FLEMINGTON AS U. S. NEWS CAPITAL
What is the most valued news item of the day? That is the
question that fishes constantly across the mental screen
of every telegraph editor on every American newspaper.
News values are measured by human interest and hum
an consequences. And the greater of these is human inter
est.
Every editor on a telegraph desk quickly skims the ar
ray of news as it comes to him on the neat typewritten sheets
and casts up his estimates on what to play up most, and how.
On the basis of what most will interest the majority of his
readers.
Today in America there is no question as to the major
story. Where does it come from. From Flemington, obscure
little country town in New Jersey.
News of the actions of Congress, which may even be
more far-reaching, and news of the possible overthrow of
the gold standard, which may shake world financial founda
tions and affect the prosperity of ever man and woman in
every civilized nation does not have the appeal in all minds
that has the drama now being enacted in Flemington.
So intently interested are American readers in the
Lindbergh-Hauptmann case, and so appreciative the press,
that the little court room at Flemington is crowded with re
porters of the Associated Press, the United Press and other
press agencies that they all but take up the entire space out
side those immediately concerned in the trial.
The reports this trained staff of capable writers gathers
is sent immediately by wire and radio all over America—to
every metropolis and hamlet. Far ends of the earth also
demand their share—at least the highlights. Where affairs
of national and state import get no farther than the boundary
line the news of the Hauptmann trial will radiate to the very
ends of the earth.
Thus Flemington has become and will remain until the
end of the trial the news center of America—the heart of
common interest.v
And there is something *no*e than m$re sensation in
this interest in the case on trial in Flemington. The ques
tion of kidnaping as a practice and the punishment of the
guilty is involved. The outcome of this case may mark a
national if not an international mile post in the policy and
procession of punishmnet of the guilty.—Anchorage Times.

Once more the potentialities of the giant dirigible are
up for discussion—this time because of recommendation by
the President’s aviation commission that the government
build two or more airships for commercial trans-oceanic
service.
Disillusioned though we may have been by dirigible
tragedies in recent years, there is nevertheless something at
tractive about this new proposal. For the big dirigible is
such a marvelously ingenious creation—such a clever and
beautiful triumph over the elements—that it is very hard to
believe that we can never get any practical good out of it.
There must be some way in which these giant airships
can be made to render service which is worth their cost. It
might be well worth Uncle Sam’s- while to put-a-httle-more
money into their development and find out. —Exchange
THE FUR JOURNAL—C. D. GARFIELD, EDITOR
Of exceptional interest to Alaskan fur farmers, trap
pers, fur buyers, and dealers is The Fur Journal, new trade
publication, published in Seattle by W. D. Harris. Of excep
tional interest to people in Juneau is the fact that the maga
zine’s editor is C. D. Garfield, for many years Chief Deputy
Collector of Customs in Juneau and later Secretary of the
Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
The new magazine is full of news of interest to all engag!
ed in the fur trade. Articles, fur farming news, news of the
fur sales, prices and of the retail fur trade provide valuable
information.
The Fur Journal, devoted as it is to the interests of the
fur farming and marketing industries of America, maintains
an open forum for free discussion of matters pertaining to
the fur trade, industry and manufacture. It should provide,
an interesting medium through which people in the fur busi
ness may consider their problems.
Mr. Garfield is to be congratulated upon the worth of
his new magazine and its attractive format.—Juneau Empire
