ly to newspaper men, but to men in
public life who are acquainted with the
circumstances surrounding news gath

Men whose integrity Is above re-
proach. and who would resent deeply
any questioning of their truthfulness,
see no wrong whatsoever III mislead-
ing a newspaper reporter or even In
deliberately lying to him. The fault Is
more general among men only occas-
ionally In the limelight Of publicity
than with those who frequently deal
with newspapers. Most men in public
life make a particular point OF treating
reputable newspaper men with fairness
and confidence. But the business man.
or the amateur in politics, frequently
puts his ordinary standard OF honor in
the waste basket when tho reporter
enters the office.
companion source OF trouble to
newspapers Is the willingness OF men
OF the same type to deny published
statements which they have made, but
have later reconsidered on second
! thought. This is doubly wrong. since
it may mean the loss Of q reporters
