Mr. Kdnund ?lo S. Brunuer, Field
Survey Director ol' the Iiistit nl<> tor
Social and Religious Research, rc
ivntly urged publishers ol* country
j weekly newspajjers to be editors and
] not .jo.1) printers; and it is true that
! there is a vast difference between bo
i inu' the manager of a shop that wants
' printing to do, and being a real lie
editor with backbone enough to print
a first eass newspaper, and with opin
ions, ol its own ami the nerve t ?> ex
' press them.
It is the old controversy between
business office and the editorial room,
which, unfortunately, are vested in
the same person and a pine table, in
trost weekly offices.
Most weekly papers run printing
offices in connection with the paper,
it being necessary to do so, and all

of them have advertising space for
sale. We suspect that most of the
publishers know of both job printiug
and advertising, which mean money,
that could be theirs if, they would
soft-pedal! on their opinions, or sup
press news; and yet most of them
ring true and clear.
The business of publishing a news
pajK'r is a sacred trust. The press is
in reality the bulwark of liberty and
of civic righteousness. A fool or a
knave at the helm of a press is more
dangerous than he would be with
T. X. T. The editor's opinions on
public questions may not be right;
but if llicy are his, it is his duly to
?ive them to his leaders, whether ho
loses a .job of printing o?- not.
Thai is the only kind of a pajier
iliat is worth a dried apple to any
community ? one that prints the news
and expresses its opinions.
No, Mr. Brunner, The Journal is
not t'ojf sale. We want all the work
that we can get in a legitimate way;

THE WEEK
(By Dan Tompkins)
Thirty-three young, self-styled j
ommiinists were arrested by Wash
iitgtouj. police, lot having made fl dem- 1
oust rat ion in front of the White House
President Hoover heard of the affair,
and reqiutited that the l??ys and girls
be reU'iised and allowed to go home.
He made this stufemeirt The presi
dent considers that the misguide
youths raiting themselves ccmiruuists
who have been arrested for demon- 1
st rating in front of the executive of- 1
liires, should be released and sent ti
their parents. He does not believe i
that any such disturbances serio.isly j
endanger the republic,' and th::t aj
night in jail is doing them the fa
vor of cheap martyrdom". Mr.
Hoover struek exatly the right key.
The right way to deal with such
youngsters is to see to it that they
are given every protection of t':eirj
country. It must have made them feel
foolish, when the president would not
allow them to become martyrs. It
was a good spanking .that you t,ave j
the children, Mr. President
Tin* Alabama Democratic Kxcrut- ;
ive Committee, by a vote of 27 to 21,
| practically read Senator Heflin out
of the party, by denying bin: the right
to become a candidate in the Demo
cratic primary, to succeed himself, j
Of course the Democratic party, or
any other party is much better off
without men of the lleflin kidney;
but we can't, jielp believing that the
better way to dispose of them is in
the primary, where all the folks in \
the party can have their say.
Mr. A. .!. Maxwell, the North Caro
lina expert . on taw.s,^ AorporatH>ns,
and commercial relations, was not giv
en the place on the Inter-state Coir- ;
merce that many < f us liailv hoped
would be his. It r^as an ^appointment
that goes to the South and a Demo-j
crat, and Mr. Hoover could have done }
no better than to appoint Maxwell, i
He would have been worth a great:
deal to North Carolina, in that |>o- j
sition, ami would have reflected cred- (
it upon the president, who appoint- j
cd him. However, Mr. Hoover saw :
fit to go to Tennessee for his appoin
tee.
Governor Max Gardner is holding
his Live-At-Hoire dinner, honoring
the council of state and the North
Carolina Press Association, in the ,
mansion, tonight, and we are terribly
sorry that we wii't ho there. '11k
Live-At-Home idea is a good one,
and if North Carolina folks will fol- j
ow it up and put it into execution,
much money and much happiness will
bd kept in the State.
