TRUTH VERSUS DECEIT

Why is it that newspapers some
tlmes publish only one side Of a
story? What is the reason that many
facts are suppressed while others are
printed? Can a partial account take
the place of one of full detailsc
Inese questions are asked time and
again by those who are unfamiliar
with, though critical as to, the way
conducted.
Answering the questions in their
reverse order the first reply is, No.
Detail facts are required by editors
and the reporter who has been
"scooped" appreciates the value of
Now counter question is asked:
Is not partial account more salts
factory to the reading public than an
absence of any facts at all? When
the city of Galveston, Tex, recently
was visited by gale and flood which
for time cut off all communication,
would it have been the proper action
on the part of newspapers to have
cause no details could be obtained?
Perhaps more than one Hutchinson
man or woman had friends or dear
ones in the southern city at the time
of its isolation. Would it have been
fair to them to have kept them in
ignorance that the city was threat
ened? No. Yet these were only par
tial facts.
The first and second questions may
be answered in the same way. While
1t is the endeavor of every newspaper
to get at the truth and the whole
truth, it is thwarted oftentimes by the
very persons who, after story has
appeared in print, are loud in their
complaints that the writer has erred
in giving part of the facts but not
all of them. If these persons would
not themselves suppress facts, few
wrong conclusions would be drawn
by the editor and the reading public.
Hutchinson News.
ARE LOOKING US OVER.
And now we are being visited by an
embassy from the Ottoman empire.
Representatives from rejuvenated
Turkey have come to this country to
express their friendship and to con-
vince this country that the Turks are
now awake and are doing things.
They also are here to inform us that
they want our glad hand and want
our business OF course they will be
ington and in other cities they may
visit
While the Turks are here we have
also with US the honorable delegation
of business men from Japan who are
visiting our cities and looking into
our methods Of keeping house. They
are examining the trolley car systems,
the packing houses and the factories
of all sort. They are looking into our
system of municipal government and
are finding out why we do not pro-
duce more bushels of wheat more
corn, more potatoes and more cotton
to the acre.
If there are any other delegations
or embassies from any place who de-
sire to come here and learn how and
why and where we live, they are per-
fectly welcome. We have nothing to
secret. Uncle Sam should give the
glad hand to Turks Japanese and all
other embassies and delegations
which may come, because we may get
some of their business and that is
what we need.-Wichita Eagle.

FROM OTHER PENS
WOMEN AS JURORS.

The New York Sun looks with an
unfavorable eye upon DR.. Landsberg's
proposal to the Association of Ad-
vanced Woman's Clubs in Berlin that,
instead of giving women the ballot
the state admit them to some share
in the administration of justice; to the
extent at least, of allowing them to
serve on juries. In his judgment it
is not conducive to just verdicts that
one-half of humanity should monop-
olize the right of passing upon the de-
linquencies of both halves. On the
other side Of the case, the Sun argues
that if the right of jury service were
given to women this would imply their
eligibility to pass upon the election OF
political representatives and thus the
greater privilege would be granted
while Withholding the less. This ar
gument, however, may be met with
the suggestion that in the case Of
women serving as jurors their serv-
ices might be qualified so as to ex-
clude their passing on political cases.
Excluding jurors for cause would be
no innovation. The practice is illus
trated every day in our courts and is
recognized as essential to the legiti-
mate administration of justice. A
more cogent argument against DR..
Landsberg's idea is that it is eGuiva-
lent. to the insertion of the thin edge
of the wedge, leaving little doubt as
to the sequel. If those who oppose
woman suffrage are to begin franz
ing compromises it should not be a
long step further to surrender.-Pitts-

THE DAIRYMAN's ASSOCIATION

The da1ryman'S association COM
mittee that was chosen at our recent
institute In Blackfoot, met on the
18th instant to complete arrange
ments for meetings to be held In the
several districts embraced In the as
sociation, viz: BlackfoOt, Grove
land, Riverside, Moreland and
Thomas, and It was considered best
that meeting be held in each dis
trict under the direction Of the resi-
dent committeeman, at some time
deemed most convenient for the
farmers to meet before Saturday the
9th instant and it is sincerely hoped
by your committee that you will
show your interest In the work by
lending your presence at these meet
ings.
Here we wish to discuss the merits
of the different breeds Of dairy cat
tie and II possible decide which
breed or breeds will be best for lis to
adopt for our future success in the
dairy industry, SO that we can meet
on the 9th instant, either at the
Commercial club rooms or the Isis
theater and in a reasonably short
time come to some definite cOnclu-
sion ais to what will be for our best
as a community. That the dairy is
going to form very important part
OF our successful farming Is a guar
anteed fact. Dairymen Of large ex-
perience have seen the vast resources
and possibilities OF this wonderful
Snake river valley and have willingly
invested large sums of money In the
business in Idaho Falls, Shelley and
Pocatello, which insures the farmer
a ready sale for all the butterfat he
can produce, at good price at all
seasons Of the year. Now what we
want to do as farmers Is to get the
COW that will give the most butter
for the amount of feed consumed
and care given. Dairying with good |
common cows pays, but dairying
with better cows pays better and |
dairying with the best cows pays
best!
Then why not start right now and
get the best. The common or scrub |
COW has had her day. She answered |
the purpose when we were boarding |
her for the calf, little milk for the
children and cream for the coffee,
but today the wide awake farmer
must have the COW that will fill the
