CONCERNING THE SUCCESS
 OF LIBERTY LOANS

There are two classes of buSi- ness men who give their time and equipment unstintingly to the government without hope of fin. anciai return bankers and news papermen. During a Liberty Loan drive every bank and every newspaper turns its entire equip ment over to the service of the government without money and without price. The newspapers furnish the publicity without which no bond issues of such magnitude could be foated in such short time, and the banks furnish the skilled help and ma chinery for handling the millions of subscriptions, keeping book on deferred payments, carrying ac- counts, etc., and later issuing the bonds. The bankers and news papers deserve great credit, for no other line of industry gives its services absolutely free of charge. The Manufacturer.

OUR HOME CANDIDATE

Wrangell is represented on the Republican ticket hy Hon. P. L. Mccormack. who Is one of the can didates for the Legislature ttom the First Division. He k not on ly public spirited citizen, but a man of sterling character. As a candidate for reelection he stands equarelv on his record at he past session of the Legislature, which IS one of service and success. He got practically everything he went after. He Was instrumental in getting the Wolf Bounty Bill through the House which provides for the payment of SIS. for each wolf killed.
 He introduced tn, Fish Hatch cries Bill whlch was enacted into d law providing Tor Fish Hatcheries and tor the protection and care oi natural spawning grounds in the the territory ot Alaska, and the creation of a Board ot Fish Com. missioners, making an approprla- ton therefor aud declaring an emergency.

HoNeter, the Act provides tor two exceptions based on certain conditions where the population of the town in which the bank is located Is less than I.0oo, and also upon deposits.
 He prepared a memorial which the Legislature presented 10 the Secretary of War. the Secretary of the Interior, and the Delegate to Congress from N ska, petitonins for wireless 10 Craig. The radio station which is now in operation a, Craig Is the direct result of this . memorial. II Is only the people living on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island Who can fully ap- prrclate the great benefit derived from the wireless station at Craig IL Is more than a convenience. Il IS a factor which will play an lm- portant part in the development of that region. Furthermore, in the case oi calamity it might he the means ot saving hundreds ot lives :. ! MT. Mccormack has for year z taken deep interest in school mat terS. At the last session of the 1 Legislature he did some fine team work in getting a law enacted 10 establish a uniform school system in the Territory of Alaska, to cre- ate a erritorial Board of Educa- ton and Commissloner of Educa- ,ion. prescribing their power and duties, and tlxluH tbeir compensa- ton. It wiil be, -emeriaered that .manv measures 4ere advocated in connection with establishment of a uniform school system. Many ot the plans urged were such that te carry them out wtmld entail @Ie4, expense. When Mir. Mccormack returned from the Legislature more than year ago he remarked to the Sentinel reporter that the school bill had taken up consider able time, but he believed tn. law as 1t was finally enacted would mean efficiency at minimum eX- pense.
 There is great advantage in having a representative in the Legislature from this particular section, who knows the local L, eds. Mr. Mccormack is the cnlv candidate in the field from the Wraneeli district.
 Under present conditions when efficient help Is so difficult to se- cure, II means personal sacrifice fot a business mar like Mr. Me Cormack to leave his business long enough to attend a session ot the Legislature.

here, OF course. no breach OF faith.
Nothing Is more important to the
newspaper than that it's reporters
and editors keep the faith and rel.
spect condolences. Newspapermen
know great deal that they cannot
print, because thdy cannot violate
confidential communications. What
Is told to newspaperman in conf
dence Is just as sacred rs what a
client tells his lawyer. what a patient
tells his doctor and what a man tells
his spiritual confessor. There are
newspapermen in the United States
who enjoy the confidence of it's lead
ers from the President down. but
cannot write all that they know.
1t is important for a newspaper to
print the news first, but it is infinite
ly more important that a newspaper
maintain its honor and keep good
faith. What the community expects
of an honorable man, it also expects
from an honorable newspaper. The
newspaper that debases it's charac-
ter and sells its principle to servo the

Newspaper Honor.

In the days when the New York
Sun was in the meridian of its bril-
liancy. cub reporter was sent to in
terview a distinguished citizen and
get a statement from him on a mat
ter Of burning interest. He called to
see the man. accompanied by a repor-
ter from a rival paper. and the state
m.ent was given them both with the
understanding that it was not to be
printed until the man gave permis-
sion. The next morning there was
nothing in the cub reporters paper.
but in the rival publication the
statement appeared in full. The
managing editor called that cub to
his desk, intending to discharge
him. Didn't you get that state
ment?" asked the superior. "Yes,
SIR" said the cub. but Mr.. Blank
said 1t was not to be printed until
he released 1t and he hasn't released
it. told him I'd hold it until he gave
permission end I've kept my word"
The managing editor, one of the alb
lest newspapermen OF the country
instead OF firing the lad, smiled and
said to him. "Son. you're a great
man. That green youngster had
kept inviolate the honor Of his news
paper. He had not stopped to a con-
temptible breach of faith in order to
print important news which had not
been released by the man who gave
1t.
Newspapers, like men, have honor.
dishonorable newspaper is as con-
temptible as a dishonorable man.
There are sheets which will do any,
thing despicable in order to score
beat over newspapers. but, be it said
to the high credit of the Fourth Es-
tate these are few, notorious and
scorned. In the matter Of released
statements, decent newspapers are
guided merely by the unwritten law
Of honor. They will follow one test:
what an honorable man would do in
the circumstances. II they accept a
statement for publication with the
understanding that it will not be
released until the giver releases il
they will strictly carry out their con-
tract. If the statement is not released
10 one newspaper, but is released to
other newspapers, IL the newspaper
TO which 1t Is not released can get a
copy by fair and honorable means. It
Is justified in printing it unless the
statement is recalled. The author of
a communication intended for pub
iication has the indisputable right to
alter or recall it altogether. News
papers often receive communications
which they return or revise at the
authors request.
sometimes reporter goes to a
man for a story Ssnd is told the facts.
out informed that he must not print
them unless he can get them from
some other source. Such instructions
are always obeyed by men who are
lit to work on a decent newspaper.
often they get the facts through an
Independent Investigation. There is
