JFHOMJi NEWSPAPER STANDPOINT The question or suppressing ( the news comes up in" everyi newspaper office now and then and no matter how much an editor might desire to spare thoi feelings of his friends he owes R to his supporters and to the community to publish the facts as they appear. As a public institution the newspaper owes much to the community' and it must be truthful and reliable. News can bo tampered with j and important items may be suppressed but this policy can only he dominated by fear ori hope of favor. Private scandals j may be minimized and spicy ru- j mors may be overlooked but itj is the duty of every honest news paper to publish the news-news that is news regardless of to whom it refers. This is the policy of every conservative, re liable and reputable newspaper in the country. When matters get into the courts when suits are brought 'and arrests made, when charges of crimes or misdemeanors are flled for trial, then no reputable newspaper feels that such news can possibly be suppressed. How ever much the editor of such a newspaper might like to shield a friend at times by hiding the facts, he Is in honor bound to a definite policy and professional ethics not to do so. He would as willingly tamper with the mar ket reports in the interest of somebody's profits or alter the election returns as to suppress qr alter the news that is made public through the officers of the law or by the. actions of th courts. If altering the news , would change the facts, If suppressing the news story would wipe out the unpleasant incident or the charge of crime and save sorrow and reputation, how cheerfully and how often it would be done! Any human editor would sacri fice a page any time if by so doing he could restore reputa tions and relieve heartaches. But it won't do it. It isn't the news story that causes the Ijurt and heartaches. It is the un happy thing the news story Is about. Without newspaper pub licity that thing is there anyway, causing all its anguish. . And the thing is talked about and enlarged upon and magnified as the imagination of the common gossips runs riot. It is often the unpublished thing that as sumes huge proportions and un believable shapes In the evil minds of the gossiping public. The News takes Its duty to the public seriously. It assumes that it is as much of a public institution as the library or the com'te and tries to be as imper sonal, as' as impartial and as fair to all. It may err occasion ally in editorial expression. It may have made mistakes, But its news columns are free from iaint, treating people of all class ,e op a par. Six thousand jrtrln.' from fourteen to thirty yenrs old, are ready to aid If war come.
