UNDERCURRENTS
I do not mistrust the fu
ture. Dangers have been in
frequent ambush along our
path, hut we have uncover
ed and vanquished them all.
Passion has swept some of
our communities, but only
to give us a new demonstra
tion that the great body of
our people are stable, patri
otic and law-abiding. No
political party can long pur
sue advantage at the ex
pense of public honor or by
rude and Indecent methods,
without protest and fatal
disaffection of its own body.
The peaceful agencies of
commerce are more fully
revealing the necessary un
ity of all our communities,
and the increasing inter
course of our people is pro
moting mutual respect. We
shall find unalloyed pleas
ure in the revelation which
our next census will make
of the swift development of
the great resources of some
of the states. Each state will
bring its generous contribu
tion to the great aggregate
of the nation's increase. And
when the harvest from the
fields, the cattle from the
hills and the ores from the
earth shall have been weigh
ed, counted and valued, we
will turn from them, all to
crown with the highest hon
or the state that has most
promoted education, virtue,
justice and patriotism
among its people.

The farmers watch the strike news
anxiously, but we suppose another
item they'd like to read in their
i neighborhood would be "No Game
today rain."
-:o:
Praying for rain, preaching the
gospel of repentence and shouting
"amen" as the preacher scores a
point in a 6ermon or prayer seem to
be three things that have gone out
of fashion' in American churches.

The newspaper business seems to
be entering a new period. There is a
kind of public interest in the tech
nique of news gathering, editing and
publishing that is different. Perhaps
it is one more indication of the prog
ress of democracy through the an
cient hierarchies or feudal grada
tions.
Once upon a time the doings of
kings and princes were not to be
questioned by the common herd. Too
much wasn't allowed to get about as
to the plans or methods.
Then there was a good deal of mys
tery down through the ages attach
ed to the religious function. When
you had to scare people Into being
good by prophesying eclipses or
dropping a bunch of burning leaves
into a natural gas well, it didn't do
to have too many people inquire in
to processes.
Nowadays, thanks to the vigilance
and efficiency of the press, quite as
much as to the growth, of the demo
cratic idea, everybody knows all
about what King George has for
lunch, and everything every relig
ious organization does gets publish
ed somewhere or other, and every
American knows ho wevery govern
ment ought tobe run, even if it isn't,
and every college student knows
what every one of the faculty is paid.
Curiously, the last stronghold of
mystery was the newspaper. Per
haps because everybody in newspa
pers was so busy getting in and get
ting out the facts and stories about
everybody else and everybody else's
business, and took for granted the
facts and poetry of his own, the pub
lic never heard much about newspa
pers from the inside. Reporters were
often regarded as disagreeable or ter
rifying persons, which could make or
destroy a business or reputation with
a whiff of words. And so it goes.
