What the Editors Say.

t
“The public recalls the fiasco at
Vera Cruz and the unpardonable act
in lifting the embargo on arms that
our soldiers should meet death from
guns furnished to assassins by per­
mission of our own government ”
says Congressman Crago. “In this so-
called ‘peace’ more lives have been
lost and more money spent than was
sacrificed in the war with Spain. If
we are at ‘peace’ should more than a
hundred thousand of our boys be pay­
ing the price of war, taken from
home and families, to play the game
of peace? If we have been kept from
war by any magic of the president,
then how does it happen that Spaing
Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Hol­
land and Denmark, countries much |
nearer the Europena conflict than we ;
are, have been able to maintain
peace? Sheridan Sun.
It would seem that there must be
some foundation for the _
___ _
presistent
peace talk that is going on? Where
there is so much smoke there must be
some fire. That Germany is ready for
peace—on her own terms, of course_
is very evident, but it remains to be
seen whether th Allis are ready to
stop or whether they will persist in
their declared intention to finish once
for all the military question i„
in Eu-
rope by disarming Germany. Nearly
all neutral nations have had enough
of the war, but as they are not much
interested in the vital sense, it is
doubtful whether the fighting nations
will pay much attention to their
wishes. Europe is in a death grip, and
when men reach the stage that the
men of Europe are in today, there is
little hope of swerving them from
their course until some definite and
decided advantage is won by one or
the other party to the war.—Forest
Grove, News-Times.
among the school children and having

I The time is a good time. This is a
year of peculiar prosperity. Ameri­
cans have made money hand over fist
tor two years. It should be available
for savings. This is the time of all
times to prepare for the possible lean
years which may come after the flood
of buying by Europe has ebbed. After
the war will come cruel competition

Free Publicity.
----- o-
One of the problems with - which
the newspaper is constantly comront-
ifront-
eu is what to do with the great vol­
ume of press agent matter which
come to it. The uninformed outsider
will not believe, unless he saw it with
his own eyes, how much stuff is sent
to the papers of the country for free
publication. Every variety of organi-
zation, from business houses to mo-
tion picture syndicates, is forever ap­
pealing to the newspapers to print
something about its particular pet
and personal objects, and asks for the
ire publicity as if it had a perfect
right to do it.
^n,jbe best of times the newspapers
would be compelled to turn down the
requests of those who seek good ad­
vertising space for nothing, but now
when print paper is at premium and
all papers are fighting for their ex­
istence, it is more imperative than
ever to withhold space for ligitimate
news.
It should be plain to everyone, and
most of all to the clever press agents
trying to obtain something for noth-
in<r, that the present crisis in the pa­
per trade, if nothing else, would de­
bar them from columns of the papers.
But the free publicity
literature
comes to the editor’s desk in greater
density than ever—and the waste
basket in consequence is just a trifle
fuller each day. In these ' perlious
times of scarcity of print paper, what
a terrible waste it is.—St. Paul Dis­
patch.

Because during the first ten months
of the Wilson-Underwood law there
were more unemployed being fed by
charity than during any ten months
in our history, excepting under the
Wilson-Gorman act.
Because of the inconsistency on the
immigration bill. In his “History of
the American People,” vol 5, p 213,
he wrote: “The Chinese were more to
be desired as workmen, if not as citi­
zens, than most of the coarse crew
that came crowding in every year at
the Eastern ports."
Because he has not reduced, as he
promised, the high cost of living, but
has actually made it higher. •
Because he was pledged to a single
term by the Baltimore convention,
but before the type was cold he was
building up his fences for another.
Because, although posing as an ad­
vocate of civil service, every act of
his as president in connection with
civil service has been adverse to the
principles, obstructive and destructive
of its bonafide practice.

Gompers and Wilson.
o------
Samuel Gompers is now for Wilson.
He approves he president's course in
the brotherhood's strike and de­
nounces any attempt at legislation to
compel compulsory arbitration, He
opposes Mr. Hughes chiefly on the
ground that, as a member of the su-
preme court, he participated in the
decisions in the Danbury hatters’ and
Arizona anti-alien-law cases, which
he feels to have been unfavorable to
labor.
Samuel’s position is interesting, but
for whom is it making most votes?
Organized labor has suddenly, come
to figure as a powerful threat. Would
Samuel Gompers have us all under­
stand that a vote for Wilson is a
vote to give organized labor anything
it wants, and to discipline the su­
preme court for decisions that offend
it?
