NEWSPAPER ETHICS

One of the many characteristic things brought out
in remembrance of President Harding is the little code
of ethics which he submitted to the staff of his
own paper the Marion Star. Here it is:
Remember there two sides to every question.
Get both
BE truthful Get the facts. Mistakes are inevit-
able but strive for accuracy. would rather have
story exactly right than hundred half wrong
BE decent; be fair; be generous. Boost-don't
knock There's good in everybody Bring out the good
in everybody and needlessly hurt the feelings of
anybody
"In reporting political gathering give the facts;
tell the story it is, not you would like to have it.
Treat all parties alike. If there's any politics to be
played, will play it in editorial columns.
Treat all religious matters reverently
'If it can be possibly be avoided never bring ig
nominy to an innocent man. woman or child in telling
of the misdeeds misfortune of relative.
Don't wait to be asked, but do it without asking.
Never let dirty word or suggestive story get in
to type. want this paper conducted that it go
into any home without destroying the innocence of any
child"
An admirable newspaper ideal every reader
will agree And it is ideal which the big major
ity of American newspapers try to live up to, even
though they may have formulated their prlncl
Piles so definitely as did Editor Harding.
The typical American journal does its best to be
fair, accurate and kindly. When it to fail in
any of these respects its failure is generally due not
as aggreved folk sometimes think, to malice cold
lack of conscientious effort, but to natural
human limitations and the stern eXigences of pro-
fession which has to print the news, public obli
gation many occasions when it would rather keep
silent

Decision Means
Big Improvement
On All S. P. Lines
by United Press Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IA
The quickening of new construction
and maintenance work throughout
the Southern Pacific system will be
the immediate effect of the decision
of Attorney General Daugherty an.
nouneed yesterday, TO allow the IN
terstate commerce commission view
of the Southern Pacific-Central Pa
cific merger to stand, officials of
the railroad said today.
Chief among these plans OF con-
struetion are the following:
Building of the Natron cutoff
between Oak Ridge and Turk in
Oregon.
Completion of double tracking of
the eastern line through Nevada
and Utah.
Construction of new stations,
particularly at Sacramento,
Rejuvenation of the entire line
from Portland to I'll Paso, through
rcballasting and the laying of heav-
Ter rails.
Purchase of additional equipment.
The building of the Natron cut
off was entirely dependent upon
the awarding of the Central Pacific
20 the Southern Pacific. The line
from Weed, Cal, 10 Turk, Oregon,
is d Central Pacific segment and
the survey from Turk 10 Oak Ridge
originally was made by that road.

County Officials
Tell Weird Tale
of Trout Fishing

AS usual, the big fish got away,
but unfortunately for the fish, he
was recaptured and was eaten yester
day at fish dinner in the county
Jail, at which Charles +. Nice, chief
deputy sheriff, was host to District
Attorney Utley and his assistant,
A. B. Robbins. The fish dinner
and the story accompanying it were
results of a fishing expedition made
by the trio yesterday to Cuyamaca
lake.
After indifferent success with
perch, Saturday afternoon and eve
ming, the Imperial county officials
tried their hands at trout fishing
yesterday afternoon, with no sue
cess ut all. Later in the day they
again tried the perch and found
them ready to bite at anything.
They were soon hauling the fish
i'll by twos and threes, as fast as
they could unhook them.
Robbins took another chance at
the trout, and landed q big one,
which ranged from II inches to SO
III length, and from six pounds to
long ton in weight, depending up
on which of the three fishermen
told the story. Robbins enlisted
the aid of his companions to prt
the prize trout ia sack, and N
his excitement, Charlie Nice let the
fish get out of the boat and back
II o he water. Something
happened to "Mr. Trout 50 sub
merging apparatus however, and it
was impossible for him to sink.
Then ensued a wild chase around
the lake after the fish, which flop
ped along on top of the water
while the fishermen bent their
backs to the oars in swift pursuit
Eventually the trout lost his wind ,
and was overtaken, and this time
no chances were taken on a second
escape, "Mr. Trout being decap-
itated as soon as he was hauled into
the boat.
This is the story told by the dis
trict attorney.
Attempts on the part of the
scribe, and County Clerk Mousseau
to obtain proof that there was such
fish by helping to eat him, met
with cold turn-downs from the
deputy sheriff, who thoughtfully
placed the eating hour at an mop
perfume time. The trio claim to
have supplied sundry residents of
Live Oaks and Jacumba with plenty
of perch, but none of the local cit
liens obtained any, even the eff
forts of Judge Conkling proving un-
availing, and like him we think, the
whole thing is "fish story"

Wow twisted the handle.

Wow twisted the handle.
And then-along came the Bob
Cat!
The Bob Cat saw Uncle Wiggiiy,
whose turn it was then, twisting
away at the handle of the zee cream
freezer, but neither Uncle Wiggi-
ly nor the doggie boys saw the
Bob Cat, for he was hidden behind
the bushes.
90 Hum. this is very queer" said
ike Bob Cat. "There is Uncle
" ggily playing Il hand organ, but
! amt hear any music coming out!
/ must be getting dealt That would
be dreadful. But wait! III ask
the Fox"
So the Bob Cat called the Fox
and the two bad animals, hidden
behind the bush, watched Jackie
Bow Wow, whose turn it was, swing
The handle.
''Do you hear any music coming
from that hand organ?' asked the
Bob Cat of the Fox, Tor they
thought the ice cream freezer was
a hand organ.
81 don't hear IA single note of
music!" whispered the Fox. 81,
too, must be growing deaf. But let
us ask the Wolf"
So they called in the Wolf, and
rs he watched Pectie, whose turn
it was, wigglc the handle of the
freezer, the Wolf said:
"Not sound can I hear, ]
must be very deaf!'
"We are all getting dealt" how
led the Bob Cat. "Let s run to
the doctor before we get worse!''
So away ran all those bad animals,
thinking, because they heard no
music from an ice cream freezer,
that they were dreadfully deaf And
when they were gone the cream
was frozen and Uncle Wiggily,
Nurse Jane and the doggie boys
ate it and were made very cool
So this teaches us that sometime
even Photographs make no music.
And if the bread knife docsn't cut
the cake when ii ought to be going
TO the moving pictures with the
pie, I'll tell you next about Uncle
Wiggily and the hose.

ship SEIZURES
BY United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Seizure
of British ships which hover out
side the three mile limit to aid in
surreptitiousIy landing liquor car
goes in the United States, either di-
reetly or in cooperation with small
bootleg craft, was upheld today by
Judge Joseph w. Woodrough in
United States district court, Brook
lyn.
Woodrough. an Omaha judge, sit
ting temporarily in Brooklyn, di-
rected a jury to return a verdict
of $4,000 damages in favor of the
United States government against
the Detroit Fidelity and Surety
company in connection with seizure
of the British vessel Marion Mosher
July 27, 1922.
The ship was seized off Fire
Island while landing liquor from
small craft.
In his decision regarded as an
important Interpretation of the
power of the federal government as
10 the seizure of foreign ships en-
gagged in the liqour trade although
outside the three mile limit, the
judge said:
"When a British vessel bovers
off the American coast although
three miles from shore, with intent
to violate the law and is caught
in the act of smuggling intoxieat
ing liqour and is shown TO have
been in contact with the shore, its
seizure although of foreign registry
and although outside the three mile
limit, is justified. -

II DEAD, MANY
HURT I'm UTAH
CLOUDBURSTS

SALT LAKE CITY, August A.
Eleven are reported dead and
scores are injured, many seriously,
as the result of series of cloud
bursts that began last evening and
devastated much of the country
from Salt Lake to Brigham City,
causing a property damage which
wieh will aggregate fully a million
dollars.
The list of dead includes five
boys who were camping in the
Pennington canyon east of the
town, three in the city of Farming
ton, woman, d baby anc a boy
of ten, besides one boy of IL, two
men at Willard, and one at Lagoon,
Arnold Christensen, brother of the
manager of the resort.
The towns of Pennington and
Willard probably suffered the
heaviest damage. Lagoon resorts
also were hard hit by the storm
and was the scene of many thrilling
escapes, but after the flood waters
subsided it is said the property
damage there was not so great as
had been reported.
In Salt Lake three street ears
were struck by lightning and for
the time being put of commission.
Torrents of water fell in n few mo-
ments time and considerable dis
comfort resulted.
All bodies recovered are now at
the courthouse in Pennington. One
house in the town was washed clear
away, leaving the electric range
suspended bv the wiring. Farms
to the west If Pennington have
been much damaged by big bouiders
being washed across the growing
crops.
Deep Creek and Davis Creek, be-
tween Centervilie and Pennington,
are still high and the rush OF
waters has washed away part OF
the state highway between Salt
Lake and Ogden. 1T is estimated
that ten DAYS or two weeks will be
required tc restore the road.
