CHARACTER OF NEWS THAT
SHOULD BE PRINTED.
The Times has recently louud it
necessary to publish news that it was
desired be omitted. This brings up
the mooted question of what is news
and the duty of a newspaper to its
readers. On tills The Times has but
one rule. If It is news it should be
printed regardless of who Is con
cerned. It is not right and it vio
lates all the rules ot justlco that the
piomineuco or wealth of any in
dividual should exempt him from
publicity that would be given another
under similar circumstances.
They say there arc many things
that may be news, but ought not to
be published.
Wo inuot discriminate as to what
Is news. Many newspapers publish
ninny matters that are not news.
News may bo divided Into two gener
al classes the things that the public
has a right to know and ought to
know, and the things the public
wants to know and can bo told with
out injustice to any one. In the for
mer realm the real newspaper has no
opinion, choice or alternative; in the
latter it may exercise its discretion
nnd judgment.
This paper is willing to admit
that thoro are rare exceptions to the
rule of all news and the truth about
It. To savo a mother'a heartache
and encourage a wayward child to
turn from evil ways is ever good and
Buillciont reason for suppressing
what many nowspapera regard as "a
good story" even a sensational one,
or one of great "human interest."
Such stories, aro hardly ever publish
ed in tihs paper, though many of
them could bo published. Such sto
ries aro not necessarily news of the
kind that a paper is under moral ob
ligation to publish always. Tlio cir
cumstances, the disposition and char
actor df the parties involved, and
many other conditions have a bear
ing in such cat.es. Each must bo de
cided on Its own morlts or demerits
It is a matter for kindly discretion
and wise judgment in hlch every
conscientious editor leels keenly his
limitations.
But in all niatteis affecting civic
policies and pubiie business, such as
politics, court proceedings, the doings
of tlio city trustees, the supervisors
and all public ofllclals, tliero can bo
no question as to the duty and priv
ilege of tho newspaper. It must pub
lish all tho now s and toll tho truth
about it. In this way only can a
paper bo of any voal public service;
in this way only can it gain and hold
public confidence.
Tho papor that habitually sup
presses nowa or colors It to suit its
frionds or punish its cuomles, to get
or keep business, to pleaso or pro
tect personal friends such a news
paper commands no confldonce and
exerts no Inlluonco. Tho first thing
n man thinks about whon ho picks it
up is What did tho organ suppress
today? What did It llo about?
In all matters concerning which
tlio public lias a right to bo Informed
we will how to tho line, let tho chips
fall whoro they may; but wo will
novor ruthlessly nnd uselessly Invade
the sanctity of personal affairs whon
we cau nvold It without violating our
senso of duty as a public journal.

part with him when he goes
wrong."

To spend my hard earned bucks.

Cut as I puffed away
I couldn't notice It sui passed
My rope of twisted hay.
Tho man who gave the prize to mo
From out his private box
Said, "Try one of my private brand
From blended Cuban stocks."
I lit It recklessly, as though
It were but common trash,
But privately I'll own to you
I'd rather had tho cash.
It Isn't In tho flavor fine.
It Isn't In the blend.
It Isn't In the thicker smoke,
That Joys serene attend
In plump perfectos of that kind;
It's knowing as ou sit
It cost some sucker fifty cents
And you are smoking it.
A man with educated tastes
May think he likes tho puff.
But ono with politicians raised
Finds stogies good enough.
And In theso days of closo expenso
And figuring down fine
Tho average man prefers a weed
Marked down to forty-nlno.

Two Coos Bay boosters, who nro
llkowlso good Elks, and thats a com
bination that can't bo beaten by a
European title, havo hit upon a novel
plan to advertise Coos Bay and com
plunont tho lodges of which they aro
mumbors. Tho two gentlemen are
P. C. Parsons and W. R. Haines.
They havo each had a handsome
gavel mado from tho beautiful Myrtle
wood of Coos county, mounted with
sclld silver bands and they will be
sent to tho Exalted Ruler of tholr
homo lodges. Mr. Parsons bears the
inscription "To Boise City Lodge No.
310, compliments of F. C, Parsons."
Tho other contains the legend "To
Denvor Lodgo No. 17, compliments
of W. R. Haines." Tho articles are
beautiful emblems of authority and

officers from absont brothers In n

application.
It seems impossible to get ahead
of those Bandon fellows. In the
window of Smith's Cafe there io a
large piece of whalebone with a card
attached statiifg that it was taken
from a Coos Bay smelt. Jim Mar3 of
Bandon was passing by with L. D.
Pettyjohn and L. D. called his at
tention to it as an evidence of the re
markable products of Coos Bay when
such a largo whalo bone could bo
found in a smelt. Jim looked at it
a moment and then turned up his
nose in contempt.
"Huh!" he said, "that's nothing."
Why I found a sardine 'on the beach
at Bandon that had a piece of whale
bone twice the size of that."
And Mars grew so chesty at tho
superiority of Bandon that Pettyjohn
had to hold him down to keep him
from floating off into the atmosphere.

"Come over IIito a moment." called
SImpklns to Tluielkins. who was sitting
nt another table lu the restaurant.
"What Is It?" asked the obliging
Tlmelkius. laying aside his napkin and
complying with tho request.
"You used to live In tho country,
didn't you?"
"Yes. but that was ninny years ago."
"So I have understood, and that is
why I called jou."
"Want some expert advice on agri

BEER PROMOTES
T
1
Recognized as a Food Product, and so dealt with
by the Government
It is being recognized the world over that the drinking of beer
promotes temperance and sobriety to a far greater extent than all
the prohibition laws on tho statute books.
All enlightened European nations are encouraging tho manu
facture and consumption of light beers containing about three and
one-half per cent alcohol, and tho result has been most gratifying
to all sincere lovers of temperance.
The United States government has taken a positive stand in
this direction, the war department holding that the re-establishing
of the army canteen for the sale ot beer being an absolute neces
sity in the interest of temperance and sobriety.
Beer is today recognized a& a "Food Product," and is so dealt
with by the government.
All the great Insurance companies havo contradicted tho lies
that havo been given currency through prohibition sources that
the drinking of beer was a bar to securing insurance, and have
lately published to the world at largo the statement that those
drinking beer moderately (not moro than two quarts during twenty-four
hours) were the very best of risks. The latest British life
insurance reports show that the atio of death rate among abstain
ers is thirty per cent greater than among moderate drinkers.
Beer is pure and wholesome, and tho day Is not far distant
when it will be as much a part of the dally subsistence of every fam
ily as are milk, bread and other food necessities.
WEINHARD'S BOTTLED BEER
Is the perfection of browing. It is In every sense the Yery best
that modern enterprise can produce. It makes the finest table beer.
It speaks for itself and is its ownbest advertisement.
