Flood Control in West
Tabled by Congress
I'roblcrus of Mississippi and Sacra
mento Valley Will Go Over to Sixty-fifth
Congress for Lack of Time.
Washington, U. C, Jan. 30. (Unit
ed Press.) Flood control problems In
the Mississippi valley and in the Sac
ramento valley are doomed to go un
solved by this session of congress.
Smothered beneath a mass of ap
propriation bills and administration
measures, the house bill reported fav
orably to the setmte just before the
Christmas recess, wil go over to ziie
sixty-fifth congress, for lack of time
to consider it.
Meantime residents of tlw vaileys.own guidance this code first of
can pray for further deliverances from
floods until the senators get time to
consider the matter.
The Traveler From Alturia in Japan.
Japan, honest as are her leaders and
earnest as are her thoughtful men,
li'eks any considerable spirit of altru
ism which will go out of its way to do
a Good Samaritan act for any one. A
few are fighting the fight of the many
but the background for the finest spir
itual and moral efforts is heathenism.
One would expect succor from the
Christian missionaries who come from
university courses in sociology, social
service and industrial conditions. But
not a single missionary lives in the
trnns-Sumida district. The Salvation
army is almost unaided in its fight for
the health and souls of nearly a million
people.
The missionary forces of Japan are
not applied with care and foresight
which distinguish the work of the
Young Men's Christian Association..
The social service of the Association,
containing as it does. Christian pre
cepts and practices, should be more
strongly supported by the direct evan
gelism of the churches, both at home
and abroad. Maynurd Owen Williams

Each year the Christians spring some

A NEWSPAPER'S DUTY
The prime duty of a newspaper is
to give publicity to the news of the
day. The news should be handled in
a fair, truthful end impartial manner
with due regard for good taste. A
paper that suppresses or buries im
portant legitimate news is more cul
pable than a papor that places too
much emphasis on such news. There
is danger in suppression. Publicity is
sunlight. Bar it and many noxious
evils will quickly arise. In many re
spects the fear of publicity is the
greatest deterrent to wrong doing. A
papor t hat makes a creed of news sup
pression is usually cowardly.
With regard to what is legitimate
news and what is not the East Ore
gonian, though 40 years successful
experence has envolved o code for its
all
recoirnizes the distinction neiwoon
news that is if public import and news
if of a private nature. The paper is
very loath to encroach upon the per
sonal rights of anyone but it is rigid
in giving publicity to affairs when a
story reaches the public stage. To
illustrate, news of a family quarrel ,
or a private business quarrel will or
dinarily not be published. It is
private matter. iBut if a divorce suit j
is filed or legal action of any sort is
taken the affair becomes public, j
people are entitled to know the news
.'because it may involve others, for in
stance creditors or others having busi
ness of social relations with the par- Sold in La Grande and recommend

Recognizing this condition the East Red Cross Drug Store.
Oregonian invariably gives puulicuy i
to the filing of a divorce suit or any j
other suit the circuit court, be it j
civil or criminal. This rule is never
broken for anyone. However the
aim is not to scandalize a story but to
performe a duty by the paper's pat
rons. Another rule that is strong on the
East Oregoninr.'s list is that of im
partiality. If a bootlegger is caught
in a leading noiei me iact win ue puu
lished just as readily as though he
lived in a less prominate place. If
a bootlegger should happen to be a
tenant of the East Oregonian building
or a member of the force that fact
will not save him from publicity or
save the building from being mention-
elsewhere the story will have the
snmo treatment, with reference to
suppression, that it would have were
the boy of a poor or obscure family.
i Any news lavor tni'.t tnis paper win
extend to one person or 10 one insii-
. vution
it will extend
to any other
person or institution
under similar
conditions.
The foregoing is a discussion of
journalism as practiced by the East
Oregonian. The code may be in
complete or faulty but it is observed
with fidelity. The East Oregonian
enunciates no ide?.ls of journalism
that it does not follow and it believes
its ideals arc sound and just. All of
this may or may not be of interest
but it will enlighten some people as to
why the paper does certain things
and refuses to do others. Pendleton
