“PICKIN’ A OROW” A few weeks ago we noticed in one or two of our exchange newspapers an editorial, written by a member of the Journal staff and first published in the Journal. It did us a great honor when the editors of those newspapers chose to use the editorial in their weekly edition, and we were pleased indeed that it was recognized by them. When it comes to having our news reprinted, word for word, we feel that we are being taken at a disadvantage, especially when we are not given a credit line, which most REAL, LIVE newspapers do when they use some story that they have seen in another paper. Editorials and news are entirely two different things and should be treated differently. We do not believe our editorials to be the best that can be written and other newspapers are welcome to use them when they see fit, but we feel that we are entitled to at least a credit line when our news stories are REPRINTED LOCALLY. , The news that you read in the Journal, for the most paM. is reported and collected through the efforts of our staff. We write and edit it ourselves at no IjPtle expense, and we feel that we are being done an injustice when it is used in another paper without acknowledgement of our efforts. The only local news that you read in the Journal that is not written and edited by our staff and correspondents is perhaps a county event or happening of local interest which is clipped from another newspaper for which we always give a credit line as a courtesy to that paper.. The Journal began operation when SYRACUSE WAS WITHOUT A NEWSPAPER and it was STARTED FROM “SCRATCH" — it was improved and enlarged through hours of hard work by our predecessors and the loyalty of our readers and advertisers. Our readers have been invited to call it “their newspaper,” for they have given it encouragement and support from the very beginning—and let us say that it nas been genuinely appreciated.

HOW WAR EFFECTS LIVE STOCK MARKET (Reported by John Clay & Co., Live Stock Comm. Service.) Live stock producers have adjusted supplies to a more even marketward flow and fluctuations of late have not been as violent as during the first week of the European hostilities. At the outset of this week major killing worked into stronger position, while a generous run of feeding cattle met with weakened demand. Feeder lambs are holding unchanged. Declaration of war in Europe practically cut off exports of pork to this country. During the week ending August 31, a period immediately prior to the war, exports to this country totaled 1,401,549 lbs., while during the first week of the war (latest available figures) importations from Europe totaled 372,007 lbs., this product being enroute when war was declared. As anticipated, importations of beef from South America were not affected; in fact, the recent rise in beef prices attracted a larger amount of that product than arrived just previous to the war. During the final week of peace in Europe, South America exported to the United States 502.533 lbs. of beef and veal. The following week saw beef and veal imports, mostly the former, increase 35 per cent. Quantities of meat and lard in storage at this time are not large. The amount of pork is smallest for this date with two exceptions since the close of the World War. Lard holdings are lowest for this period in three years and show a 20 per cent decrease compared with a month ago. Beef stocks are smallest for September in seven years. J. W. Reid of Dallas had a color movie made of an operation he recently underwent whicn he exhibits to any one who fishes to see it.

Laughing Around the World With IRVIN S. COBB . >■■■■■■■ — ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 111 ■ A Long Journey for the Commuter By IRVIN S. COBB riTOM SHARKEY was famous nationally as a prizefighter. Among friends he was distinguished for another attribute—to wit, his frugality. When Tom got his hands on a dollar, that dollar immediately and forever was out of active circulation. —S fer Hi After he had retired from ring-practice he opened a case on Fourteenth Street. For an assistant manager he hired an ex-promoteU of pugilism named McGrath who had, touching on the commendable virtue of economy, much the same safe and sane principles which actuated his employer. . , . A When Sharkey was not on hand it was McGrath’s special job ta keep an eye on the cash receipts. One evening a member of the day shift back of the bar was about to go off watch. He waited until McGrath’s back was turned, then opened a cash register and grabbed at its contents. But the warning ring of the bell on the mechanism had reached the vigilant ear of Sharkey’s aide. On top of this th® barkeeper was so unlucky as to let a quarter slip through his fingers and it fell chiming on tire floor. McGrath spun about, the kindled light of suspicion m his eye. “Hey!” he yelled out, “what’s the big idea, young fella?” “Why, don’t you remember what Mr. Sharkey said the other day? He said we could each get carfare home out of the till every day when we left I was just taking me carfare, that’s all.” McGrafth drew nearer step by step. His glance roved from the depleted damper to the bulging fist of the guilty party. Ther, very softly he spoke: “And where is it you live, young fella—Sidney, Australia?" ~ : »■

WAR AND THE U. S. A. American industry hates war. War destroys lives. War wrecks homes. Economic chaos and years of crushing depression are its inevitable aftermath. It imperils representative democracy. Free institutions are among its early victims. Ultimately no one can escape the ruin of war. American industry wants peace. Peace is the life blood of progress. Peace must be the national objective. Industry’s position on this matter has been stated repeatedly and there can be no misunderstanding

about it. Tin United States can stay out of war. Emotionalism can betray us into war. A public will to peace, coupled with wise public policies and affirmative action to this end by our government will keep us out of war. A fatalistic attitude that war is inevitable for us is absurd. It presupposes that America cannot conduct itself intelligently to preserve peace and its own interests. ’ Europe’s problems do affect us, but our domestic problems still must come first.
