DICKEY thinks that the propa ganda matter is excellent for the newspapers and there for the publ The newspaper, he “is so bus lowing wh that it often fails to » of what hap pened ye week, and espec ially as uenced the news of today.” And here, he suggests rather than States, is where the publicity man’s pro. paganda matter comes into its own. The newspaper can turn the work of furnish ing this carefully-prepared, broad inter- pretation over to men hired by people rich enough to pay good salaries to writ ers and with special interests to promote. LEAVE it to the reader to say whether he would rather have his in formation come from such sources or from writers who he no object except to get the facts and no interest except in the article itself. A Losing Fight OUNG AMERICA is losing in its fight to preserve the “high water mark.” This is evident from figures just made public by soap makers, who say Ameri- can families are using per cent more toilet soap today than they did a few years ago. And, as if this were not enough, physi- cians and health authorities are making progress in the schools of the nation with a “Bath a Day” movement. What chance has lone, unwashed youth against such a combination as this? What chance when statistics show that every household today is using annually More than 80 pounds of soap? When 2,500,000,000 pounds of soap are being turned out every r to torment his feel- ings and chase his dirt? Is it any wonder that storms of protest are going up in Seattle these evenings when “the gang” gets together in the “bunk” out behind the barn? The Goose Goes Wrong AD but illuminating news comes from Jasper, Ark. There is a pond near there—a shallow pond that has long in- yited the attention of water and shore birds. Also, close at hand, is the home of a moonshiner. This moonshiner, having completed his illicit brew, dumped the re- maining mash in the edge of the shallow pond. Down from the far north came a great flock of honking geese. Night was at hand and the geese settled upon the pond to feed and rest. In a brief time all of the birds that were not dead were hilariously drunk. All Newton county heard of the goose debauch and hurried to the scene. Hundreds of birds were cap- tured and there was many a groaning board in the county immediately there- after. What’s the moral? Easy. The wise bird goes his direct, sane way to an ulti- mate end and usually arrives unsullied. Geese dally, get drunk, betray themselves, die and spoil everything. It’s the way of winged as well as the human world, eee pre th count ‘ t k “ Pent a railroac 1 house r John D est da as it come t t B f it were Fever rT rticle printed by tl ] press of the country re marked “Propaganda” and the sc of it named, it would be honest.

Many newspapers have become the property of men who furnish the propa ganda. They look like newspapers, but they are no such thing. They are publica tions devoted to propaganda with new as a side line.

But some possible embarrassments will likely arise. Suppose, for instance, that a non-bandit Clevelander who looks like a bandit—and Cleveland has 'em in plenty—approaches. Do the stenogs bla awhy at him? Again, isn’t it customary for the bandit to reveal himself only after stenogs haven't time to duck into filing cases or dive under the furniture? Also, suppose that the bandit puts his gun up against a president's, a director's or a hier’s stomach, first thing. Do the stenogs begin firing, at risk of the imme- diate puncturing of said stomach? All this is said without intent to dis- | courage the Cleveland Trust company. The mere announcement that a bevy of pretty stenogs will begin firing ought to be a terrible warning to the most reckless bandit.
