The Paper that will
not Correct an Error
Cannot Help Lying

Through error two or three yigners
to the agreement for the settlement
OF Colorado State bank matters got
into the wrong column. The Herald
was quick to make correction, even in
advance of being requested to do So
Every honest newspaper will correct
an error. and the editor of the morn
Ing paper has many times called at.
and readiness to correct an error or
wrong. Well, the paper contained
series of false statements Tuesday
morning, the same as 1t has every
time it has had anything to say re-
garding bank matters, but we have
not noticed any corrections. Under
date OF Feb. 10. Mr.. c. A. Daggett OF
Chama sent the Democrat Il commun-
ication which unequivocally gives the
lie, but the morning sheet has not the
manhood to make the correction,
hence 1t remains for The Herald to-
do so. Here is Mr.. Daggett's letter
which speaks for itself:
