NEWSPAPER PRINCIPLES Tiie other evenltig we had an ar gument with one of our friends it regaid to whether or not a newspa per should be anything more that just a moans of making money foi tiie owner. Our friend contend!;] that publishing a nowspaiper was jusi like any other business; that 11 should be managed In the way that would make the meat money. We ccrxuudcid that a newspaper was more than a money making business that its owner owed ?, duty to the public; that It Was a cKhc tnertitutlon and should endeavor to serve its com munity, its county. Its state, and1 the nation. Our friend was of the' oplncn that the editorial policy of the paper should not necessarily reflect the Vtonest opinions aiui oonvictkons cf the owner; that what was said edt(miallv stlOlilil he UM?nninn>l hv whether or not It wae poott business: that the policy might he decided because tit would brines good business to the paper; that it would1 be all right en public ques&ong to find out what would be popivl&r and profitable and .then advocate thorn things without regard to What might be the opinions of the owner on those ques done; that because It would be good busieces that a publisher might suppert public policies tx> which he was strongly opposed. r , l.u' our Judgment sudh a newspaper polity la mentally dishonest. An editorial' should always express th? stneere and honest convictioits of the owner of the owner of the paper on the matter discuaaod. Add other policy is hypocrliftoai. la an attempt to dcirelve the real'ters of the paper. U tho owner of a n?w?paper thinks It Ics best fcr the ppr.tplo that a certain aiil.' ja bo taicTii oa a public mat ter and then urgee them to take the opjv.vOtc. anticn because he thinks it wll make rim mcimey, he is unfair to hfte subscribers, misrepresents his petition ?jvd itakcu advantage of ' i. their ecwfidecnee In him.

ThAe to n rl?rt -which jhjcaild be dherlirfaed try poblisrers *md they should respect that rlghit by Epresstng only their honest ootsvicUorn. We would much rather make a financial raflure of our paper than not play fair wflth. our subscribers, with the people of our community, and with our country. Today we can eay that In the more than 28 years we have published the News-Herald we have never written an editorial that we t'l'd not believe every word fn it. Ti? h-ve written something we Itld not believe far money would ' have oav.ioi us to lews our self-respect We hope that before we will write an ed'ronttl w? do not believe that we will quV. the busfoeos.

The WPA has come up with anoth er now "relief' Idea. It has offered Immortality cn canvass to all public officials whetn It dooms "worthy" ol preservation for posterity. Any public official can have hie portrait painted in oil by the WPA 3f be can prove his worthiness to the satisfaction of the WPA. More than 200 government officials already have had gratified their wish to see themselves perpetuated. Sever al hundred others have sent in applications. Eight artists are at work c.n the project and WP ,ays it has unough applications to keep 100 paint ers busy for a year. The paintings remain, the property of thee government, but may be loan ed to cities, oountiqB and States for (Xsplay to "impress the natives" of tho ''worthiness of their public officials. Members In the House noticed* a newcomer sitting on the House floor one day recently. He was absorbed in the debate. Members assumed, affor u-he>i>?rfntr q m r*n c IhfimflpIvAa. /that he was a former member. One' legislator, however, asked the doorkeeper to Identify the man. He did r.ot know him so they diplomatically Baked the stranger if he hadi the privilege of the floor. "Oh no," he said, "my name Is Plunkett and I am Just looking around." So to a. visiting stranger who will go i'f.ro tho records simply as "Mr. Plunkett." goes the distinction of be I ing the only sight-seer ever to have j fat In Ccaigre^s, eveni for a few tnin I nuts. From the Peop!e j By RAYMOND PITCAIUN National Chairman ? Sentinels of the liepublie ?? I Washington, It seems, has been hear Ing again from varied groups of our population. A large number of housewives have mads formal pretest against the rising costs of homemaking 'threatened by reckless exivmrHtnrc nf niiHtie fimHc A famous automobile manufacturer has discussed current problems at a White House luncheon. Groups of men prominent in business and financial affairs have urged constructive action and co-operation in steps leading toward recovery. A number of notable liberals have Insisted on the right of every man to earn a living. And from countless homes and offices throughout the nation have gone letters demanding that Ccngress think in terms of increased production and employment, rather than political objectives. Washington should heed such suggestions. They come largely from the people themselves?whom the men that wrote our Constitution recognized as Urn source of all authority. They reflect a growing na''onal oonccm over a record of droopmg indices of production/mounting lists of unemployed. Increasing burdens of taxation and debt, and the continued substltu tlon of a thin relief for the steady Jobs which millions seek and only construc? tlve recovery can supply. Edicts, theories and experiments, however hopefully submitted, have not supplied the answer. But the spirit and the enterprise of the people themselves have solved similar problems In the past. And there la every reason to believe that, given free scope, they will again. Certainly the people have a right to demand that opportunity. a thorougbgc'ing plan to help . move (he cotton surplus has been scheduled for the week beginning May 30. G.i wvdwork will be Cone ta the mean fane to rill-nutate the eale of cotton goods andi other allied products.
