Meeting Attorney James T. Carter,
Treasurer of the Grand
Lodge of Elks and one of the leading
fighters at the meeting in Atlantic
City, n. j., being a member of Will
liams Lodge of this city, he said he
knew nothing about the report other
than what ne had seen in the news
papers. Mr.. John B. Neblett, one of
the most prominent members of Will
iams Lodge, stated that he had at
tended the lodge Thursday night,
18th inst, and nothing of the kind
had come before the lodge.
Capital City Lodge here is not a
party to any such movement. 1t
would seem then that the whole mat
ter was mere newspaper talk" The
large vote by which Grand Exalted
Ruler j. Finley Wilson was reelected
precludes the idea of any such op-
position as that described. M. AL
phonso Norrell did not seem to think
that any headway could be made
against the present regime, in view
of the overwhelming majority shown
by the election of Wilson.

CRIME AND NEWS

Every often, hear of complaints by we'll mean
ing but poorly informed persons that there would be
decrease in crime if the newspapers printed less about
crimes and criminals.
A newspaper does not make the news, but merely
chronicles events of the day 1t pick and choose
what shall print and what shall not print, to
tain extent. and il play up play down certain
wishes of the publisher.
The Press is what might be termed a 'conservative
1t Sas no desire to be sensational and in giving
counts of crimes criminal it endeavOrS to be
moderate possible. Yet we have heard complaints
time and again because print of crimes. Sew
era good people have asked in all faith, if could
not omit stories of crime altogether
AS the newspaper does not make the news. neither
does make its readers 1t has for its readers all class
of people who desire all types Of news \ person
be interested in reading about particular crime with
out being in the least bit criminal 1t is natural trait
in many of be curious and to wish to satisfy that
curiosity.
As to whether or not Press readers wish to read
about crimes, only cite the fact that Satur
day telephone almost constantly iingling with
inquiries wanting to know if the Pantages jury had
reported. There almost many calls when
the worlds series is in progress Certainly there were
inquiries than there were, for instance about the
lost T A. T. plane weeks ago. about Clemen-
ceau's illness. dozen other affairs in which the
public might be expected to be interested.
We have intentions Of becoming tabloid or Of
playing up of crimes. Neither going to
eliminate reports of crimes altogether. We going
to continue have in the past, and the
hundreds of other newspapers throughout the land
doing giving the news as it occurs, always with the
thought in mind that paper is going into homes,
and presenting the news in clean manner as pos
ibe.

An ENFORTJNATE SLIP

Wanton killing of Imperial Valley citizen on the
Calexico highway Sunday, calls for extraordinary et-
fort the part of Imperial county peace officers in
seeking apprehend the responsible for the death
Of Clifton D. Handley.
From all accounts of the affair there not the
slightest for the tragedy except that the driver
of the death must have been drinking which Is
not an excuse but another reason why he should be
found
It is hard to understand hoW: the driver TO blame
for Handeys death could get away in broad daylight
on heavily travelled road without being caught Ap-
parently passersby followed the usual inclination to
see how badly the victim had been hurt instead OF
corning themselves with the apprehension Of the hit
and run driver.
This is indeed regrettable, for Handleys slayer has
no more business driving an automobile than has a
new born baby AS is he is large and in posi-
ton to repeat Sundays tragedy.
