NEWSPAPERS AND NEWS A New York minister assails the press for its "oxi citations of the Hamon murder ease and eimilar lurid fan dais," which, he declares, is evidence of a "growlug depravity in American journalism." Like most reformers and moralists who periodica 11v a?satl the press for departing from a puritannicn! blue Sunday line in its news columns, the Gothn sky pilot entirely ignores the one influence that directs the news editor in his selection of news and judging of news values. That is human nature. The average human would rather read ahout a crime or a scandal in which some other human Is involved than an account of a sermon preached by the New York minister, for example. A newspaper js a newspaper only so long as it gives its readers the news they want to read.

UNTRUTH A POOR ALTERNATIVE The necessity for suppressing the facts no !onger prevailing we are now told something of the grcnt damage done by tho German air raids on London and other Kng'i&h centers of population. Tho Loudon Times has drawn some comparisons between what was icld in the government communiques of the result, of r,ud3 and what actually happened. It is shown that In numerous instances hpre the government statements .tverred that slight damage was inflicted the aotti3l devastation mounted into millions of dollars. The visits of, the German airmen wrought far greater havoc than th public was permitted to learn through official admissions. It is also stated that through fear begotten by the raids there was a large exodus from London to remote parts of the island, many of honi have never returned to their former places of residences. The disparity shown to exist between the facts and the communiques raises the question whether suppression of the truth by means of depreciation of the damage ."ctually accomplished the purpose intended. The primary design of minimizing the destruction wrought was to conceal from the Germans the extent of the fruitaticn of their effort. Yet many British must have known that the whole truth was not being told, and this might easily lead to doubt of the verity of any announcement tee government might make on the subject of the war. The practical workings of censorship may defeat its purpose. Facts cannot be distorted ithout producing a reflect action.. There are instances in which it is vise to preserve absolute silence, but in many cases real harm would be done by telling the truth than by

NOT MUCH STANDPATTING HERE One of the terible accusations made against Senator Harding as toon as his nomination was announced wus. that If elected, he would bi a "co:nu:ou place" president, a plodder in familiar paths, an exponent of the obvious, a faithful follower of routine-, a worshipper of the fetish of precedent; in other words, a conservative of the conservatives and thai dreadful thing, a "reactionary." Sclf-styleJ progressives shuddered and held up their hands in horror as they proclaimed Mr. Harding to be an irreclaimable member of the "Old Guard." when nothing less than a blast of dynamite can move from their foundations. Well, Mr. Harding was elected by a majority eo largo that it is cruelty to Democrats to mention it, and ever tince November 2 he has been making those predictions of standpattlsm look foolish. He has knocked all traditions of the president-elect into a cocked hat. First, ho took a rip to Panama to study conditions here, somehing no presideut-elect has ever done before. Then he made a farewell speech in the senate. Returning lo his home, he iiuited leaders of the nation's thought tp visit him and give counsel on the problems of government. He announced his support of tho proposal for a new. executive department to comprise all the "wellaro" agencies of the government and his intention to pppo'nt a woman as it3 head. He requested th vice-prcsidcnt-ciect to sit in the cabinet, meetings of the next administration and give them the benefit of h'a counsel. These, arc but a few-samples of the president-elect's ' i eactionaryisin" of which his hostile critics ere so fearful. The fact. is. of course, that it Is many years since we have had so "forward-'ooking" n president-elect as Mr. Harding, to use a favorite expression of President Wilson's. Mr. Wilson has frequently looked forward fin far that he haa failed to watch his step and has Humbled. Mr. Harding seems to have a firmer footing on the ground of common tense. Hut the folk who were calling him a reactionary and a stand-patter have become suddenly silent. KEEP A BANK ACCOUNT In the decalogue of thrift, put out by the American Bankers' Association, the third declaration is to keep a bank account, not carry extreme sums about the p2rso:i or bide them away like a miser. There is a large measure of common sense in the advice thus given, there would be large, protection to property and w-ealth if 1 was applied by the public. For weeks one can scarcely p'ck up a paper front any city without seeing stories of robberies where large sums of currency had been 5o3t. Tt Is folly to carry large sums on the person. The fact that it is carried is certain to become known. That means trouble, possible loss of life when yDbbery is tried. Put your money in a bank.

! Pay your bills by check, and protect yourself from at
