Of the interested parties. 1t was only
last week that young man with a
very red face entered The Courier
office remarking that he had come to
suppress an item which no paper had
any business to print without his
consent. His appearance and tone
suggested that the item concerned
matrimonial arrangements on his
part, heretofore entirely unsupported
by his neighbors. He was pacifed by
the assurance that the code would
prevent the publication Of such an
item without the vcrification and con.
sent Of one OF the contracting parties.
The incident is referred to because it
happens so often, and because it shows
that few outside the profession credit
those in it with any sense Of propriety.
Tramps and the Railroads.
Mr.. Josiah Flynt, who becomes a
tramp for six months at a time, off
and on, undertook an investigation
suggested to him by the general man.

bonds. His devotion to the Baconian
method Of Investigation has been re-
warded for he is the best tramp
authority In the United States and
his contributions to tramp literature
are helping economists and charity
organization students to solve the
problem Of wandering Migrants. The
most unpleasant part of the cOnduc.
tors and brakemen's duty is the con.
slant election Of tramps from the tops
and trucks Of cars. The men who
run trains in and out of Lincoln have
been particularly bothered this spring
with tramps. In unusual numbers
they break the seals on box cars,
stretch themselves on the trucks and
climb onto the roofs of the cars. The
very ease with which they can travel
increases the number Of such travel
lers, it developes the nomadic instinct
never quite extinguished in the most
Industrious. Besides the tramps be-
gin by begging and as soon as beg
ging has extinguished all self respect,
and that is very soon. they are ready
to steal to satisfy their wants. There

ers accused Of having no visible
means Of support. The agents Of the
charity organization societies through
out the country are also becoming
familiar with the history, antecedents
and peculiarities of the local paupers,
and by intelligent treatment have
reduced the number Of mendicants.
Their work too is complicated by
the nomadic beggar. The number Of
tramps which are carried free and
which destroy company property in
crease the expense Of the road and
thus makes travelling more expensive
for the honest and industrious. The
general manager already quoted who
succeeded in making the tramps be-
ware Of his road, says: There are
three conspicuous reasons that have
deferred railroad managers from at.
lacking the tramp problem. First it
has been thought that it would entail
very great expense. Our experience
shows that this fear was unwarranted.
Second, is has been thought that no
support would be given the movement
by the local magistrates and police
authorities. Our experience shows
that in the great majority of cases we
have the active support Of the local
police authorities and that the mag.
istrates have done their full duty.
Third, it was feared that there might
be some retaliation by the tramps.
Up to date we have very little to
complain Of on that score. From the
reports that l get from my men l
believe that we are gradually Kidding

of the territory in which it is situated,

summary Of the cost of tramps is

Wide Tires.
An asphalt pavement requires
wider tires than macadam or brick.
In order to resist the cracking effects
of frost, the asphalt is mixed so that
IL will soften at a comparatively low
Temperature. The pavement on
Eleventh street shows the effect of
tires. The cuts made by tires in the
asphalt will melt together again, but
we need an ordinance regulating the
width Of tires. Other cities have such
an ordinance and the taxpayers who
lay the paving have right to ask
that their property be not destroyed
by the country people and buggy
owners who drive up and down on the
asphalt pavement with so much en-
joyment. Tests Of the relative
draught of wide and narrow tired
vehicles on hard and soft, level and
hilly roads have demonstrated the
superior advantages OF the wide tire
80 that it would be no hardship to
require the gradual displacement of
the narrow tire by the wide.
Newspaper Ethics.
1t has been the experience Of most
newspaper people that the general
public believes that reporters and
editors have no conscience at all, and
that they will sacrifice personal prin.
ciples for the sake Of printing an
unimportant item Of news-that is.
unimportant to everybody except the
marty or parties concerned. My own
experience with the newspaper folk
of Lincoln and elsewhere, though
somewhat limited, has been sufficient
to convince me that in comparison
with other professions, newspaper
men have a keener sense OF response
bility and a greater unwillingness to
do any one an injustice than other
men. The very ease with which an
injustice can be accomplished and a
scandal disseminated makes an editor
more careful than the lawyer Tor
instance whose training and instinct
incline him to a one sided view OF
persons and cases. Newspaper folk
are human and make mistakes but
their mistakes are fewer, though they
NAV have wider consequences than
those Of other people whose work is
easier and better paid. The world
believes that an editor will use his
paper to punish a private wrong. NO
successful editor ever practised such
a principle. no reporter could hold
his Job and use it for revenge. NO
community would support a paper
published for private revenge only.
Newspaper ethics are not theoretical.
They are practical and practised by
ALL professional newspaper workers
who have any standing whatever.

realizes that there are two parties to
a suit, two sides to question, that
