ll.e most important tiling ol all. They
don't know how to live this fleeting
iiie to the ‘ est advantage.
The Italian government has issued
Old. is prohibiting profanity by the
soldiers. \k hat would happen among
Anglo-Saxon soldiers shuold they re
ceive the same order? Probably they
would swear.
An exchange says that eastern deal
ers are trying to popularise the tile
fish as an article of diet and suggests
they will have to lind a name tor it
that sounus less like a sewer irn
provemenL
A war correspondent says that the
Qcrmuns ate somewhat austere and
curt in manner. In unother part of
his article he states that the Germans
have been practically out of tobacco
for two years. Un't that enough to
make any body of men somewhat
short?
In reply to a few querulous remarks
we will stale that we do not make
the news. This paper merely strives
to print accounts of what takes place
so fur us it can do so. If the out
come of this, that, or the oilier thing
deos not agree with any one’s pre
conception of ’whul should happen
we can only state that it is none of
our business. We would rather trust
the telegraph report as to what has
happened than to accept any person's
views as lo the way it should have
turned out. One is a fact, the other
an opinion or wish. Kuch atom of
humanity Is enillled to u full meas
ure of opinions and wisheB but they
are In no sense news. News, we take
It, Is recent intelligence of some
thing that has lately taken place,
or something before unknown,
or imperfee’ly known. This definition
leaves no room for personal expecta
tion of whut would happen or for any
coloring of the facts. If the news
ccmes that Mexicans have killed
three Amer.cans we can not alter the
facts, ulthough we would like to, by
reporting that Americans have killed
three Mexicans. The latter would
read better, we will cheerfully ac
knowledge. It would be better still
If it read that Americans have killed
three thousand Mexicans (guilty
bandiis of course). But no amount
of misrepresentation, or coloring of
the news will alter the facts.
A correct statement of the facts is
what this paper strives to present.
U errors eoeur in d»UUli U Is
because they are unavailable mostly
on account of the besotted ignorance
of the editor as we are Willing to
ague. Bui lie shall continue to s.rive
to present the news of the day as
soon us possible utter it occurs and
Uike it for granted that our readers
want the facts and not someone’s p. r
suual prsfui mil tor swmwihmg Uiiu
did not chance to turn out that way
at atL If Eloyd-Ueurgo should die
we would print the n.ws although we
would know that It would not be
agreeable reading for our English
fi.oi.ds. Bu, no lull-minded English
man could possible blame the paper
for his Ueu.h. If the allies should
hurl the Germans back from the
Wist front as fur as the Rhine no
German sympathizer would like to
read it bui no sensible Teuton would
blunie the nugget tor lhal horrific
debacle. As should be plain, this
littie paper could have had no hand
In that momentous event. U would
hu'e been our humble part merely
to state all the facts we could gather
in our best reportorlul style. Most
newspaper writers rejoice when great
stones break but their interest is
purely professional. The more horri
ble tne details up lo a certain limit
the better chance they have to show
their skill us writers. And they ran
be good newspaper writers only as
they view ihc.r subject matter Im
personally. When they beg.n to plead
u cause, advocate a measure or preach
reforms they become propogandists,
and special pleaders unj what they
write is not news at all. It is true
that a newespaper can help to bring
about a reform by merely reporting
the facts which show a rotten state of
affairs. No comment need be made
on the facts, though it usually is, for
the knowledge of comlltons quite
likely will arouse the citizenry to a
course of action which will abolish
the nuisance. But again, as has been
stated before, the newspaper does
not make the news, it merely reports
it. Things lake place in the city un.l
nation and the newspapers find uoi
about them and print such of the
facts as are considered of importance
und fit to be printed. There may he a
wide latitude of opinion as to what
constitutes news but there can lie no
question as to the impropriety of pre
senting facts from a partisan stand
point and smiling it forth as n.ws.
This is not done at all by our best
houses, don’t you know.
