HEWS MAX3HQ Few people stop to realize what a change then has been in dw -ration since the development of the newspaper. It in only a little ovv - century, a lapse of time that would scarcely be noticed in a European civilization, dnce men in this country, then still in the making, opposed the Lonisun purchase because they felt it was so far away from the rest of the country that they could not work together. And yet today the doings of people throughout that whole vast territory and on the Pacific Coast, thousands of miles beyond, are daily reported on the Atlantic seaboard before they have had a chance to grow cold, says the 'Home Hews, Hew Brunswick, of September 12th. The convention of newspaper men which is being held here this week is of particular interest to the public at large because of the insight that the discussions there conducted give on the tremendous development that has been wrought in the newspaper field for the service of the people of the country. And service is just the right word to use in connection with that work because the securing and furnishing of the news for his leaders is the primary object of any reputable newspaper man. There is interest, too, in the fact that Butgers College ■ the place selected for the convention, in a way giving the sanction of the local institution of learning to the entire work of newspuperdam. And the advance in the standing of journalism is also significant for the profession has become one of the most honorable, while the field of newspaper work has been recognised both as an art and as an important part of education. Colombia and other big universities have established schools of journalism and the whole thing is being worked out on a scientific basis. Hew Brunswick welcomes as its guests the delegates to the present convention and assures them that in addition to having a hearty gratefulness for their presence the city takes a keen and active interest in their

PROTECTICH FOB THE BEACHES Passage b> the Senate of the United States of the P^elinghuysen bill forbidding further oil pollution of the seas that wash our Atlantic coast is a victory for the seafront communities from Maine to Honda and an assurance that insofar as American control is concerned there will soon be an end to the constant infliction of fire hazards upon our seashore municipalities, says the Atlantic City Press. Senator PreUnghuysen has accomplished a fine thing in obtaining the approval of the Senate to this measure, for the House is fully in sympathy with the plan, and another bill is before it covering the same subject The battle of the Chamber of Comme-'A the laag and diligent services rendered by wide-awake ritizans in repeated visits to the Senate Committee, have had their part in bringing about this happy recult. When the measure receives the signature of the President, Atlantic City will nap its reward in freedom from the nauseous smirching of its biaches and absence of polluted waters that are at once a detriment to its bathing and deadly to its fishing. The conference here of the Atlantic Seaboard Municipalities to protect against the peril that is daily increasing to all cities along the coast is fresh in the minds of our readers. Discharge cf waste oil from vessels within the thro*-mile limit is made illegal and the restriction applies not only to the East but to any part of the nation's coasts. Companies committing the infractions of the law will be subject to heavy penalties. When an international law is enacted, a step that has excellent chance of being taken, the danger from thi« source of pollution will be reduced to • minimum.

STEEL WAGES UP 20 PEE CEHT. The condition of the xteel industry is the barometer of national prosperity, and the recent increase of 20 per cent, in the wages of day laborers by the United States Steel Corporation shows that the business is booming and its prospects are exceedingly bright. But the increased wage to the steel workers, with all the indirect benefit that will come to others, will be lost if the rail workers are successful in their attempt to tie up or seriously interfere with transportation. The supply of coal to the steel mills must be constant and the shipment of their products to market must be dependable or they must shut down their plants. Already many furnaces in the steel region have been cioaed for lack of fuel. It is up to the rail striken whether the steel workers are going to be denied millions of dollars in wages. FOSTER HABBED The notorious W. Z. Foster has been arrested in connection with a raid on communists in Michigan. Hr proclaims his innocence, and declares his arrest is a frame-up. The of the authorities is that Mr. Foster was not removed long aiuce from bis sphere of activity. He is an avowed Red. his books on the subject bearing ample testimony to that fact. His organization of the steel strike was along communistic lines, despite the fact that he worked with the approval of Mr. Gomperv It is from such men as Foster that organized radicals get their inspiration. The sooner they are deported or put behind the ban. the' earlier will industrial peace come to the country. STAHDIHG PAT With practical unanimity the rail executives are standing pat on their refusal to restore seniority rights to sinking employees They should have the public solidly behind them. A surrender on the seniority issue would mean that workers may strike with impunity so far as their seniority privileges are concerned, and that the men engaged to fill their places can have no assurance of permanent employment A aunvndei would mean that the slightest provocation in the future would be attended by similar walkouts, with nobody willing to accept merely temporary employment during the emergency.

A Sound Military Policy for the First TimT /"V LJio+svwvr

By GENERAL JOHN J. PERSHING, in Scientific American Magtti^ The history of American wan is one of deeds on the part of our officer* and men, but it U ^ one of hasty and extemporized organization. 7^ has always led to undue loss of life and heavy burdens. Our success in our early were was due more to weakness of our enemies and to the fact that tber ^ military engagements elsewhere than to wise pn-p^ lions or superior training on the part of our on forces or leader*. We have ehraya relied np^j ^ traditional citizen army, but congress beretofort h* nevet provided for the organization of that citizen army in time of In the Civil war the Union was saved in spite of our unproparedness beem the Confederacy also had to extemporize an army before K could take tfc field effectively. As to the World war, a substantial condition of p* paredneri known to all peoples might have prevented the war altogetha In any event we would hare been in a position to bring it to an eariia termination. Never until recently hare we sought a remedy for this defect in on military institutions. After each war we had neglected to tak» a j ^ toward making our military experience available tor the benefit of fotm generations. For the first time in our national history, a sound militoj policy is embodied in the army reorganization act of June, 1920. The new law provides for a real national army consisting of th regular army, the National Guard and the organized reserves. It pre vides for the maintenance of onr forces on an economical peace bto, readily convertible to a war status. The ma^unery of. mobilization a thoughtfully foreseen and not left to decision in the midst of s criik Arrangement is made for the continuous flow o{ trained officer personnel from the youth of the country into the National Guard and the oiguuxd

Many people seem to lose sight of the fact tha, our new militan In is itself an economic measure of fundamental importance. Our tirtorj reveals that most of our national debt and most of our wasted expenditure rhave been due to an unbusinesslike organization of our nationil defense system, and particularly to extemporized organization on the er, of an emergency. Our new law aims primarily to correct this defect It provides for the systematic organization of onr traditional ritixen tnnj in time of peace. We aak for no more professional officers and mec tint are required for specific military duties which in the nature of thiap cannot be performed by citizen soldiers.

The Pastoral Task of the Modem Minister Offers Big Executive Field

Br BEV. T. H McQUILKEN, Canncb, Pa There is need of presenting to young men the meaning of the ministry. Many hare misconceptions of the task of the miruster. The modern minister has a big job. It does not all lie in preaching, but his task is primarily preaching. He must know how to preach. The world is as willing as ever to liuta to the man with a message. The minister who is really called of God is recognized by men as one speaking with an authority, witn a boh unct’on. The minister’s first business is to preach The minister is an executive. The ministry offers ah almost unlimited field for the exercise of executive ability. The organization of mer and resources and interests and the continuous direction of thic incresY ing organization year after year demand* that the minister be an executive of no mean ability. He is of necessity a pastor, the faithful friend of folka. He mist know the hearts of his people. He carries the burden of others. The j' pastoral task of the modern minister offer* a big field for the expressiM of GOiise-rated friendship and sympathy.
