Editors and Propagandists
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE has not had any newspaper train-1
ing such as his predecessor had but he has a grasp of the
difficulties that confront newspaper editors in separating truth
from propaganda that is only part truth.
Speaking before a meeting of the Society of Newspaper Ed-
itors in Washington recently he declared that a public press un-
hampered is a true instrument under a republic for true repre-
sentation and sound and logical interpretation of truth and con-
tinued:
“The public press under an autocracy is necessarily a true j
agency of propaganda. Under a free government it must be the j
very reverse. Propaganda seeks to present a part of the facts |
to distort their relations and to force conclusions which could
‘not be drawn from a complete and candid survey of all the facts.
This has become one of the dangers of the present day. The great
difficulty in combatting unfair propaganda or even in recog-
nizing it arises from the fact that at the present time we con-
front so many new and technical problems that it is an enormous;
task to keep ourselves accurately informed concerning them. Ini
this respect you gentlemen of the press face the same perplexi- (
ties that are encountered by legislators and government admin-
istrators. Whoever deals with current public questions is com-
pelled to rely greatly upon the information and judgment of ex-J
perts and specialists. Unfortunately not all experts are to be
trusted as entirely disinterested. Not all specialists are without:
gUile. In our increasing dependence on specialized authority
we tend to become easier victims for the propagandists and need
to cultivate sedulously the habit of the open mind. * * Of ed-
ucation and of real information we cannot get too much. But of
propaganda which is tainted or perverted information we can
hot have too little.” i
The president in that language has shown just what every
editor who seeks to mirror the truth is up against. The average
person has no ided how newspaper offices are flooded with pam-
phlets books so-called news stories of persons and organizations
seeking free publicity and how many persons call upon the ed-
itor seeking aid for his proposition.^ Some of this propaganda is
Worthy of support; much more of it is worthy only of the waste-
basket. In like manner some of the personal solicitation merits
the co-operation of the editor but very often back of it all is mere
sen-sought gain? ’* * * * * * * ~ +- j
’* ; To discriminate between the true and the false between
whole truths and half truths is one of the great difficulties of
the editor. He .wishes to promote every worthy cause and to be
of use he is often imposed upon. He cannot know everything; he
has to rely sometimes upon the experts; and so occasionally he
unwittingly furthers someone’s well’hidden scheme. Yet he is
l6n his guard most of the time and the public little knows how
‘much of the real propaganda lands in the wastebasket.

1 India Protests Traffic in Monkeys
rL---;
f'T'HE PEOPLE of India appear to be more concerned over the
* fate of the monkeys that come out of their forests than they !
are of the traffic that has developed as the result of the craze in
the western world for glands for the rejuvenation of the aged.
India attaches more importance to animal life than does the
West. It has its sacred cows and its sacred monkeys and pro-
tests all slaughter of animals. Illustrative of this aversion to
slaughter of animal life a prominent official of the Southern
Pacific railroad says that some years ago on the California lines1
many Hindus were employed on track work. They were easily
handled he said until a train would come along and kill someone’s
cow when with one accord they would quit and refuse to return
to work. i
. There is reason back of it all. The Eastern people believe in
reincarnation and evolution. They hold that Tiumans have come
up through the lower animals and that the animals of today will
in the future occupy human bodies. There is therefore a feel-
ing that these animals are “younger brothers” who are in need
of their help. Thus instead of cruel treatment we see them at-;
taching something of sacredness to some of their animals and:
protesting slaying of all others. Not all. of course take that
View but the idea that animals are a part of evolving life is pret-
ty. well engrained in the Hindu and Buddhist religions and as a
whole these Eastern people are less cruel to animals than are we
of the We3t.

HUNT’S DAILY
LETTER
By HARRY B. HUNT
WASHINGTON.—Judicial experience
contrary to general opinion is not a
prerequisite to service on the Supreme
Court of the United States.
A majority of the judg s now serving
on the Supreme Court in fact never
sat behind the bar until they donned
the robes of associate' justices on the
nation’s highest tribunal.
This practice of picking men with-
out former judicial exp rience has in-
creased in recent years.
Whereas 10 years ago all hut one of
the members of the court had seen pre-
vious service on subordinate benches
today only four of the nine won their
appointments by way of promotion.
Of the last seven appointments to the
court five were of men who had never
befete qualified for the-title of "judge.”
• % •
This increasing tendency to pick for
the highest court legal luminaries who
have made their records off the bench
is emphasized by the appointment of
Harlan F. Stone to fill the seat va-
cated by former Justice McKenna.
Stone’s appointment turns the major-
ity on the court to the side of the lay
lawyers making the fifth member who
jumped from pleader to associate jus-
tice as against four m mbers who work-
ed their way up th ough lower courts.
Others in this group who first don
ned judicial lobes as members of th»
highest court are McReynolds Bran
deis Sutherland and Butler.
The four who served time on lowo
courts and reached the Supreme Court
by way of judeinl promotion ate Chiel.
Justice Taft and Associate* Justices
Holmes. Van Devantcr and Sanford.
Whatever el? may he the result o’
Stone’s appointment one thing seems
sure. He will bring new* viger and
force to it* nV»»sical makeup.
Stone is stil famous at Amherst as-the
most stalwart center rush in that col-
lege’s football histoty.
Unlik Chief Justice Taft who has
hulk without muscular force Stone ha?
bulk plus muscle. His broad shoulder*
and barrel-like chest aren’t padded with
fat. As he walks he swings along it
a loose poweiful stride like an amia
ble mastodon.
There seems to be no effort hehin<
the stride but—try to stop him. Hi*
mere physical momentum is terrific.
* * *
There always seems to be some sen
ctor who keeps a diary. In th* presen
senate it is Ilenry Ashurst of Arizona
Some day Ashurst’s daily chronicles of
the doings in the upper house may fil*
in many missing links in the chain o*
history.
Back in the first senate under Pres
id* nt Washington William Maelav o
Pennsylvania wrote his daily dozer
lines to record interesting phases of of
ficial life.
Since the season cf official diners is
now on in Wa shington. it may be in
foresting to note what Maelav wrote i*
his diary about a presidential dinner in
Washington's day.
# * *
“Wtnt to the president’s to din*irr
he wrote under date of Aug. 27. 17 '*
“The president and Mrs. Washing*
sat oppyosit? to each other in the mid-
dle of the table; the two secretaries
one at t ach end. It was a great dinner
and the best cf the kind I was ever at
The room however was disagreeably
warm.
“First was the soup; fish roasted
and boiled; meats gammon fowls etc.
This was the dinner. The middle of the |
table was garnished in a tasty way with
small images flowers etc. The dessert
was first apple pies puddings etc.
then iced ereams. jellies etc. then wat-
ermelons. muskmelons. apples peaches
nu's. It was the most solemn dinner 1
ever sat at.”
MRS. THOMAS ILL
DALLAS. T<x. Jan. 22.—Mrs. Charles
Thomas of Lewisville is in a serious
condition at a local hospital suffering
from heart trouble. Her husband was
speaker of the house in the thirty-fifth
legislature.
