THE NEWSPAPER REPORTERS WORRIES

Nothing more fully illustrates ana
man the notice and comment evoked by
newspaper lapse or mistake. People
read pages of accurate news reports
and items daily without a thought of
HE rapid nerve racking effort neces-
yary to the collaboration Of hundreds OF
facts concerning thousands of individu-
ais all ass mbied with accuracy and
justice for their information. 1t Is to
be inferred from the quotation below
that the Oskaloosa Herald failed of
complete accuracy in is report of a
meeting. The reasons for the failure
are summed up by that paper after the
following fashion:
You fellows never get anything
right in the papers That is the ex-
preston we are expecting to hear
from various quarters concerning the
meeting Saturday afternoon between
the school board and the parents of the
graduating class. We have heard it
before under similar circumstances. But
how is a reporter supposed to know
what is going on when he is ordered out
CT public institution and the door shut
in his face? The reporter will get the
news somehow; that's his business. But
from one faction, the other of course is
UP in arms and the paper must suffer.
II from the other a like condition
maintains. Hearsay is a mighty poor
source of information and every reput-
able paper spurns it. But the people
are entitled to the news and if those
directly interested in 1T will not permit
the facts to go before the public, thru
The medium of the usual courtesies to
news gatherers, they must, suffer the
consequences of the best that can be
done under the circumstances"
The public has a duty toward the
newspaper quite as thoroughly defined
public. I'm fact the duty of the public
toward the press is its duty toward it
self. The newspaper is the one accu-
rate medium of quick publicity. It
prints the days doings and only In rare
cases is guilty of garbling facts or of q
discourteous attitude toward the public.
The news it will have because that is
the only real reason for its existence,
and the prince of reporters is that one
who always gets his story and always
gets 1t right.
In the case of the Oskaloosa reporter,
who was incontinently fired" from a
public building and thereby failed in
his report, his excuse Is scarcely valid.
His duty was to get the facts of that
meeting and marshal them accurately
into his story. The turning out was a
mere incident not necessarily vital to
his success or forecasting certain fail
ure. At wreck on an Iowa railroad in
August of last year reporters were per-

turn insisted that the reporter get the

CAUSE FOR AVOIDING CHURCH.
Long-Winded and VociferOus Bishsp
Found No Favor with
Child.

There is q certain bishop whose piety
is unquestioned, but who has an unfor-
tunate habit of preaching very long
sermons. He has, besides, an exceed
ingly eonorous voice. and people living
anywhere within block Of his church
can hear him without taking the
trouble to enter the sanctuary. A few
Sundays ago he was announced to
preach at popular church and the
family who entertained him had lit
tie daughter who was very fond of at
tending service. When the family got
ready little Elsie fatty refused to go
with them, says London paper.
ST don't want to go to church," she
declared.
.sWhat's the matter?" asked the
mother, much surprised, ''are you ill ?'
81 don't like the bishop" confessed
the child.
''Oh, Elsie that's a wicked thing to
say!" gasped the mother.
''I hate the bishop" insisted the lit
tie one.
"Tell mother why" said the hostess.
"WeI," said Elsie, confidently, ''the
bishop breaches so long that can't
keep awake and he breaches so loud
that I can't go to sleep" AS the divine
tells the story on himself, it is prob
ably true.

Griswold grasped the hand which
had not yet been wholly withdrawn,
and wrung it heartily.
''I did you a very great Injustice,
Mr.. Griffin, and I'm sorry. That's
but a poor amend, but it's all that

'The sparrow is certainly knowing
bird" said a man who is employed at
the Girard Point grain elevators. ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Record.
HE can figure out thing for him
self in way that is astonishing.
Down around the elevators there are
thousands of them who feed on the
grains of wheat that fall to the ground,
but recently we haven't been getting
any wheat. In fact, for some time
past we haven't been handling any,
thing but corn.
Nov, a kernel of corn is rather too
large for a sparrow to swallow, but
just the same 1 watched lot of them
picking up the kernels the other day
and what do you suppose they did
with them? You will hardly believe
me when l tell you, but it's gospel
truth. Each sparrow few over to the
railroad and carefully deposited his
kernel of corn on the rail- Then they
all hoped around and chartered until
a shifting engine came along. After
it had passed the corn was ground into
meal and the sparrows ate it. Don't
tell me a sparrow hasn't any brains.

Sir Thomas Upton thinks that in
Shamrock III he has the cup litter.
He said as much however. when Sham
rock II was launched. There is no
doubt that Fife and Watson have done
their best in this new challenger and
if she is not successful it is doubtful
if they will make another effort. They
will probably step aside and leave
the field clear for other ambitious de-
signers and builders of boats
According to the account published
in our dispatches yesterday Fife struck
out entirely new and novel lines. He
did not attempt to improve upon the
model of Shamrock II. And it is
worthy Of notice that he has adopted
the American wheel for steering. The
English tiller has been abandoned.
That is a concession to the American
yacht builders-builders who have
succeeded in keeping the cup on this
side of the ocean for more than fifty
years.
Sir Thomas confidence is shared
quite generally in England by yacht
men. All of them somehow have got
the impression that the people of this
country would like to see the cup go
back to England for a season, and that
seems to assist in making them conf
dent that they will get the cup this
year.
But even if the American people
would not feel badly if the English
should get the cup it is clear that
there is not going to be any let up
in the efforts to defend the cup. The
name of the new defender is the Re
lance and the suggestion is thrown
out that Herreshoff, her designer, is
just as confident that the cup will re-
main in this country as Sir Thomas
is that he is going to carry it to Eng
land.
One thing is certain, and that is
that interest in the cup contest this
year is greater than in any previous
one. Close as the last race was there
is a feeling that the race this year is
going to be even closer. 1t is d quite
safe statement that if Sir Thomas
fails this time he will admit that he
cannot get a boat in England that
can lift the cup.

The Duke of Orleans, who was
recently reinstated into the good
graces of King Edward, is a man of
varied attainments, who, in spite of
his failings, invariably manages to
favorably impress those with whom he
comes in personal contact. The Duke
is an all-around athlete, a fine horse
man, a good shot, a perfect skater and
is one of the best amateur boxers in
Great Britain.
The first bill vetoed by Gov. Bach
elder of New Hampshire is that pro-
viding an appropriation of $4,000 to
found state sanatorium for consump-
tives. The Governors reasons are sub
stantially these: That tuberculosis is
decreasing in New Hampshire; that
the projects for curing the disease in
that climate are largely experimental
and that the state should not at pres
ent make such provision for the care
of one class of sufferers.
