HERALD WILL BE JUDGE
OF NEWS HEREAFTER

Persons frequently request The
Herald to refrain from publishing
matters that directly concern them,
because newspaper publicity would
prove embarrassing. Almost without
exception, when the request is com
piled with, the story appears in the
Democrat the following morning.
The arrest of the couple for i'm
proper conduct early yesterday morn
ing is splendid illustration. The
Herald complied with the wishes of
those most deeply grieved over the
incident and made no reference to it.
This morning the story was told to
the public through the morning
paper
Stories of this sort usually find
their way to the newspaper office.
1t is not the policy of this paper to
publish the sins and faults of others,
as such publicity results in more
harm than good, and usually the mat
ter would be repressed without the
request of those most concerned. In
the future we are going to ask that
no such requests be made. as we ex
pect to be sole judge Of what is best
to be given the public through the
columns of The Herald.
The Herald is family newspaper
and no one need fear of having news
appear that parents would not be
willing to have read in the home.

May, of Boston, who used to be a
great connoisseur of Oriental rugs
when she lived in San Francisco, to-

When Mrs. May went back to Boston

painting of the impressionistic va

After painting Keeping the Light
Mrs. May presented it to the Califor-
mia State Library. Assistant librar-

a warm argument followed as to
which way it went up. They couldn't
tell the top from the bottom Dur.
ing the heat of the discussion some
one discovered piece of paper past
ed to the back, which read
"The painting represents light
house on the New Jersey coast with
the sea, and wreck in the distance
Another argument followed then as
to which was the lighthouse and
which was the wreck. The skyline
was said to be the sealine, by some
and others declared it was vice versa.
"Aw, what's the matter?" said 9TH
ers. "1ts impressionistic; hang it up
any old way" So they began to hang
it up and found there was no room
for it. "And that" said one of the
assistants" was about as good an ex-
cuse as any for not hanging it al

KOM0RS TO JEANETTE

Joe jeanette, the negro heavyweight
of Union Hill, weighing 1879 pounds,
had somewhat the better of :. ten-rounc
boxing contest with one Battling Jim
johnson at the Stadium Athletic Club
last night. The margin OF victory was
not so deep as well nor as wide as 4

Johnson has missed his calling. He
aspires toward heavyweight honors.
He should be on the stagc. He vas
wondrously funny. carrying his 2301s
pounds of fat and bone his head is Of
fair size. His attitude of attack was
the last word in comedy. while his
fighting face might have done credit to
the best efforts o. manufacturer OF
Japanese war masks.
At intervals, however, Johnson caused
trouble. His prodigous strength en-
abled him to stand up and take every
thing that came his way and still be
dangerous. And when he landed Jean
cite recoiled from the impact. II was
all. perhaps, that Battling Jim lacked
sense Of direction as well as skill in
placing his leads.
IN two rounds jeanette came by the
cudgels-the fourth and fifth, to be
specific. In those two periods his giant
foeman rushed him about the arena,
landing hard with both hands. II
seemed as if Joe would be beaten, but
right then Johnson saw 1T TO rest on
his laurels, and, given the respite,
jeanette recovered and easily held
forth until the end.

bought shares in it were not the sort
who really needed cooperation, and
added that the women were not so
much interested in Saving money as
they were in getting things quickly and
conveniently.

vantages Of the institution"
