THE NATTER OF NEwsGATHER;
ING.

II is said that Jay Gould never gave
to a newspaper man an interview
which he did not afterward deny hav-
ing given. He used the interviewer to
convey to the public the details Of
some great financial transaction in
prospect, and then repudifsed the very
instrument he used to accomplish his
purpose when a word from him would
set stocks booming or tumbling as he
saw fit to make them.
Concerning the interview and its
authenticity, the Philadelphia Ledger
prints the following, the truthfulness
OF which will be Immediately recog-
nized by every newspaper man and
other person who has dealings with
newspaper men
Our contemporary, The Press, has
rendered excellent service to journal
ism and the public by maintaining the
accuracy OF published report of an in
terview the fidelity of which had been
denied by the person interviewed. The
experience of the Ledger is that no one
more than the reporter of a reputable
newspaper appreciates the truth that
his most valuable and valued qualifica-
tion for his work is that Of absolute
integrity OF statement That is the
quality which must be the first and
best characteristic OF the reporter, and
the Ledger bears earnest testimony to
the fact that It is one which is the
most esteemed by both the reporter
and by reputable editors and publish
ers, the latter being properly held to
be not less morally than legally re-
spOnsibe for the formers statements
and reports.
Regarding this matter, our contem-
porary pertinently and justly says
"A reputable public journal to-day is
conducted with the care and the cir
cumspection which great interests and
its duty to the public demand. The re
ports II prints are carefully verified
its interviews are accurately tran
scribed and all its news so far as the
conditions permit, is made the subject
of painstaking care. Mistakes are in
evitably made and errors occur. These
cannot be prevented, but they are rare
prompt correction is at the service OF
all aggrieved, and where injury Is
done the law imposes its penalties"
Whose are things which it is proper
that the public should know, and to the
end that they may be known, It is sim
ilarly proper that every respectable
journal, the faithfully accurate reports
or statements of which are impugned
should resolutely maintain their fldel
ity against every reckless or unscru
pulous assailant. That being done
both the public and the newspaper
will be benefited. Such of the latter a
are sedulously careful not to publisl
libels upon others should not permi
others to libel them. The malevolen
or reckless libeller, in or out OF tn
newspaper Office, should be Obliged L
pay the penalty of his Offendin
against truth and good fame.

PROSPERITY UNDER TWO TAR.

The banner year for the farmers of
America, until this one came along,
was 1912, when the total value OF
our exported merchandise, consisting
mainly of our surplus farm crops, was
s1,015, 100000.
The banner year was outdOne by the
record OF the fiscal year 1S96-97, where

President Harrison sent his cele-
brated prosperity message to Congress
in December, 1892, using that enor-
nous export total as the text Of a ser

Mckinley tariff.
Another prosperity message might
now be penned, using the still more
enormous export total of 1S96-97 as the
text Of a sermon on the beneficial

TROUBLE OYER A CABLE

IT LED TO A RUMOR WHICH
PROVES TO BE UNFOUNDED.
The rumor current that the Equi-
table Guarantee and Trust Company
had refused to permit the Delmarvia
Telephone Company to install any
more telephones in the building and
had ordered the nine already installed
to be taken out proves to be un-
founded.
The Equitable Company resented the
action of the Delmarvia in drilling a
hole in the wall of the building and
running its cable in without first cl64
tanning permission, and served notice
on the telephone company that it must
run it's cable in the back way or take
it out altogether.
One of the officials of the Equitable
says that the company has no desire
to keep the new telephone company
out. 2F TRlTI
