Today Lots of Ncus. Including Good News, and Other Things. By ARTHUR BRISBANE The world is full of news. It contes from every corner. Mr. Mellon, a secretary of the treasury who really understands money and economy, reports that within a year the debt of the United States government, which means of the people, has been reduced more than $600,000,000. That’s good. Seven women have been elected to the parliament of Great Britain and will have their say in govern ing the British empire. That’s very good. Putting seven women in the house of commons is like putting boric acid in the wrater with which you wash your chil dren’s little eyes and noses. Very purifying. Obregon, the Mexican president, has a fight on his hands, but he knows how to attend to it. He is the original Mussolini and Primo Rivera combined. Bugs Baer says a “Mexican natural death is being shot in the back,” but Obregon won’t die that “natural death.” News comes that the pope will make Archbishop Hayes of New York, a cardinal. Whether you are a good Catholic or a wicked “A. P. A." you cannot help admir ing the wisdom of old "Rome that knows how to pick strong men in the first place, and then encourage them.” Bishop Hayes, at the head of the greatest Catholic diocese in America, and perhaps in the world, has several big fights on his hands. The pope sends him all the author ity that he can send. A new situation in England, with Baldwin losing his control in the house of commons. The labor party is now the second party. It will play the role that the Irish party used to play in ancient days when this writer reported sessions of the house for Charles A. Dana and the New York Sun. The London stock market is shivering. All wealth comes from labor, but wealth doesn’t want to see labor on top of the heap. Our young countrywoman. Lady Astor, wins her seat in spite of socialists, who think her husband too rich, and in spite of labor men, who said that they didn’t want their laws made by a Yankee girl with a Yankee husband. They say his brother uses the London Times to make England pay its debt to America. They don’t know the Astors. The city of Cleveland, thanks largely to Mark Hanna, and its municipal thinking to Tom John son—men far apart—is now to be run by its first “city manager” as predicted by the Cleveland News, owned and run by Mark Hanna’s grandson. William Rowland Hop kins, a man of ability and wealth, is unanimously chosen city man ager by the council. It is an in telligent idea to take the business end of city management out of politics, picking as manager the ablest man to be found, regardless of party or wire pulling. The ex periment will interest other big cities. ' ( Congress voted a pension of $5, 000 a year for life to the widow of ex-President Harding and every body will applaud that. Had he not been president, and overwork ed, Mrs. Harding would still have her husband and a happy life. Piece together scattered dis patches, and you get this, as a picture: France fears that Germany is about ready to strike a blow for revenge. Germany fears and believes that France has determined upon the absolute destruction of Germany, to insure French safety. Italy fears the dominating power of France and forms alliances with Spain and Russia. Greece fears Italy—having had a good lesson and severe humilia tion in the Corfu matter, and im ■ plores Venizelos to return to power and do the thinking of which the Greek king is incapable.

Nab u State Editors Draft Policy * of Free News Gram! Island Meeting Pre pares Resolutions to Sub mit to INebraska Press Association. Grand Island, Neb., T)eo. y.—At one of the best attended district editorial meetings yet held here, there was adopted for the guidance of the edi tors in the district, and for sub mission to the Nebraska Stafte Press association, a declaration of policy toward free publicity, advertising, and undesirable publicity. This action followed a program of discussion on very titncly subject^, such as “What Is News,” “The Advertising Agency,” “Should Newspapers Take a Practical Interest in Politics,” “View Points of an Editor’s Wife, ' and “Ways and -Means of Collecting Suliseriptions.” By unanimous vote, the next meet ing was to take place several months after the state meeting at Ord, the exact time to he fixed by President I-eggett and other officers. The re port of the committee on ethics, ap pointed at a previous meeting, will be submitted to the state association on the authority of President Kroh, who named this same committee on In structions from the state executive board- The only amendment made to the presented report was the addition of the sentence referring to the re fusal of publicity for enterprises com ing in conflict with state laws. First Duty to Readers. The adopted standard, as it will be submitted to the state press as sociation for its action, is as follows: "Relieving that a newspaper's first obligation to those who subsc ribe and pay for It, from time to time, la the convey ance of news and of the paper's honest and firm opinions and convlctiona as to the public needs; and persuaded that any departure from that obligation, and the deprivation of news for the sake of personal gains of any few or even a special class of Its readers, or of other persons or institutions, la deleterious to the business of publishing and to the editorial profession, the following is here by adopted by the Loup Valley Editorial association as a recommended standard of ethics In the relation of the press to the public and to Its patrons. The newspaper is a private enterprise It requires no charter from the state. It enjoys no endowment from any source It obligates Itself, especially, when be ginning business, only to meet the re quirements and to obey the federal stat utes and regulations of the Postoffice department in order to be entitled to second class postal rates. Because of the nature of Us business, it is true, It carries a high responsibility to organized society, and it is a responsibility that should al ways be borne ?n mini; but that responsl. bllity goes out to patron and nont>airon alike, and can never be urged by any Individual, group of Individuals, organiza tion religious creed or political party for the benefit of their respective inter ests or tenets. Publicity and News. These ar»* times and circumstances, however, when that which we call free publicity la so closely Interwoven with the public interest that It is perfectly legiti mate. If, Indeed, there is not an Implied obligation on the part of tha publisher to give free publicity to the maximum ex tent hi* facilities permit as practical Promotion publicity requested by and ex tended, for instance, to chambers of com merce. membership In which Is open to all citizens on even terma and regardless of their creed, political complexion or economic status; or to public fair as sociations. etc., not supported by taxation and depending upon Individual effort without any Individual reward, may very properly be given free, and a* the news paper’* support of euch purely public enterprises. In many other matters the line be tween news-value and advertising U closely drawn. Announcements of church services, concise and free of individual promotion Ideas, for Instance, are con strued as containing news value and may properly he classified as free publicity where facilities permit and If the an nouncement privilege Is given to all denominations alike. Times, place* and circumstance* differ, and it Is quits Im possible to draw the line between news and promotion or advertising completely. Too Many Free Notices. It Is agreed, however, that advance notices for shooting matches, fair*, for private or group benefit*, school baaket auppers. bazars, church euppers rum mage, auction nr other sales; benefit con certs even when only a free will" of fering is announced In place of price* of admission: advance theatrical nofires, announcements of moving picture shows or entertainments; cards of thanks; all obituary matter not published In connec tion with the Immediate newa report of a death, and especially what la referred to an "obituary poetry;" verbatim reso lutions of respect; announcements of all meetings excepting those of a pure!1, public nature and absolutely free of an» direct or Indirect rommerclsllim; and all extensive arguments or pleas bv any individual or group of Individuals de signed to Indue# people to believe what some Individual or group of Individuals, or organizations, want them to believe for percunlary or other advantage, should be charged at the usual, publicly an nounced rHrd rates Advertising is advertising If paid for It should be paid for at the same rate charged any other advertiser. A half rate is neither a donation by the publisher nor Is It compensation for serv ice rendered. As between patrons it Is discriminative and unfair In Its very ee sence The practice should be eliminated to tha fullest extent possible. News Must lie Clean. Just as there Is a rsnge In publicity for free promotion matter and a wide, variety of announcements coming within the pure advertisement group, so there is i n classiflcatbin of matter which should j be completely barred, whether the news value, the l<»g1timat« promotion or the cotnmerclsl advertising test ba applied. Under this classification coma all forms prohibited bv the postal laws and regula tlons In receiving and accepting from our government the second-class mailing privilege, we contract to abide bv tta re quirements These prohibit plainly and unmistakably the publication of anv ob scene matter, new* ar advertising before or after the enterprise, pertaining to lot tfriea, gift enterprise* gift concert# or any enterprise whether launched bv In dividuals. business firms, churches, or community organizations. In which en ters the element of chsnc** There Is a moral and civil obligation to refuse such publicity. under whatever term". aside from s contractual obligation. And yet. because of the Ignorance of the public generally of this obligation on oar pert, and partly, perhaps, because of a ton gen eral disregard of law. this feature of this proposed publishers* rode of ethics Is most difficult to enfore.a and should therefore, receive the special attention of members Similarly, all publicity further ing enterprise* that are in violation of the at«*e Jnws should be denied To the ndnptfon of these general prln rlpleg and classifications In our individual newspapers and business establishments, to the utmost extent local conditions will permit, the members of the Loup Valiev Editorial association hereby voluntarily pledge themselves Suspert in $2,000 Rail , Robbery Taken to Bluffs Fremont, N*b., Deo. 9— .Janie* Schultz, aimpeet In the rer.ent Buy State robbery when nine railroad em ploye* were belt! and robbed of about $2,000, w’hb rotumad to Council Bluff* by Sheriff Perry La Inton of that city, whom he l* wanted on n break in* hrtd entering charge.

Probe of Trade Methods Laid Before Congress Report Includes Complaints Against 2,384 Concerns for Unlawful Practices; Legis lation Not Asked. ■Washington, Dec. 9.—A review of a year’s endeavor to restrain business methods opposed to good morals and tending to monopoly, was put before congress today by the federal trade commission in Its annual report. Along with the series of Investigations and proceedings against hundreds of individual business houses and trade associations, the commission de scribed the genera! economic Investi gations which It has conducted, by special order of congress or otherwise. Into the Industries of grain exporting and coal mining, into speculation on exchanges, and into trade practices such as that involved in the “Pitts burgh base” for steel sales In the west. There were, during the last fiscal jear, commission complaints directed against 2.384 separate respondents, alleging improper conduct in commer cial transactions, or the maintenance of unlawful customs in trade. These, and others pending, resulted In the final issue of 78 orders, directing in dividuals and groups to desist the practices complained against. The commission's report In Its legal sections showed that continuous liti gation had been precipitated by ap peals of concerns Involved from final or tentative findings directed against them, the result of which, the report said, had been "to develop the law of business practices under the court's rulings." Eleven general economic Inquiries were pushed during the year, the commission pointed out, and several were brought to the final report stage These Included the Investigation Into the effect on cotton and cotton prices of central exchange operations. One of them, on petroleum, the commis sion added, had expressed the findings that the "whole trade was dominated by the Standard Oil Interests," alone or In alliance with other corporate groups." Its findings in repeated investiga tion of the bituminous coal industry, the commission said, were still "han dicapped” by court review, and the Inability so far to obtain figures on investments, profits, and costs. The Webb-Pomerene law. empower ing American concerns to associate In export trade enterprise under com mission scrutiny, had furnished ground at the end of the year for combinations In 123 Industries. The report noted an increase in the amount of export business under the associations, and a general Increase in the amount of trade interest taken in international business. Adminis tering the law, the report said, the commission hud found opportunity to remedy grievances of foreign pur chaser* against American producers In a number of Instances, and com mented that the practice went far "to the estabilahment of good will in foreign markets." No recommendations for legisla tion were made.

Washington, IXc. 9—An open threat of a fight on the floor of the house against what was char acterized as the "stacking of house committees by the republican com mittee on committees," was made to day by Representative Nelson, Wis consin, leader of the republican In surgents, who for two days blocked the re-election of Speaker Glllett. Failure of the Insurgents to ob tain more places on the important committee* led to a forecast to an other revolt to a majority organiza tion leaders. Mr. Nelson expressed Indignation over the treatment which he said had been accorded his group In the makeup of the republican committee slates and said tho fight would be taken to the house when the selections made by the repub licans were presented for ratifica tion, perhaps late next week. While there was no formal an nouncement, some committeemen Bald Senators Gooding of Idaho, Couzens of Michigan, Howell of Ne braska and Fees of Ohio, had been selected tentatively to fill the va cancies on the Interstate commerce comrplttecs with deals with railroad legislation.

Their course of action still Is unde cided pending announcement of the results of the work of the majority committee on committees.

Mr. Nelson, In discussing the house committee situation, said his group had been particularly anxious to have places given Woodruff (Michigan) on the ways and means committee; Beck (Wisconsin) on the commerce commit tee, and La Guardia (New York) on the judiciary committee. None was selec ted. All three have been active In the Insurgent movement. Members of the Insurgent group who were members of the last con gress have retained the committee assignments they held then. Little recognition thus far, however, has been accorded new members allied with the Insurgent bloo, although Peavey (Wisconsin) was placed on the rivers and harbors committee. The republican committee on com mittees continued Us work of making house committee assignments todsy. but failed to take action on the rules committee or to designate the seven members of the steering committee.

Grain Corporation Is Broke: l liable to Assist Farmers H o I (I ft Worthless Foreign Bonds on Loans and ^ ar Profits Are Loss, Con gressmen Say. Washington, Dec. 8 — Plans of the congressional farm blocs to finance agriculture relief projects from the asset* of the 1'nlled States Grain corporation, which operated during the war, are abandoned. it was learned all proceeds of the corpora tlon had l>een wiped out through loans to foreign nations. This situation was revealed' by Senator Robert N. Stanfield, repub lican, Oregon, and confirmed by Senators Kdwin K. I,add, republican. North Dajcota and George W. Norris. Nebraska, members of the senatorial farm bloc. The three senators announced the grain corporation was "penniless' on the strength of statements made them by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. No Farm Aid Funds. Reports circulated throughout the west that the corporation held 000,000 in cash, which would be avail able for immediate agriculture re lief, were denied by Secretary Mel lon, the senators announced. It was revealed this money had been lent to five European nations and MS,000,000 «'»« tied up in what Stanfield described as "worthless bonds" of the governments of Aus tria and Poland. All these loans. It was added, were made, however, by direction of acts of congress. As a result a number of relief pro jects planned by members of the farm bloc to be financed from grain corporation funds will be abandoned. The corporation's profits, Secretary Mellon reported, were lent by acts of congress to Austria, Poland. Czecho slovakia. Armenia and Hungary. Austria and Poland received more than $24,000,000 each, which is now covered by the alleged ' worthless bonds." Deferred interest payments on the debts. It was stated, alone amounted to $10,000,000 on June 30 last. Secretary Mellon confirmed the Situation In a letter to Senator Dadd early this week. It was learned.
