We regret to be obliged to reprove a
Younger contemporary, as we nad 10 an older
a few months ago, for putting into cold print
the miserable lgossip of the street about
matter that involved no crime, no Invasion
of the right of anybody else, nothing with
which the public had any business whatever.
There are some things that are sacred. and
among those are family reationss SO long as
they are nothing but family relations. News
papers all go into matters that are tvivtal and
not worth the space or enort Ia the modern
for news, and so long as the
matters and the treatment are harmless. no
W rong is done except In the waste of energy:
but the line, first of truth, then of legitimate
public interest. and of the regard for the feel
ngs OF others should always be carefully re.
