WILL CINCH US
THE Oregon Journal has let up on its determination to
overrule the supreme court decision about riparian own
ership, long enough to let the world know that President
Wilson is wrong in his ideas about free tolls on the Pan
ama canal. It has been stated frequently, and never, so far as
we know, denied, that the coast traffic is in the hands of a big
trust, and that the giving of this gang free tolls would be just
making that bunch a present of that much money, and would
not make a cent's difference in the charges for freight. It
would operate just as the tariff "For the Protection of Ameri
can Labor" did. Labor would get the glad hand, and the big
fellow would get the money. It is graft enough to give the
American shipping trust the exclusive right to handle freight
between American coast points, without giving it a bonus for
doing so. If shipping between American coast points is to be
made free, and at the same time placed in the hands of the ship
ping trust, the outlook for any benefit from the canal is indeed
poor. You just watch the results, when the canal is opened and
see if our contention is not correct, and that the American ship
ping trust will make prices between. New York and Pacific
coast points higher than they will be between London and
the same points. This, regardless of whether the tolls are free
or not.
WHICH TOM
IF the Oregonian would agree with itself as to when we
should follow England's suggestions and when not, it would
make its editorial criticisms more easily understandable.
It blames President Wilson and the Democratic party for
not following England's lead in Mexican affairs, and blames
them persistently and unsparingly. At the same time it blames
the president and the Democrat party for agreeing with Eng
land in regard to free tolls on the Panama canal. If we should
follow England's dictation in Mexican matters, why not in the
canal affairs? If we should refuse to pay any attention to
England in canal tolls why does the big paper down the creek
insist we should follow her in Mexican affairs? Our big con
temporary is in much the same fix as our state treasurer, and
we outsiders cannot tell just which of the two Tom Kays the
Oregonian is.
WHAT IS
AST. LOUIS clergyman and a St. Louis newspaper man
have recently expressed the wish that good actions might
receive more publicity than bad ones. The wish is shared
by many people, including publishers, but reflection
shows the plan is not altogether practicable. There are two
reasons for this, says the Globe-Democrat. One is that good ac
tions are so general that it would be impossible, physically, to
publish them all. The other is that accounts of good actions, un
less they are strikingly unusual, are not as readable as ac
counts of abnormally bad actions. A newspaper could not run
a list of all the husbands who kissed their wives after break
fast. The list would be too longand they would grow monoton
ous. But the husband that blackens the eye of his wife or
smashes dishes over her head furnishes what the world calls
"news." Why an account of a fight in which some one is fa
tally stabbed is more interesting than a verbatim report of a
prayer meeting is a problem for the psychologist to wrestle
with. Rut the publisher is confronted with the fact.
A newspaper could not run a list of the automobiles who
have run nobody down duringthe day, but can keep track of
the accidents. It cannot keep track of tho thousands of acts of
kindness performed every day, but it can recite the striking
acts of cruelty. When a young woman concludes to devote her
life to conversion of the heathen of darkest africa, the fact be
comes a news item. But for somo reason the story of her de
cision is not as interesting as the account of a woman who pours
rat poison into her husband's coffee. There are certain heroic
or philanthropic acta that are of a character to arouse univor
nal interest, and such acts receive duo attention from the news
papers. Mr. Ford has won as much publicity by his profit
sharing plan for his employes as he could have secured by mur
dering his mother-in law. The signal heroism and self-sacrifice
shown in the rescue of helpless people at sea have been giv
en wide publicity and the "thrill" in the reports show that the
newspaper workers' joy in chronicling such glorious deeds.
But the fact remains that normal things do not make

KAY IS IT?
NEWS?
"news." The statesman who is merely safe and sane from the
very nature of things does not attract the atetntion drawn by
the man in public life who says and does striking things. The
"freak" bills introduced in a legislature receive many times the
publicity given bills that are sensible, even as the person who
dresses loudly or fantastically attracts more attentfbn than the
person of modest tastes. By bearing in mind these facts,
which are rooted in human nature, one may save himself from
forming hasty conclusions from the collection of world-wide
news served him before breakfast.
It sure is some revolution in more ways than one, that down
in Mexico. When barefooted peons ride in automobiles while
the former "upper classes" skurry for tall timber and denser
underbrush, it is not simply a revolution, but a reversion. If
the proverb about a beggar on horseback riding to the devil is
true, what will be the destination of a drunken Mexican peon in
an automobile?
The Marshfield Evening Record, commenting on Evangelist
Bulgin at Pendleton, says: "It is the belief of the Record that
the quiet, hard-working minister who stays at home and hon
estly attends all he can to the good of humanity does more in a
minute than a barnstorming, sensationalist can accomplish in
40 years." The Record is enthusiastically and unanimously
right.
