People come at the newspaper with
the time worn warning that it will do
no good to publish these things" Pub
LEFTY is regarded as being almost if not
quite as potent preventive Of law
breaking as the fear of punishment,
and the effect of publicity should be
considered before rather than after the
commission of offenses. This fear
makes the work of the officers of the
law easier, and the public should know
what is going on in the local courts.
Newspapers usually are glad to with
hold the publication of news which
might prove injurious to the good names
of any individual or work harm to his
business, but there is a class of people
who make habit of trying to suppress
everything with which some Of their
friends are connected. Many years of
experience teach us that no newspaper
ever made any friends or realized any
benefits from suppressing the legitimate
things which the public ought to know.
