Printing the News

Editing a newspaper in some re-
spects is good deal like preaching.
The gospel truth must be presented
in the form Of generalism, or some
fellow will get hit and howl, says a
recent writer. Few persons like the
truth, even in homeopathic doses, IL
1t hits them. But while preachers and
editors are criticized for what they do
say, no one thinks of giving them cred
it for what they don't say. Yet what
they keep to themselves constitutes
the major portion of what they know
about people. Very many people har-
bor the belief that newspapers are
eager to publish derogatory things. 1t
is mistake. There isn't newspaper
that could not spring sensation in
the community at any time by merely
telling what 1t knows. There is not
newspaper that does not keep under
lock of secracy scores of derOgatOry
things that never meet the public eye
or reach the public ear. Deciding what
not to print is the most troublesome
part of newspaper work. How many
good stories are suppressed for inno-
cent relatives and for the public good
nobody outside a newspaper Office has
any idea of. In some instances he who
flies into passion because a news
paper prints something about him
which ne considers uncomplimentary
has every reason to feel profoundly
grateful to the papers for publishing
so little of what they know about him.
And oftcntimes the loudest buffer Is
the most vulnerable to attack. A big
noise so often a device employed to
cover trepidation Newspapers put up
with more bluffing than any other
agency would endure II is not be
cause they lack courage; it is be-
cause they are unwilling to use their
power to destroy or ruin unless the
interests of society imperatively de-
mand it. II might be well for some
people to reflect upon these truths and
in silent gratitude accept mild admon-
ition lest worst befall them.-Sheldon,
