Congress re cently at San Franelaeo, urged that editorB and reporters should be mada to sign their numeB to their editorials und news stories as evidence of good failli, and advocated the passage of a law compelling editors to "?how their financial interest in the policies Hwy advocate." The last suggestion ts particularly calculated to shovk the average news paper reader no les? tuan the average editor. The insinuation that Ameri tan editors are such a sordid lot of men, with BO little appreciation of public duty and responsibility, that they support thin or that public policy because they have a "llnanelal Inter est'' in lt. and oppose other policies only when such un interest ls absent, 1B a strange commentary on the freest, most honest and conscientious public press that any country has ever pos sessed. In no other business are the emolu ments BO slight, m proportion to the effort expended and the service rend ered, as in journalism. And editors and reporters are not ashamed of their modest Incomes. They are badges of honesty and disinterested service. They .are, In themselves, proof of the lack of "financial Inter est" that Mr. Bryan seems to sug gest as the dominating motive of an editor's life. There is no other class of men in America-certainly not in politics-that BtandB so unflinchingly for honesty and moral principle in public life as do newspaper editors. As for signing editorial and news articles, the anonymity of newspaper utterances has been recognized al ways SB a source of strength. The newspaper Is an entity bigger than any man on it, bigger than its staff or its owner. It has personality. "The Paper says" so and so-tho identity of the writer iBn't important. Such Individual responsibility as must be assumed, the editor assumes. Strangely, too, Mr. Bryan deplores the tendency toward "Independent" papers, believing that "no "nan can write on public questions without bias." He suggests that "independent newspapers-become. bL-partlsan," mak ing themselves ' a' mere medium through which representatives of rival political parties may set forth their Views* Tnfs wouUL,reduce edi tors to what they have never been in the history ot American Journa lism-mere printers of other men's views-which are dictated so often by private-., interest-Instead, .of cour ageous and conscientious judges of those views. It will be a sud day for the'country If American editora ever surrender their editorial power. - The intelli gence of the publie and the certain failure of any paper that abuses Its power are the surest guarantees that the press will remain true to its tradi tions. LONG SCHOOL VACATIONS. All over the country colleges are thronged with students for summer courses, business schools sro running about aa usual, music pupils are studying music and private education al Institutions of all kinds are con tinuing their work. And all over the country the public schools are closed for three or (our months, great and costly educational . plants are lying unproductive, the continuous progress of instruction 1? interrupted and mil lions ot children are lett tu compul sory idleness to roam thu streets or burden their distracted parents. The long summer vacation ls ration al enough in the country, where boys and girls have to help \?lth the farm chores in the summer. In ploneor times uearly all school children had such duties. But that is not a suf ficient reason for turning present-day children out of school for a quarter of a year In tho cities. Few of them have any vacation duties. Fow of them need so loni a rest Most ot them develop into a temporary nuis ance to their families and community, while the learning of the past year fades from their memories and Ute power of mental application ebbs away. A month's summer vacation would probably be far better for city schools. IS DOPE HAPPINESS! One Dr. Arthur L. Blunt of Chicago was charged with aiding drug users in violating the Harrison anti-narcotic law. His attorneys, seeking a writ of habe** corpus, argued before Judge Konesaw Mountain Landis of the United States court that the Harrison law ls unconstitutional in that lt denies to drug nacra the pursuit ot happiness. This, opens an Interesting field of speculation. Is hitting the pipe real ly the pursuit ot happiness guaranteed to all Americans under their constitu tion?

Tile situation in England is full of instruction for Americans. If only we would study it. if only our legis lators and learers of public opinion would study it, wo should soon be setting our own house in order re specting the national defense. Eng land is giving us an example of the effects of military unpreparedness which if we heed it will save us hum iliation and unnecessary loss. England did not support a great army and neither do we. England relied upon a citizenry .trained and accustomed to arms and so do we, England neglected to train her citi zens and to supply the arms and so do we. This does not raise necessarily the problem of universal service or con scription. It does raise the problem of working out some system by which we in the United States, having con sideration for our physical and politi cal situation, can provide and main tain always a body of men in civil Wo which is partially trained and fully organised for defense under modern conditions of warfare. It raises the problem for proper organi zation and supply in time of peace for the event of war. We know or ought to know now how tremendous the mere joh of put ting a modern army in the field is. We see from England's plight what elaborate preparations aro needed, what supplies are needed. We are a nation have had to learn this lesson for each war, but each succeeding generation has forgot what their fath ers learned in blood and agony. ?

The significance of the farm mort gage, it appears, ta just now disclos ing Itself to bankers. The head of a large bank In tbe east, .who has been making an investigation, has found that farmers lara not, as he supposed, borrowing money, because farming is not profitable. They are borrowing, on the contrary, because farming ls profitable. Now and then of course, crop failure, doe to one cause or an other, sent the farmer to capital for a loan, but, tn most Instances the banker haa learne>i, farmers borrow In order to extend their op?rations in crease their acreage, take in more land under their control and manage ment. He had believed-with a good many others-that farmers sought loans only when driven to lt by (he pinch of necessity, and that they were, as a rule, mortgaging the future to make np for a loss of the past. Now he rees things in a different light. He could have had thin view ot farming and farm loans long before; perhaps. IS the farmer waa not poor st ex planation, and not very definite with figures. The banker, on the other hand, has not been inclined to ac quaint himself sufficiently with the farmer's business. Neither has un derstood the other. The fault lies mainly with the banker, however. He has'been slow to realise (hat farm conditions have changed. A quarter of a century ago it wes probabl ytrue that a majority ot farm loans . were negotiated be cause crop expectations wera not realised and the farmer needed cap ital to finance the crop of the future. And that was risky security for the banker. Bot this ls no longer the rule, Adrtoaiced 'methods, Increased knowledge of soil and crop require ments, rotation, seed selection. Im proved tillage, modern machinery, bigger retorna, and higher prices for the produce-all these have combined to give a new aspect to farming.

The Eastern banker has set a good'example. and Ko Time to Lose! (Charlotte Observer.) Cotton ls now in demand in Brem./ en at 30 cents a pound, and it ls probable that a higher price would be gladly paid if the cotton could bo forthcoming In response to. the offer. Thirty-cent coton in Bremen ls the direct result of the British blockade. Sweden has been forced to place an embargo on cotton exporta, while Germany's supply through Italian. Dutch and other ports has been poe tically cut off.. As Theodore H. Price understands lt Great Britain now al lows cotton to go into Holland and Scandinavia only upon proof that it ia owned in good faith, by a ci tl sen of some neutral country. If there is any reason to belle Wi that lt ls, in fact, owned by or sold to a German citi zen the right of Intercesi?n ?nd ap propriation as enemy property 1s in sisted upon, seulement being made at the market value in, England. Price sees in the situation one Of extreme irritation to the Southern shipper who feels that by undirectlon he ls de prived of the rlghta he is legally en titled to exercise. He inclines to the belief Chat it "would be better for ?tl concerned lt England frankly put cot ton upon the contraband Hst, agree ing In ?orne way to compensate the American producer for the resulting damage." The Observer referred to thle phase ot the situation ? few days ago ?a the one which should enlist the attention of the administration at Washington, to the end that it might rte adjusted against the comicg of the present crop. - Conditions are different from last fall.
