NEWSPAPER INACCURACY - AND
WHY.

A well known eastern bank presi-
dent recently stated the following to
the present writer: II never yet have
seen a story printed in a newspaper
regarding any matter affecting my
bank that was absolutely correct in
all details" Next he proceeded to
assail newspapers as careless, mac
curate and untrustworthy.
The banker, however, when asked
whether or not he had eve refused
information when questioned by re-
porters, said: why certainly, I
have, and l do not allow any of our
officers to give out any statements
for publication. l am the only one
authorized to talk to the press, and
| won't talk"
There lay the crux of the whole
matter, the key to the explanation
of the bankers complaint. He did
not realize that his refusal to yield
legitimate information to the report
ers at legitimate times placed them
under the necessity Of obtaining en-
lightenment from other sources
probably less accurate than the pres
ident himself.
Information regarding banking in
stitutions under proper circumstances
is due the public. Banks are quasi
public institutions, and their vital re-
lation to the public gives the public
a right through the newspapers to
information that is not necessarily of
a confidential nature.
But the broader proposition to
which we are leading is this:
That persons that withhold legiti-
mate information from newspapers
and throw the reporters on their own
resources to obtain the answers to
their questions have no evident right
to criticise the papers for inaccur-
acies. Ill advised of improper Sc
~cretiveness on the part of individ-
uals is a sure producer of journal
istic errors. Frankness to honest
reporters will not be abused, and the
honesty of reporters as a class can.
not justly be a~ssailed.
The sooner that responsible per-
sons maintain open mindedness to-
ward representatives of responsible
newspapers the sooner will the mac
~curacies of the press be diminished.
Police officials frequently give re-
porters false tips" because, as they
assert, "if We give the real facts to
the papers the inspected criminals
will become alarmed and escape from
our jurisdiction"
Whether public policy is always
served by this ruse we are not pre-
pared to affirm. We do know that
newspaper publicity and newspaper
reporters have obtained the capture
of hundreds of criminals that the de-
~tectives could not locate. 1t is more
often jealousy than regard for pub
lie policy that causes the police to
misinform the newspaper men.
To sun up the entire subject, we
would say in automatic fashion:
Those who arouse suspicion
against the sincerity of the newspa-
pers may in turn attract suspicion

SILVER SERVICE FOR WARSHIp
IDAHO
(Statesman)

When the new battleship Idaho
puts to sea for its winters cruise
shortly after the birth of the new
year, it will have aboard in the Off.
GERS quarters a silver service that
will be surpassed by that of no other
ship in the American navy, accord
ing to Governor Hawley in his ad.
dress before the Boise Commercial
club yesterday at a luncheon given in
his honor after his return from the
trip of the Governors Special" to
the eastern states.
Takes Matter in Hand.
The governor said that when he
was taken aboard the Idaho in the
navy yard and learned that of all OF
the wal vessels flying the American
flag it was the only one whose Off
GER had not been presented with a
beautiful silver service, he was
ashamed Of himself and of the state
and Immediately ordered one that he
believes will do credit to- the state
and to the ship which represents it.
He took the responsibility on himself
he said, believing that the legislature
would make the requisite s%ppropria.
tion at the proper time. The service
will be ready by the first of the year
and will be on the ship before it gets
orders to leave the yards and start
off on the winter cruise.
Strikes Right Note.
Perhaps the funniest experience
that Idaho's governor had was dur
ing the visit to Detroit when the
party vas split up and each governor
taken to some church to deliver a
Thanksgiving sermon. He said that
he did not know what to say but
when he arose to speak in the Bap-
fist church, he said: Friends,
have been studying irrigation for 35
years but I believe that there is no
place where l could better complete
my education than in a Baptist
church" He got along all. right at
ter that, he said.
Tells of the Trip.
Governor Hawley hurriedly told Of
the trip and the experiences in each
city, mentioning particularly the Wis
1t to the White House, where Pres
ident Taft gave the most elaborate
banquet of his administration; the
Grfdiron club, and various feasts
given by the cities as they passed
through. He lauded former Cover
nor Brady, Reilly Atkinson and $. J.
Rich to the skies for their work and
claimed only a REFLECTED glory for
his part in the special.
Reilly Atkinson said that Idaho got
ten times the advertising that any
other state received because all Of

Atlanta, Aug. odds OF two to one
are Offered today that Mrs. Grace will
be acquitted in the Trial on charge Of
attempted murder Of her husband The
argument is starting and the case will
go to the jury late this afternoon.
Many predict that the jury will not
be long in reaching a vemict.
The attorney for the prosecution
professed the belief that Mrs. Grace's
refusal to be sworn is against her, but
others declared it a clever move to
riddle the eireumstantial evidence By
preventing cross examination.
Mrs Grace had to fight her way
through the crowd to enter the court
room today. She appeared wan and
haggard, the strain being plainly
shown on her.
Grace suffered a relapse and was
not taken to court today He was
sent to his mothers home at Newman.
IN his argument Mrs. Grace's attor-
ney made fiery charges of perseeu-
ton OF his client He said the states
theory Of the shooting was born in a
kennel, the mercenary mnrderer's
dwelling. Mrs. Grace's plight moved
several Of the jurors to tears.
Mrs. Grace broke down and went
for the first time during her attor
ney's argument in her behalf, when
he declared that the state sought to
make a case by covering up the truth
and that Mrs. Grace was sorely perse.
cuted. The attorney said the bring
ing Of Grace into the court room was
a theatrical attempt to force the wife
to break down, but it failed.
In her testimony yesterday, which
was not given under oath, Mrs. Grace
declared that Grace shot himself dur
ing seuffle with her for possession
Of a pistol with which he was trying te
shoot her She said that he had
beaten her frequently, but that ii
