DON’T MENTION IT
“Don’t put my name in the paper! ’
How often does the average editor of small town or pro
vincial newspaper receive this admonition! It it were
obeyed there would be no newspaper—we would have to re
vert to the town crier with his bell and stentorian voice bel
lowing the happenings of the day.
And even then, for the most part, the tidings will deal
in subjects which, to say the least, would prove disconcert
ing to the luckless one who happened to occupy the spot
light in some disgraceful if not criminal proceedings.
There are various reasons behind this aversion to ap
pearing in print Naturally the primary one is a desire to
not appear as the author of some interesting or perhaps thin
skinned narrative reflecting upon the character ot another.
Again, which is rare, it is due to a natural diffidence and
modesty.
AU men who have risen above the crowd, and whose
names have become household words expressive ot honor,
integrity and those virtues which cause a man to stand out
prominently, achieved this via the newspaper. All business
would perish of inaction and stagnate but for the newspap
er, both as an advertising medium and as a herald of the
growth and importance of industry.
No aspirant for political honors could get to nrst oase
without his name becoming known to the general public,
and those qualities fitting him for the honor having been
portrayed, even though thye may be apparently insignificant
as compared with great accomplishments.
In the metropolitan newspapers individuals are as so
many pawns in a chess game. Personalities, unless they
have achieved prominence do not enter in. The subject mat
ter of the news, be it favorable or unfavorable is what sells
the big newspaper.
Not so with the small town newspaper. Personalities
carry the burden of importance. The editor, for selfish and
personal reasons, prefers weaving around the name of his
constituents something calculated to give the subject of the
story a favorable personality and set him up as a general
tvpe of good fellow, which in turn, reflects favorably upon
t he community as a whole.
Thus the man in the most humble walks of life share
in the newspaper columns the reflection of all that is wor
thy as a citizen and neighbor. Of such men most rural com
munities are builded. along with their reputation as places in

Of course there are scattered here and there individ
uals who have a "dog tied up” somewhere, and, as a rule,
these are the last ones who wish to see their names in “im
mortal print”.
Contrary to the attitude of diffidence and over-modesty,
all those who recognize in the newspaper an agency for
good and progress, should consider themselves as a part and
parcel of the institution, and in expressing this proprietory
interest, assist the editor in making of his paper a mirror
reflecting the good, not the bad, of the community.—Ex
