WHAT THE PRESS is SAYING
SOME CURRENT COMMENT ON TIMELY TOPICS

! those who do not agree with its
opinions or to candidates it opposes.
The Herald long ago foreswore
factionalism which was ruling 50
many of the leading newspapers of
the state and bringing reproach On
Georgia journalism as a whole. We
have told the truth in our own news
reports of political events in the
state, and have consistently excluded
from our news columns the preju-
diced reports, many Of them SLAM
derous, which have been widely print
ed in the partisan organs of candi-
dates and factions. The advertise
ments of politicians have appeared
as advertising matter and been paid
for at space rates, but The Heralds
news has not been colored.
And in its editorial policy The
Herald has endeavored to be fair to
those who have not agreed with it.
We have pres nted our own views as
vigorously as we were able, but have
not substituted abuse for reason and
argument. In the present heated
senatorial campaign The Herald has
had its motives questioned and even
/ its integrity impugned by some who
sought space in our columns for the
airing of their views. All such have
found the door open and unfriendly
criticisms have been given the same
publicity as have our own opinions.
We have relied on argument instead
of abuse, and have endeavored to be
fair to those who were manifestly
unfair to us.
These things are not said in any
spirit of self-praise which is cheaper
even than the hollowest flattery, but
because we agree with the Moultrie
Observer that it is high time the self
respecting newspapers of the state
were taking a definite stand for a
cleaner and fairer political Journal
ism. The Herald is no less DESTROYS
of the respect of thoes who do not
agree with it than it. is of the conf
dence and appreciation of those who
do and while we shall always vigor-
ously support in our editorial columns
the men and issues commencing
themselves to US, we shall be fair to
all for one and only one reason
because that is clearly the duty of a
newspaper with a serious regard for
its mission in life.

Noted international Expert.

IF it is true that Great Britain in
tends to give independence to
Egypt, the white mans burden will
have been carried to another sue
cess. AS America freed Cuba es.
tablished a stable government in the
island and then let the Cubans work
out their own destiny, so is Great
Britain doing in Egypt.
Egypt won self-determination from
Turkey under Mehemet Ali, who was
chosen leader of the Egyptian peo-
pie in 1905 and who died in f849
with his task accomplished. The con-
struction of the Suez canal in 1859
by de Lesseps for a private uomca :.
was the turning point of Egypt's rela
tions with Europe.
In 1875, Khedive Ismall ruled at
Cairo. He was typical Oriental
despot, extravagant and warlike. He
imposed enormous taxes on the peo-
pie. He sent armies to the Sudan
and Abyssinia on conquering mis-
sions. He governed without thought
of his country's revenues. His treas
Jury finally became empty, and he
offered his Suez canal shares for
sale.
England Buys Canal.
Disraeli,s then premier of Great
Britain. heard of the offer and paid
S20,000,000 for the stock. The Brit
ish government, thereafter, became
the majority shareholder in the canal
company. Thus, British interest in
Egypt was made similar in Importance
to Americas present interest in the
Republic of Panama.
Thenceforth, Egyptian reforms
were rapidly effected. Domestic
peace was restored. The khedive's
absolutist government was replaced

FOR A CLEANER JOURNALISM
SOME CURRENT G
ALBANY Herald)

NAlUdHy heIdlut
IN an editorial which is reproduced
on this page Quoting a recent
Times Recorder editOriaD the Moul-
trie Observer discusses a matter in
which. we feel sure, thousands of
Georgians have a deep interest.
If we are not badly mistaken,
there is wide and growing disgust
with some of the political methods
and practices which afflict the state.
We say "afflict" because that is the
word which seems best to describe
the condition our Moultrie contem-
porary discusses.
Political issues should be passed
upon as deliberately as are business
questions. Candidates should be
compared as dispassionately as a man
compares the apparent value of a
tract of land he thinks of buying
with the price he is asked to pay
for it. Selecting a man for an i'm
portant office is, as a matter of fact,
business of the greatest Importance,
and the man who seeks to decide
wisely will refuse to be ruled by
anything that appeals to passion or
prejudice.
The public looks to the newspa-
pers for an impartial report of what
goes on in the world A newspaper
therefore has no more right to color
the news it prints than a man has to
color the testimony he gives when on
the witness stand in a court room
For that is really what a newspaper
ia witness before the people of
what the world is doing, what men
are saying, what the political issues
ARE, what rival parties and candi-
dates stand for, what progress is be-
ing made and what the whole trend
of the times appears to be.
Newspapers are entitled to THEN
opinions just as individuals. But no
newspaper can be honest with itself
and its readers when it distorts the
news it prints in the interest of
The candidate it supports or the is
sues it favors.
And just as surely as man who
takes liberties with the truth loses
the confidence of his acquaintance
50 does a newspaper forfeit the res
pect and confidence of the public il
serves when it refuses to be fair tc
