WHAT is THE TRUTH?

The following taken from the Seattle
Sunday Times is to the point;
"Why is it impossible for a newspa-
per to tell the truth; how do the best
newspapers approximate the TRUTH"
Please keep in mind at the very be-
ginning of this little discussion that the
above question is quoted literally from
an examination paper entitled ''EditO-
rial Problem and Policies" presented
at the end of the first semester to the
class in journalism of the University of
Kansas.
Further, beg to call your attention
to the fact that Bulletin No. Q of the
Department of Journalism of the Uni
versity of Washington is entitled "Can
a Newspaper Print the Truth" and
was written and delivered before the
department Of journalism by Herbert
Hunt, editor of The Tacoma News
This is not a left.handed confession
that all newspaper men are liars It
isn't even an admission that a percent
age Of newspaper men are liars. I'm
der the broad proposition that a state
ment is either a truth of an untruth,
there are many variations of which ab-
solute falsifying is but one. What
seems the truth to one man is slightly
contradicted by another who saw the
same occurrence What seems to be the
truth after hurried investigation is
found to be lacking in essential details
of proof after a thorough investigation
The framing Of the above question,
which admits frankly that newspapers
ldo not all the time print the TRUTH is
based on their inability to get the truth
and not on any desire to falsify.
As Mr. Hunt says in his address;
The printing of the truth presup-
poses frank witness of perfect iudg-
ment; unerring reporters; omniscient
Il
guardsmen between reporters pencil
and press room; but first of all it pre-
supposes truth as a fixity; il presup-
poses the absence Of imploring friend
ships and acquaintances; it presupposes
no hints, requests and suggestions from
advertisers; or self seekers; it presup-
poses perfect diction, with no word
meaning more or less than it should
mean; it presupposes a freedom Of mind
and soul that men may dream of but
as yet have not attained.
But we may approximate the truth.
So small a thing as the misspelling Of
a name, the omission Of prized initial,
may stamp the editor a villain in the
eye Of his community. A superlative
may prove his undoing
Take a few every day instances Of
statements in daily newspapers which
are absolutely true insofar as the abil-
ity Of the reporters and editors to get
at the truth, and vet which are pro
nounced by the readers while the paper
is yet hot from the press as being IN
true

ALIENIsTs AND WITNESS FEES.

IN PORTLAND recently, in the tri-
al of Jack Roberts, who set up the
defense of insanity, an alienist was
called in as a witness. The law
provides that he should have $50
as a fee in such cases. In addition to
this, however, the alienist put in a bill
to the country for $50 for his first
days attendance, and 500 for each
subsequent day he attended court, his
total bill being 5000. The county court
very properly cut his bill to $50, but
it did not let the knife go deep enough.
After the special fee of $50, allowed by
the law, he should have been allowed
his little So a day just like any other
citizen. A man is supposed TO appear
as a witness in the interests of Justice,
and as an incident of his duty to the
community. The fee provided by law
for witnesses, is not in the shape of
reward but is paid, along with mileage
to cover the actual expense of attend,
ing courts, and to make it possible for
every man to obey the subpoenas serv-
ed on him, no matter how poor he is.
Besides, the sum of $50 is a big price
TO pay for the opinion of the average
alienist, in fact, if most of them told
all they actually know on the subject,
and were handed $50 as payment, the
state or county would be entitled to
$49.50 change, The history of the cele.
brated cases, such as Thaw s, shows
that alienists are either readily pur.
chasable or really do not know any.
thing Of the subject, for they take dia.
metrically opposite positions. OF course
there are cases when the most ignorant
layman would recognize the insanity Of
the individual. But in cases where
a man is sane, only claiming insanity
on some occasion wherein he committed
crime, their opinions are utterly
worthless. Personally we would as
soon accept their statement as to the
number of seeds pumpkin contained
when their information was derived
from feeling the bumps and examining
the corrugations thereof, as to rely up
on their judgment as to man S sanity
or insanity from an examination of hi,
think tank. As to whether his acts in
dicate insanity or not, the average citi
zen is as capable of Judging as to thai
as the most learned alienist
Laying all this aside, there is an
other feature that should not be permit
ted to gain recognition, and that il
that a witness fee should be measured
by his learning, wealth or occupation,
For instance, il one was to figure OF
old John D. Rocky's presence as a wit
ness, il this principle is permitted t,
prevail, At would make the litigant IL
need Of his services, dig up a hundre,
dollars a minute or something Of tina
kind, And carried to its legitimate re
suits every witness would be paid ac
cording to his earning capacity at hi
regular ayocation, Two big plunks
day to cover actual expenses is all an,
witness should have. His services as
citizen, as an integral part Of the gov
crnment belong to the people, and he /
indeed poor citizen and unworthy o
