Where Do They Start

The live newspaper man is con-
tinually up against the canard. The
canard is the story of interest with
out shadow Of truth or fact. They
are senseless, disappointing, and often
harmful. Where do they start? Any
reporter can tell where the most of
them end. The Astoria is moved to
this comment by having one of these
lively things thrust across its path
yesterday. The source from which it
came was, practically, unimpeachable;
and ii ran TO the effect that a certain
prominent municipal officer, popular
ly respected and wholly responsible,
had filed his resignation with the
civic authorities: that it would be
acted upon in due course; that the re-
signing official would thereafter en-
gage in commercial pursuits, his ex-
tensive interests therein having been
acquired some time ago, Seeking for
confirmation, the party in question
was approached, and the entire story
was flatly and unequivocally denied,
from beginning to end, and the de-
NAL emphasized by most excellent
reasons for its utter ambiguity and
But the story is still
going on its foolish way and will
keep on till knocked out by
The public declaration of its false
hood, by the man at interest.
