HARDING’S NEWSPAPER CREED
Remember there are two sides to I
every question. Gel them both.
Be truthful. Get the facts. j
Mistakes are inevitable, but try
\
for accuracy. 1 would rather have
one story exactly right than a hun
dred half wrong.
Be decent, be fair, be generous.;
i
Boost—don’t knock.
There's good in everybody. Bring
out the good m everybody and never
needlessly hurt the feelings of any
body.
In reporting a political gathering
give the facts, tell the story as it
is, not as you would like to have it.
Treat all parties alike.
Treat all religious matter revert;
ently.
If it can possibly be avoided,
never bring ignominy to an innocent *
man or child in telling of the mis- j
deeds or misfortunes of a relative.
Don’t wait to be asked, but do it
without asking, and, above all, be,
clean and never let a dirty word or
suggestive story get into type.
1 want this paper so conducted
that it can go into any home with
out destroying the innocence of
any child.
If rumors from the coast are to
be believed, the discontinuance of j
accounting in this division is not!
an act of discrimination againt In-!
terior Alaska. It is, instead, part of |
a general plan of eleventh-hour re-'
trenchment, made necessary by the
running’low of Alaskan Engineering]
commission funds and the fear that •
7ongress will question closely anv1
further appeal for money to com- :
nlete the railroad.
Self determination and. open cov- ]
enants, like earlier talk of disarm-!
ament, appear to have been quite i
lost sight, of in the readjustment j
of European affairs. The latest evi- j
dence of it is in the threat of Allied 1
interference in case the people of
Greece attempt to re-enthrone Con
stantine.
Times surely have changed. A
score of years ago the farmers of
the States were extremely prosper-;
ous when wheat touched the dollar
mark, but nowadays, with greatly!
increased effieency and highly pro ;
duetive soil, curtailed production is [
threatened because wheat is selling;
at less than two dollars.

Lawmakers-eleet of the Fourth i
division should make close inquiry |
into the workings of the Territorial ;
publicity bureau, with a view to
jetting the maximum of results for
the territory. Should a continuance'
of the publicity work appear to the '
legislators to be warranted, they;
night with wisdom give considers- i
:ion to the very sensible plan of the !
Nome Nugget, which suggests that!
he newspapers of the territory be j
rided in advertising their respective j
listricts. As it. is at present con-'
ducted, the bureau spends all of the j
publicity money in Juneau and the 1
Senetdts, in the way of publicity.!

Now that the election is over I
rnd the Republicans have been re- i
:urned to power at Washington, the
funeau Empire believes that eight .
years is altogether too long for one
President to preside at Washington.;
neaning probably that it is the in I
:ention of Editor Troy henceforth ;
:o advocate a single term as the
limit.

seem to indicate that the American
people knew what ithey were about
when they retired the Democratic
party on November second.
It’s all well enough to have a
Harding year in clothing styles, but
let us hope the .prices will be equal
ly conservative.
With less than one hundred miles
of a gap on the Government rail
road, it is worthy of note that it
costs as much to land express matter
in Nenana by way of Seward as it
did in the old days when Interior
express was routed by way of the
Richardson trail.
