The name “newspaper” suggests at once that it is a disseminator of news and if it is to do its duty to its subscribers, it must publish all the legitimate news that occurs in the community of which it is a part. By “legitimate” is meant, natur- ally, news of public interest. Scan- dal, gossip and the like do not con- stitute news in themselves, but if aired in public court, then the newspaper that fails to publish the proceedings falls down in its duty Aâ€"‘An:n“" *hnflfi Whosoever is afraid of submit- ting any question, civil oar religions, mare in lave with his own opinion than with the truthâ€"WATSON. to its subscribers, especially muse at a distance whose only idea in subscribing to the paper is that it will keep them informed of what is going on in the old home town.

Many may not be- lieve it, but editors, like other res- idents of the community, are hu- man. It is a whole lot easier to tell of the joys of life than to re- port its errors and tragedies as aired in the police court, but pub‘ lic sentiment demands that all that is news should be published. A newspaper that does not do this fails in its duty; in fact, is guilty of obtaining money under false Country newspapers don’t make all the mistakes.
