> 1t sometimes happens that people
who hand in items to the newspaper
feel agrieved because they are not
printed precisely as written. They
, should bear in mind the fact that an
: editor holds himself responsible for all
: that appears in his paper as news or
5 editorial; that certain rules are estab-
7 lished as to phraseology, punctuation,
3 capitalization, etc. These and other
reasons make it impossible to publish
s every item or article just as il reaches
= the office. We are always glad to
g have the people hand us items but
: don't want them TO feel hurt If some OF
+ the items are changed little. Adver.
tising is always published just as it il
Z written, but the news matter is an en-
: tirely different thing, and is accepted
j. subject to being edited in conformity
J. with the rules of the office. Green.
