General Trutl1fulness
of the Newspapers.

There mas Deen much said ABOUT the
truthfulness of newspaper reports,
and there is a stock expression to the
effect that less than one-halr of what
Ia newspaper prints is true, but very
few people who say this really mean
it. If they did they would not rely
on the newspapers for their informa-
ton.
In the first place, it,fs the mission
of the newspaper to prime the news,
and II it prints the news it must print
the truth. IL what pufports to be a
Inswslitem is manufactured in a news
paper Office, and given to the public az
news. then that paper is exceeding its
powers and calling. and sooner or
later the support givensit win be found
waning. ANY newspaper man knows
that his paper must print facts If it
would be made success, and the
average newspaper man Is not in the
business either for sentiment or
pleasure; he is in the business to
make it paying investment, and he
| is sure to try ane do those things
which viii bring his paper into the
forefront of the profession.
To say that newspaper never
makes errors. Or neyer prints stories
which are not always borne out by
the facts, woula be claiming more for
the newspaper men than could be
claimed for other men in other call
ings and professions in life. A news
paper man is Just as liable to MAKE
errors as other men, but 1t is safe to
| say that the newspaper man makes
greater effort 20 get at the facts in ELL
cases than the average man of other
professions, for the obvious reason
that he, the newspaper man, puts his
statements in print, and is held re-
spons;bIe for their accuracy.
There are great many public men
who abuse thu newspapers for quot
ing statements they make in public
speech, claiming that the newspapers
try to misquote them, but in nearly.
every instance OF this kind it is found

perhaps the speaker is wrought up

writing a statement for the public,
knowing and realizing that it will be

definitely. One is lliable to be more
careful in the one instance than he
is in the other.
There have been known to be cases,
and sc is possible some OF them may
have happened in Florida, where GER
tain newspapers, in the heat of a DO
litical campaign, have w1irully print
ed stories OF political meetings, and
made positive statements which they
knew not to be borne out by facts.
But outside OF political campaign, a
newspaper has no desire to print any
thing but facts.
As rule, reporters try to get accu-
rate stories, and in every case where
it can be done, they are always anx-
ious to have them verified before put
ting them into print. There are cases
where reporters have been mislead by
parties, and given ineorree, informa-
ton, but these cases are unavoidable.
and they happen some times on the
best OF papers.

The Ocala Banner asks Attorney
General Ellis why he allowed $2e.-
10000 TO be paid out of the public
moneys in attorneys fees for work he
was paid to do. The encouragement
was not alone responsible for this. as
there were other members OF the
board, and then again it has been as
serted that the attorney-general could
not have done the legal work for this
board and kept up the routine of his
office. The Banner should not blame
the attorney-ge alone for this ex-
penditure, nor it should not charge
him with shirking his official duties.
To charge him with allowing. as a
member of that board, the payment
OF an annual retainer OF five thousand
dollars to an outside lawyer, is a
grave enough offense, and viii give
him all the explaining he will want to-
do.
