J A NEWSPAPER'S FUNCTION
NO NEWSPAPER of general circulation can survive
and prosper for any considerable length of time
unless it serves the general public- interest.
;This is the basic law of 'newspaper existence, i
- The bulk of criticism , of the great dailies is di
rected at them because they ace obeying this law. In
every community, in the whole-country, there, are many
"minorities. They range in ' number from a'handful to
minorities of formidable size. Some represent very
powerful interests and classes. Some are very highly
organized, having expert representatives whose liveli- .
hoods depend upon the cultivation of discontent in
group or class they are employed; to represent to stim
ulate its suspicions, to intensify its belief- in its own
wrongs and magnify its sense of its own special in
terests. . -; . .
: .This is a statement of fact, an outstanding fact '
in American affairs. It is indeed a necessary pro-
' ceeding. It represents ' probably the only practical
hieans; by which "a 'dehiocratici. 'people express and "'de-'
fend and further their various interests. It accom
plishes a great deal of good, bub, like. all -things human,
it has its defects as well as its merits. ; ; -.
The chief of these is that in proportion as the de
mands of a minority are organized and inflamed, the
minority becom'es. heedless of the general good, resent- ,
ful of criticism ' or dissent, and determined to enforce
its interests without consideration of others' rights or
of the general welfare. ", '. : ; .'
It consequently comes into conflict with any news
paper which obeys the basic law. of 'the .newspaper's
ex.stence. Neved do these. impassioned minorities give
credit to a newspaper, which does not accept their views
for fulfilling its.-duty. If. in a controversy between
farmers and railroads the interests of transportation or
of the general public in transportation are considered .
and asserted,'-; the farmers attack the newspaper vas
agent of the railroads, conspiring for pay against the
farmer. : If the newspaper urges the farmers' measures
there is the charge that it is playing the demagogue
for the sake of circulation and resultant profits. Every
group, whether its interests be financial, political, re
ligious.or social,' wishes the newspaper to express and
further that interest, and interprets any presentation
of opposing consideration as evidence of the news-r
paper's venality. , ; '.
' - Especially in a period such as that through which -we
are passing, partisanism is rampant. The war has
.created or rather revived in a highly inflamed state
all sorts of loyalties drawn from the traditions and
sentiments of minorities having nothing whatever to
. do with American intreests. These minorities are im
passioned and highly organized, and they represent '
a considerable disturbance of our political affairs and
if they did not counteract one another would have an
influence upon American policy in no degree directed
by American interests. -
; ;.; Toward the newspaper which grounds its thought .'
Upon an, American basis and tries conscientously to :'
see things from the viewpoint of American interest,
these minorities "turn a resentful and uncomprehending (.'
-. hostility. As in the case of the other groups referred'1'
to, each demands partisanship of its own variety and , :
it : is not forthcoming charges bias, conspiracy, andV
venality.
: . - If all these minorities combined represented public
opinion and their partisanism were as influential as
it is intense, no newspaper conscientiously represent
ing general American interests and trying honestly to
take the general view, could survive. But the contrary
is , true. The newspaper of general appeal must pre
sent all sides in its news report and its editorial policy
must be faithful to what it believes to be the common ,
good. In proportion as it is true to this duty, it is
attacked by all partisans, at one moment, or another,
Js charged, with disloyalty when it is most faithful, with
venality while it is most incorruptible. ;
,. .- Obeying, this law it serves its .purpose in the com
munity and prospers. Disobeying it it eventually dies.

WHEN PATRIOTISM COSTS
ORDINARY people who are considered to be
patriotic, do not commonly make any great
sacrifices for this ideal, save in times of emergency
like a war. . They show respect to the flag, support
the institutions of their country and ara good Am
ericans, but such acts and sentiments do not usually
involve great sacrifices.
There are times though ; when this sentiment
' costs tremendously high. The forefathers on July .
4, 1776 set an example of this spirit that is a model
for all time., These men who met to declare the in
dependence of this country,, risked everything they
cherished, including life itself, but they, thought
nothing, of 6uch, fears. Their only idea,, was how
they might serve; the land which had Jb&brne jdear:.
to them. v-v ' : ? .' ;.;;;-:'
The ard duties today, calling for loyalty and ,
devotion to America and American ideals, for sac
rifice of ease and money in pursuit of duty.
Tomorrow is a wonderful anniversary in the
history of America and of the world. In the, midst
of tomorrow's noise and celebration, set aside a few
minutes for serious thought on the meaning of the
- day. . ..'.'''' .. f': '

He has been Invited to visit the

. The clang ot ' the gong! Tho

the whistle! Tho dash of tho plung
ing horses tearing down the street!
The surgo of the roaring engines,
belching smoke and ..Humes! The
rush of excited throngs In the wake

All of which gives but a hint of
the smashing notion and vivid drama
of "Tho Third Alarm," Emory John
son's stupendous master-melndrama
ot the lives ot firemen and the per
ils they undergo In the routine of
their dally duties.
A companion-picture to the mem
orable "In the Name of the Law,"
which paid a glowing tribute to the
policemen of America, "The Third
Alarm," bestows a similar compli
ment upon the fire-fighters. It shows,
by means of a tremendously dramatic
narraUve, how one veteran flromnn
gave lils utmost to his job how he
poured his soul into his work. When
his eyes grew dim from the passing
years, he was discarded along with
his favorite old horse "Bullet," new
-no longer useful with the advent of
motorized apparatus. Tt's at the
