THE NEWSPAPER AND ITS
EDITOR,

Editing newspaper in some re-
spects is good deal like preaching.
The gospel truth must be presented in
the form of generalities or some fell
low will get hit and howl, says a re-
cent writer. Few persons like truth,
even in homeopathic doses, If it hits
them. But while preachers and
editors are criticised for what they
do say, no one thinks of giving them
credit for what they do not say. Yet
what they keep to themselves consti-
tutes the major portion of what they
know about people. Very many peo-
pie harbor the belief that newspa-
pers are eager to publish derogatory
things. It's a mistake. There isn't
a newspaper that could not spring q
sensation in the community at any
time by merely telling what 1t knows.
There is not newspaper that does
not keep under the lock of secrecy
scores Of derogatory things which
never meet the public eye or reach
the public ear. Deciding what not to
print Is the most troublesome part of
newspaper work. How many good
stories are suppressed for innocent
relatives and for the public good, no
body outside Of a newspaper office
has any idea Of. In some instances
he who flies into a passion because
a newspaper prints something about
him which he considers uncompli-
mentary has every reason to feel pro-
foundly grateful to the newspaper for
publishing so little of what 1t knows
Of him. And oft times the loudest
buffer Is the most vulnerable to at
tack. A big noise is often a device
employed to cover trepidation. News
papers put up with more bluffing
than any other agency would endure.
It 10 not because they lack courage;
1t Is because they are unwilling to
use their power to destroy or ruin
unless the interests of society i'm.
peratively demand 1t. It might be
well for some people to reflect upon
these truths and in silent gratitude
accept mild admonition, lest worst
befall them.-Minneapolis Argus.
