Bsckwoods journalism.

This age of progress, which has
witnessed transformation i'll all lines
of business. has brought no greater
changes than in the business of news
paper publishing.
In the old days. the truth was at a
discount in newspaper offices-if the
truth was unsuitable TO the policy" of
the management. News was colored.
distorted. or suppressed, as the pol
ICY required. The new school of
journalism is different The guiding
principle with all real newspapers to-
day is: Tell the truth; print the
news. and let readers draw concm-
sions for themselves"
The local Gazette is one of the few
publications which. pretending to be
newspapers. cling to the old style-the
system of perpetrating frauds upon
readers by publication Of lying news q"
the publication of fake" dispatches.
the "coloring" of news to suit the
policy" of the paper, and the out
right suppression of news if il runs
counter to the office policy" Yes
terday brought a shining instance.
Delegate Cameron telegraphed from
Washington to the three papers in

telegram which we print on the first

each of the three papers early in the
afternoon. 1t was delivered to the

tomorrow. and this is the type of
man Addison meant when he wrote.
We are apt to rely upon future
prospects and become really expen-
sive while we are only rich in possi-
bility. We live up to our expecta-
lions. not to our possessions. and
make figure propOrtionable to what
we may be. not what we are. We
outrun our present income, as not

From Delegate Cameron.

The statement telegraphed from
Washington yesterday by Delegate
Cameron. which we print on the first
page of The Republican this morning
viii be convincing to every mind that
is even slightly open to reason.
Explaining the situation clearly and
in detail. Arizona's representative in
congress concludes his telegram with
the definite statement:
From my personal knowledge OF
the situation, il is an assured fact
that the required approval will not be
given the constitution in its present
form"
The delegate from this territory is
the man of all others to whom we
have a right TO look for an accurate
review of the situation at Washing
ton He is the representative of all
the people 1t would be impossible to
find in all the territory a citizen more
anxious for statehood than Delegate
Cameron. So anxious is he for state
hood that. like The Republican and
the vast majority of our people. he
would gladly accept admission under
the pending constitution or any other
constitution that representative citi-
zens of Arizona might write He de-
ferred advising his constituents until
he could inform them beyond all doubt
If il had been possible for him to give
a CLEAN of hope. he would have en-
braced the opportunity. most eagerly.
He has waited until he was sure Of
his facts
Now. he tells the facts To be sure.
his statement is but confirmatory of
the information which has been com
ing to The Republican and to others
in the territory from reliable sources
for months. but there is this differ
ence: While The Republican and
many others We're convinced months
ago that this constitution would de-
feat statehood. Delegate Cameron has
been hoping against hope for change
in Washington sentiment. The only
change he has been able to find was
a steady growth of opposition to the
constitution among republicans and
democrats alike. the more the docu-
ment was studied.
At last even the hopeful. optimistic
Mr.. Cameron has had to give UP.
Statehood is unobtainable with the
constitution as framed, and in the
performance of a high duty To the
people of his territory, he tells them
the truth.

DREAMERs WHO BENEFIT

The world owes very much to its
dreamers, but it also loses very much
through them. Dreaming without
working gets nothing for either the
dreamer or the world in which he is
living.
The type of dreamer that lives in
the clouds. but finds time TO come
down once in awhile to give to the
world something worth while, is
