that there is grave danger 'of tho people being, cheated out
oi.tneir just rights by political bosses. They arc sincere
in .the belief and sincere' in' their protestation of its im
portance. All party newspapers are afflicted that waver-most
of them. They have lo be. People can't be' al
lowed to get in a' rut. And party organs have to have
,'some kind of a red flag to wave around at least every
jothcr year. Kusinew; and the ordinary routine of ordinary
news might get moiiolmimi.s. Heating a tin pan nut iii
front is a frequent and natural mode of expression for some
journalists. They were bmn and trained that way. Of
icourse it isn't always as serious as they think it is, but
'it Cesn't do serious harm -and it often saves a political
campaign from the throes of eternal monotony.
