the SINCERITY OF THE PRESS.

THE SINCERITY OF THE PRESS.
Newspapers are very frequently
criticized for their inaccuracies. Often
a remark is heard that 1--WE don't be-
lieve anything we see in the papers. "
How many times is it true that the
critic of the daily press IS one Of the
great body of people who contribute
to those same reportorial errors.
Persons who withhold legitimate
information from newspapers, and
throw the reporters on their own re-
sources to obtain the answers to their
questions have no evident right to
find fault or to complain if those an
svers are not entirely correct The
American Press, a journal devoted to
newspaper interests, sums this
thought up tersely by saying: Ill
advised or improper secretiveness on
the part of individuals is a sure pro-
Queer of journalistic errors. Frank
ness to honest reporters will not be
abused, and the honesty of reporters
as a class cannot justly be assailed.
The sooner that responsible persons
maintain open mindedness toward
representatives of responsible newspa-
pers the sooner will the inaccuracies
of the press be diminished"
"A prominent official of this state
once said that if he ever had an arti-
Gle which he wanted to hold out OF
the papers, he would call in all OF the
Dress representatives and tell them
the news, and then explain his rea-
sons for not wanting it made public.
And in turn the reporters trusted him
to give them all of the legitimate
news which he had, and their trust
was not misplaced.
There is another class Of people who
seem to delight in giving reporters
false clues. A lie II. lie, and can
be CARRIED in no other dress. If the
news rustler is told a lie by per-
son whom he considers is response
bile, the paper is the one which must
take the blame. 1t is very probable
that this same individual would be
the first to rail against the honesty
OF the press.
Alt papers want the news, and they
want true news. Many a person
knows of a dozen little items which
would be OF interest to his neigh
bors but forgets to tell it to the re

porter He wonder later why it
never appeared in the paper. False
"tips," and failure to give "tips'' on
news, are both faults which affect
the daily press, the remedy for which
lies with the public itself. 1t Is we'll
to think twice before being too hasty
in uttering words of censure.

the sincerity of the newspaper may IN

New York city has lost a strange
and pathetic character in the sudden
death of the "horseradish lady," az
she was for forty years on the East
Side. The success which comes with
frugality and perseverance, and at
tention to the little details Of life was
very apparent when friends Of the
dead woman discovered that she had
left a large estate.

FAILURE AND LIQUOR,

Says Andrew Carnegie, the steel
magnate: "The first and most Sc
ductive peril, and the destroyer of
most young men is the drinking of
liquor. am no temperance lecturer
in disguise, but a man who knows
and tells you what observation has
proved to him; and say to you that
you are more likely to fail in your
career from acquiring the habit OF
drinking liquor than from any or all
other temptations likely to assail
you.
You may yield to almost any other
temptation and reform-may brace
VI, and, if not recover lost ground,
at least remain in the race, and Sc.
cure and maintain respectful posi-.
ton
But from failure caused by the
drink habit. recovery is almost i'm
possible. I have known but few ex-
ceptions to the rule

A TEMPERANCE LECTURE.
In harmony with a widely.observed
New Years day custom. several
young men called upon a young lady.
Her father was also present to assist
in entertaining the guests. He did
not share his daughters scruples,
for he had the wine to offer. This

drunk, but the young lady asked:
Ibid you call upon me or upon
papa?"
Gallantry, if nothing else, CON-
PEELED them to answer:

"Then you will please not drink
wine. I have lemonade for my Wis
itors "
The father urged the guests to
drink and they We're undecided.
he young lady added:
Remember, if you call on me,
then you drink Lemonade; but if up
on papa, why. in that case, I have
nothing to say"
The wine glasses were set down
with their contents untasted. After
leaving the house, one Of the party
exclaimed:
"That was the most effectual tenn
perance lecture have ever heard"
The young man from whom these
facts were obtained broke off at
once from the use of strong drink,
and holds a graceful remembrance
of the lady who gracefully and reso-
lutely gave him to understand that
her guests should not drink wine.-
