Correspondents of the INDEPENDENT
are advised not to send in jokes as
news. Where indulged this propensity
has caused publishers of newspapers
far more trouble than any possible val
ue they can get out of such corre-
spondence. The correspondent who
confines himself strictly to news items
and legitimate personal mention. is a
help. All others are harm.
