1t was well that Representative
Smith Of Patten should resent the i'm
putation upon the official integrity of
the members of the Supreme Bench,
cast upon 1t by the representative
from Augusta, Mr. Newbert, yester-
day. The people of the State are will
ing to make allowances for foolish
things said under excitement by men
immersed in business that is both
pressing and irritating But for Mr..
Newbert, of all the men in the state,
to impeach the reputation of the
Judges of the courts of Maine will not
soon be overlooked Maine is and has
the right to be proud of it's judiciary
only few days ago every newspaper
in the State, rejecting the Judgment
OF the people, had paid tributes to the
present. past and future membership
OF this great court. Not Il man upon
the Bench in Maine, in any court, but
stands today above reproach. either
as regards his private life or his Of
iicial integrity. To assume that these
judges are any part of any scheme of
notification being INDUCED by any
administrative officers is "a gross in
suit to them personally, and an insult

know them. and who trust them. far

rests. Not emily is the correctness OF
every news item dependent upon his
accuracy and intelligence, hnt every
editorial comment. every policy which
his ,japer adopts and every fight i
makes is based upon the news as the
man on the outside reports it. If he
reports it incorrectly or inadequateiy'
his paper fails in its function of giving
10 the world the news of the day, the
editorials are vauleiess ~ misleading
because not based upon facts, and a
journalistic policy or stand may be
utterly wrong or unjust
These results follow in the steps o.
the reporter who is inefficient only.
The situation would be much
worse, were the reporter to allow
friendship or prejudice to color ms
news. 1t may often be difficult for
even tie thoroughly honest reporter To
guard absolutely against this, but II he
does not guard against it, then either
injustice or undeserved communication
is almost sure to result to some indl-
vldual or cause.
Hele, then, is class OF men upon

upon the proper and honest eXef-
else of when depends not only the NE
Of the paper, but also the Just deserts
Of men and their standing before the
world. And it is IA responsibility which
those who undertake it assume quietly
and with no hope of public credit fof
their work. because their personality
is merged into that OF the paper they
serve.
The reporters task must be dis
charged with little chance for review
OF correction. 1t must be done right
tic first time. He must see correctly
the issue of a lawsuit through the
ieehnicalt.es of the trial. He must

quires; the versatility which must be
shown IN reporting events ranging from
a small personal item to some episode
OF Worldwide Importance, the insight
which is needed to go straight To the
heart of whatever is happening and
