The CASE OF F. C. ANDREWS.

y THE RUIN which has over
whelmed Frank c. Andrews Of
Detroit may be found valuable les
son for the youth Of the country. Few
young men have had more exceptionaI
advantages than he; few have been
more literally endowed with the genius
for making money. Although little
more than a boy he made a large for
tune and seemed destined to rank
with the country's foremost financiers.
Then the demon of greed fastened
itself upon him. The million of dol
lars he had made in legitimate enter
prises looked very small in the society
in which he found himself. If he could
make a million so easily. why couldn't
he increase the pile to three or four
or a dozen millions? The legitimate
enterprises had yielded literally. but
those avenues of wealth were temno-
rarily closed and Andrews turned his
attention to other fields
Naturally that greatest of gambling

ENGLAND POINTS TIE WAY.

THEY DO SOME THINGS different
L ly in England, and, if the truth
must be told, they do them better. For
| instance, a public man in London gave
an interview to a newspaper. A day
/ or so later IN an interview with an
other paper he said that he had been
misquoted by the first paper. He went
further and declared that the first pa
| per lied about him. The accused paper
didn't content itself with simple
publication TO the effect that the
statesman himself was a liar.
1t promptly filed suit against the
/ gentleman for libel. The case has not
come TO trial. but when it does. if the
facts are as stated it viii be strange
If the plaintiff doesn't secure a judg-
ment for a liberal amount of money.
This is as it should be. The reputa
ti0n OF a newspaper for truth and
veracity is as precious as the reputa-
ton of any individual.
Practically all the newspapers in the
United States are at great pains to
secure thorough accuracy in their re-
ports. AS a general rule they are ac-
curate and reliable. Especially is this
true with regard to interviews, those
of Importance being almost always
submitted to the person interviewed
before they are published. Public men
have a habit of saying a great many
things that don't look well in print.
Their words sound good when spoken
to the reporter, but when they appear
in cold type and an uproar is raised the
statesman says: THE paper lied.
didn't say anything of the kind" It is
so easy, and it has always been so
safe TO shift the blame in this man.
ner. Now. if some Of these gentlemen
should be brought up with a round
turn, it would have a tendency 10
make them very careful about SIAN
dering the newspapers.
The Herald would like to see a case
of this kind tried in the United States,
and it believes a fair-minded jury
would say in no uncertain language
that it is just as criminal to libel a
newspaper as to libel an individual.
