1t is hardly true that mis-statements

II is hardly true that mis-statements
occasionally appearing in newspapers
are due to carelessness or the inaccuracy
OF newspaper writers. For after all in
formation given in newspaper is sim
ply publication Of what the people tell
the editor. 1t is impractible to run
down every bit of information gathered
and obtain a sworn certificate OF authen-
ITCHY or reliability. One hasn't time or
opportunity. Hence, il the informant is
inaccurate or unreliable the newspaper
gets the worse OF II. With the utmost
caution and care, still it is impossible to
secure at all times inaccuracies because
of the unreliability OF the source Of in
formation published Carroll Herald.
