The more brilliant, spectacular stunts gain more publicity, even if foolish and unim portant, than the issues that affect everybody. ' No , careful discrimina tion is made in selecting a public leader. The fickle public selects the bright and picturesque and not the real leader. Canal swimmers and ocean flyers gain as much publicity or more than important issues of nation wide effect. The newspapers must play to the public for success and so they can not be censored. There is only one thing that can be Warned and that is the people as a whole The majority, the ruling percentage is evidently at fault. - It is impossible to criticize the desires and wants of over half the populace but it seems wrong that some hero or idol of the public is directly dependent on some little known figure for his popularity, The public picks the figure that at tracts them and leaves unnoticed the true hero who has sacrificed mora perhaps than the figure who receives the plaudits of the public.
