One of the problems constantly before newspaper editors is that of properly defining the word “News.” If it is done in accord with the times and the views of the majority of the people served, the newspaper fills its proper place in the social and economic fabric and is termed successful. If it doesn’t know the kind of news its subscribers want it becomes dull, uninteresting, ineffective as an advertising medium and, eventually, a failure. Constantly keeping this fact in mind, the editors of The ‘Tribune listen closely to the views of persons living in this area. Upon occasion The Tribune asks subscribers, chosen at random, what it thinks of this newspaper and how it can be improved. One result of this constant checking is the series of stories bout the operations of Mr. Arthur Daub, Oliver county farmer. Deaths, births, marriages, the activities of public officials, social events, and varied and daily happenings of the community are what might be called “bread and butter” news. Everyone likes to know what his neighbors are doing and the newspaper makes an effort to satisfy this natural curiosity. Always, of course, there is the kaleidoscope of an ever-changing world as revealed by dispatches from all corners of the globe. ( But there is, in addition to this, news fully as interesting nd even more vital in the every-day things men are doing. ‘The new things being originated by men of science, the practical application being given to both old and new ideas in the face of changing conditions, Upon such things the very life of the community depends. We live in an area in which rainfall is admittedly deficient, at feast under the old systems of farming. The people of this region have had warning to either change their habits or move out. Things are not like they used to be and probably never. will be again. 4 The greatest human story ever written on these prairies is that of the struggle of the people for a living; their efforts to maintain the civilization which they built when times were better and when nature smiled upon this region more benignly. It is an epic tale, worthy the pen of a Homer. It contains the elements of great acheivement and high tragedy, everything needed to move the mind and heart to understanding and new endeavor. This story is written in the minds and hearts of the people. The one thing most urgently needed is a happy ending, And that denouement should come soon. © i When it comes it will be the product of the minds and hearts of the people aided, we all hope, by Nature. It is The Tribune’s search for a guidepost, pointing the way toward that new era, which causes it to print the story of Arthur Daub. The same spirit will lead to other stories. A series on the results obtained this year from irrigation is in the making. County agents will be asked to help locate others. This, in the truest sense of the word, is news. It is cheerful, btimulating, encouraging. The Tribune will give its readers all of this kind of news it can. And to this end the cooperation of Its readers is solicited. If you know of a farmer who is doing something new, or Boing an old thing in a new and more successful way, notify the editor. He'll be glad to pass it along for the benefit of other farmers. ‘Sky High’ Thrift | The federal Maritime Commission recently pointed to a brand-new reason why America should not build any of the luxurious super-liners with which competition for the de luxe ocean passenger trade is now being waged. The reason: air- planes. Within a decade, says the commission, ocean air service will be a very serious competitor to the luxury liners. Big air- planes cannot carry a fraction of the number of a big liner’s Passengers—but they can make many more trips, and they cost Zar less to build. : For $18,000,000, continues the commission, one could build 48 big flying boats, with which one could offer a three-planes- a-day service across the ocean. At the end of a year, these planes would have carried as many passengers as a gigantic liner would have carried—and the liner would have cost $50,000,- 000, instead of $18,000,000. This sounds like one more good reason for letting England nd France have the luxury-liner trade, if they want it. Facts, Fantasy—Fascism We doa good deal of talking in this country about the danger of Fascism, and it is a good thing that we do—it keeps us alert. But the danger in America is more or less remote, almost Aca demic; in Europe, however, it is extremely acute and pressing. This is shown by the recent sensation in France, where secret fortresses and arsenals loaded with explosives and weapons in preparation for a “rightist” revolution were re- cently discovered by the authorities. A mysterious hooded secret society, which seems to have made grandiose plans for an armed assault on the popular front government, is believed responsible for the existence of these arms. The whole thing sounds fantastic—yet, unfortunately, it Ss sober fact.

The senstor's filibuster was fea- tured. by the reading of a speech against an anti-lynching bill once delivered by Senator Hugo Black, now 'a Supreme Court justice, and by Con- nally’s reiteration that Black was cer- tain to held the Wagner anti-lynch- ing measure unconstitutional because he couldn't “eat those words.” Black Out of Decision Well, it’s feirly certain that there will be an anti-lynching act sooner or later and that eventually the law will come up to the Supreme Court ‘| for a test of its validity. And at that time it is not very likely that Justice Black will participate in the decision. Whether he should or not was bound to be a rather delicate ques- tion in any event. But Connally has put Black quite definitely on the spot and the chance that he might participate in any decision invalidat- ing an anti-lynching law is now much more remote. Black is anxious to make a name for himself and is hardly likely to brave the public out- “BOSS” GARNER Vice President John Nance Gard- ner, the wealthy banker from Uvalde, Tex., is boas at his hotel as well as in the Senate. Every so often the hotel’s dinner menu includes a steak on the $1.25 dinner which does not appear on the 85-cent dinner. On such oc- casions Garner demands his rights and they tactfully give him the steak on the 85-cent plate. cry which such action would invoke. Speculation as to how the court might divide is rather futile as the composition of the court at that in- definite future time is pure guess work. But there have been four to four decisions which meant nothing except that the ruling of the lower court was permitted to stand and it is easy to imagine an evenly split: vote on anti-lynching if Black refrains from participation. ee * Kennedy Error Lobbyists’ for the subsidised ship operators continue to promote propa- ganda against maritime lebor unions vigorously as possible. Isolated “horrible examples” of insybordina- tion by stewards and ships’ crews ‘and usually representative incidents showing lack of respect to passengers, are being used to indicate that the unions and the men who do the dirty lsork on American ships are respon- sible for the unfortunate state of the country’s merchant marine. Propaganda of this type is espe- cially valuable at the moment be- cause word is going around that Chair- man Joe Kennedy of the Maritime Commission, whose hard-boiled atti- tude toward union members thfeat- ened a row between the administra- tion and the C.I.0., has been told to pull in his neck. The authority on which Kennedy proceeded when he cabled the captain of the 8. 8. Algic to put his men’ in irons if they didn’t immediately re- sume work at Montevideo is still. a matter of vague speculation and it is’ being admitted around the White House that Joe “didn't handle him- self very well.” (Copyright, 1987, NEA Service, Inc.)

It is as reasonable to assume that factors in the blood, chemical substances, ductless gland hormones, may modify the character of the genes in the germ-plasm and so account, in a measure, for the inheritance of acquired characters and the effect of environment on evolution. Anyway, it is all conjectural and every student of heredity may choose the school of thought he prefers.

Is there any other remedy than sur- gery? (H.R.G.)
