When the time comes to write editorials for the day’s
issue and when there is no controversy proceeding one is
forced to fish aivuiul in the air for something to talk
about. For some reason or another the men who develop
ed newspapers decided that an issue of a paper would not
he complete without an expression of editorial opinion.
Somehow, the world would not seem to go right unless one
man was always preaching to the rest. \\ e are all preach
ers, whether it is in print or orally. We just pine to ex
press our views, and that is one of the chief reasons why
men who have never been in the business before long to
enter the field. After a time they begin to find out that
having the privilege of putting their thoughts in print is
not such an immense one. Gradually it dawns on them
that their editorials only give satisfaction to those who
agree with them. The man who has the same opinion as
the editorial is sure invariably to praise it, but the man I
who holds contrary opinions just as surely thinks the
same editorial "rotten.” The great majority never take
into account at all any literary excellence that an editorial
might possess. As literature the editorial has fallen from
the place it once occupied and today the more superficial
the editorial thoughts the more popular they are, for sup
erficiality is the mental pabulum of the populace, and to
the populace the newspaper must cater.
One unfailing means of keeping the good opinion of the
public for a newspaper is to speak sentimental rubbish
which vou know the uninitiated will always "fall for.”

Speak once in a while of the poor widow crushed by the
load of woe heaped on her shoulders ffv predatory wealth.
Weep a few editorial crocodile tears for the lost virtue of
the maid who became the innocent victim of the sensual
employer. Forget not Freedom and the Flag. Wave them
both as the moving picture and other shows wave them to
get the plaudits of the multitude that is bursting with the
unthinking patriotism which takes the place of a sense of
dignity that the sight of the flag should impart were it not
made cheap by cheap advertisers. Turn your editorial
eyes to heaven as you write of sacred motherhood or
drunken fatherhood or puling babyhood. Talk rot and
the world is with vou.

INSURANCE MEN SAY WAR
AVIATORS HAVE ONE
1 11AM E IN 1 ro LIN E
By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD
(United Press SHUT Correspondent)
LONDON, June 10. — (By .Mail)—
Now that the married men of England
are drafted to the front, the cry has I
arisen from English homes:
“Who’ll keep our life insurance
paid up. while we’re at the front?”
The government is expected to set
aside a »um to keep up the payments
for married men.
Life insurance in wartime is a dif
ficult problem for the man who wants
to be insured. Also for the insurance
company.
Soldiers cannot get life insurance.
No company will take the ri.>k. But
the life insurance companies of Eng
land are so game that the man car
rying life insurance at the time he
went to the front is assured that his
widow and family will receive his in
surance money, no matter how he may
be killed.
All life insurance policies issued in
the United Kingdom have always
borne a clause that the companies
would not pay for death caused by
war. Nobody expected war; there
fore nobody objected to the clause.
But when war began and the men of
England marched off to the front
from their desks and their offices, the
directors of life insurance companies
met and decided that inspite of the
war clause they would pay for deaths
in war on all outstanding policies, but
would issue no new policies on the
lives of men going to the front.
The insurance of civilians against
war risks, however, is being developed
by London insurance companies,
whose actuaries are working out such
questions as:
What are the odds that Germany
will not succeed in sending a great
ux'v of Zeppelins over London and
killing thousands?
One company, whose experts studi
ed the air question at great length,
now bets you $5,000 against $10 that
you will not be killed by any missle
that falls from the sky, whether if by
an enemj bomb or a piece of British
bomb fired at enemy aircraft.
This same company is also willing
to bet 500 to 1 that you will not be
killed by an enemy invasion.

OHIO WOMEN START FAD

j ENGLAND’S “WAR WIDOWS”
ARE “POOLING” THEIR
HOMES TO SAVE MONEY
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
LONDON, June 20. — “Pooling”
i homes is being resorted to by many
women whose husbands have gone to
the war front, as a means of living
with some degree of comfort despite
| the general heavy reduction of in
comes.
More and more of it is likely as
fresh groups of married men are call
ed to the colors.
A sample instance the details of
which have been published illustrates
i the system.
The combination was effected by
three sisters, all Londoners.
I Of the trio, two had two children
each; the third, three.
Their husbands’ incomes had
' amounted to about $50 weekly, each.
| Their war allowances were about
$10 weekly to each of the mothers
with the two children; a trifle more to
I the one with three.
On $10 weekly each, it was obvious
that these households, maintained
separately, would have to give up
! everything but the barest necessaries
of life.
Instead of doing this, they “pooled”
resources, moved into the country,
where living is considerably cheaper
than in London and are living com
fortablly, though economically, the
. j combined family being rather large on
j their $30 weekly.
