PIPE LINE TO ZINC
PLANT IS COMPLETED

The pipe line for conveying one
cubic foot OF unfiltered water from
the waterworks conduit. near the city
reservoirs. to the plant of the Empire
Zinc company has been completed
and water was turned into IL at noon
today. The water ran thru the pipe
by force OF gravitation and was de-
livered at the plant in the expected
quantity. The contract for the install
lation of the pipe line was awarded to
a Pueblo company and was com
pleted in remarkably short time.
The laying of this pipe line assures
a permanent and adequate supply OF
water for the use OF the zinc plant al
all seasons of the year and makes
t possible for the company to en-
large its establishment at any time IL
lesires to do so. Heretofore the com
pany has been dependent on springs
in the Greenhorn mountains for the
water il needed. but the amount avail
lble there was insufficient during the
summer months. The new source of
supply will be more than ample to
meet all demands upon it. The sue

company. A high pressure test of

meet. During the past few years
some of our closest business and
personal friends have had matters in
court, and have had reasons to urge
or expect us to leave news of public
concern out of the paper. This we
have uniformly declined TO do. And
we are happy to know that in no in
stance have any of our friends re-
sentedl this course after they have
4 had time TO look the matter squarely
in the face.
We could cite a dozen cases
1 of prominent names, but what's the
use? II you have read The RECORD
even for few years you will recan
| that the reports of the court proceed
ings have been quite fully given in
! The Record, that regardless of who
were Interested the news has been
I given freely and that no case of i'm
portance has ever been hidden or
suppressed.
What other decent course could
decent newspaper pursue?
II you. for instance. started out to
make up list of immunes for your
local paper, who would you include2
N ould you include all the rich and
powerful or just those you profited by
or feared? Would you exclude only
the poor, the influential and the un-
fortunate?
In any case, after you got thru and
hsd your beyy of immunes fixed up,
and tried TO handle the news SO as
not to reflect on any of your chosen
few, wouldn't you have an unfair,
an unreliable, an unsafe and a miser-
able excuse of a newspaper? And
what influence and what respect do
you suppose such a newspaper would
have in any community?
There is only one course for a res
pectable newspaper TO follow and
that is to publish the News. news
that is of public concern. fairly and
impartially. without fear and without
hope of favor, let II refer TO or reflect
upon whom il may.

THE ETHICS OF
HANDLING NEWS

The question of suppressing the
news comes up in every newspaper
office now and then. II is not uncom-
mon for the people directly interest
ed to desire that mention of matters
in the courts and other cases of an
unpleasant nature be kept out of the
papers.
This question is met with so often
that definite policy finally grows
up in every newspaper office.
The character OF the newspaper is
known by its policy of handling the
news.
One of three distinct courses may
be followed:
First-To publish everything that
is rumored. Play up the scandals
and enlarge upon alleged crimes
Most of the big cities have one or
more newspapers in this class.
Second-To handle the news in the
interest of the newspapers own
friends. News can be tampered with.
and important items may be suppress
ed. This policy is dominated by Fear
or hope of Favor. II long pursued it
leads to the building up of a list of
immunes. and some times 10 a black
list. 1t is vicious policy and en-
courages crookedness. 1t is worse
than the free lance and such a news
paper is both unfair and unreliable.
Fortunately we know few newspapers
in this modern day which work on
this policy.
Third-To minimize the private
scandals and overlook the spicy
rumors but to publish the News. news
that is news without fear OF hope OF
favor regardless of who IL refers to.
This is the policy adopted by every
conservative. reliable and reputable
newspaper in the country.
This is the policy The Daily Record
has worked on for many years-since
its FIRST issue in fact
Reporters hear many things. Much
because OF its semi-private charac-
ter is overlooked. Shady rumors.
little scandals, troubles { b a I
are talked about but do not come to
public notice thru court proceedings
or open violence are pretty generally
passed by.
But when matters gel into the
courts. when suits are brought and
arrests are made. when charges OF
crimes OF misdemeanors are filed for
trial then no reputable newspaper
feels that such news can possibly be
suppressed. However much the editor
OF such a newspaper might like to
shield a friend at times by hiding the
facts. he Is honor bound to a definite
policy ana professional ethics not to
40 30. He would as willingly tam
per with the market reports in the
interest OF somebody's PROFITS. or al
ter the election returns, as to sup
press or alter the news that is made
public thru the officers of the law or
by the actions OF the courts.
One might just as properly expect
the District Judge To be biased in
favor of friend at the bar as to ex-
pect reputable newspaper on ac-
count OF favor or friendship. to tam
per with the news or hide facts made
known thru the courts.
To adhere strictly to a high prin-
riple is no more pleasant for news
paper man. some times. than il Is for
he District Judge. for cases where
favors are expected by ones friends
come up occasionally In every news
paper office.
The Record office has had its full
share of this sort of problems to
