Fpenctr ol' the University of Washington: J'ew people in the average city appreciate the value of H newspaper to a town. I, ike I lowers, they are appre- -e wi'ki do not have them. I ,ike mothers, noi.st when thev are gone. ok upon ;i newspaper as the business of a . If it thrives, that is the owner's or the It ;t tails, tuat also is tlie owner As a matter of fact, the success or a matter of grave concern to an entire or ui- ci.il ed iiiosi by I i ihev are wanic Most people li .ingle individual editor's business editor s business lire of a paper is town. 1 f it were not lor our newspapers, rujnor and' gossip would run riot oer the world. Everyone knows how. a simple question asked by someone often is made a state ment by another, how that statement is distorted by a sec ond or enlarged by a third, and bow it goes on and on until people do not know what to believe. Sometimes such a story gels so big that the only way it can be stopped is by something coming nut in the paper and staling the precise truth. Such conditions we should, have constant!- if it were not for our newspapers. Newspapers, too, are the best advertisement a citv has 111 the outside world. Other cities judge a town by the 1 ers. so did President Coolidge kind ol a newspaper it has. II it is supported we the news and the advertising patronage it ought it thrives and is able to present an appearance of pros perity for the town to the outside world. If it does not thrive, outsiders are inclined to look upon the town as undesirable to live in, and so move on to other cities. Newspapers are also our chief source of information. Most of our reading matter .after we leave school comes from the newspapers. What we know about the presi- means to an end. I-or centuries the common law which we inherited from our free English forefathers has held a sound and deep ideal of the safety of the person. .It says that if you shake your list in a man's face, without inflicting any actual violence upon him. you nevertheless commit an assault. hen a secret organization parades in disguise in a public street it shakes its fist in the public's face. It threatens a breach of the law. It asserts superiority to the law and it defies the public to protect itself. There 'can be 110 parlev with this kind of lawbreaker, nor can he be listened to with patience when he says that his only object is the public's good, and that he flogs and tars and feathers individuals with the sole idea of making them better. '1 here is no ideal in tlie conception that an organized minority like a labor union shall be given everything it asks ior, regardless of justice, m order to "satisfy" it.

Suppose he put it this way: it you strike and cut oil tne public s supply ot anthra cite I shall proceed to enforce the Pennsylvania miners' license law. It requires that every licensed miner shall have answered twelve questions in English on practical mining. 1 shall have every holder of a license interrogated, and you know how many there are who could not answer two questions in English, or any subject whatever. I shall cancel all illegally held licenses forthwith and institute prosecutions of the men who granted them. At the same time 1 shall call the Pennsylvania Assembly in special ses sion to repeal the license law, which guarantees your labor monopoly." .

SENATOR McNARY ON TIMBER TAXES "Lower Timber Taxes Is Topic," reads a headline in a Portand newspaper and in the text following Senator Charles I.. McXary is quoted as saying at a club luncheon the other day that "the state should make it easier for timber owners." 1 1 the senator could devise some scheme whereby east ern ( )rcgon wheat farms would be classified as timber lands his suggestion woujd meet with hearty approval in Portland 1 his part ol the state. Timber owners and lumbermen aire about the onlv people in ( Iregoii who are eujov ing much prosperity just now and why their taxes should he reduced while the wheat grower is struggling between the devil and mortgaged lands and crops and high taxes and the deep blue sea of financial oblivion, the senator saveth not.

The platform has seen orators discussing the "duty" of the Klan. W hat is tlie duty which a law breaker owes to a community? It is strict compliance with the laws of the land, and if he fails then he should he brought to hook, fined or imprisoned according to the Statutes uf the various States and of the .Nation. i The lu Klux Klan represents no American ideals. It is composed of lawless members, and the heads of the organi zation are conspirators against the law of the Nation and the States. Their only possible "duty" is to disband and go out of business, If the burglar who holds you, up in your own house ex plains thai he only does so because you are not Protestant, in because you have negro blood in your veins, he does not thereby establish rights in the profession of burglary which the law i bound to respect. There is nothing more iuischie oils and nothing which has done more barm in the past ten years than this .si me twaddle about ideals.
