False Assertions in Evening contem- porary Regarding Review News Service-"Print Tooay's News To- day, Not Tomorrow"


 day, Not Tomorrow"
 A letter received yesterday by the Review from a Clifton correspondent | makes reference to an Interview printed Ia ,he Tucson Citizen on Thursday evening of last week. in which Bishop Graa1Jn was quoted as saying that President Roosevelt. ! through the Attorney General, had in- stTucted the United States Marshal for Arizona to take steps to secure the return to the New York Catholic Or phanage authorities Of the children forcibly ;aken frcm them at Clifton l several weeks ago The letter states that the Citizen article does injustice to some residents of Clifton. and that they will resist through the courts any endaavor on the part of the Unit ed States Marshal to take the childrenl away on the grounds stated in thel Citizen.
 The interview, which the Clifton correspondent takes exceptions to. was stolen bodily from the Citizen by the Miner of this city, and reprinted Sunday morning in its columns with a Washington daSe line, being made a part of the faked and stolen date line telagraphic" matter which composes the papers "hCt from the (scissoT) wire service"
 The Citizen containing the inter v,ew. and the allegation that the Unit ed States Marshal had been instructed to take a hand in the final settle ment of the trouble at Clifton was re- ceived ia tie Review office Saturday morning. and immediately clipped by the exchange editor for the desk of the managir@ editor.
 This same news was made public in Phoenix on Saturday, and was known m Clifton. and all over the territory before the Miner wen. to press. This game news. or it's substance. was pub lined unGer a Phoenix date line in the Review of Sunday morning. It veri- fled. practically. the more detailed ! statement printed in the Citizen and stolen by tho Miner Saturday to make the greatest scoop ever" on Sunday | morning.
 In a two-column assertion made yes terday in the Miner, offer to pay" (amount carefully withheld) was made for proof that the Review did not take the Phoenix dispatch it had from the columns of the Miner Pub lication of an ad. worth about 15 cents a month was also offered. The pay" vas to 90 to any church or charitable ogsnizatien in the city. Any thnca ~ sh1s haN Miner did not have. alone and solely as the article states. the only infoTma- ton concerning the matter that was available to the press of the territory on Saturday night. This proof is self evident from the fact that the same matter was published at Tucson and hO3niX before the Bisbee papers re- ceiyed the news
 The great Sunday morning scoop" of the Miner was a stale piece of news, entitled at tbe most to no more than the brief space the Review gave 1t.
 The Miner has been switching it's time tables 50 often that the manage ment evidently is slightly mixed. It will be well for the Miner to adhere 10 that old hackneyed phrase of af- SSA HOOH papers, print JOday news today and not tomorrow" If the ev- ening paper mad gone to press on Sat urday afternoon at the usual hour, eliminating the subscribers of the Tucson Citizen. it would have been the first Bisbee paper to publish the account, but for the benefit of the Miner, who appears to be terribly down in the mouth. the management desires to state that long before the Miner was or the streets of Bisbee the scoop" was in the possession of the Review through it's regular chan nels.
 In conclusion. the evening contem- porary of late has been staying up nights worrying for fear the editor of the Review vas not at the helm. We are right here. ''Semp." a little over worked and shy on sleep, but never theless We are still here And before we close. just e little advice-the next time you think you have got scoop" print it today. and not tomorrow.
