EXPLAINED BY
CHICAGO MAN
Function of Daily Paper De
fined by George Baslian
"in talk to Students
FRANKLIN. Ind Oct. 28 The
attitude ef.the modern newspaper
is that of a secretary to society,
or a. historian, and it assumes no
more responsibility,! George C.
Dasiian, assistant Sunday editor
of the Chicago Tribune, said in an
address to Indiana college and
high, school students here tonight.
' Giving a demonstration of what
he termed, news arithmetic, Mr.
Baslian said: .
! "One ordinary man plus one or
dinary life equals zero in news,
t "On ordinary man plus one ex-
raordinary adventure e q u els

One ordinary man plus one ex.

"One chorus girl plus one bank

f "One man nlus one auto, plus
one gunj plus one quart, equals
news."'-- V '
The optimist mistakenly assigns
to the modern newspaper a mor
alistic mission while the- pessimist
makes the mistake of regarding
the newspaper as untruthful and
superficial. "The real newspaper,
be said, records news events Im
partially and without favor in its
news columns, reserving comment
for its editorial columns or signed
articles. ' ; , '
' The newspaper, he observed,
does not create events, but mere
ly Chronicles them, and the ideal
reporter is the fair Impartial ob
server. - The newspaper, he. said
spreads s complete record of to
day's problems, victories and de
feats before man, that he may, if
