As the campaign progresses, the
strong probability of the nomina-

push itself upon the press and the
people with the force of certainty.

SenSationalism.

There are two things in this is
sue OF THE BEE that illustrate the
greed OF newspapers generally for
sensational news to the disregard
OF actual facts. The one is the
injurious and false report gathered
by reporter of the Evansville
Courier from a source which he
considered reliable, but which he
failed to verify, concerning the
Reinecke Coal Co., and their rela-
tons with their employees. This
report The Courier now corrects
and retracts.
The other is the official report
OF State Inspector Lester concern
ing the sensational charges made
against the management of the
Western Asylum at Hopkinsville.
These charges were largely insin-
uations and made and circulated
by enemies of the Asylum officials.
Their foundation was in fact, bnt
the Inspectors report shows what
Insignificant things were enlarged
into scandalous report. which was
greedily circulated.
The charges against the Rein
ecke Coal Co., also had their foun-
dation in fact-ihe fact alone that
that company issues store checks
to their employees. The rest was
distortion and was published, and
republished with avidity.
These two things are very
closely related to the absurd re-
port recently sent to the press by
the correspondent at Henderson,
who is man OF experience and
knows better. 1t was about the
shooting of a colored man by the
night policeman here recently
while the man resisted arrest and
threatened to shoot the officer. A
wonderful piece of fiction involv-
ing another previous killing and a
stolen horse, with further embel-
lishments, was woven around the
one single fact in this report.
that the negro was on horse.
