NEWSPAPER MISTAKES

Nine out of ten people who find their
morning paper waiting at the door for
them every day before breakfast have
almost no conception of how the mass
of information in It Is gathered. To
them It is almost as much a matter
of course as the air and the sunshine.
And sometimes, when they read In 1t
statement which they know to be In
correct, they are severe in their crit
icism and repeat the shallow and un-
Just opinion hat you never can be-
lieve what you see In the papers, any
how?"
II these severely critical readers
of the newspapers knew OF one-quar-
ter the difficulties which beset the re-
porters, correspondents and editors in
the swift gathering of the days news,
they would be more fair and tolerant.
A striking example of what every daily
newspaper has experienced not once
but scores of times, is afforded by the
recent retirement of Dean Gregory Of
st. Pauls cathedral in London, one
of the most venerable, eminent and
beloved prelates In England.
On Saturday, February 20. the Lon
don Daily News announced on what it
believed to be good authority that he
was about to resign. This brought the
following official denial from the dean
) cry:
"The dean is not retiring, and
would like to find out who circu-
lated the untrue report"
The News, fearful that IL had caused
: the dean embarrassment, Immediately
published retraction and an apology.
Doubtless some of Its readers there
! at treated themselves to free and
sneering comment on the unreliable.
ty of the press.
But on the Wednesday following,
the London Times printed this official
announcement from the cathedral:
"The dean of st. Paui's is for
warding to the prime minister
formal intimation that he desires
to resign his Office as from May
next"
Be 1t noticed that the announcement
was not sent to the News which, en-
tirely right at the start, had been In
3 duced TO place itself I'm false and
humiliating position. To represen'
tative of that paper who asked for an
explanation, the secretary OF the dean
icily said that no authorized inter
view had been given out for publica
ton on Friday or Saturday and that
at that time the resignation had moi
been sent in. Moreover. 1t was mo-
within the rights of anyone to ash
for further information"
The reader asks do such things
happen In this country" They do
and every day. They are only one o
the many kinds OF obstacles that arr
deliberately thrown In the way of tn,
news gatherers So, the next time yol
zee an error in your paper. do not b.
hasty In condemnation. .--Clevelan,

NEXT GREAT OLYMPIC.
Have Fast Team of Runners at

John J. Hayes. winner of the 1908
Olympic Marathon run, writes as fol-
lows:
EARLY next June, Stockholm, Sweden,
dict will be the greatest Olympic fes-
tival of modern times. The American
Marathon team will endeavor to retain
the laurels which crowned their efforts
of 1905 The American team in the
Stockholm event viii be powerful one
and venture to predict that the Am
erican Marathon representation will
be 20 per cent. stronger than It was
three years ago. The reason for this
is apparent. as the revival which
turn of the 1908 team caused the
younger athletes to take a more de-
cided interest in this almost neglected
event. The benefits derived from this
condition Of affairs will help the pro-
posed Marathon team q hundredfold-
One OF the main reasons why I pre-
dict strong American team in the
Marathon event is tho fact that we
must surely have prohted by the re-
newed interest the last three years
has seen In this branch Of athletics.
The wave Of Ararathonitis that swept
over the country following the 1908
Olympic classic. brought about a con-
dition that Will prove of immense
value to future Olympic Marathoners.
The results were that, from then up
to the present day. the times are i'm
proving, and record breaking has be-
come a more frequent occurrence.
For instance, witness Crowley annex
