Great Editors
S. K. Ratcliffe, a noted English journalist who
has been lecturing at Vale university,, remarked
in closing these addresses, on the- great changes
which recent years have brought in' tho newspaper
field, and spoke about some of the greatest editors,
men like Horace Greeley, Joseph Pulitzer, William
R. Nelson, etc. He felt that the modern newspaper
tends to bcoftíe mofe of a business affair, .with less
prominence fof the personality of the editor.
It would be hard to speak too emphatically of
the wonderful influence exerted in past years by
the great thinkers of the editorial world.
But
the increased cost of publishing newspapers has
made the business end of every such publication
a tremendously vital thing.
It needs the -same
capacity for systematizing its operations and selling
its product, that is necessary to the success of any
business concern. The day of the old . time editor
why dreamed over national and world problems
while his accounts remained uncollected and his
business was undeveloped, has long since passed,
And yet the newspaper world is not going to
forget that, the people look to it for leadership. A
newspaper without ideas is something like a business
man without general intelligence.
He may go
through the routine motion^ of his trade fairly well,
but the limitations of his mentality are felt, and his
business does hot get far.
Some may claim that the day of great editors
has gone, and yet one could go through the news
papers of the state of Oregon and name many

Indecent Literature
Something of a stir iB caused in the book
world by the recent action of the Boston police in
suppressing the sale of a number of books, which
are thought to be immoral or Indecent.
The immediate result of such suppression, is
that unless it is uniform all over the country, the
sale of such books is greatly increased. Probably
all these books will now be much more in. demand
in most places W’here no action is taken against
them. If a book is really Immoral, one excellent way
to advertise it and increase its sales, is to have
it suppressed in a few cities, and then the orders
begin to pour in for it.
Some critics would condemn a book which was
written with a perfectly good motive, in the effort
»ter show the misery and unhappiness that results
from sex offenses, and the general effect of that
book might be good. And yet some would say that
because it deals frankly with situations which form
erly were discussed only in whispers and snickers,
therefore the book was immoral. And these same
critics might let pass some book the effect of which
was thoroughly demoralizing, but which would get
by because its allusions were somewhat veiled.
Of course there h$s to be some limit to the
kind of literature that.can be tolerated, Many books
and magazines are being circulated and read by
great numbers of children and young peopld, whieh
are filling their minds with dirt and there should lie
a nation wide movement to pot such publications out
of business.
There are people who will write anything of
the most revolting coarseness, if they can make a.
dollar by it, and there are people who will publish
it, and many who like dirt will buy it. It would
be a fine thing if the book and publishing trades
could censor their own productions, and refuse the
privileged of the trade to those who seem inclined

Tax Reduction
It is rather wonderful the way the income tax
money kcejw piling into the United States treasury.
It now seems quite likely that tho surplus for the
present fiscal year will amount to the great suiu of
$600,000,000 or more. If Congress were in session,
it would be quite a temptation to spend a share of
that money for lots of good projects. Bnt the i»eoplc
as a whole say it would better he used in paving off
more of the great debt.
Although taxes have been sharply reduced, the
revenues keep high. That is a suggestion that lower
taxes sometimes produce liiore money.
