Kresge Bidg Sry el een ener Seyi) (Official City, State and County Newspaper) MAN OF AN EPOCH DIES Melville E. Stone, the grand old man of the Associated Press, was an epoch maker. He was the guiding spirit in the creation of the greatest cooperative organization in the world, for the activities of the Associated Press extend into every country, every nook and every corner of the globe. When he began linking up the newspapers of the nation in the cooperative gathering and distribu- tion of news, he truly began a colossal enterprise. The subsequent expansion of the organization and the multi- Plication of its activities have made the work of Stone epochal. Before the Associated Press was started, the gathering of news was the task of individual newspapers. There ‘was no distribution to speak of. Each paper had its staff and its means and methods of going after the news of the world. These were very enterprising for their day, but they would be pitifully incompetent for today. The old New York Herald even used carrier pigeons before the telegraph and cable provided other and swifter means than the mails, the fleet clipper ships and later the transatlantic steamers. The big metropolitan papers held to their aloofness long into the period of the telegraph and cable. Tt was Melville E. Stone who brought coordination of energies and cooperation of activities into this state of journalism. He had the prescience to see a future need and he organized the competing papers into a vast team- ‘work which now is the Associated Press. He, with the assistance of the late Victor F. Lawson, of Chicago, was the dominating personality of the organization until he retired in 1921 as general manager and became the sec- vetary and counselor. If he had done no more than crganize the Associated Press, he had accomplished a great achievement. But Melville Stone was, in addition to a great organizer, a profound interpreter of news values, and the Associated Press under his direction came to present the news with & sense of relativity and proportion that has become the accepted practice among newspapers. The organizer thus became the developer also, and the papers of the country in general bear the impress of his thought and methods. \ To a considerable extent, Melville E. Stone also is to be @eedited with the improvement in ethics that has come about among newspapers. The old days of quarrel- some personal journalism could not endure when the newspapers began to work together in mutual service. Because, then, of the Associated Press, the newspaper pages of the country are cleaner and saner and in their editorial utterance there is an absence of the animosities that used to prevail in the bitter journalistic debates of public matters in the days of the elder Bennett, Dana and Horace Greeley. The impetus which Melville Stone left with the organ- | ization in retiring in 1921 has continued and will con- | tinue even now that he has died. The Associated Press still is expanding, adding new usefulness and service from time to time, and all on that cooperative principle that was the basis of Melville E. Stone's idea when he set @bout organizing it. It is a great monument to have. It is Mr. Stone’s monument, Acree WAITING FOR HIGHER PRICES The time to buy is when prices are low. Everyone Bays so. But not everyone acts on the rule. When prices slump, markets stagnate. Buying is confined to the few, and these believe themselves unfortunates, who need goods so badly they cannot wait for lower prices. At the first sign of a rise buyers rush in. They do not Care to pay the highest price for what they require. But with large numbers trying to beat the market, buying competition becomes keen and prices easily go up. Trying to buy at the bottom frequently results in people having to supply their wants at the top because they waited too long. ‘This common experience in business might reasonably fnduce a change of practice on the part of producers. Prices for a number of commodities have been declining for o considerable time. They have been gradually redu ed in hopes that buying might be stimulated. These necessities are in good supply. The market has been Seeking to find the price level at which buying would be resumed on a large scale. There is no sign that this jill Lo found farther down. Statistics indicate that this foncition has not made for bad business. On the ‘whole, there is a heavy movement of’ goods. The law of supply and demand is operating perfectly. e According to natural law, increased demand should Precede advances in prices. Existing conditions do not | favor @ rush of buyers to stock up. Why should there be such? The answer is that in the long run a falling market favors the buyer. It is a reasonable conclusion that demand for commodities that do not now find ready _ Belg because buyers are waiting for lower prices will be stimulated by nothing else than s rise of prices. But this remedy cannot be resorted to without market con- trol, and there is no such control. baat ' CHANGING ETHICS : 4 sometimes said that civilization is artificial, that ime artificial, and that the conscience. necessary to id the ethics on which civilization rests is artificial aT y t the belief that the rod in some form or other is a more effective agency in the enforcement of ethics than con science. This quite general belief has been responsible for ‘> hickory stick, repressive laws and prisons. What society is striving for is to make conscience uni- versal so that posterity will have no need for the “rod.” The respecter of ethics ts not now in need of laws and those who do not respect ethics for their own sake are in need of conscience. The hypercritical should not obstruct the conscience missignary work by the uneces- sary multiplication of the ethics posterity must observe.
