It would have implicated certain young man who lives near Hermiston. When the story failed to appear In last week’s issue of the Herald a friend of ours asked us why It was we passed up this bit of news. We are going to explain the reason why we did not broadcast tills arti­ cle to our readers. The day before going to press a certain farmer of the project dropp ed In the office for a chat. Dur­ ing the conversation reference was made to the story and the young man around which It centered. The farmer stated that the boy felt blue and was down hearted over the ac­ cusation against him and that he act ed in the manner he did from fright, believing the authorities were after him. This belief preyed upon his mind. Our informant explained that at no time was there a criminal intent in the mind of the lad. He had merely been the victim of cir­ cumstances. He toid a straightfor­ ward story to the authorltleR when questioned, and they finding nothing against the buy had turned him loose. The man who contemplated prosecuting has bropped the matter after an explanation. If it had been an older person the mere fact that he had been exhonerated would have beon sufficient to make them for­ get. But with a boy it was differ­ ent. He believed that the story would soon leak out and all whom he met would point to him with a fin­ ger of scorn. His inexperince made him look upon the situation in a different light. It would have, in all probability, broken the boy’B heart if we had published the story. There is enough thorns along life’s pathway; and the burdens al­ lotted to each as we Journel through this old world is sufflcent without any of us adding to them. Rather let us help to make the rocky places smoother or the burdens a wee bit lighter. The country newspaper’s mission is not to bring sorrow or add to the grief of any one. Some times it is better to forget. It was .a case of ‘‘when a feller needs a friend’,’ and somehow our conscience does not bother us one bit concerning the story we did not print.
