January 17, at 1 clock. had understanding of the times" and I could wish that the priestly but war-admiring author, of the Chronicles had had the inclination to tell ua more of what they did. For in our time, as in every time since that of David, our most vital need is of men of understanding. One of our most dangerous moods is that in which we think we will be store of knowledge. Knowledge and un-all right if we but lay up a sufficient durstanding are poles' apart.

Solomon saw this he might well have lived through the ages as he has if he had said no more than this; "Wisdom is the principal thing: therefore get wisdom, and with all thy wisdom get understanding." But still we are more interested in knowledge than in understanding. I can think of no aspect of 1-fe in which we would not be served if only we would turn it around. It is in things of the spirit, however, that the opportunity is richest. We hope, al) of us2 for world peace. We know there are certain reasons why it cannot be brought about as conditions exist, hut we have not tried to understand these reasons.

of them are purely imaginary. We know of unrest at home, but neither party to that unrest understands what it is that one side asks and the orier has failed to give. We know a multitude of things that might be bettered, but we have not paused to seek understanding of the ways in which they may most surelv and most swiftly he made as we would like to have them. Most of the fears that beset us, whether as individuals or as a people, disappear with understanding. Especially is this true of political fears.

Only the other day Socialism was a word of terror. Todav there is so little of the doctrine that has not been absorbed into the structure of our everyday life that the Socialists have left only the still impracticable ideals of their program, and they have! all but passed from existence as' a party. FA-e years ago Bolshevism was an even more terrible word. Today we know it as a doctrine that even its supporters have had to give over, and onlv the most timorous of us till shut our eyes to the fact that a soviet is a form of government and not an economic theory at all. Praises Serv es 0f Press.

In another generation it was Populism that- disturbed our slumbers. We quaKed at the sound of the word and made ready for the end of all things if by any mischance it should prevail. Todav, having gained understanding of it. we have actually put into practice many of the things that Populism demanded. But we are getting understanding.

This institute, in whose invitation 1 hsve'since yesterday found a new and a sincerer pride, is one the signs of it. Not so long ago the church believed its mission to be with the life hereafter and not with the life here. All that is being changed and you and I are reapinar the benefit. I believe devoutly in the service the newspaper renders in adding to knowledge. It is literally true that -when printing took us place among the arts the I'ark ges ended, and from no other event in history is it possible to trace so long a line of great effects as came from this single cause.

I sutimit the newspaper to you a the printed word in its most effective form. I called, yesterday, the Mis common denominator of American life. 1 dr this being perfectly aware of the uncertainty of opinion that prevails regarding newspapers. I know quite well that tb.ere is hardly a surer way of winn'ng applause just now than by attacking "the press." The "capitalistic press." the "bolshevist press," the "kept press." are phrases that, will open almost any heart. Unfairness of Partisanship.

Each morning's mail at my desk at The World brings me new evidence that men and women are tiuite as likely to read any particular newspaper because they don't like -it as because thev do. The partisanship that is chiefly responsible for this is very evident. The workingman wants his side, and his only, put forward. The employer resents the hearing that is given the labor. The politician demands the same preferment, and Ai ds the same iniquity when it is denied him.

It is a most significant thing that no labor newspaper has et been able to make a go of it without subsidy. despite labor's reiterated dissatisfaction with the "capitalistic press." It is as true, and quite as significant, that no paper which gave only capital's side ccxuld succeed, despite the railings at the "bolshevist press." The truth is that newspaper standards are changing'. Less and less are they dealing with abstractions, which is what most partisanship boils down to. More and more they are dealing with realti-ties, the realities of the everyday life of everyday people. The complaints that are heard come mostly fj-om those who either are rot changing at all or are not changing; rapidly enougTi to Keep pace.

Toubted and assailed as the daily newspaper may be. its hold upon the people prows constantly stronger. In the past 10 years the circulation of the daily newspapers of the United States has grown two and orle-half times as fast as population as a whole. It has grown almost an even one-third more rapidly than even the prodigious growth of 29 per cent in our urban population. I said yesterday that the circulation of the 20.000 newspapers of all clashes in this country exceeded 220.OOfl.Ono a year.

The number of the daily newspapers among these is one-third of them being morninjr papers. Their total cir-culat'on of 40.000.ooo is almost evenly divided between the morning and the evening papers. This circulation is, roughly, one paper for every three persons. Circulation Crowing. It is about one for every adult.

"Let's put Pittsburgh on the map as the home of diving and swimming champions," said" Miss Victoria Jeske one day last year to her sister, Martha. "All right," agreed Martha, just like that. And that's the way it started. It's going to end with the team name "Jeske Sisters" being knownHhrough-out the world of water sports, declare Victoria and Martha. So.

as a means of gaining that end, the two girls may be seen every ladies' day and have been seen every ladies' day of the last year diving, swimming and devising new- stunts in the pool of the Natatorium. Employed as Clerks. Victoria, who is aged A is a bookkeeper for a Pittsburgh mercantile lirm. and Martfta, aged 19, holds a position as saleslady in a downtown department store. But they're not going to be in those occupations for long, they state emphatically, for with the opening of the coming bathing season they are going to begin jo show theworld a thing or two about the art of mermaiding.

After their resolution of a year ago and if you will recall that I said a moment ao 'hat circulation has-been growing one-third faster than urban population you will see that this means the daily newspaper is reaching farther and farther into the country. You may be interested in knowing something aboufjust what it is that goes into these newspapers. I shall hive to talk specifically about The World, for it is with it that I ammost familiar. But what is true of it is. speaking generally, true of all great newspapers, in Pittsburgh no less than in Xew York.

The difference is in detail. A typical weekday issuer of The World contains 90 columns of news space and 10 of pictures and cartoons. Eight columns will be devoted to comment upon events, whethet by the editorial writers themselves or bv that irreat and valuable company who write letters "to the Another six or eitrht columns will be devoted to semi-editorial features, such as the "columns" that are now so popular, and the dramatic and musical and book reviews. Fifteen or sixteen columns will be devoted to financial i.nd business news, and another 15 or 16 to news of sports. For gen-.

eral news there ill remiin between 40 and 43 columns. Of this news space somerhing Icfs than one-quarter will be taken up by headlines, and in what remains there will be printed between and 33.000 words of mitter. You may wonder most laymen do! where thif is to be found. If each of the 50 reporters on The World wrote only column apiece, and that would not be an unusual day's work, they would fill the space and half as much acain. From W-ahinirton alone, in these days of Congress, we will get another 10.000 words.

From our own correspondents abroad we will get 2.000 or 3.000 words. It is no unusual thing for the 'Associated Press to carry ilO.ono words within a snac' of 2 hours. There is. of course, grat deal of duplication in these reports. But when due allowance been made for all this ins still come in for the mariner of a single issue of this newspaper a totil of considerably more than 100.000 words of which barely one-third can, be used.

The makinrr of a modern newspaper may thus be seen to be a process of selection, and selection cf a highly specialized sort. More and more is it true of newspapers that tb-v seek to make themselves the product of the collective intelligence of their staffs. In ho other wav would it be possible for them to satisfy either their own or their readers' desires under the conditions I have described. Makeup of Paper. When the night's work has been done the typical edition of The World, of which I have spoken, will be made up of some 195 distinct item, some long, some short, out 'each complete in itself.

Of these 120 will be of events in the city and its suburbs. Fifteen will be from Washington. Twenty-four will be from abroad and come from 10 countries. Thirty-six will be from various cities and towns in 1H states othe.r than New York. Is that not literally a picture of the entire world? I have spoked of the selection that is necessary in making up a newspaper.

This selection has regard not alone -for importance. Truth and fairness are factors that transcend importance, even. You may be inclined to doubt this, for no newspaper reader has failed to find in his daily fare thinirs that he knows to be both inaccurate and unfair. I can only remind" you that the newspaper i3 a human product, aud that the man has never lived who was infallible at all times. 1 assure you that there is in every newspaper man worthy of hi calling a stern fidelity to truth and fairness, and that the newspaper man who is not worthy of his call- tng does not get chance long to I hive spoken of the chancing standards of newspapers.

More more are they eominir to regard their field as that of public service. I should like to tell you a story that is to me a thrilling incident of the public service that I have in mind. A 'tittle less than a year sro there came to The World a tele-e-ram from county attorney in North Dakota. He said that a farm hoy fiom that count had died in a oivict camp in Florida under shocking circumstances and that they wanted to bring his killers to justice They had exhausted their own resources, he said, and he asked if The Wor'd would lend its aid. We replied that if the facts were found to be he stated them we certainly would.

Tells of Tabert Case. This farm boy was Martin Tabert. He had set out, as boys will, to see the world. In his money bejran to run 1 and he "strle a ride on a freight train. Near the state capital he was arrested, convicted of vagrancy and instead of being sent to jail in lieu of the $25 fine he could not pay.

was farmed out to the Putman Lumber Company. He was sent to a camp where free labor could not be hired to work at any wages. In the meantime, he had told his parents of his plight and they had sent money not only for his fine, but to pay his passage home. The. authorities returned the money without even an effort to turn if over to him.

for every convict that was provided for luiine-r cuiiipany meant si'il xorsw For nearly two months this boy worked under almost intolerable conditions. He asked one day for a pair of shoes that were not too small for him. and for this "insubordination" he was made to lie face down on the earth while the "whipping boss" of the gang lashed him with a nine-pound strap. He was carried to his bed andfwodavs later died and was buried in an unmarked grave. In her efforts to avenge him.

North Ii.ikota. as a state, had gone to the extraordinary lenerth of making formal protest to Florida, as a state. The protest had been acknowledged, and there the matter promised to rest until the aid of The World was sought. We found the facts to be true as they were laid before us. We sent a staff correspondent to Florida, and within 10 dayshe was writing a Keu of stories that stirred literally the whole country.

Newspapers' "in 29 other cities took up the cause of Martin Tabert. and within a month the use of the lash in Florida -cons had been abolished, the leasing of convicts Tor pr.yate enterprises had been ended. the sheriff who pocketed the $'-0 fee had been removed from office, and the judge -who convicted Martin Tabert bad been taken from the bench. The "whipping boss" was brought to trial and convicted of murder in the second degree. Six weeks ago the lumber company paid the boy's parents $20,000 in settlement of their claim for damages, pnd on the first of this month the laws of which I spoke went into effecr.

I think this mav be regarded as a fine example of public service. It is unquestionably a demonstra- I tion of the power of public oninion. for no ether agency could have broucrht it about. The- women's Clnrea of FToriflr' has SOtlirht for years to thes very coKt ios. but lf ws ro until the fi'r- ure of this North Dakota lad came un'n the stage that nublit oninion was aroused.

And, finally, the incident may be cited ps an illustration of the irresistible influence that may be carried when understanding is added, to knowledge. VANDKRORIFT At Los Angelas. Mrs. EMMA S. VAXL-ERGRIFT.
