The Journal is being criticised be-
cause 1t published the facts of hat
recent unsavory Cherokee escapade.
The Journal has not the least DOUBT
that it would have been more severely
criticised had it neglected TO give pub
licity TO that escapai.. The newspaper
Is under constant fire of criticism.
Ii is criticised for what it does, as well
as for what :. fails 20 10. The news
paper has learned 20 expect and to be
prepared for criticism. II has learned
10 be neither thick-sklnned nor thin
skinned. To certain degree. as crit
icism is just and merited, It Is guided
by II. On the other hand. Il can not
permit itself to shape It's course wholly
with view to escaping criticism. It
could not do so and retain any re-
spect for itself II could not do 80 and
command the respect OF the public.
People have slight liking for a news
paper without purpose, spineless. The
mcst Of us do not mind what the news
paper does so long as It does not tread
on our toes or on the toes OF our
friends: so long as IL does not go con-
trary to our pet notions. The mat OF
us have great admiration for the cour-
age of the newspaper when 1t throws
spotlight on the wrongdo!ng and the
wickedness OF the other fellow. 1t Is
different matter when the spotlight

IT can not be done. It never has been
done and never Will be done. No news
paper which undertakes TO present The
news honestly, with desire to discharge
the duty II owes the public. can nope
TO avoid giving offense TO someone. on
occasion. The best II can do - to
avoid giving ofense needlessiy. The
newspaper is not honestly or fairly a
subject OF criticism when II exposes
wickedne.s or vice. The greatest de-
terrent to EVIL Is the fear Of discovery.
