MEMBER AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATION THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) (Official City, State and County Newspaper) ASSOCIATED PRESS Two outstanding figures have retired from the active management of the Associated Press: Melville E. Stone and Frederick Roy Martin. Kent Cooper with the organization fifteen years becomes general manager. He worked up from & subordinate post and gained his present high position through intimate knowledge of the technical wire problems that confront this great news gathering organization. . The Associated Press is now twenty-five years old. To the ordinary layman, it is a rather vague organization. The reader often is confused as to its structure and functions. | Sometimes the Catholics declare that it is dominated by the Protestants and not long ago a Methodist bishop wrote head- quarters vehemently and denounced the organization as be- ing controlled by Catholics. Jews have declared that the organization was controlled by anti-Semitic forces and a certain organization fighting both the Catholics and Jews have denounced it as being controlled commonly by the Jews and the Catholics. All are wrong. There is no more impersonal news gath- ering machine in existence. It comprises in its membership newspapers of every religious, political and racial leaning. If the Associated Press were dominated by any dogma, relig- ion, race or propaganda, it would fail to function very long. Any overt act of partiality would be instantly challenged by scores of members who are vigilantly alert that no propa- ganda or tainted news is put on the wire. Clean, reliable and worthwhile news is the ideal set before every Associated Press worker. Accuracy, fairness, impartiality are put ahead 6f everything else in the spreading of the varied news dis- patches that go to all corners of the world over a net-work ef wires. The Associated Press is unique in that it is the only co- operative organization in the world gathering news and dis- tributing it upon a strictly news basis without interference from economic, political or religious propaganda. It is owned and controlled by the 1,200 newspaper mem- bers and the paper which takes a limited report has as great a voice in its management as the great city dailies with their several leased wires and special cable services. It is a most democratic organization and each member is made to feel his responsibility in making and keeping the Associated Press free from unfairness, propaganda and indecency. No one factor in journalism has contributed so much to ae usefulness of the American newspaper as the Associated ress. POINT WELL TAKEN What appears as a tempest in a teapot has been stirred up by W. C. Taylor of the Game and Fish Board and as far as heading the fish part of it is concerned in North Dakota, the duties and honors of the board are similar to that of an admiral in the “Swiss navy,” all uniform and gold braid. But seriously, Gov. Sorlie merely asked to be consulted upon appointments in the gift of this board and his point is well taken. The chief executive naturally is responsible for.the acts of these subsidiary boards, if not legally, he is morally and in the eyes of his constituents. It is Gov. Sorlie’s idea to bring these various boards into closer contact with the governor’s office so that a spirit of cooperation can be had which should strengthen the morale of state government and probably decrease its cost. : In the past there has been some proceedings little short of a public scandal in the handling of the affairs of the Game s:and Fish board. No one is imputing any wrong motives to the board as it is now constituted, but the fact that the gov- =ernor merely asked to be consulted on where the board should meet, when and who are to receive commissions as wardens or as other officers was decidedly within his power and part of the obligations of the high office he occupies. 3 That he received scant courtesy from the head of the board reflects a situation which should be changed. What- ®ever Mr. Taylor’s personal feelings to Gov. Sorlie are, the =fact remains that the Governor’s suggestion was made in = good faith and if all appointive boards formed a closer union with the governor’s office, there would be better team work “and better government. Under the laws which create some boards, the governor's *¢ontrol ends when he makes the appointments. There are =8pasmodic reports and a perfunctory accounting of fees col- ‘lected and moneys disbursed, but the boards as a rule set gthemselves up as arbitrary units and their dignity is usually outraged if the chief executive presumes to offer sugges- jions.. This is not true of all appointive boards but surface : indications seem to point that the Game and Fish Board is =8 sensitive body and highly proud of its prerogatives. The system is wrong and Gov. Sorlie is on the right track “when he seeks to correct it.

He lives at the northern tip of Man- hattan where the Hudson and Har- lem rivers join at Spuyten Duyvil. “What's out there?” “Well, there’s a hill that runs from Dyckman street to Spuyten Duyvil. It used to belong to Rocke- feller but now it’s part of the city park system. Under the brow of this hill are caves dug by the In- dians. From those caves they could look out upon the Hudson and they were protected from attack from the rear.” “Indian caves right here in city?” the show you where a snake at least six feet long was caught in a landslide or glacial movement centuries ago and was turned to stone. You can see it in the face of a cliff. “And there's a big tulip tree out there, the biggest in) this part of the country.

There's a plate on the tree telling that it marks the spot where Henry Hudson landed. “And there's a pottery on that hill where they make some sort of Pottery that isn’t made any place else. “Yessir, and if you come out 11] >! ‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE " Gosn!

Those camps have a greater percentage of cures than any other place in the state ex- cept the one at Saranac. Some of those people are being cured of tu- berculosis no more than a block or two from where they lived and con- tracted it. “Come on out there some day and I'l show you the bootleg boats. Every once in a while I can look out my window and see a rum runne: come through Spuyten Duyvil in # fast speed boat, with a police boat in pursnit. Sometimes the rum run- ner will go down the Harlem river, but sometimes he will. sneak into a wharf and hide while the .police ‘boat passes. “And say, when the sun goes down! over the palisades it makes just about the prettiest sunset you ever saw, with the sky above the cliff all crim- son and the river in a purple sha- dow.

Rowell A mid-western newspaper, on the suggestion of tWe local women’s clubs, is trying the experiment of printing all the crime news together on the second page, reserving, however, the privilege of printing on the front page any crime news so important that it would be so printed if it were social, . business, sporting, or any other news normally classified. But this exception illustrates the essential inconsistency { jot the whole scheme. The good ladies, not familiar with the newspaper business, doubtless had no other idea than to “play up” the undesirable crime news, which they would really prefer not to have printed at all. i ‘ But market, sporting, social and other classified news groups are not given pages by themselves to subordinate them. They are classified because they are intended for specialists, who want all the routine happenings of a cer- tain class, whether they are of general interest or not. A similar treatment of crime would make the crime page include a list of all the day’s arrests, regardless of news in- terest or importance, together with such telegraphic crime information as the chief of police. would want. Most of this news is not printed now, and need not be printed at-all. Crime is not news-unless it is of general, non- professional interest. In that case it belongs, like any other general news, on the general news pages. Whatever does not belong there does not belong in the paper at all, 4 The fall of the Herriot cabinet, in France, is in itself no more significant than any other of the constantly recurring crises in that politics-ridden country. A government in France that lasts a year is a curiosity. of the disputed points of French constitutional law. constituent statutes, which take the place of a constitution in France, de- clate that the ministry chall be re- sponsible to “the Chambers,” which would include, literally, the Senate. But ministers have not always re- signed on an adverse vote in the Senate, or have courted an adverse vote in the Deputies also, and it has been disputed whether a Ministry having the confidence of the pop- ular house was bound to give way to a hostile Senate. Now, on a vote of confidence by the Deputies, but on a hostile vote by the Senate, the government resigns. A strong precedent is thereby es- tablished in favor of the literal in- terpretation of the constitutional Provision. The French Senate is given a new importance by the subservience to it of Herriot’s party, the very party one of whose historic principles, now, long in abeyance, was the abol- ition of the Senate. The Possibly this may be the only ad- dress Wilhelm will recognize, and there may therefore have been the praetical excuse that this was the way to get the telegram delivered. But the trouble with Viereck doing it is that this address is universally helieved to represent his own actual feeling. Just as there are Sinn Fein poli- ticians in America who seek to curry favor by agitations which would be suppressed in Ireland, by the Irish’ government, as treason against Ire- land, so there are German politi- cians in America who out-kaiserize the German monarchists themselves. Viereck, as their self-appointed leader, sought to deliver the “Ger- man vote,” millions strong, at the last election, on an appeal more “German” than any sensible party in Germany represents. The election returns demonstrated that not one German-American vot- er in ten took Viereck's advice. The “block votes” in America are never so narrow and prejudiced as their self-seeking “lenders” pretend. | If they were, democracy in America would soon become impossible. Fortunately, our foreign-born Americans are more American than those who would exploit them sup- pose.
