HOBBLING A FKhh l'HKSH.
Wi 11 ii*m Jennings Bryan. addressing
the International Pre?? 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

ENGLAND Al
(Chicago Tribune.)
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.

Farmer and Banker.
(Indianapolis News.)
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. It ta
less a speculation now and more ot a
business than, lt need to he.
And as such 1t ls beginning to be
accepted even tn the most conserva
