DUTY OF A PAPER.


Newspaper Maker, New York In re-
Spouse to a criticism directed against it
for publishing campaign news not in
accord with its political views, the es-
teemed Atlanta Constitution - which,
we may remark in passing, Is one Of
the very best conducted newspapers in
the country-prints the following para
gragh:
tThe editorial opinions held by a
news paper have no relation whatever
to its news service. The newspapers
editorial views are worth just that
weight which the people choose to give,
while the news is furnished in order
that the people may form their views
about public questions.
That is exactly what the Times-R ecor-
der has always maintained, and which it
repeatedly declared during the recent
campaign. The rule laid down by The
Constitution embodles the policy which
this paper has always resolutely follow
ed during the recent political contest.
We believe that the readers of a
newspaper are entitled to the news, re-
CARELESS of what the opinions of the
newspaper may be. Any other rule
would be a practical fraud upon the
reading public. People in this age
take newspapers for news primarily, and
for their opinions, incidentally. The
time has long since gone by when q
public journal can, with impuDity, colon
its news to suit its editorial policy.
The people in this generation are toe
intelligent for that.
There was a time when the organ
fourished-when it was deemed t.
be legitimate for a newspaper to dis
tort, suppress, amputate. and muhlat'
its news to suit its own editorial pre-
judices-but that time has long since
passed, let us hope never to return.
The newspaper that is not fearless
free, and impartial in the publication
of the news is doomed to fatal loss 0
influence, if not to extinction.

PLAYING TO COTTON GAMBLERS

The United States agricultural sta
istical department cannot afford to
have its work discredited.
The charge has been made that its
enlarged cotton estimate was in the
interest of speculation. Certain it is
that it was used in advance by cot
ton gamblers upon which to make
trades, which suggests either an I'M
derstand1ng somewh ere-or leak. We
prefer to believe the latter.
A New York report says that Mr..
Frank B. Guest, member Of the firm
of Frank B. Guest & Co., well known
cotton exchange commission house.
announced that advance information
on the governments cotton crop re-
port was offered to him on Saturday.
The story goes thus:
When the exchange closed on Satur-
day 1t was rumored that one or two
prominent> firms had had an offer OF
information and 1t was added that the
exchange officials were contemplating
q searching investigation but members
of prominent firms and the exchange Of
ficials denied knowledge of such an oc-
eurrence. MIR. Guest said that tde ex-
change officials have been placed in
possession of information By him that
will put stop for a long time to leak
ages, which in the D6st have caused
much trouble. Th;( information offer
ed for sale probably would help the
firm getting hold of it to win thousands
of dollars. Samu9l T. Hubbard, pre-
sident of the cotto Ia exchange, has the
full information needed, including,
says Mr.. Guest, the name and address
of the man offering 40 sell the advance
informatiop, he will go to Washing
ton 81 once and ask for an inyestiga-
ton by the department of agriculture.
Mr., Guest and other exchange mem
bers expressed their utmost confidence
in the integrity of John Hyde, the
statistician of the department, and say
that the leakage must haYe come
throug some of his subordinates. Cot
ton firms say that there have been
many instances of such leakage in re-
cent years. In payment for the infor-
nation Mr.. Guest says he was asked to
carry 500 bales, worth now about S25,
600, for the informer's account, he to
assume all risks. This would give the
informer profit of about $25 on each
point advance.
A strict investigation should follow.
in order to render a repetition of this
matter posslble.-Atlanta Constitu-
ton.
