Harrington, director of the Medill jSchooL of Journalism at Northwestern University, Evai\*ton, 111., recently said that the hanking emergency "through which our country had then just passed,. ngain proved conclusively that there w no substitute for the newspaper." "J'anic and hysteria have (been averted by the newspapers' prompt, complete, and unemotional chronicle of what has happened," he said. '*There is, of course, no doubt that the radio served effectively alongside tho newspapers," Professor Harrington said, "but it has not supplanted the work of tho Washington correspondent on the scene. (Because it is , limited in ownership, the radio cannot have access to every home, but daily papers are read by thousands who do not' own radios, but who havo access to an inexpensive newspaper. The newspaper has been able to supply a detailed, permanent record, a record verified and brought up to date by trained investigators who never left the job." a "Press associations hnvo carried . the tidings of tho moratorium to every nook and cranny of our land, so that the newspaper ofi'ice has become the most important distribution center of every community, and from it has issued the complete and correct interpretation of the situation in Washington, and the explanation of how the moratorium Will afTect individual business enterprises and every citizen." "It would havo been a calamity indeed," he added, "if there had been a moratorium on newspapers! Panic and hysteria have been averted by the newspapers' prompt, complete, and unemotional chronicle of what has happened. Newspapers havo given the American citizens an unparalleled demonstration of cooperation and unstinted service for the general good and havo furnished the raw material of sound public opinion." x When the tornado destroyed the mill at Belton, Mrs. Annie Brown, at work in the sewing room of the mill, had her sweater blown off her body and carried away.

Governor Blackwood gave Jim 'Cromer, sentenced for life for murder, leave of absence from .the penitentiary, to go to his home in i Cherokee county to solicit money to 1 hire a lawyer to get him a pardon .from that same governor.
