The editor of IA paper rarely
tells half what he knows. His
mission is to tell those things
which will be an advantage to the
community to have told and to
smooth over many things that
have become public which can be
of no benefit to anyone by being
aired in the newspaper. What he
keeps to himself would many times
more than fill paper, while the
paper issued may seem to the
readers woefully slim in the mat
ter of news.
