Harding’s Newspaper Creed | When Warren Harding became a presidential candidate in 1920, stories concerning him had a high news value. Marion, at the time was a camp ing ground for the newspaper writers of the coun try. They overran the front porch, played on the} lawn, were at home in the Harding living rooms} and in fact behaved just like newspaper men gen erally do when they are out to cover an assignment that involves nationwide interest. The public} knew Warren Harding only superficially and it was the business of the writers to make him known intimhtely, therefore no feature of his boyhood, youth and manhood was overlooked. The Marion Star office was a great hunting ground, for it was here that the president candidate had spent a great ure of his life and matters of human in- terest could be turned up in almost every corner of the entire establishment. w’ One inguisitive investigator prowling ubout the sanctum discovered, pasted to the wall, a set of rules embracing Mr. Harding’s code of ethics in conducting the newspaper business. These rules had been in force for many ; Marion Star through all the struggles to prosperity and a prestige second to no small town daily in Ohio The code follows: “Remember, there are two sides to every question. | Get both | “Be truthful. “Get the facts. Mistakes are inevitable, but strive for accuracy. 1 would rather have one story ex actly right than a hundred half wrong. “Be decent. Be fair. Be generous. “Boost—don’t knock. There’s good in everybody. Bring out the good in everybody, and never need-| Jessly hurt the feelings of anybo n reporting a political gathering, get the facts;} tell the story as it is, not you would like to have it. 3 eh “Treat all parties alike. If there’s any politics to be played, we will play it in our editorial col- umns. “Treat all religious matter reverently. 4 “If it can possibly be avoided never bring igno- miny to an innocent woman or child in telling of the misdeeds or misfortune of a relative. Don’t wait to be asked, but do it without the asking. “And, above all, be clean. Never let a dirty word or suggestive story get into type. a “T want this paper so conducted that it can go into any home without destroying the innocence of any child.” 5. Mr. Harding’s newspaper creed was given a wide publicity in the presidential campaign and fell under the approving eye of millions of newspaper | | readers. It could scarcely escape a new season of publicity in recent days when the history of hi life was woven into the sorrowful story of his death and burial It is not that the creed is new or that it is un known to readers that it is again reproduced here. It is because it its splendid doctrine, for all pub lishers and writers to embrace. Every self-respect ing newspaper writer will follow the Harding rules almost unconsciously. They are so eminently right. So fair and considerate. So well calculated to serve in any and all communities, So designed to estab: lish respect and good-will between publisher and | ficult | ually rough, currents rs and guided the|* | meet janother. The attitude of the South |tries toward the United St icism, and promises aly ment that hints at frict American coun- state Ame s to be so. Any on between the two jean contiments can do nothing but harm * Also Have Reward attempting to swim the English channel no obvious motive except that it is a dif. sk, not to be accomplished except where and strength combine to give success in the channel is cold and us: are many and uncertain, and fogs are frequent, Yet considerable number of men have needed no compulsion to essay the p: sage, and now a woman has shown she, too, could make the venture. The will to do hard things, even though there i no reason for doing them other than their hardness may not be a demonstration of wisdom at its height but even those who cannot commend it should re- strain the impluse to reprehend or deride. At an} rate it is better than the opposite will—that to do only sy things which is altogether too common. Getter than either is the search for y way: do hard things, for that way progress lies. The m first flew across the English channel in an air. plane well earned this fame and his place in history but the swimmers, too are estimable folk in their way. For there i t luck rod The water Yes, It Don’t Work According to the Soviet official daily “Economic Life” of the date of June 22, the cost of total pro. duction of nationalized industries in Russia, for the year was estimated at 1,505,000,000 gold rubles, a gold ruble being valued at 51.4 cents American money. It was estimated that the gross receipts, including sales to the general public, would amount to 1,593,000,000, thus earning a profit to the state 2 preliminary balance that in view of inordinately high overhead costs and other disbursements the industries in- stead of yielding this i 1 close the operating year with a 223,000,000 rubles. The Council of National E nd right here an impertinent question mark should be in- serted, has demanded a deficiency appropriation to the deficit. Y it is a great game, this government opera- n stuff, and one which makes a strong appeal to just such onomists as William G. McAdoo, who desires a few years in the White House in order to flirt with it a little more ardently than he did as railroad director under his father-in-law Mr. Wil son. Exploiting Immigrants The commissioner of immigration charges that |the steamship companies are responsible for bring- ng in aliens over the quotas and causing conges tion at is Island. The stories of midnight races to port by Atlantite liners in a mad rush to bring their passengers in within the quota limit lends color ot the charge. The House of Commons has been treated to some very sarcastic references to the handling of immigrants at our ports. It is very probable that a large part of the fault lies at the doors of the very countries from which complaints come. If their steamship companies subordinated their greed for profits to a decent respect for Amer- ican laws there would be fewer disappointed im- migrants. Dangerous Companionship Those who cratic party n out of the e directing the affairs of the Demo- y get what satisfaction they please of Senator Magnus Johnson. They practic admit and the returns prove that Democratic votes combined with radical votes to |put Johnson across. It may be that a majority of the Democrats of Minnesc are gratified at the result, but it would be interesting to know how their party collegues in other parts feel about it. If the present party leaders want to deliver their strength to radical ndidates they are likely to be public. A corner and foundation for an en- during super-structu If all publishers observed more religiously the Hardi the newspaper profession would be on a higher try stone To sacrifice truth and fact for speed is one of the greg ind most common offenses in the pub- lishing business. It gets nothing really. A pub lisher may deem it an advantageous advertising point but it isn’t. His speed and carelessness of fact, in nine out of every ten cases, have given to the public an untrue story, One of no value. The public quickly learns while as a general thing t is impatient tails it is willing to wait a brief time for what it knows it can rely upon It is far better to lose a good news item, or pub lish it the following issue, than it is to print the item without verification, do an injustice or violate| the truth In our own experience we have very generally followed the Harding creed, and in future will fol low it more b use it is good As between speed 1 truth it is the application of the old fable of the har nd the tortoise. Truth is enduring and may depended upon to win all races in which it ec with speed. Without Basis in Fact The director of the an-American union sees a tendency in the Unite States toward isolation from South Ameri and warns that we must abandon such tendency or arm ourselves against the balance of power thus created against us. It is difficult to find ny basis for any such state ment. The effort of recent administrations has been specifically directed toward cultivating the friend li relations with South Ame Mr. Root vi ited Rio Janeiro when he was secretary of state and Secretary Hughes has done likewise.

The Plain Remedy | There has been some agitation fe |sion of congréss for the purpose of fixing the pric Jof wheat. The present wheat pri everyon> should know, is due to the law of supply and de mand, which cannot be repealed by any enactment of congress. A price might be fixed and tempor ary aid provided, but there must come a day of eckoning when the taxpayers vould pay the bill. The obvious remedy for the wheat farmer is to re. duce his wheat crop and become more diversified in his activities.
