AN EDITORS DUTY.

Out at Garden City few days ago
a gambler assaulted George B. Harrison
editor of the Telegram at that place, for
publishing certain facts about the gam
bier in connection with a news story
concerning an attempted suicide. Mr..
Harrison is a son of T. w. Harrison, of
Topeka. and is we'll known here. TAX
ing this incident as text, Henry Allen
takes occasion to make a few remarks
about a newspapers duty to it's readers.
in which he says:
'.Out at Garden City the editor of the
Evening Telegram was assaulted Sat
urday with a coupling pin by a gam
bier. A young man of the town had
lost his money to the gambler and had
attempted suicide. The editor of the
Telegram came near to following in the
footsteps of the reckless young man by
printing the story and using the gam
bler's name. The most foolish man in
the cast was the gambler. who laid in
wait for an editor A gambler cannot
kill an editor with a coupling pin, be-
cause an editor is a righteous man and
coupling pins do not hurt him. Men who
get caught at some grave form OF cuss-
edness have a strange notion about the
duty of a newspaper. The people who
pay ten cents a week for the Garden
City Evening Telegram have some
rights. They have right to expect
that the paper will print the facts about
matters of human interest and the
municipal civilization. The editors who
fail to do this rightfully lose the respect
Of their readers. A newspaper engages
with its readers as plain business con-
tract to print the news. When 1t fails
to do this it violates a contract, and
works a confidence game on its patrons.
The editor who gets slugged for print
ing facts is unfortunate, but he has the
warm consolation OF knowing in the

Victor Murdock's Remarks of a
Retired Politician: Few men are as
partisan in thought as they are in
speech. Every newspaper editor
has the experience after campaign of
finding that the opposition considered
him abusively unfair and his own
side believed that he lacked vigor.
