CHERRY Editor and Publisher LOCAL NEWSPAPERS. This is an era of criticism. Nearly everyone is finding fault Even the newspapers are getting their share of the blame for the present conditions, when anything goes wrong and are criticized for the kind of news they print as well as for their editorial policy. In this connection it is well to recall something that Whitelaw Reid, at the time editor of the New York Tribune, said on the subject: The thing always forgotten by the closest critic of the hews- papers is that they must be immeasurably what their audiences make them; what their constituencies call for and sustain. The newspaper cannot uniformly resist the popular sentiment any more than the stream can flow above its fountain. To say that the newspapers are getting worse is to say that the people are getting worse. They may work more evil now than they have ever wrought before, because the influence is more widespread; but they also work more good, and the habitual attitude of the newspaper is one of effort toward the best its audiences will tolerate. .There is food for considerable thought here. Of course in the great cities there are different kinds of newspapers, conservative - journals, progressive journals and yellow journals, each with a par-- ' ticular field to cover. But if it is true that newspapers are what 'their readers make them, then there is much to be said for the reading public in our smaller communities. For in these communitiet there is little in the way of yellow journalism. The small cjty and free from the taint, and little , country newspapers are remarkably the reason that the people in for outside of it comes in from the these soundly American communities prefer the less sensational journals when they get a newspaper from the metropolitan field. with something. . -- I. !

The Oregonian says: It is not improbable that Judge Kavanaughs suggestion will some day, and soon, be a general law in this country. The criminal is asking for it more than any other is asking. The criminal is begging for the lash." LOOKING UP. Things are still looking up for Uncle Samuel. With the approach of spring the country is getting into its stride again. The amount of unemployment is decreasing and we are being told by those in position to know that there has never been as much unemployment during the winter as some of the professional pessimists would have us believe. Reports from the steel industry are highly encouraging, and it is to be remembered that the steel industry has long been regarded as the barometer of American business conditions. The latest dispatches from the steel centers are to the effect thfct the factories of the United States Steel Corporation are operating at ninety per cent of their full capacity, while the independent companies are doing almost as well. And the most encouraging sign of all is that the industry is showing steady improvement. The outlook is said to be encouraging . Large steel orders have been placed for the building interests and the railroads and motor plants are buying steadily too. This can only mean that the captains of American industry have faith in the immediate future. Otherwise they would not be buying so confidently, and we are told that their orders are bigger than has been the case for several months. The reports have it that construction contracts for the present year have broken all records, and it is of course to be remembered that the building season has only now commenced. Orders, from the railroads for steel rails are 500,000 tons greater than was the case at this time last year, and the automobile plants are all expecting greater business in 1928 than they enjoyed in the year previous. Bigger orders of course mean steadier employment and steady employment means higher wages. Higher wages mean more money in, circulation, a condition which will benefit the merchants as well as the workers. The progressive retail merchant will not be slow to take advantage of this situation. , There Jias never been a better time to advertise than the present.

The report of the It shows how little authentic mission has caused much comment. 'data there is available on crime. g While every state keeps a concrete record of every automobile owner, it does not keep a similar uniform record of every criminal, available for scrutiny and consideration. g Thousands of citizens are today made to feel almost like criminals because of the prohibitory laws which hedge them about, while a large number of criminals have actually reached a stage where they consider themselves to be the equal of if not superior to, citizens upon whom they prey. The gang leaders of today in the crime world have built up an aristocracy of their own. They are well dressed, they ride in the best automobiles, often associate with the better classes of people and, if they happen to be arrested and convicted, a jail sentence often adds glamour to their name. In discussing the lash as a crime deterrent, Superior Judge Marcus Kavanaugh of Chicago, declared: No underworld lord can retain the respect of his followers after he has winced under the pain of a whipping; no juvenile culprit can strut before his gang after is feared more by the moran official spanking; the on and the racketeer than a jail centence. The National Crime Commission has pointed out thdt we are lax in catching our criminals and in punishing them. It is also possible that we lax in providing a type of punishment which commands respect rather than ridicule. So far, our efforts have been directed at drawing the lines citizen on the theory that this will tighter around the reform the criminal. The mania to make it unlawful to buy or own small arms on the theory that this will prevent crime, simply adds of the criminal, for to the safety and the feeling of he can smuggle in all the arms he desires and, therefore, will be a privileged character compared with the average citizen.
