No Two Alike : A newspai»er is many times criti- : cized because it gets things wnong ; and often times mixed op. Names are : changed, dates are wrong, ineidents : are not correctly or accurately re- : corded—these and many more errors : are charged up against the news- : papers in their reports of events. j The charges are, no doubt, often : correct. Newspapers do make mis- : takes. They do get things wrong. ; But contrary to many expressed : opinions, the,*- errors are not commit : ted purposely. They are the result : most often of indefinite reports given : to the newspaper reporter. No two ; people see the s.ame incident alike. : The editor of the Type Metal Maga- : zine tells the following story, which : illustrates the point in question. : "Several years ago, when I was ■ working on Y*yr?papers. Dr. Charles : F. Thwing, then'president of West- : ern Reserve University, delivered an • address at th* Fnita ian Church in Cleveland one Sunday. Late in the > afternoon I decide ; I wanted a report of the talk, so I detailed a reporter I to call President Thwing on the telephone and ask him for a retun'e. It developed that Dr. Thwing had left for New York directly after the .«• rvices. The reporter then called up a half dozen prominent men. all of whom he knew to be niembers of the church. Th« ir reports of what Dr. Thwing said were so much at variance that it would have been absolutely ludicrous to print them. And yet Dr. Trwinu is a clear and forceful speaker.” Another experiihent will serve to make the meaning clear. "The experiment of firing a 32-calibre pistol in an office building was made by an attorney. This caused great excitement. The next day he interviewed thirty persons- and asked thejn to tell the time they heard th- report. The answers xatied from noon to five o’clock, no two being the same The average was three o’clock, although the gun was fired at 2:10.” It is evident that no two people see and hear the same things alike. How natural it if then, that newspapers get things wrong at times, much as they try to print them correctly and accurately. Do not be too harsh in your criticism of the newspaper accounts. Remember, they are doing a difficult thing in trying to tell the news of th* day's events. I’KODHTIOX IXD DLTIUIU TIO\ .

A report that the Globe had. dressed a lile baby up in overaJ^ and had tied it to the front of an automobile and were charging 10 cents to see it. created constdwaW* excitement on Avenue F last Saturday afternoon. There was some talk « arresting the inhuman offenders, while a few insisted that a lynrhiang party would be in order, until an W vestigation was made by Mrs. C. M.

ed that it costs too much to get what is produced into the hands of the consumer. Just now to remedy this situation is the problem that todayconf ronts the American people. The president does not think the difficulty insurmountable. He has an idea that something can be done for its solution by cooperative agencies thru the assistance of the state and national governments. He tells us he । has not a well worked out plan, but ; he has an idea that something on the । basis of the savings banks and build- । Ing and loan associations can be de- । vised to give aid to cooperative esI forts on the part of the people who produce and distribute the staple articles of trade. Until the president more fully develops his plan, the people will be able to form no judgment as to its feasibility. In his special message to ( Congress, which meets in December, he will probably set forth the plan he will work out to facilitate and cheapen distribution. Doubtless. Secretary Hoover and the department of Commerce are giving special attention to this particular lire of work. The president feels that, having' extended very substantial aid to the agricultural interests, some similar aid can be extended to the consuming interests. If the present administration, even in some small measure, is oble to solve the problem of distributon, it will place the American peple increasingly in its debt. DOES ItUfIGION M VI I I R? From various directions where one expects to hear only business, politic'„ and such affairs discussed come insistent pleas that we need a religious revival to solve the ills of the wor.ld. r-esi ’ent Harding has repeated on his ’.peaking trip emphatic demands for more Chris'ianitv anions.- the people of our natiin as n remedy for political, economic and social troubles. In a recent baccalaureate address President Ansell of Yab univo’ dty talked of the achievements of science and then declared t’ at someti ins more important right now to keep the national tone high and pure "is devoted character, hich moral purpose, essentially religious conviction ” He points out that those whose interests are fixed Solely on science (and he might have added business) are apt to develop a distorted focus on life. However efficient they may become, they may hold lightly self con trol, high moral character and pur- ! pose, good will amonK men and the roalizat,on of obligation to serve. It aeemt that the country has never known a period of more wide spread crime and loose personal and business morals. Most certainly- more right living and right thinking if n<WMied. — Plymouth Pilot.
