The other day an excited individ-
vidual rushed into newspaper office
with choice bit of scandal burning
his tongue. II made no difference ia
this person that the scandal affected
the daughter Of his neighbor-thai
the mother Of the girl was serious
~ ill-that the brother was just en-
tering what promised to be a success
full professional career. The scandal
was rich in flavor, and he wanted to
see it in the paper. He told the edit
or about it, with every relish of a
scandal connoisseur, but impressed
upon the newspaper man that the
source of his information must be
kept inviolably secret. When the
paper came out, the man returned 10
demand why the story hadn't been
printed. Short, sharp words follow
ed, and the visitor called the editor II
coward and left, vowing that n man
who was afraid to print news had
no right to be an editor. To our
mind, that editor was brave man.
The informer demanded that his name
be- kept secret was the coward. The
editor ran a paper in II small town.
So closely related were the lives of
the inhabitants, that the well vcrsed
editor knew every detail of the story
before his visitor reached him. But
he could see no profit for himself nor
glory for his paper in printing an item
that would bring sorrow to the gray
hairs of father, disgrace To II broth
or and probably most serious consc'
1uences to u sick mother. Ii the
news appetites of his readers were 50
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 he would
rather leave unsaid, but the scandal
which has only its "spice" to recon-
mend it should have no place in the
columns of n sclf-respecting paper.
We would rather build than to tear
down. We would rather print things
that help and encourage than to hold
np the mistakes of some unfortunate

neigbbors. Decency is not lack of
