Sioux County pioneer. (Fort Yates, Sioux County, N.D.) 1914-1929, 1917-03-15

The Pioneer has no desire to en-
gage in controversies with editors Of
two. spot newspapers, but the Lin
ton Record man takes it upon HIM
self in his last issue to slur the
editor of the Pioneer in IL wholly
uncalled for manner. Recently the
Pioneer stated in commenting upon
the outcome of the libel suits, one
in which the Record man was plain
tiff, and the other defendant, that
chronic reforners are tiresome, es-
pecial]y il they happen to have
newspaper in which to air their
hobbies. And the more we read of
the airy persiAage and childish pa
laver printed in the Emmons County
Record. the more we are convinced
that it is the truth. 4 jury of
Emmons county citizens we've also
of the same opinion! For twenty
years the editor of the Pioneer has
been engaged in the newspaper Dus-
mess, from Minnesota to Oregon
and bach, again, and never yet has
he been sued for libel, nor has he
ever rctractrd, or been called upon
to retract any article appearing in
any newspaper under his ownership
or management, Notwithstanding
Strectcr'S statement. The editor OF
the Pioneer. however, is possess d
of that spirit Of fairness whic, calls
for correction of any wrongful
statement in its columns, when COM
WINGED that mistake has been
made, and Strcetcr would probably
get along better ii he would follow
the same policy. The purpose OF
| this article is not to advise cubs Of
Streeter's ilk who happen to be pos
sessed Of a printing plant and pub
fish an apology for newspaper. A
few more vcrdicts like that handed
him at the recent term OF district
court, in his county, will furnish
him experience which may take the
place of lack of Judgment. Fools
only are opposed to honest criticism.
