Newspaper Making A scandal in the family has blasted Doug Fairbanks’ presidential boom. Numerous Democrats object to following Woodrow to the end of the rope.

(Portland Journal) A bill before the New York legis lature provides a heavy penalty for those who knowingly furnish news papers with false information for publication. The bill hits at the root of what some people believe is wilful news paper misrepresentation. Papers are frequtntly criticized for errors and there are people who declare "that they don’t believe anything they read in the papers." The public generally fails to re alize that editors are compelled to separate the true from the false in a very few minutes. They are call ed upon to pass on scores of articles in a short Ume because of the very great element of speed in the news world. And they are forced to pass judgment on news which in prac tically every instance comes from an outside source. Papers do not manufacture news. The source is with men who are do ing things. They are authority for the article, and if incorrect informa tion is given reporters, unless on its face it is questionable, there is little opportunity for investigation. It is the dispenser of news that makes the error, not the newspaper which attempts to give the public all the news within a few minutes after its appearance. On the other hand, it is marvel ous that so few errors are made, so few facts questioned. Hundreds up on hundreds of stories are printed without an error. Seldom it is that in all the quotations, and in all the presentations of various facts, that the newspaper is incorrect A sur prisingly low percentage of errors is found, even though the newspa per, like every other establishment must depend on the human element. There are papers that make little effort to find the.truth. There are pa-’ pers that distort facts and color the news to suit the own purposes. But the great body of respectable and conservative newspapers in America make every effort possible to supply the news without addition or sub traction, without interpretation or taint. The New York bill w ill aid those papers in combatting those who dis seminate false misinformation. rate of 6 per cent per annum until paid, and the further sum of $50.00 attorney’s fees, together with the costs and disbursements of said suit taxed and allowed in the sum of $10.10, and accruing costs and expenses upon said execution, I will on the 7th day of June, 1920, at the hour of one o’clock P.
