Truth in the Newspaper If, as some contend, newspapers are moulders of public opinion, the New Deal stands a pretty good chance of continuing popularity on the basis of a recent survey made by Newsdom, trade publication of the newspaper profession, It showed that 48 per cent of the 236 western editors who answered the questionnaire believe it to be success- ful and are willing to continue it. ‘Thirty-eight per cent are against it and 12 per cent agree with it only in part. Some significance, however, may be attached to the fact that many of those who favor the present attitude warn of the need for revision and restriction.

Cornered Wolves If you can believe John Landesco, famous Chicago criminologist, we are apt to get a very bad outbreak of crimes of violence, such as bank rob- beries and large-scale holdups, in the near future. Oddly enough, this will come because the underworld is at last definitely on the run, The booze racket, as a steady source of revenue for gangsters, is fading. ‘The underworld has at last been con- vineed that kidnaping is too risky. The whole business of crime is suf- fering a severe depression, Gangs are breaking up, dissolving, losing their money and their power. And it is right at such a moment, says Mr. Landesco, that gangs are most dangerous. Being desperate, they will try almost anything. Con- sequently, this criminologist believes we shall have a new “crime wave” shortly—a crime wave which, para- doxically, will testify to the efficacy of our drive to break up organized crime.

It no longer is possible to make people think as the editor or publisher want them to think. An editorial dictum is not the last word on any subject as it was with some people during the time of Horace Greeley and the elder Dana. The way the modern news- paper moulds public opinion is by telling the people the truth -and let- ting them draw their own conclusions. Since the truth may not be always in accord with an editor's wishes, honest newspapers sometimes are placed in the position of moulding opinion against their own ideas. ‘That this is so is not generally un- Gerstood but it is true nevertheless, Decent newspapers do not, and in- decent ones dare not, stray from the truth on matters concerning individ- uals. A very few newspapers sup- Press political truth and emphasize political falsehoods, but their number is small. Only a few such exist in North Dakota and one of those is of recent origin and has already got its owner into serious trouble. ‘The reason for adherence to the ‘truth lies in the old principle of com- Petition. No intelligent reader would continue to pay money for a news- paper which he felt was purveying lies. A newspaper which doesn't tell the truth is not worth the paper upon which it is printed. Eventually its Circulation falls and its prestige is diminished. That is why a newspa- per of standing cannot afford to lie. Success Story? ‘That recent mill report, showing that the state enterprise at Grand Forks has failed to make operating expenses for the first time in eight years is one of the most illuminating things to come to light recently. It offers opportunity for fair and . unbiased comparison between the re- cet management. of the state mill and elevator and those which went before it. And such comparison re- Mlects no credit upon those who were going to make the entire milling ‘world their oyster when they took charge. One of the things which is signifi- cant to the average voter and tax- payer is not mentioned in the report at all. This is the fact that the last year has been an unusually good one for private millers. All of the big handsome dividends this year for the first time since 1931. One of the rea- eons is that business was done on a rising wheat market. ‘The state mill and elevator had this same advantage but apparently failed to utilize it.
