FHIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1013.
"NOT LEGITIMATE JOURNAL
ISM." Under the above heading our con
temporary, the Independent, poses as
a teacher, and gives The Citizen one
of its lessons in what it construes to
be "legitimate journalism." The
Citizen is always ready, yea, anxious
to learn, and we have paid close at
tention to every phase of the lesson
In question. We regret, however,
that our neighbor should start off its
lesson with a 'statement that the
facts will scarcely warrant, for where
there is a wrong statement at tha
outset the old saying that is accept
ed as a trueism, "falsus in uno, falsus
in omnibus," or, to put it in good,
English, (for this is the class in
Journalism, .not the Latin class),
"false in one thing, false in every
thing," is apt to be accepted as ap
plicable. The objectionable para
graph Is th
Not an edition of our neigh
bor's paper, tho Citizen, goes
to press without an utterance of
some pitiful and pleading wail
about The Independent.
In order that our neighbor may
see the error of Its statement, we
submit our files for its careful and
critical examination. But let that
part of the lesson go. We would
suggest, however, that . there are
many words preferable to thq word
"not." Such words, for Instance, as
"seldom," "scarcely," etc.; and even
these words would really not be
truthful, but they would come near
er the truth.
Now vo the lesson. Here it Is,
fresh by dictation from "the mast
er's volco":
In z late issue one of its
multiplicity of editors whines
about The Independent having
publicly stated that it has no
competitors in its field, claim
ing it is " trying to do a little
publishing." Who said it was
not? But the public nowhere
in tho field of journalism recog
nize as newspaper as such when
published by office-holders,
politicians, manufacturers or
others who do not legitimately
belong to the journalistic pro
fession. Such men occupy fields
of their own as office-seekers or
office-holders or manufacturers
or are engaged in some other
calling, and eacli is regarded in
the newspaper field as being as
much of a quack as is the duck
family's favorite physician.
It will be noted that our neigh
bor seems to have strabismus of the
ears. First it hears The Citizen
"wall," then the wail to its hearing
becomes a "whine," and there is no
telling what it will sound like next.
Now, we propose to test tho In
dependent by its own rules, and the
public shall be tho umpire.
A journalist may engage in no
other occupation. Like the prover
bial shoemaker, ho must stick to his
last. Now, then.
May a man, (outside of a publish
er of The Citizen) be a journalist
and a bank promoter and director at
tho same time?
May a man purchase a farm In
Cherry Ridge township, while he is
publishing a newspaper and come
wlth'in the rule as laid down by the
Independent?
May a man own stock In a shop
that manufactures shoes and still be
classed as a journalist as well as a
manufacturer?'
Could a man expect to bo appoint
ed postmaster of Honesdale in case
a certain man was elected President
of tho nation, and still at the same
time be known as a journalist?
Would all of tho above people
properly belong to tho "quack" fam
ily, as tho word "quack" Is under
stood by the Independent? ( Bv tho
way, a careful examination of the
etymology of the word "quack" may
discover to our teacher neighbor
that it bears nomoro relation to tho
duck family than it does to a shoe
manufactory.)
Tho Citizen believes In "Legiti
mate Journalism." It believes that
If Us columns are opened to one
side of a controversy they should not
be closed to the opposite side.
It does not beliovo that dragging
Into Us columns tho particulars of a
church trouble, and by so doing in
jures the good name of ono minis
ter and Impeaches the integrity of
another minister, is "Legitimate
Journalism."
There are other features of the les
son that might bo considered, but
w. w. wood
they will have to wait until the class
is called again. For to-day school is
dismissed. Let's go out and play.
Before we "gambol on the green"
together, however, The Citizen de
sires to say one word more. It is
this: The best journals published
conduct controversies and never so
lose their temper and good judg
ment that they become personal.
But we forgot that the Independent
never imitates..
STATE ROADS OR DIRT ROADS?
Many times do we hear it said that
" we will have to pay " for the build
ing of 8,000 miles of state highway.
Certainly we will have to pay for it
Someone must pay for it and why
not the Commonwealth of Pennsylva
nia which is the one most benefited.
Where will the money come from?
you ask. From a tax on corpora'
tions. Any concern that is incor
porated in the laws of the State of
Pennsylvania pays a state tax and if
we vote for the issuance of bonds to
build these roads the tax will have
to be a little higher. All of the
money will be paid out for labor and
materials.
Then somebody startles you with
the suggestion that somebody will
get rich off from the contracts. The
experience of contractors in building
state roads does not warrant this
assumption. Some contractors
doubtless have made money and
some have not. Is it a crime to
make money? The people are wide
awake. Where can tho graft come
in? The state has a few roads to
build. Would you for one moment
consent that these roads be torn up
and go back to dirt roads? Would
you? If a few state roads are good
why wouldn't more be better?
AS 'TIS DONE IN SCRANTON.
The other night a Scranton lad
eleven years old helped himself to an
automobile and ran it amuck
through the crowded streets. That
mysterious power that is supposed
to protect children and fools must
have been on his job that evening,
for all the city was out to hear tho
military band blare on the Court
House plaza, and chauffeurs of
skill had to use all their wits and
wisdom to keep from running peo
pie down and crushing the life out
of them, and yet, nobody was hurt
The next day tho papers of that
mighty city treated the serious oc
currence in a jocular way, made a
Wild West hero out of tho kid who
should have been soundly spanked,
and then, if there was any doubt
left about his being good he should
have been spanked, too, by a
spanker who knows how.
Tho papers even went further than
that: they printed tho picture of the
kid, and thus sowed a lot of seed
that win grow, and thrive and
some day bear a crop of incidents
that the same publications will call
calamities.
It really looks to a man up a tree
as if even some newspapers should
have guardians as well as receivers
appointed for their benefit, and for
public protection.
WOODWARD'S WAYNE COUN
TEAN. Next week tho twelfth and last
number of Tho Wayne Countean will
be published. In order that all ser
ial stories might be completed in the
volume the number of pages has been
increased from 8 to 12. The editor
is quite sure it will bo tho very best
number of the twelve. Tho entire
volume will be worth preserving.
