The other day all exc ted individ.
ual rushed into newspaper office
with a choice bit of scandal burning
his tongue it made no difference to
this person that the scandal affected
the daughter of MS neighbor that
the mother of the girl was seriously
ill that the brother was just enter
ing what promised TO be IA successful
professional career. The scandal was
rich in flavor, and he wanted to see
it i'll the paper. He told the editor
about it. with every evidence of the
keen relish of the scandal cOnnOis-
seur, but impressed upon the news
paper man that the source Of his
information must be kept inviolably
secret. When the paper came out,
the man returned to demand Why
the story hadn't been printed Short,
sharp words followed, and the
visitor called the editor a coward
and left, vowing that man who
was afraid to print the news had
no right to be an editor. To our
mind, that editor was a brave man.
The informer who demanded that
his name be kept secret. was the
coward. The editor ran a paper in a
small town. So closely related were
the lives Of the inhabitants, that the
editor knew every detail of the
story before his visitor called on
him. But he could see no profit for
himself nor elory for his paper in
printing an item that would
bring sorrow to the gray hairs of
a father, disgrace to brother and
probably serious consequences to a
sick mother. If the news appetites
OF his readers were so vOracious, he
thought. as to demand this costly
food. he would refuse to pay the
price. The editor was right. Many
things he has to print which he
would rather leave unsaid, but the
scandal which has only its spice
to recommend it should have no
place in the columns Of self
respecting paper. We would rather
build than tear down. We would
rather print the things that help
and encourage and uplift than to
hold up the mistakes of some un-
fortunate to the scorn and contempt
of his neighbors. Decency is not
lack of courage. If it were we would
rather be decent than COURAGEOUS.

SOAP FOR BABY.s TENDER SKIN

The regular use of resinol soap is
usually enough to prevent those dis

second. because it contains the resinol

ito sec how near they could go to the
borders of indecency, but always have
they depended upon what was clean
and Wholesome in their efforts to get
