MORE EDITORIAL OPINION IN PAPERS IS ADVOCATED ‘Washington Education Union Hears Address by Edward Keating, Editor of Labor. In an address before the Washington | Education Union, No. 198, associated with the Federation of Labor, meeting at the Y, W. C. A, Eighteenth and K streets, yesterday, Edward Keating, editor of Labor, told members that the opportunity for education through the public press lies in the co-operation of editors in publishing their views on | important news items. Mr. Keating said he believed the fact-finding side of the newspaper was the primary purpose of journalism, but | particularly stressed the necessity for publishing editorial opinion because of its educational value, “The press should give more space to the editorial side of its work,” he stated. Those present at the meeting were Richard S. Harvey, president; Allen Davis, principal of Business High School, vice president; Miss Mary P. Bradshaw, vice president; Maude E. Aiton, Mrs. F. A. Woodward, Mrs. Annie W. Harvey, Miss Thelma Borehardt, Mrs. Raymond B. Morgan, Miss Eva B. Heth and Mrs. Kate Outwater. WALES’ PLANE DOWNED. LONDON, November 16 (#)—The Prince of Wales' private pilot, while on a flight yesterday afternoon with a passenger in the prince's plane, made & forced landing in a field near Woking, Burrey, because of fog and gasoline #hortage. A report quickly spread that the prince himself was in the plane, but it was announced that the passenger was a man whose name was given as Kaye, whom the pilot had brought over from France and was taking to Brook- Jands. Inguiries at York House after the fact of the plane’s mishap became known brought the statement that the Prince of Wales had not been out of town nn| day.
