Local News l ('wisher L Vfi I LOWER , . x.v m asB i I -j j rar .ika-. a I aaaae i a -jr i-- i ? (W vVf jTf SUBSIDIES MIRRORING THE NEWS By CHARLES V, STANTON : Frank J. Starzel, general manager of The Associated Press, told Utah-Idaho AP members that weeding of bad news from good news by editors is "Pollyanish." The act of gifting bad news from the good results in making re porters and editors propagandists, he declared. . Many readers, we know, would prefer that newspapers print less crime news, fewer cold-war scareheads, and less of the seamy side of life, while giving more optimistic and pleasant news. In fact, one newspaper, "The Christian Science Monitor," enjoys a wide and deserved circulation on just that sort of editing. But we wonder how well in formed the American people would be if all newspapers followed the Monitor's style of reporting. A newspaper may be likened to a mirror. It is sup posed to reflect accurately its community, state and nation, together with the world situation. When it fails to reproduce accurately a portion of the image before it, the person gazing into the mirror sees a distortion. A Trick With Mirrors In a popular comic strip one of the principal characters, a magician, caused a particularly ugly man to see his face reproduced in a mirror as that of an extremely handsome male. A newspaper can do exactly the same kind of tricks with news and it needs no magic. It can hide the fact that ugliness exists in the world and show only beautiful, pleasant things. Such a newspaper would furnish enjoyable reading, but would it truly be a newspaper? A subscriber buys a newspaper to be informed of what goes on In the world, particularly his own community. He wants to know about events and people and conditions. Because he can't personally make all the contacts necessary to obtain the information he needs, he spends a small amount of money to hire the services of hundreds of thousands of workers in every part of the world to bring that information to his doorsteps. He wants accurate information, presented without color or bias. He wants opinion kept separate from statements of events. He demands that his newspaper fur nish a certain amount of entertainment. He Is not paying for trick mirrors which remove the blemishes from tha face of the news. ', Why More Crime News? Because newspapers today are filled with news of crime, many people hold the opinion that crime is increasing tre mendously. We cannot share that belief. True, we have more arrests, particularly involving young people. We also have more news of crime. But this is due, at least in part, to better law enforcement and improved facilities for dissemination of news. The science of crime detection and apprehension has ad vanced by leaps and bounds in recent years. Consequently fewer criminals go unpunished. Due to better organization on the part of law enforcement agencies, newspapers have less difficulty in obtaining detailed crime reports. And because newspapers have greatly improved facilities for transmission and dissemination of news, crime stories 'are more available for publication. Readers Getting More News We can recall when a small daily newspaper received 1500 to 2500 words of telegraph copy per day, transmitted over western union or rostai Telegraph, wires. Jt came in skeleton form and hnd to be rewritten. Later wires were run into the newspaper office and a Morse operator handled about 5,000 words a day. Now, teletypewriters pound in cessantly bringing news from every part of the world. In the office of The Newt-Review, for instance, tele typewriters run from 11 p. m. to 3 p. m. reporting news from wherever it occurs. Report from a happening on the other side of the world will arrive in The News-Review office within minutes after actual occurrence. In larger newspaper offices batteries of toletypewriters operate around the clock. Pictures are transmitted by wire from around the world. Contrast modern facilities for news gathering with the fact that when Port Arthur was surrendered to Japan in 1905 it was 29 days after that event before the first eye witness reports reached the U. S. mainland. From wire reports covering every section of the globe, coupled with work of local reporters, syndicated features and columns, and other material, editors endeavor to se lect items of greatest interest to readers while, simultan eously, striving to provide all information essential to proper understanding of world events. If in this effort news appears which the reader may find distasteful, it should be remem bered that it is not the duty of the editor to shield the reader nor to be a Pollyanna. His sole duty is to so ar range the mirror that it furnishes a true reflection, be it good, bad or indifferent. fChPtStSr If TURN, A it?". k W LEFT ). Jgflg By ViaJuutt t.

You could be struck at but you couldn't strike back. Your name would simply have been mud. CAN you blame the ancestors of these Amazonian tribes, when they held this mighty weapon in their hands and saw its disastrous effect en their enemies, for think ing they had the world by the tail with a down-hill pull? You can imagine what must have been their first thought. They must have said to themselves: "Boy, this la ITI As long as WE ALONE possess this potent thing, we're hunkydory. But if we ever let our enemies get the hang of it we'll be up the creek without a raft. WE MUST GUARD THIS SECRET AS WE GUARD OUR LIVES. If any body else ever gets it, the jig's up." a YOU probably know what hap penedeven though It was a long, long time ago. The boys kept It hush-hush. They turned pale when anybody even mentioned bow and arrows. I expect their teeth chattered most of the time even when they were asleep. Then I hate to think of it But I IMAGINE that one fateful day their Big Chief called in his secretary and told him to arrange a news conference pronto and when the reporters gathered to hear what was cooking he told them in a hushed voice that his tribal secret service had just reported that over in Ump tec toodle land SOMEBODY HAD JUST SHOT AN ARROW FROM WHAT MUST HAVE BEEN A BOW! You can imagine the consternation. Laaves For Convention Mrs. R B.

The Bitwuns have a fixed routine when it comes to "doing" a city they have not visited before. Mr. Bitwuns is interested in mileage, a place to eat, and a place to lay his head, come evening. He makes careful logs in advance (it's Mrs. B. who makes them as they go along. She saves hers). Mrs. Bitwuns reads advertising literature, especially chamber of commerce material with which she is usually provided in advance. She lists places to see, and figures the time closely so as to crowd in as much as possible. Then they ar rive and what happens? Always! Tha log made by Mr. B, marked down Vancouver, B. C, as a turn ing point . . . then by ferry to Victoria, and home through the Olympia area. Mrs. B. meanwhile had carefully studied all places listed and was primed with point ers on how to see the most in the least possible time. She's really good at that. Arrived in Seattle, they decided to check up on ferries, even be fore they reached Vancouver .' . . at the ferry information desk Mr. B. looked at Mrs. B. and Mrs. B. looked at Mr. B. One of them'' said "Have you seen everything you want to see in Seattle?" The other said, "Uh-huh. What say we take a night boat to Vic toria and so that's what we did. There were a few hours to kill and Seattle is a lovely place, very lovely indeed I How would they use the few hours to best advantage? Shortly after, in accordance with the information clerk's understand ing and helpful advice, the Bit wuns were happily seated on a rug above Lake Washington, maps and so on strewn close. Soon they folded up the maps and just looked at the water and the green hills, and enjoyed themselves. On the way back to the ferry they natur ally took a wrong turn and saw quite a bit more of Seattle that way. Mrs. B. objected to the Jacob's ladder way the streets dropped down to the ferry, so, good-humor- edly, Mr. B, took a roundabout way to avoid the down-dropping blocks (before they left Seattle they had up-and-downed, it seemed to Mr. B., most of the Jacob's ladder streets available). Mr. B. doesn't care if the car stands on end just so long as it gets where he heads it. On the 81-mile ferry trip to Vic toria Mr. B. crumpled up some sheets of paper. "I don't know why I ever made out a log for a trip" said he- - usual "we never yet have followed it!
