Omitting" a few papers that are a comedy of errors for the reason that the editors are not competent and are as much out of place as a blacksmith j ? i ..t . i r practicing law, me greater numoer oi papers are as accurate as could be expected; it is a wonder there are not more mistakes in them. The news columns of a paper cannot be entirely free from error. The editor and reporters receive their in formation first hand from the people and they have found that a number of people! cannot be de pended upon to truthfully impart the information that the newspapers want. Some in telling a "story" to a newspaper man omit important parts, others exaggerate and a few falsify. It may be done consciously or unconsciously and with or without purpose. A competent editor considers it his duty and does his best to make his paper as reliable as possible, but if he falls down occasion ally in most cases it is not his fault. Typographi cal errors are charged to the proofreader and not to the editor, except in those few cases where un fortunately for the newspaper and community, the editor is incompetent, but greatly to the credit of most communities such eye sores" are not long tolerated. Most newspaper men are tair; they will gladly correct any false or misleading state- meuts that inadvertently appear". Typographical errors are corrected if the correction will benefit anyone, tho sometimes a correction makes matters worse. The Williamsville, N. I)., Item recently contained this statement: We wish to apologize to Mrs. Orlando Overlook. In our paper last week we had as a heading, "Mrs. Overlook's Big Feet." The word we should have used is a French word, pronounced the, same way, but spelled tete. It means a cele bration and is considered a very tony word. Mrs. Overlook was no doubt more humiliated by the correction than she was by the original. While everybody makes mistakes and errors, the good newspaper man makes the least number of them in proportion to the opportunity. He not only has to look out for his own but those of everybody else. lieneva, Switzerland Oermany ha a real "boss" In General Ton Luden dorff. flrt qtiartennantpr Keneral.

Brigadier General ieorxe O. Squler went to Detroit, and it ia understood that the purpose of his islt was to confer with the m.uiulai-tiiicrs of au tomobiles in roKiirU to obtuining their co-operation iu the manufacture of aeroplanes. There are lew fai t'.ries in the Unit ed States tli.it liiau.iiu. ture aeroplanes, and each of the.se factories makes a different type of craft. The aggregate capacity of these factories is wholly inadequate to meet the demands of the program of the aircraft production board, and It is therefore inevitable that the manufacturers of machinery which can he used as now made or whose plants can Jie adapted most readily to making parts for aeroplanes will he requested to give precedence to the manufacture of parts suitable for aircraft.

An extract from a letter received by the Monitor makes the following comment concerning1 the political upheaval in North Dakota: uTbe Republican and Democratic party machinery was unfriendly. And so the farmers organized, and they were in dead earnest about it. They now make their own legislative plans, and they nominate candidates whom they believe will work true to their plans and when election day arrives the farmers do not allow any corporation hypnotizers to bamboozle them. They stick like brothers to their own candidates, and elect them, too. Three weeks agx, the farmers elected their first congressman to fill a vacancy. A 7,(XX) Republican majority melted away and Democratic majorities in Demo cratic counties were wiped out.' What has happened in North Dakota may happen in Oregon. The farmers are strong enough to do in Oregon what the farmers are do ing in North Dakota.
