PLAGIARISM

It is just as reprehensbIe for one newspaper to
reprint as its own an editorial from another news
paper as it is for one man to appropriate 10 his
own use the purse of another The one is called
plagiarism the other larceny BY whatever name
YOU call them they are lust plain thefts. And it
does not lessen the ofcnse that the offender gives
il new title and changes few unimportant
phrases. if he fails to distinguish it a reprint
by giving the name Of the original paper by the
use ofthe appropriate symbols, he is guilty Of a ser
ous otfense in journalism.
Reading our exchanges recently our attention was
attracted to two editorials much alike two
postage stamps Of the same denomination. One
entitled cone Two! Three! =" appeared in the
New Yorl News of Sept. D. 1918; the other entitled
Vale Vardaman, appeared in the Washington
Bee under date Of September IA, 1918. With this
difference in itles-and both Of these titles appear
IN large capitals in the body Of the editorials-and
few minor differences in phrases such as had
done him no wrong" and had never did him
single injury" the editorials are one and the
The camouhage only serves to strengthen a suspi-
con that the failure to give credit over
sight.
Now we would be inclined to overlook this lapse
serious it iswere it not for the fact that there
is entirely too much OF that sort of thing nowadays
We often slip from exchange sometimes just
thought and again, whole editorial. But we
never do so without giving proper credit. Some
time ago we ran editorial because thought it
good, giving credit to paper when we later
given good reason to know that credit was
due elsewhere. We had merely given as the author
the paper from which clipped it.
November s, 1917, we ran an editoral-our own
entitled The Stool Pigeon" Later it
in four successive issues of one paper each time
being credited to the Western Messenger. Perhaps
the Messenger had run it at some time without Civ
ing credit and thus misled the other paper We do
not know.
There is nothing diSgracefu in dipping from
contemporary We do with no pangs of shame
And when we in turn are clipped take it as
distinct honor. That is as it should be the pur
pose of the exchange But when we do, we ought
TO be big enough to give the credit where due. We
should never. under amy circumstm send forth
anoher's thoughts our own. Sooner NJ later the
practice will discredt US all.

OUR REPUBLICANISM

Inasmueh opposed the present nominee of
the Republican Party, for Governor at the recent
primaries, we have been asked what ticket we in
tend to support in the coming election November
5. In reply, let it be understood that we are Re
publican and that too, on principle we intend to
support Republican nominees until we are convinced
that the other existing parties, or some new party
stand for better principles. With the record back
OF it and its present policies we could not support
the Democratic party. AloehIenpah and his fellow
candidates may be excellent gentlemen. but they
are affiliated with that party which has consistent
~ opposed the progress of our people and to vote
for them is to give aid and comfort to our enemies.
In purely local city or county affairs it might be
different. but to have Wisconsin 90 Democratic is
to give ENCOURAGEMENT and endorsement of the poll
cies Of lIoke Smith, Tillman, Vardaman Bcase ct
oil. No, we shall support the Republican ticket We
believe in the rule of the majority and shall abide
the primary result. That was little family af-

They're marching, marching marching
Hear you the tramping feet
On cool Sequesered roadside
And city 5 teeming street?
Freedoms nsistent drum beat
Has swung their souls in line,
And they are marching forward,
Heeding her call divine.
Brave hearts and clean, hard bodies
Full measure of man power
They bring to help give battle
To win her triumph hour,

Yet hearts as true as steel,
Filling your fighting places
