STATUS OF COUNTY EDITOR
(Radio talk given by Field Secre
tary H. C. Hotaling, From Station
WLAG, Minneapolis.)
“Only in a land where the press is
free will civilization, progress and li
berty reach their highest pinnacle.
I am glad to say that Amerca believes
in a free press. Here the newspaper
has been pronounced “the greatest
I single factor and force in influencing
the ideas and ideals of the people.”
In America public questions and is
sues are freely discussed upon the
printed page of the metropolitan daily)
the magazine and the modest home
town weekly. It was all right two
thousand years ago to follow the me
thod of the town crier, who went from
door to door spreading the mandates
of the king by word of mouth. Not
so today, the people want to have the
facts in their paper, no matter where
on the globe things of importance
take place. They want to study pub
lic questions and immediately turn to
the editorial page for the conclusions
of the editor. They want to read what
others have to say on the subject be
fore reaching a final decision and
would not for a moment tolerate a
suppression of the press.
It was Jefferson who said, if he
were compelled to choose between a
government without newspapers and
newspapers without a government he
would give first place to the newspa
pers, and he was right; realizing
fully that the newspaper would not
be long in educating the masses
to the need of a safe and sane form
of government.
Over in Russia, a free press is an
unknown factor. To quote Krylen
ko, the public prosecutor, they have
a different way of educating the peo
ple. In the case of the State vs. Ar
chbishop Zipliak, this representative
of the law said: “We demand the
death penalty not because we are
bloodthirsty, but because it is neces
sary to make the people understand
that we allow no one to attempt to
overthrow the revolutionary people’s
government.”
“I leave it to my listeners which
they prefer, a land where the press
is free to help the people understand
and settle public questions, or a land
where the noose, the rifle, and the
guillotine are the guiding forces in
convincing the porletairat. We be
lieve that you will prefer the more
peaceful implements of the pen and
its substitute, the typewriter, for in
every age it has been conceded that
the pen is mightier than the sword.
Furthermore brute force does not
build for a better civilization. Such
methods may temporarily hold the
people in restraint, break their cour
age and render them subject to those
holding the reins of authority, but
it cannot long succeed in holding a
nation down. In America, the torch
of an enlightened press brightens the
highway that leads from darkness
to light. This is evident by the dif
ference in conditions as they prevail
under our glorious banner of liberty,
the stars and stripes, and the condi
tions existing under the flaming ban
ner?* the red across the sea. And
conditions are growing worse over
there, for there is a prevalence of
pestilence and death, famine and
threatened cannibalism.
“I have been asked to speak of the I
country press, the home town paper, |i
I 'ortoon from The Farm J+Hrnai, July 1023 ~ (
'the ivav ft always So work
that is read and re-read by every
member of the family. It never oc
cupied a higher place in the estima
tion of its constituency than it does
today. It is universally recognized
as being free and uncontrolled; the
I one big force that can be relied upon
I to properly direct the political and
civic thought in the right direction.
The mind, and also the heart, of the
country publisher is in the work he
is doing, and his main thought is
! not that of benefiting any one class
but of accomplishing the greater
good for the largest number.
The classification of the editorial
profession is very different from the
| days when cordwood and cabbage
H | were taken on subscription. Today,
I in the White House at Washington,
Warren G. Harding, (written before
H Mr. Harding’s death), a country pub-.
Usher, guides the destinies of this
great nation. In California, Friend
Richardson, another country publish
jjj er, is the chief executive. In the
United States Senate and Congress,
at Washington, are many men who
as boys gained their first knowledge
of public affairs when printer’s de
vils, and who later in life became
publishers of country newspapers.
They are proud of their connection
with the home town paper, knowing
that public opinion, the ruling force
in government, is largely formed by
the press.
No man in any community has a
larger field of service than the coun-
R try editor. No man, whether mer
chant or banker, has greater oppor
tunities for success. The country
publisher and his publication should
be and in most matters are the cor
ner stone around which community
life centers. His newspaper may be
his personal property, but its prero
gative is greater than any financial
| returns to its owner. It gives its
| very life blood, so to speak, for the
jl good of others, for the advancement
I of every interest that has for its
I purpose the prospeirty of that com
munity which centers in the town or
village where the publication is lo
cated. No other business enterprise
I is conducted along the same lines.
Its space is gladly and freely given
for the upbuilding of the rural dis
tricts. Its readers expect this ser
k vice and receive it as a matter of
, fact. From his outpost he suggests
and brings to his people new ideas
for betterment, he catches up the ad
vancing thoughts of his community
- people, and by giving them open ex-
pression also assists the prosperity
of his community.
The opportunities for service, the
■ chance to do something for human-,
ity and for future generations is so
s great in newspaper field that the
r men of ambition, are daily being call
t ed into the work. The power of the
? newspaper for educational develop
ment is universally recognized. It is
* a great force in industrial progress
e and no great industry has ever been
, put across without wide publicity—
e without newspaper advertising. It is
o a vital force for the advancement of
- civilization. Uncontrolled and unchain- j
1 ed either by labor unions or big busi- i
s ness it is free to express its honest
t convictions, and does so without hosi
er tancy, and the newspaper without an
2 editorial column is like a man without
5 a backbone —a sort of jelly fish.
You, who are living in the rural dis- !
) tricts, know your home town publish- j
3 er intimately. You know that he is 1
t a man of standing in the community,
- that his publication is not only clean
1 but free from the nauseating details
i of vice and crime so prominent in
the metropolitan press. There is no
; pandering on his part to build up a j
i large circulation list by appealing to
! that which is vicious, which is degrad
t ing in life, but rather an appeal to |
| What Is a Dollar Worth? 1
’ | To some folks it is worth mighty little. I
! | To some it is worth many times as much. |
; I But always a dollar is worth just what it will buy. 1
1 ;! Benjamin Franklin when he came to Philadelphia with |
a dollar, and left it after a long life of industry and fru- |
'!! gality, said that the most valuable thing he ever bought |
i I > with money was a whistle. He saw the whistle, and had
s 1 ; just enough money to buy it. After he bought it he tired |
!! of it shortly, and then realized that he had let go of his |
!!! money, which would have bought him something more |
I; J useful, and had nothing but the whistle to Show for it. |
Right there he learned the lesson, to hang on to money x
: I I until it would get him something worth while. |
| He nut his money into the banks then and took it out I
!J ► when he could make it bring him something really worth t
.!► the money. . f
; It Franklin was one of the wealthiest men in America $
| j[ when he died. . %

sll gone forever. Put your money in ?

all to aim for that which is high and
noble, to those things that are con-i
structive. His paper is the mirror;
j that reflects the life of the district
j in which his publication is isssued, and
: he wants that communtiy to stand out
|in the best light possible. He is
proud of his home section, and his
publication is his creation. No other
institution contributes more for the
i good of the community. Its columns
are open to the church, the school and
in fact to every good cause. The
clergyman finds the editor a true
friend and brother, the superintendent j
of schools knows him as a willing co-1
worker, the librarian at the public j
library has proved him a reliable and
able assistant; the farmer can always
rely upon his home town publisher to
promote all co-operative organizations.
| His paper ever takes the lead in as
-1 sisting the agricultural interests. His
, job is a big one, his responsibilty
i great, for he must in reality concen
; trate and place into action the
thought and ideas of those who make
up his constituency. From his office
is broadcasted to every farmside in
I his jurisdiction the work that brings
i the people together and promotes the
welfare and well being of society.
The country publisher has ever
< stood like a rock in support of Amer-
I ican ideas and American principles.
• His loyalty and adherence to princi
-1 pie have made a name for the country
. publisher so that today the great me
-1 tropolitan press is glad to recognize
I the judgment and sound business
j ideas promulgated by their rural
brothers.”
Example—Not “Don’t.”
You can’t eliminate the word
“please” from your vocabulary and
then expect your children to use it.
Children learn more by observation
and example than by “do’s” and
| “don’ts”
I That’s what Mrs. J. A. Smith, pre
j sident of the Cleveland, Ohio, Con'
gress of Mothers, says. She has rear
ed a family of her own and knows
what she is talking about.
“Laxity in our own manners when
we are at home alone with the child
ren is what is responsible for their
lack of manners when they are out
among other people,” says Mrs. Smith.
When teaching children obedience,
; Mrs. Smith suggests as few don’ts as
! possible.
Can Restore Life, But—
Medical science can now restore life
!to the body, but the brain remains
dead. So says Dr. McMechan at a
scientific conference in Chicago. Dr.
j McMechan cites the case of a woman
in Atlanta who was restored to life
[three years ago, but she is an embe
cile and does not know she is living,
j Adrenalin, most powerful stimulant
known, gives the tremendous shock to
I the heart necessary to restore life.
! How long a person may be dead and
still be restored to life is not known;
but surgeons know that a person dead
i more than seven minutes loses the
, brain, even though made to live again.
For this reason surgeons hesitate to
use adrenalin. Without the brain the
body is a hulk. The real man is lock
ed up in the skull until death liber
| ates him, as we are taught to believe.
