A PoLIoY OF PLAIN pEcENCY.

1t ought not to be q difficult matter for the public
TO discern and to follow the plain spoken policy OF an
honest newspaper. Honesty takes a simple course.
Its pxth is straight and easily distinguished from the
devious windines of deceit.
IN relation 10 a newspapers course Of action. right
and wrong are not mere abstrac tions. They present
themselves every day in specific tangible shape: in the
form OF clearly defined alternatives. There Is no
doubt about their identity and character; the choice
is plain. Which does the paper pursue? How does
it direct public thought?
A papers honesty is easily shown by the tenor OF
its recommendation TO the public. Its honesty ap-
pears on Its face. Deceit may successfully assume an
open guise for q time. 1t may fool some of the peo-
pie some Of the time, but the disguise Is soon pene-
trable. Deception IL too weak TO support the heavy
weight Of responsibility to the public. Confidence
ultimately forsakes 1t. In all the history OF news
papers there is no single instance OF the permanent
success OF a ~faithiess organ.
Honesty consists in nothing more nor less than
giving the citizen a square deai. extending value re-
-ceived to the reader who pays his penny. The man
who honors a newspaper by a resort to its columns
