Aw AreHeerg-Wewe' The World Press Congress (Christian Science Monitor) Some one. himself a newspaper man. .40 doubt, has spoken of journalism as & profession of public service. It is hardly to be suspected that the public, those who read the daily and weekly journals of the present time, will question this dignified assumption. Journalism is a public service. If it la not this it is neither Journalism nor ervlee. So it has come to be commonly un (erstood, in what is regarded as the modern school of journalism, that the lay has lone: since passed when a newspaper, if successful and useful, can te the organ of an individual, or of a party or clique. It require! no Creat effort to recall the time. In the his'.ory of the United States, for ln tance, when mehy of the greater newspapers bore the brand of the "house organ." They were then, even more than ndw, either the personal jreapons of their owners or editors, or the weapons of offense and defense of the political party by which they were bslgiized or supported. Perhaps some such impulse was required for the founding and the nurturing, a half eentury ago, of some of the Journals which have became trreat and pow erful despite the handicap under which they were launched. Personal ami ition and partisan necessity ac complished what then might have been regarded impossible as an altruistic undertaking, or- as a. business or pro fessional venture. The development, growth, and progress of the American newspaper during the last 50 years have kent ae with developments in ether undertakings, Industrial, educa tional, and social. Perhaps it may be aid truthfully that the newspapers have often led in progTessiye-ileYelep, ment. Certainly they have seldom heen laggard. It is interesting, in comparing the representative American newspapers ef today with those of a few decades ago, to .trace the methods and causes of development and growth. It is qualiy interesting "to speculate as to the contemporaneous influences whleh have been . reflected in the higher standards ef Journalism and. .in bet tered soclair educational, and indus trial conditions throughout the land. The moot question Is, Whleh was cause and which was effect? Have higher journalistic standards been re flected in society, or have Improved gocial conditions been reflected in the press? All ex parte statement of what 1 might be claimed to be the facts in the case would not be permitted, and even an advocate admittedly biased must concede that the proofMs not all Have We Reduced Prices ?

In Honolulu, on October 4 next, there is to be held the long deferred meeting of the press con gress of the ' world. Perhaps during the sessions of the congress, which are to continue until October 14, there will be heard spokesmen of the press who, surrounded by what may seem to be an overwhelming majority of those maintaining the same view, will un hesitatingly proclaim the newspaper the leader and the pioneer in all great reform movements. A specially pre pared brief, to be presented to a gathering composed entirely f parti sans of the newspaper, would be satis factorily convincing, fpr the time be ing, and might even be regarded as final and conclusive. But It may be that even a unanimous verdict Jn ac cord with the claims of the advocates would not be accepted as binding by an interested public, which might reasonably Insist that all great con structive and reconstructive processes, wherever effective, are co-operative or com-pensational. This forthcoming- press congress, while it will be held under American auspice nominally, will, in fact, be representative of the press of the entire world. The foundation for the organisation has been carefully laid, as was shown by the scope of the work undertaken at the last meeting, in San Francisco, California, at the time of the Panama -Pacific interna tional exposition, in 1916. At that con gress there were accredited delegates from nearly every country in the world, although the effect of the war, already begun in Europe, was serlous- ly felt. The program outlined for the j Honolulu meeting promisee to be even more comprehensive and -Interesting than that which had been tentatively prepared for the sessions orieinn planned to be held In Sydney, Austra lia, in 1918. The continued unsettled world conditions made the holding of the 1918 meeting inadvisable, and it was postponed until 1920. only to be again deferred until the present year. The comparative inaccessibility of Sydney as a meeting place, because of the great cast of oeean transportation, led to the announcement made in De eember last, by the Australian Minis ter of Education, that it had been der elded to abandon the plans for the Sydney meeting. So the congress came back to America through a, cordial invitation extended. by the governor and press of Hawaii. Al ready Hawaiians have sent their mes sage of greeting around the world, with the assurance aft a eerdjal and sincere welcome to those who earn to work and to play for a season upon -WELCOME WEEK, JULY 18th and 29rd" their bea-ehes and in their groves "Aloha!" in 'Hawaiian Is a greeting of welcome, an assurance of brotherhood, affection, and boundless hospitality, and a fond farewell "till we meet again."

MORE LIFE IS SEEN IN THE COTTON SITUATION Reports - of Increasing Export and Domestic Demand Fol low June Crop Report NEW YORIC, July 9. Reports of an increasing export and domestic trade demand have followed the publication ef the end' June prop figures and the settlement ef the British coal strike in the cotton market. Buying n these features was check ed during the earlier part of the past week by the fear ef increased spot of ferings en advances. Later, however, a firmer spot basis was reported in the south owing te an Improved export der mand and prices here made new high ground for the movement during Fri day's trading, with October contracts selling at If 93 . compared with 11-12, the low record of last month, and 13.99 the best price touched on the advance ef last May. According to local brokers, buyers have not found much encouragement In the news from the goods trade which has been more or less irregular, while seme increased curtailment has been reported among the yarn mills. Mid week reactions were promoted by a fairly favorable weekly review of crop progress by the weather bureau, and there has been no serious criticism of weather' conditions since then. - The increased spot sales .reported in the southern markets at moderate ad vances and larger hedge selling also tended to held the market in check during the earlier part of the week, as indicating- that buyers were securing cotten qult readily- Toward the close of the week, however, It was reported more difficult to buy in both eastern and western sections than when price were a cent pounds lower. These reports combined with smaller arrivals here for delivery on contracts, the increased spot business reported in 4verpeol and Indications of a reviving Lancashire demand, were largely re sponsible for the late week advances.
