Senator Harding is
for Square Deal

WASHINGTON. July 24.-Hard-
ing's instructions to the writers on his
paper are quoted by the Republican
Publicity Association. through its
president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr-.
as evidence of the clean and sane
thinking which have characterized the
Republican candidate in private life:
Harding has not only been life
long publisher, but one creditable to
the profession. His idea of newspaper
ethics is set forth in a circular of in
structions given to every. reporter en-
ployed on the paper. One of the sig
nificant instructions contained in the
circular is the following:
There is good in everybody. Bring
out the good in everybody. and never
needlessly hurt the feelings of any
body
NO yellow journalism in that. And
be it said to the credit of the people
of Marion. they gave cordial support
to a paper with such an ideal. In
doubtedly, if Mr. Harding had been
willing to degrade his paper to seDsa-
tionalism, he could have sold a few
additional copies of his paper. He
could have gradually cultivated
taste for sensationalism in his COM
munity. BY hurting the feelings of a
few unfortunate or misguided people.
he could have furnished spicy reading
for the buyers of his paper. But, for
tunately for the community, for Jour
nalism and for him. he pursued no
nd "a nm ii irr-
showed its high ideals by making his
paper a great success.
Here is the full set of instructions
given by Harding to writers on the
Marion Star for their guidance:
.-'There are two sides to every
question. Get them both.
BE truthful. Get the facts.
Mistakes are inevitable. but strive
for accuracy. / would rather have one
story exactly right than 100 half
wrong.
Be decent. be fair. be generous
'Boost-don't knock.
There's good in everybody. Bring
out the good in everybody. and never
nedlessly hurt the feelings of any
body.
" In reporting a political gathering.
give the facts, tell the story as ii is.
not as you would like to have IT, Treat
all parties alike
If there's any politics to be played
we will play il in our editorial col
umns.
Treat all religious matters rever-
entity.
"'If 1t can possibly be avoided never
bring ignominy to an innocent man or
child in telling OF the misdeeds or mis-
fortunes OF a relatives.
Don't wait TO be asked. but do it
without asking. and above all. be clean
and never let dirty word or sugRes-
tive story get into type
~ want this paper SO conducted
that IL can go into any home without
destroying the innocence OF any child
1T is safe to say that the general
principles adopted for the newspaper
over which he had control would be
followed SO far as applicable in the
administration of the affairs of gov
ernment- AS he was not sensation
alist as editor ora newspaper. neither
would he be a muck-raker as presi-
dent. He would remember that there
are two sides to every question and
would get both sides before reaching a
decision"
