The Hazard of Giving the News

In these days of the modern news
paper. when night editors must handle
many. columns of news in a few
hours time, when fingers and scissors,
brain and pencil must work rapidly
and under pressure, it sometimes hap
pens that matters will get by" the
most efficient and conscientious re-
porter and worker at the night desk.
Worthy citizens, or the papers best
friends or even the paper itself, may
be the sufferers. The Journal has
always striven to reach that impossi-
bic ideal of being the one exception to
this rule and when injury has been
thus inadvertently done, has always
been ready and anxious to set the in
jured party right before the public.
On March 3. 1912, in the course of a
speech delivered in Waterville at a
Democratic meeting, Mr.. PattangalI
made a certain charge against Hon.
Howard Davies of Yarmouth, in con .
ncction with the election in 1909 of a
member of the Governors Council.
This charge forms the subject matter
of a suit for libel commenced by MIR.
Davies against Mr.. Pattangail. and
need not be further referred to here
Our Watervile correspondent, in
common with other reporters present
at the meeting. and with no intention
of injuring Mr.. Davies, referred to
this charge in his report of the meet
ing. This report came to the night
editor in the rush of night work, was
published, and appeared in our issue
of March 4. The report was pub
lished exactly as received from Wa
terville and without the slightest
knowledge of it's contents on the part
of either of the proprietors of the
Journal, whose first information with
reference thereto was derived from
the columns of the journal.
Deeply regretting the episode, the
Journal promptly published on March
. Mr.. DaEies' denial of the charge,
and voluntarily by way of introduce
ton thereto took occasion to state
that that denial was fully expected OF
a man Of the welI-known honor and
integrity of Mr.. Davies
The journal now desires to reiter-
"a 10 a.
currence. and it's disbelief of the truth
OF this charge, or of anything in con-
nection with the subject matter
thereof which would tend to reflect in
any way upon the spotless reputation
and unquestioned integrity of Mr.
Davies. 1t was the privilege of one
of the members of this firm to be as
ISOLATED with Mr.. Davies upon the
judiciary committee in the Legislature
of 1909, and he then. as now. es-
teemed him most highly as gentle
man of integrity, an able and con-
seientious lawyer, and personal
friend. Mr. Davies has been a promi-
nent and foreeful character in public
life for several years back. His
position on every issue was never a
matter of doubt, and he has always
had the courage of his convictions and
the eloquence and logic to impress
them upon his hearers.
All those who know Howard Davies
will eoncede the entire justice of what
we have said. II is with the few who
may not know him and who may pos.
sibly have read the report in question
that we desire to set Mr.. Davies

Civilization retired. Monday eve
passengers and members of the crew
on the Titanic were comparatively
safe: that the good ship had proved
her triumph over the elements and
that her water tight compartments
were sustaining her while her engines
were bringing her to land, under the
convoy of several other great steam
ships which had been called to the
Titanics assistance by wireless calls
for help. Up-to-date and hustlins
newspapers compiled reassuring edi-
torials, during the day. telling of the
not only made possible the eonstrue-
ton of indestructible ocean going
ships but also the calling of aid to
disabled ships from hundreds of miles
distant
The suspicion has been aroused. al
though we should be slow to accept
the truth of the suggestion, that fav-
orable reports were sent broadcast
and kept in circulation. in order to
prevent raids upon the stock markets
which such disaster would be sure
| to precipitate. Yet it seems almost
impossible, in the light of the de-
velopments of a few hours and the
use of the wonderful agency which
called other steamships to the side of
the scene of the disaster, that the
real truth should not have been
known long before night on Monday.
To most of us. the very thought OF
commercialism appearing to that ex-
tent in a great disaster is disgusting
and horrifying. For hours. the
friends of those on board the Titanic
were encouraged to believe that they
were safe; that the last element Of
danger had vanished; that We're the
Titanic so seriously injured as to be
in danger of sinking. other steam
ships had been called to her aid and
would rescue every last human being
on board.
Yet we learn that as rapidly as
worked all these agencies of scientific
and mechanical skill only third
of the human beings on board got
away from the doomed ship before
she plunged to the bottom in water
two miles deep.
The details of the disaster can he
imagined without awaiting the heart
breaking stories of the survivors. The
bare facts are sufficient, and most of
US will turn away from the contem-
plation of the awful. last hours upon
this magnificent steamship which
should have arrived. Tuesday. at her
pier in New York, at the end of her
maiden trip.
