Suppressing Real News.
"Keep it out the paper," is the cry
which tho local newspaper publisher
daily hears. To oblige often costs
considerable, through the persons
making the request think the grant
ing is scarcely worth saying 'thank
you. A newspaper is a peculiar
article in the public's eye. The news
gatherer is stormed bocauso he gets
hold of one item, and is abused
because he does not get another.
Young men, and often young women
as well as older, perform acts which
are legitimate items for publication,
and then rush to the newspaper
offices to beg the editors not to
notice the escapades. The next day
they condemn the same paper for
not having published another party
for doing the same they were guilty
of, forgetting, apparently, their late
visit to the printing office.
The people who buy a paper
expect the news and ought to have
to have it when it is legitimate
and is news. Scandals are
suppressed by the best paper until
some official action it taken regard
ing them, and tben they are used.
terns interesting practically nobody
can be "killed," too, without affect
ing the worth of a newspaper. But
the real "news must and ought to
be printed, and to ask editors to
suppress it is like going to a dry
goods store and telling the proprie
tor to stop selhng certain lines of
silk or satin. JEi,

so appropriated $5,000 to pay the ex

the expenses of the Governor and his
