STANDARD-BEARERS
In the human soul and in the larger images of hu
manity which are society, strife is the key to progress
and the chief means of turning confusion to order. The
clash of ideals, purposes and opinions leads to judg
ments it reveals principles and shows us where we
stand in relation to them. We go forward by struggles
and victories, and such strife is necessary to the pur
pose of life, as needful as the two millstones which
grind the wheat or the hammer and anvil between whi
ch the tool is tempered.
In such trials at arms ignorance takes sides too
quickly, and allegiance often owres more to obstinacy
and prejudice than to judgment. Yet wider knowledge
may bring a new7 danger by urging compromise and
leaving no enthusiasms or convictions for which we
will live and die. Beyond such lukewarm caution
there lies real conviction, where vision rises above the
smoke and dust of the arena and sees clearly and singly
the essential goal at stake.
Such visionaries, who see not merely both sides of
a question but also the greater principles to which it
refers, become our leaders. These lift up standards to
which we may dedicate our strength and our sword
arm. These we must have if strife is to find the short
est way to peace and if we are to be spared the long
struggles for unworthy victories and the old habits of
blind hate and destruction.—Cordova Daily Times.
NEWSPAPER MISTAKES

Lehigh Independent-Argus: Errors in newspapers
are frequent, though it is the goal of one and all who
claim to be journalists to eradicate the disease of mist
akes. An editorial in the Lehigh, Neb., World publish
ed some time ago, expressed the situation and gives
some advice which could be read over with profit every
once in a while, both by newspaper folk and subscrib
ers.
“Yes, newspapers make mistakes. There is no con
cealing the fact, because the errors themselves are
spread where all the world may see them. But is there
as much accuracy as people think? Probably not, Frank
R. Kent of the Baltimore Sun, speaking at William and
Mary College, makes a striking statement of the case,
which may interest readers as much as it interests news
papermen. ‘In no business and in no profession save that
of the pure scientist,' he declares, ‘is the premium of ac
curacy so high, the penalty for inaccuracy so prompt
and the proportion of accuracy so great. There isn’t

a newspaperman anywhere who does not know that,
trivial though his error may be. someone will catch it.
Even when it escapes the watchful editorial gaze, even
though no one in the office picks it up. even when he
himself is unaware of it, there are still the subscribers
—thousands of them—vigilant, alert, aggressive, resent
ful, eager to put their finger on the ‘break’, communicate
with the editor and ‘show up’ the writer and the paper.
These old subscribers, in my judgment, are by far the
most valuable asset a newspaperman can have. Their
militant, microscopic scrutiny is the finest possible cor
rective influence.* ”
It' the nation is always headed for ruin, why does it
never get there? Or do we just fail to recognize it?
At the rate centralization is materializing, it will
not be long before the unemployment problem will be
solved. Half the people will be wearing a black mask
and the other half will be policemen chasing them.
