never meet the public eye or reach the
public ear. Deciding what not to print
is the most troublesome part of the
newspaper work. How many good
stories are suppressed for innocent
relatives and for the public good no
body outside the newspaper office has
any idea of. In some instances he who
flies into passion because a news
paper published something about him
which he considers uncomplimentary
has every reason to feel profoundly
grateful to the newspaper for publish
ing so little of what it knows about
him. And ofttimes the loudest buffer
is the most vulnerable to attack. A big
noise is often a device employed to
cover trepidation. Newspapers put up
with more bluffing than any other
agency would endure. 1t is not be-
cause they lack courage; it is because
they are unwilling to use their power
10 destroy or ruin unless the interests
of society imperatively demand it. 1t
might be we'll for some people to re-
fleet upon these truths and in silent
gratitude accept mild admonition lest
worse befall them.

WE NEVER PRINT ALL WE KNOW

Editing a newspaper is in some re-
spects a good deal like preaching. The
gospel truth must be presented in a
form of generalism, or some fellow
will get hit and howl, says a recent
writer. Few people like the truth
even in the homeopathic dose if it hits
them. But while preachers and edi-
tors are criticised for what they say,
no one thinks of giving them credit for
what they do not say. Yet what they
keep to themselves constitutes the
major portion of what they know
about other people. Very many peo-
pie harbor the belief that newspapers
are eager to publish derogatory
things. This is mistake. There is
not a newspaper that could not spring
a sensation in the community at any
time by merely telling what it knows.
There is not a newspaper that does
not keep under the lock of secrecy
scores of derogatory things which

DO YOU REMEMBER?

Thirty years ago we remember When
eggs were three dozen for 25c; butter
10c per pound; milk was sc quart;
the butcher gave away liver and
treated the kids with bologna; the
hired girl received 81 week and did
the washing. Women did not powder
and paint lin public, smoke, vote,
play poker or shake the shimmie.
Men wore whiskers and boots,
chewed tobacco, spit on the sidewalk
and cussed. Beer was cents and the
lunch was free. Laborers worked ten
hours a day and never went on a
strike. No tips were given to walters
and the hat-check CRATER was I'M
known. A kerosene hanging lamp and
stereoscope in the parlor were luxur-
les.
No one was ever operated on for APP
pendicitis, or bought glands. Mi
crobes were unheard of; folks lived to
a good old age and every year walked
1nles to wish their friends a Merry
Christmas.
Today, you know everybody rides in
automobiles, or flies, plays golf, shoots
craps. plays the piano with their feet,
go to the movies nightly, smokes
cigarettes, drinks Rubus Juice, blames
the III. G. of l.. on their neighbors,
never go to bed the same day they get
up. and think they are having q h
of time.

Washington celebrates the advent
of the new year just as do all other
capitals of the world, but with these
pleasant ceremonies over there is an
aspect of the American Capital which
may be called unique. This is the era
of calling from the dawn of the week
until the calm of the Sabbath for sew
eral hours of each day. and this dur
ing all the weeks until the season
ends with Ash Wednesday. 1t is in
vain that clubs Of women offer to
combine the efforts of those who
must leave cards by doing so at one
place instead of. say. at fifty. The
Washington woman likes to call, and
does not relish, except in rare excep-
tions, that she must meet Il whole
line Of hostesses rather than to have
a breathless moment with just one.
Foreign deniZens have criticized
this custom and have suggested the
mailing Of cards, which Is the prac-
tice in all OF Europe and the east. But
the Washingtonian, male and female,
likes the personal touch. and though
there is some grumbling IL would ap-
pear that no one really wishes this
distinctive custom abolished. Mrs.

line, follows the ways of her prede-
cessors and sees just as many during
