really looks as though .he worked
harder than many others. The life of,
-the journalist is not one grand, sweet
comic song punctuated by rich foods
and fore'gn news. It is a life of writ-
ing and re-writing and druggery and
hurry and' deadlines and editions and
extras and more writing and more re-
writing.
No one can deny that the newspaper
is one of the most important institu-
tiOns of the present order. It is the
organ not only of public information
but of public op'nion. It is the mirror
of our times. And the journalist is
the newspaper's humble servant. If
we must have newspapers, let us have
good newspapers; and if we must ;be
,journalists, let us be good journalists.
That is the motto of the Press Club
which opens a three day conference
beginning today. It is time that the
public be enlightened as regards news-
papers and newspaper men, and the
fifth annual conference of the Univer-
sity of Michigan Press club should

day sufficient wit, humor, pathos

The editorial entitled "Democracy
and Discrimination" assumes to settle
the merits of the question by the
simple statement that a war was
fought that only a high type of in-
dividual was concerned and he a bona

tion typifies the misunderstanding
which is the cause of so many dis-
