HONOR IN NEWSPAPER GAME

Some time ago the editor Of a Den.
yer newspaper was fined $3.50 for
contempt of court for declining when
asked to reveal to grand jury the
name of persons who had given him
information relative to matter in
vestigated by the grand jury and
which information formed the basis
for the newspaper stories that origin
ally started the inquiry.
In thus refusing to divulge the
name of his informant the editor sim
ply regarded the first ethics and iron.
clad rule of the newspaper game, and
that is to keep strictly confidential
such things as are impaired in con
fidence. 1t is commendable that
among newspaper men this rule Is
firmly regarded and seldom violated

harm. It is generally acknowledged
everywhere in business circles and by
all persons with, experience that a
newspaper man is to be trusted with
a secret and that once having pledged
his word he will keep it, or course,
there are cases where newspaper
man has violated his promise, but
this stands as a demerit mark against
his reputation which is always con-
sidered when he seeks employment
elsewhere.
How many times in the course OF a
year does a newspaper man pledge
his word not to publish a certain
piece of news. This agreement is
invariably kept. II news is published
and trouble results the rule Of 81

porter will not reveal the source OF
his information to anybody.

many other faults and failings, news

the population there has been
10 typical American. There
were Yankees, southerners,
Hoosiers, and many other pro-
vincial types, all Americans,
but having few traits in COM
mon.
The recent war changed that
aspect, however, and search for
the real American was taken
up. Not so much a physical
characteristic as a philosophy
was set upon to mark the typi-
cal American. The creed of
Theodore Roosevelt seemed to
meet all the requirements. The
Roosevelt creed, a good one for
any American, is short but
forceful. 1t is as follows:
believe in honesty, SINGER
ity and the square ueal; IN
making up ones mind what to
do-and doing it.
l believe in fearing God
and taking ones own part.
believe in hitting the line
hard when you are right.
1 believe in speaking softly
and carrying big stick.
believe in hard work and
honest sport.
l believe in a sane mind in
sane body.
| believe we have room for
but one soul loyalty, and that is
loyalty to the American people.

MR.. WILSON'S ILLNESS.

with genuine pleasure through
out the country both by his ad-
mirers and his opponents.
There is hardly a person in the
land who is not glad to hear
that Mr.. Wilson will be able to
resume his duties in part, at
least, within a few weeks.
The seriousness of the presi-
dents illness is difficult to as
certain. That he is recovering
is certain. He has been a very
sick man, to all appearances,
but the road to health is appar-
emily op2r again. Recovery is
not likely to be speedy because
of Mr.. Wilson's advancing
years.
Devotion to a cause, even to
the point of enangering his life
has won for Mr.. Wilson the ad.
miration of the nation. Thai
dedication to the cause OF the
league of nations has placed
him in the light of near
martyr and those who, dun:

ACCIDENT PREVENTION.

- ULLETINS educating auto
fDa owners to the dangers at
grade crossings will be
sent to every owner in Oregon
shortly by the state public SER
vice commission. These bulle-
tins are the right arm of the
move for safety being made by
the commission. 1t is the inten-
ton of the public service body
that they be given thorough
notice and that drivers of We
hicles will be governed accord
ingly.
The sample bulletin illus
trates the various signs which
are in use at grade crossings,
together with directions to be
followed when any of these is
encountered. Warning signs
are merely notices of grade
crossings, the bulletin says.
Your safety and frequently
that of your friends or family,
is dependent upon your vigil
ance, prudence and ability to
drive, it goes on.
The commission points out
that the speed of trains is de-
eeptiye and that a race for the
crossing may result fatally.
When it is remembered that in
Oregon alone 125 vehicles were
in collision with trains during
the first eight months of 1919,
resulting in s fatalities and SO
injuries, the word of warning
from the commission should be
well needed.

KEEP U. S. BUREAU
Topeka to Stand Behind the
Employment Service. q.
At Least Three Offices Are to
Be Kept in Kansas.

Despite the cut in the United States
employment service made because
congress failed to provide funds for
the continuance of the present serv-
ice. the bureau in Kansas expects to
continue the maintenance of at least
three of the local offices. This state
ment was made at the Chamber of
Commerce this noon by j. Will KEEL
ley in answer to a direct question as
to what the department in the state
was to do.
Kelley said that the statement is I'M
official, but he pointed to the fact
that every effort is being made to in
duce various chambers of commerce in
the state to help support the service
until the next congress can meet.
Wichita, Kansas City and Topeka
are practically sure of continuance OF
the local offices of the employment
bureau and Hutchinson has a fail
chance of keeping her office. The
Wichita and the Kansas City cham
bers have both offered to help the
service along by hiring one clerk. To
| peka has always benefited thru the
state. Kansas provides one clerk in
the local office, and has done SO fol-
! years. 1t is expected that some way
/ may be found whereby the state will

the departments working in the re.
