NewspaperlEthics.

Every once in a while someone brings
in printing with request that it be
kept q secret. Perhaps little infor-
nation concerning the rules of news
{ paper offices and printing plants will
not be out of place. One of the first
things an apprentice is taught is abso-
lutte secrecy concerning any thing that
Is done in the office. He must not give
out information as to what kind OF
printing is being done nor give any
notice of what is to appear in the pa
per. Another rule is that the copy
hook is sacred that is. outsiders must
not read its contents, neither should
they read the copy on the case before
the. compositor, This last is consider
ed by the average. printer as ill bred
as the reading of private correspond
ence. Ali proof sheets and in fact the
paper itself is considered private office
property until it is delivered to the
public. Elk.

FL regret to see insyour issue of the

for his vote against the Hobson amend
ment relative to prohibition. / regret
it because l don't think the Chronicle
or any other paper in this district has a
right to criticise unjustly and unfairly
the vote of Mr. Aswell on this amend
ment, thereby leading many of his cor
s5ituents to believe that he is Oppose d
to prohibition and in favor Of the liquor
traffic. On the coit AIRY, l. is we'll
known fact throughout this distr c.,
and in fact throughout the State, that
Mr.. Aswell is in favor of temperance,
and against the sale If liquor, Tor he
made it plain to all imrart'a minds
where he stood on this issue during his
CANVASS FIR governor.
J.B. Aswell is in favor of prohibs-
tim not in name but in fact. You say
prohibition will be an issue in the next
campaign. 1t may be and most prob
ably will be an issue, but il must win
on its merits and not by unjust criti-
eism Of those who earnestly wish it
success, but differ as to the methods
that will prove most effective.
