LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR:—There
is is fear in love: but perfect love cast

HeQtht .feareth, is not made perfect in
love.—Of'John; ,4:18.
A WONDERFUL, DOCTRINE.,
If employers would spend halt as*
much time cultivating the friendship, re-e
Bisect and good will of labor as they do
fighting lahor ’organizations there would
not be a labor problem. Sherman Rog
ers. of New, York, today told the dele
gates to the fourteenth annual conven
tion of Rotary International in St. Louis.
“We waste too much time talking
about the labor agitator.” the speaker
said. “He can only be recognized as the
logical friend of the worker where the
management has refused to extend its
friendship.
“I was iu the Seattle shipyards work
ing as a helper in 1917 when Charles
Ml Schwab made his tour of the Ameri
can shipbuilding institutions. Wed
heard he was a labor hater.
“The first instant the great steel man
looked us over it was apparent to every
man in the bunch that Mr. Schwab really
liked him. He stepped on that platform
Charles 11. Schwab, autocrat, millionaire
magnate. He stepped off that platform.
30 minutes later friend Charles. In that
short 30 minutes he had destroyed the
hatred that agitators had been building
for 15 years.
“The world is built on ideals. Labor
wants to be square. If labor follows the
wrong leuder it is not because they want
to misunderstand but because the right
leader has "been asleep at the switch and
hasn't given the men a chance to under
stand him.
“There are three sides to every ques
tion—your side, the other fellow’s side
and the right side. I dou't believe there
ever was a question in either modern or
ancient history where either side to the
dispute was 100 per cent, right.
“Ninety-five per cent, of men, whether
they wear broadcloth or overalls, want
to play the game square. Lack of con
tact means lack of understanding.
“The employer has spent a lot of time
selling his honesty, his fairness and per
sonality to’ the banker, the wholesaler, the
retailer and the public. How much has
he spent trying to sell that same person
ality, honesty and fairness to his work
men? Solving a labor trouble is not a
mysterious affair. It is simply a propo
sition of using common horse sense.”
It is not always easy to put these
Ideals and aspirations into practice, but
. Mr. Rogers in his analysis is getting pret
ty close to the root of the trouble. If
the employer will spend as much time
proving to Ins qpaployes that he is fair
and square as he does proving the
thing to his banker, labor troubles would
be unknown.
We repeat, it is hard to gel these
things put into practice but it is undoubt
— edly that they are receiving more
consideration each year, and we are mak
ing steps in the right direct: in. Some
day such plans as Mr. Rogers has out
lined wi.l be practiced daily, and this
will be a better world for it.
ANOTHER TRADE EVENT.
The merchants of Concord, working
through the Merchants’ Association, re
cently staged a Trade Weelfc here that
eclipsed anything the city has ever
known in the way of business. The trade
. event was conducted for ten days and
thousands of dollars were spent for goods
and other commodities that were needed.
As a result, ,bothjthe merchants and the
shoppers prtsspeired.f TSStde Week was so
successful that-wriother trade event is, to
be staged here, to be known as Dollar
Sale Week.’
* ' The event will be Dojler Pay on an
advanced scale. Instekd of offering dol
Jar bargains -for one day. Nt is dona
a Dollar Pay Mjui* coveted,
jjclal merchant* have decided to offer dol- '
—-j —vt : -
lar bargains for eight days, beginning
Jane 22nd and continuing through Jane
30th. A large number of merchants have
agreed to co-operate in this sale, and
this should mean a successful ending lo
the undertaking. V /
This paper is carrying some of the
special sale advertisements. Others will
be carried later. Readers should take ad
vantage of these advertisements which
will convince aii^one,that real bargains
are to be offered by the merchants dur
ing the sale. The real value of adver
tising is not reached until both the mer
chant and the public prosper from it.
This end will be reached if these ads. are
read carefully and the bargains they
enumerate are taken advantage of.
EDITORS HEAR THE >
ANNUAL REPORT OF
THEIR PRESIDENT
(Continued from Page One)
idsist on a better standard of living,
of the introduction of various modern
conveniences, of better schools, of better
roads and in many ways it can help make
the rural sections more desirable places
to live in. It is somewhat distressing,
therefore, to note that the circulation
of the weekly newxpai>ers has not only
not, increased within the past ten years,
but- that it has actually decreased. For
instance, in New York State, the Fed
eral census reports show that the circula
tion of the weekly papers in New York
State was 25 i*er cent, less in 1919 than
in 1914: that is. the weekly newspaper
in that State decreased just 25 per cent,
in efficiency aud influence within the five
year period named. The daily newspa
per need not fear that the circulation of
the weekly papers will curtail or inter
fere with their own. Rather, in making
a community better and more progres
sive:.-the weeklies are at the same time
helping the dailies because a larger field
is created for them also.
I want to call particular attention to
a movement inaugurated two or three
years ago in which-every newspaper pub
lisher in the (South should exercise a vi
tal and active interest. ( It is tlta 'es
tablishment of the Lee' Memorial School
of Journalism at Washington and Lee
University at Lexington, Va. Robert E.
Lee was not only one of the greatest ,
military geniuses of the world, but he
was one of the wisest of educators. (Jen. ,
lac put new life into AVasliington and
Lee. and his five years’ work there will
always rank with the glories of his trans
cendent work on rile fields of battle ,
from 1861 to 1805. It is fitting that the ,
South, even at this late hour, should
erect to the memory of its revered hero
a suitable memorial. This is now about
to be done the establishment of the ,
Lee Memorial Sebfeol of Journalism at
the University. It is the plan of the ,
committee in charge to raise $125,000 *
first from the publishers of the South/
aud to use this as a basic argument to
enlist the support of the general public
iu this great enterprise. These pledges ,
are to be payable over a period of three
years or in any other way convenient to
the donor. Every newspaper , subscrib- ,
ing SI,OOO or more will have the privi
lege of awarding a scholarship worth S.XO
each year to some deserving young per
son who desires to study the profession
of journalism. I am gratified to state
that on Thursday evening Dr, Henry

Bringing Up Bill Taking literally A Task
- 11 Louis Smith; President of Washington
, 'and Lee, will be here to tell us about the
, 1 plans and progress of Yhe (Work in which
. he is taking the greatest interest. 1
sincerely hope that every member of our
’ Association may become -a contributor,
in a large or small degree, to the con
■ summation of this memorial.
I There are many subjects aSecting the
welfare of all of us which I would like_
to touch upon, such as co-operative bny
-1 ing, newspaper ethics, local advertising,
iad infinitum, but shall leave you to
.- thresh out these in your own way, and
I hope aIL-of them and mauy more will
be discussed intelligently and effective
ly on, this floor. I want> to toueh only
on one of the subjects mentioned, name
ly : Newspaper ethics. Last year I ap
pointed a committee (to prepare a code
of ethics for the North Carolina Press
Association, but it did not function, and
went immediately into a state of “inuoe- 1
uous desuetude.” A newspaper is a pro-1
ponent of public service, and it should |
be governed by ethical standards. Pri-1
vate selfishness should be eliminated, aud
the public good should always be para
mount. 'ln order to accomplish this in
the best and highest way, a general code
of ethics should be adopted and observed.
All other professions have their code
of ethics: and strange it is that the
Fourth Estate, which Edmund Burke
said is "far more important than they
all.” be the last of the great pro
fessions to set up a code by the adher
ence to which justice is guaranteed to
every man.
Recently the American Society of
Newspaper Editors held a most success
ful gathering in Washington for the
advancement of the professional rights
and privileges of Journalism. The out
standing achievement of this great con
vention was the adoption of a code of
ethics, and at the risk of taxing your
patience I am going to read it to you.
Here it is:
“The primary function of newspapers
is to communicate to human race what
its members do, feel, and think. Jour
nalism. therefore, demands of its practi
tioners the widest range of intelligence,
of knowledge, and of experience, as well j
as naturgl and trained powers of obser
vation ami reasoning. To its opportuni- 1
ties as a chronicler are indissolubly link- i <
obligations as teacher and inter-1
prefer.
"To the end of finding some means of;
codifying sound practice and jiist aspira
tions of American journalism these can- 1
ous are set forth:
I. ‘ .
"Responsibility—The right of a newspa
per to attract and hold readers is re
stricted by nothing but considerations
of public welfare. The use a newspaper
makes of the share of public attention
it gains serves to determine its sense of
responsibility, which it shares with ev
ery member of its staff. A journalist
who uses his power for any selfish or
otherwise unworthy purpose is faithless
do a high trust.
11.
“Freedom of the I’ress —Freedom of
the press is to be guarded as a vital right
of maukind. It is the unquestionable
right to discuss whatever is not explicit
15' forbidden by law. including the wis
dom of auy restrictive statute.
111.
"Independence—Freedom from all ob
ligations except that" of fidelity to the
public interest is vital. 1
“1. Promotion of any private interest
contrary to the general welfare, for what
ever reasou, is not comiwitiblc with hon
est journalism. So-called news eom
rauuicatioUK from private sources should
not be published without public notice
of their source or else substantiation of
their claims to value as news, both in
form and substance.
"2. Partisanship, iu eijjtorial comment
which knowingly departs from the truth
does violence to the best spirit of Amer
ican journalism : in the news columns it
is subversive of a fundamental- principle

“Sincerity, Truthfulness. Accuracy-
Good faith with the reader is the foun
dation of all journalism worthy of the
name. w
“1. By every consideration of good
faith a newspaper is constrained to be
truthful. It is not to be excused for a
lack of thoroughness or accuracy withiq
its control or failure to obtain command
of these essential qualities.
“2. Headlines should be fully war
ranted by the contents of the articles
they surmount.
’ V.
“Impartiality—Sound practice, makes
clear distinction between news reports
and expressions of opinion. News re
ports should be free-from opinion or'bias
of any kind.
"1 This rule does not apply to so-call-
I ed special articles unmistakably devoted
to advocacy or characterized by a signa
ture authorizing the writer’s own con
clusions and interpretations.
VI.
“Fair Play—A newspaper should uot
jmblish unofficial charges affecting repu
tation or moral ehaflmter without oppor
tunity given to the accused to be heard;
right practice demands the giving of
such opportunity in all cases of serious
accusation outside judieial proceedings.
”1. A newspaper should not invade
privnde rightjp-or feelings without sure
warrant of -public right as distinguish
ed from public curiosity.
“2. It is the privilege, as it is the duty
of a newspaper to -make prompt aud
complete correction Jat its own serious
mistakes of fact or opinion, whatever
their origin.
VII.
“Decency—A newspaper canot-escape
conviction of insincerity if while pro
fessing high moral purpose it supplies
incentives to ba.Js conduct, such as arc
to be found iu details of crime and vice,
publication of which is not demonstrably
for the general good. Lacking authority
to enforce its canons, the journalism '
here represented can but express the
hope that deliberate pandering to vicious
instinct will encounter effective public
disapproval or .yield to the influence of a
preponderant professional condemnation.”
j If nothing else I may say in this lit
| tie message impresses you or eu
; gages your attention, I want this to stick :
Support the North Carolina I’ress Asso
| ciation by giving it always your best
| thought and endeavor. It offers a ser
i vice to every editor and publisher which
pothiug else can give. Here one news
paper publisher who has been struggling
all the year with knotty problems which
probably, try as he may. he has not ;
been able to solve, can come aud meet <
with his fellow intblishers. and mayhap in 1
five minutes contact he may light upon ]
the solution which he has sought. We ■
stimulate and help gacli other by contact,
and the experience of the smallest pub
lisher is often times worth much. • fat
more than lie himself imagines. But you
cannot profit thus.—brethren, unless you
put everything aside twice a year and
come to these gatherings. We meet to
study newspaper problems ami we want
to help-each other and to put iuto action
methods which will insure better news
papers aud therefore better communities.
The North Carolina I’ress Association
should have at least active members.
While it has :
things with tile present size of its mem
bership. what could It uot do if every
editor and publisher in the State would
join it and give it the benefit through
out all the year of his best thought and
effort V «
For tlie past thirty-four years of the
fifty-one years since the organization of
the. North Carolina I’ross Association, I
have had some ]«irt qs a chief officer iu
directing its activities and in making it
what I believe it is—a great educational
aud constructive force. While this is
ray last year as an official of the Associa
tion in any capacity, I aip sure it ahoald;
hardly be necessary to state that, this
- does not mean that I dbai! no lohgek tike
- the greatest interest:' in the wnrlt the A»-
? sociation has still to accomplish. I
shall always cherish and revere the.aplen
-1 did history of the Association. I have
i given It my best years, and although thy
i life will soon be .in “the sere and yel
; low leaf,” I want always to face the ris
| ing sun. and I trust 3 shall never be
1 too old nor too much .engrossed'Mth vvther
I things to be unwilling to still contribute
i to the Association’s welfare. I have
; willingly given it my best thought and
work, sometimes to the neglect of my
, own businesß v aud this" I shall give to the
( end I love the Association, I repeat,
and shall look forward to. see It achieve
’ far greater things than it has in the
years that are gone.
I might in this paper, give you some
stock advice about sticking to your pub
lished rates, and throwing,out those who
demand a cut-rate, about keeping your
news and editorial columns clean and
your shop the snide way, and about tak
ing and studying trade papers, and many
other things, but I am going to close
this somewhat rambling .address by ear
nestly udmtmishiqg you to do just two
things, namely:
First—Take a more active interest in
the work of the North Carolina Press As
sociation.
Second —Get out a better paper than
you did last year.
