NEWSPAPERS ALL OVER the
country are congratulating the
press, radio and television agen
cies of San Francisco for the
remarkable cooperation shown
in suppressing the Moskovitz
kidnapping story last week, to
save the man's life. This is the
most outstanding example in
many years.
We are living in the day of
the free press. That same free

dom, however, is hedged about
with strict laws which forbid
under heavy penalty, printing
■of a vast number of items, even
as paid advertisements.
An unscrpulous editor can do
irrepairable damage to an indi
vidual; he can influence the
character and reputation of the
town. A good newspaper must
use only proven facts without
coloring or slanting any situa
tion.
In a smaller community such
as Seward, one hears many sto
ries on the street that gain mo
mentum by word of mouth repi
tition. By retelling a rumor,
even if only to correct it, the
story is given credence, because
with many people “if you read
it in the newspaper, it must be
so." Such stories have been run
down by reporters time and
again and found to be without
truth or not newsworthy, yet,
the paper is criticized for ig
noring the story. It has even,
on occasion, been accused of
“being afraid." Of what, we do
not know.
That the San Francisco press
refrained from all mention of a
“hot” story like that of last
week, depriving themselves of
the much coveted scoop that it
would have been, is indeed a
fine example of integrity of the
industry, and reflects upon every
paper in the country.

SEA CALLS
A song from the west wind
A song from the sea,
Came drifting on a grey fog
Came calling for me.
So I put away my dull books
When I heard the sea call,
A drab life in cities—
I left them all.
Now I see the arched wings
Of sea gulls as they fly;
The blue touch to white clouds
In the quiet sky.
And winds whip the wide sails
Faded and torn;
With naught but the lapping
waves
To wake me in the morn.
The bent sail, and white clouds
Sea gulls on the wing.
The green waves and salt spray
Make a perfect thing.
—Virginia Decker
ENCHANTED SILENCE
You bade me to be still.
No thing could stiller then have
been than I.
Into a silence more abysmal
than hell
I went unfaltering. A shaded
gWnn
Submerged in primeval wood
land, there I found:
No sound
No breath of wind, to hear or
feel.
I felt a wonder in me rise.
Could this be real
Or was it I was make believe?
And then I heard it. Quieter
than smallest leaf
In softest breeze; the drifting
fall
Of loosened feather; stiller yet
Than blooming flower
I knew in that still, wrapt, en
chanted hour
Why you had bade me into si
lence go . . .
For there, within God's hallow
ed bounds
I heard Love grow.
