Last Saturday night was Halloween,
and if October the Both had passed
out of the minds of the citizens of Co.
lumbia they were forcibly.. reminded of
the date when they came upon the
square Sunday morning. Nearly all
the entrances to business house were
blockaded by rubbish and the footblocks
at all the stores removed The action
of the ghosts was somewhatsannoying,
but everybody looked upon the scene
as an annual occurrence and made but
little complaint. Occasionally some
one would say: ''Now, who do you sup
pose did that?" Here Virgil Conover' s
answer could have come in very nicely.
Once upon time he caused the arrest
of few boys in town, charging them
with turning his horse loose. When
asked in court who turned his horse
loose, he answered 81 do not know

Suppression of News.
memory.

One of the problems an editor has to
meet is the often repeated requests of
prominent citizens, sometimes valuable
patrons of the paper, that. this or that
item of news be withheld from publica-
ton. This is problem of special diff
Guilty in the smaller cities and towns.
In the larger cities such requests are
not so frequently made, and it is easier
to follow a general rule on the subject.
Speaking of cases of this kind, in which
the matters whose suppression is sought
constitute legitimate items of news,
the Oberlin CO., News says;
People come at the newspaper with
the time worn warning that sit will do
no good to publish these things"
Publicity is regarded as being almost if
not quite as potent preventive of
law breaking as the fear of punish
ment, and the effect of publicity should
be considered before rather than after
the commission of ofenses. TINS fear
makes the work of the officers of the
law easier, and the publics hould 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 class of
people who make habit of trying to
suppress everything with which some
of their friends are connected. Many
years of experience teaches us that NO
newspaper ever made any friends OF
realized any benefits from suppressing
the legitimate things the public ought
to know.
