A TWISTED IDEA
To "give the public what it wants" is an impos
sible order for a newspaper editor. Moralists of a
type propose to prevent the publication of the news
of crime. But when a few newspapers experiment
with this idea they find that the majority of readers
do not want news denatured.
This whole "crimeless" agitation is twisted in the
minds of newspaper men and others urging it. There
is no legitimate complaint against the publication 'of
real news of crime, but there is legitimate complaint
against newspapers that glorify crime, titillate the
lower elements of society with exaggerated "hero
ism' of sneaks and brutes, excite sexual appetite with
lewd word and picture, and pander to the cheapest
human curiosity.
It is queer that newspapers which are about as
blameless as any in the land should be the ones to
take upon themselves the implied burden of guilt
Involved in crimeless news experiments." This alone
is proof that editors are not clear on this subject .
No honest editor should attempt to give the public
what it wants. He cannot lend his type to indecency,
and unquestionably large sections of the public .want
just that. He cannot yield to the restrictive demands
of theorists, however sincere, who do not understand
the processes of civilization half so well as does thr
practical editor because they are not in touch with
life in all its phases.
There is a rule which governs newspaper edit
ing, superseding all others. It is the application of
the conscientious intelligence of a trained editor who
seeks to tell the public all the news of the day that
may be decently told.

The one hundred and fiftieth year of American
Independence will begin on July 4th. . .Which is to
say that on July 4, 1926, these United States of Am
erica will be one hundred and fifty years old.
It will be the most important birthday America
has had since 1876. And following it, there will
not be another birthday calling for a great organized
celebration until 1976, and that's too far ahead to
worry about "
July 4, 1925, will give us all a fine opportunity
to stage a dress rehearsal. Let's go!
Ever , read the Declaration of Independence?
You can do it in five minutes. And that five min
utes will give you a glorious picture of the road Am
erica has traveled, and the spirit in which she has
trayeled it, in one hundred and fifty years.

BIG DAILIES VANISHING
. s There seems to be a race on between Mr. Mun
sey of New York, and Mr. Curtis of Philadelphia,
to see who can buy the largest number of big met
ropolitan dailies. It may be that in a few years four
or five men will own and control all the large dalies
ih"6ur country. The country weeklies and small
city dailies remain the big independent group of
newspapers. There are some 14,000 of these pub
lished and read in the homes of the people and
reaching a majority of the population.

Dominant .Rank in
Motor Car Industry
Since Ihe name Walter P. Chrys
ler, through the Chrysler car, flnit
became known to the public, it ha
grown to a position of commanding
importance in the automobile in
dustry. Men competent to judge
have since declared that at the rate
ha is going and the progress his or
ganization is making, he is rapidly
establishing himself as the out
standing new figure In the Industry.
It is onlr to the publl.- at lnrife
that Walter I'. cliijKb-r I- a nc.v
tlgure in 'the making and merchan
dising of motor cars. Within the
industry he has been known more
than a dozen years as one of Its
leading men. Since he assumed a
position of outstanding importance
in the nation's largest industry,
nearly 2.00C.0UO cars have been
built and sold under his leadership.
It should be said here, to appre
ciate the singularity of the man,
that the magnitude of his operations
and Interests Is larger than that of
any other American, with perhaps
a half dozen or ten exceptions. '
But visitors who have seen him
spend hours at a time about the
Chrysler plants are Inclined to agree!
with those closest to him that the
Chrysler car holds for him an af
fection second only to that of his
family. Practically every visit he
makes to the plants Is the occasion
for a personal checkup to see that
the quality of the Chrysler car not
only Is maintained, but constantly
Improved. '
ms lieutenants insist that a con
siderable share of the tremendous
success the car has created for Itself
is due to his personal attitude.
