ON SUPPRESSING NEWS
The following editorial by E.
J. White, veteran Alaska
newspaper man and publisher
of Stroller’s Weekly presents
a frank discussion of a quest
ion which frequently con
fronts newspapers editors, but :
is seldom voiced in their print- ;
ed expressions of opinion, de
spite the fact that it is often i
one of the most difficult prob
lems journalists are called up- ;
on to face. He says: i
If publishers of newspapers <
waited for somebody to O. K. j
the news they publish, there
would be but little news print
ed. John Doe or Bill Some
body may be charged with vi
olation of a traffic ordinance,
but John or Bill rushes to a
newspaper and requests that
nothing be said in its columns
and, in many instances the ma
jority of instances, in fact,
their requests are complied
with and the reading public
never knows anything about
the matter. They are not sup
plied with what they pay for
and are entitled to get.
Some people never go near a
publisher for the purpose of
patronizing him, but they do
not hesitate to call and tell
him what he shall and what he
shall not print in his paper,
and they are offended if their
wishes are not complied with,
and especially is this true when
something has transpired that
is not complimentary to them.
They tell the publisher how
to conduct his business when,
if the situation were reversed
and the publisher presumed to
tell them how to conduct their
business, they would tell him
“to go plumb to.”
Not long ago the American
society of Newspaper Editors
met in Washington, D. C., and
a hypothetical story was pre
pared to see what reputable
aewspapers would do with it.
“A prominent business man,
large advertiser, social leader,
philanthropist, is in an auto
mobile accident with a woman
who is not his wife; a reporter
finds out that the two had
seen in a roadhouse together
and had been drinking before
;he accident; but the police
are willing to hush up the
whole affair.”
It was the consensus of opin
on among the editors at the
lonference that the newspap
er's first duty was to its sub
scribers and that the story
should by all means be pub
ished, but that it should
)e handled straightforwardly,
without bias, and without
slaying up its sensational feat
ires. This we believe to be the
luty of any good newspaper.
NOTE ON HUMAN NATURE
And incidentally speaking of
gossips and character assassins
did you ever notice that the
most vitriolic and violent crit
ics and scandal-mongers are;
those who are striving to com
ouflage their own skeletons. It
won’t miss it once in a lifetime.
Just fof Fun
Work hard and save your
money so your children won’t
have the troubles which made
a man of you.
We can imagine nothing more
trivial or unimporatint than
discussion of who was Cain’s
wife?
When a man leaves his wife
she hasn’t lost half so much as
she thinks she has.
A native is one who feels
privileged to butcher his own
language.
Home: Sleeping quarters ad
jacent to a garage.
Take pains ith your work or
you will get pains out of it.
You’ve probably noticed that
most of the bargains are in
things you don’t need.
Those who take the law into
their own hands trample it
under their feet.
Politicians of course know
how to go from “mud” to
“pie.”
Fable: Once there was a
woman who stopped at a fine
hotel and didn’t become dis
satisfied with the bathroom at
home.
When denying yourv.-lf some
pleasure, be sure y\i gam at
least as much as you lose.
The joy of doing something
for yourself is doubled if you
know someone else wants you
to do it.
NEW VERSION
“Mother, may I go out to
swim?”
“Yes, my charming daughter;
“But don’t hang around the
camera man
Go on into the water.”
If you manage your business
successfully the world will
wear a path to your door.
An Alaskan politician who
fosters presidential ambitions,
admits he was not born in a
log cabin, but says he likes
log cabin syrup, if that will
help any at the polls.
A FISHERMAN’S PRAYER
Lord suffer me to catch a fish
So large that even I
In talking of it afterwards
Shall have no need to lie.
Hair tonic is not much of a
success either as a drink or
hair tonic.
It may be true that gentle
men prefer blondes, but it has
been our observation that
blondes do not seriously ob
ject to gentlemen, either.
Old Lady: “What do you i
have that strap on your chin
for?"
West Pointer: “To keep my
halitosis from escaping."
. JUST LIKE A WOMAN I
“Woman Drops Head While j
on Shopping Tour.”—Fostoria
(Ohio) Times.
Jane—“I want a shorter skirt
than the one you showed me.”
Clerk—“That is the shortest
we have. Have you tried the
collar department?”
Some local parties should re
member that when people
want anything they don’t go
to a knocker for it.
In Turkey a woman never
sees her husband before the
marriage. In America she
doesn’t see much of him after
Our objection to a thirteen
months year is that it will give
us at least four more blue
Mondays.
Another good test of person
ality is to say you lost your
job and then ask your girl to
marry you anyway.
Two can live as cheaply as
one, but they never look the
same.
Just think! fellows used to
congregate on street corners
on windy days, to get a mere
glimpse of feminine ankles!
Some people can’t make a
good impression even with a
rubber stamp.
