IR CIRCIRCIRCIROIRCRECY & ® HEART-TO-HEART-TALKS. “But This Is Not For Publication.” (Note: When we announced last Thursday that “tomorrow’ the above subject would be dealt with, we did not know that the wide-awake advertisers were to swamp the paper. This and many other editorial and news items were crowded out. 1t you care to blame the adver- tisingmanager. Suchthings hap- pen on all papers, but they don’t all admit it, having in mind the great and growing cities of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth.—Editor.) “But this is not for publicnnon"‘ stands between an experienced re- porter and a world of live, sensation- al matter. Thic jethe, nearise-deduatino- af| “The American Newspaper” run- ning in Collier's and every reporter knows it to be a stubborn truth. A newspaper that betrays a confidence is a rare exception and is the object of quick and merited contempt. It so happens that at this moment the Pioneer is in possession of infor- mation relative to a person known in every part of Beltrami county, and beyond, which if printed would rivet the eyes of its readers to the last on what might be said. It is news—big news—but it is as safe from the columns of the paper as a saint is from the clutches of satan for it is protected by “it isn't right to-say anything about it, for awhile anyhow.” This shouldn’t be construed to mean that the request to keep this, that or the other paper for item out of the personal reasons will be complied with. Anyone laboring under that delusion has a shock in store for them sooner or later, and unfortunately many persons go around with just that sort of a notion in their head. This we wish to those who read: be impress perfectly free and frank in talking to a newspaper. Don’t try to hide anything or cover up facts. upon Something is sure to be printed if you do and it is better that it should be the truth—that is what the paper wants and where sensitive persons are too reticient the paper is compelled to guess at the facts, and when it has to do that it is almost sure to hurt someone’s feelings. We plan running tomorrow an article by Mr. Denu on “Does Adver- tising Pay?” THANKS. In the ever interesting editorial columns of the Cass Lake Times, we notice, in this week’s issue, the following: We see the fine running hand of Mr. F. A. Wilson in the Be- midji Pioneer. 1t would be in- teresting reading if Mr. Wilson would give—My Personal Recol- lections of the Legislature of 1911. The Pioneer is to be con- gratulated in securing Mr. Wil- son, Thanks for the compliment. As to the legislature: we are trying to forget it. John Deitz is getting lots of sym- pathy but what he really needs is a first class lawyer. (2 Ripe cherries ean now be had at $25 a box, but most folks ‘had rather buy an automobile. All pike less than fourteen fnches in length should be thrown back in- to the water—especially if it is day- light. Overtures of peace having been spurned by Diaz, the rebels will not load the cannon on a wheelbarrow and renew the carnage. The Ilinois legislature is still in session but the country at large need not be alarmed as no United States senator is to be elected: Walking clubs are being organ- ized in several Minnesota cities and more will be when the railroad rate goes back to three cents on July 1. 1t is claimed that for the past six months a cow at the state agricultur- al school in Missouri has averaged 46 quarts of milk a day. We suspect that there is a pump near the cow barn. Congressman Hammond is being > talked of as a possible democratic candidate for governor of Minnesota, but those who know him best are ready to admit that he is willing to retire to private life. | EBERHART, WHITTIER AND NEWSPAPERS. It isn’t often that the carefully ed- ited and conservative Duluth Herald strikes the wrong note but we are | constrained to the belief that it is in a discord on the Red Wing scan- dal. Under the editorial caption “Let’s Be Just” the Herald says: It is difficult to understand why Superintendent Whitter should be so unmercifully ab- bused for refusing to resign when resignation would be a humiliating confession that all | the charges brought against him are true. No man with | self-respect and courage cares | to retire in the face of battle and thereby confess himself | a poltroon and everything else that anybody pleases to call | him, | If Mr. Whittier is the cruel and malignant tyrant that his enemies have painted him, of course he ought to go. If he is such a man there ought to be no difficulty in getting rid of him. behalf of the inventor of a contri- which bare backed boys were pounded until became hysterical from the cries of the tormented, we know not. The | vance on the Board of Control, under whose regime Whittier and his lash have existed, is likewise democratic, but Wwe can not imagine that the Herald would put politics above decency; party devotion above a reform that is being demanded from every corner of the state. Unfortunately, the Herald does tinuing it says: But here is a fact that a good many people seem to be losingsightof: that both branch- esof the legislature, in full pos- session of all the facts brought out by a complete investigation which many of the members at- tended in person, deliberately and after thorough consider- ation and full debate refused to recommend Whittier's re- moval. If the evidence had shown him to be all that his enemies picture him undoubted- ly the legislature would not have hesitated to demand his discharge. Both houses of the legislature was NOT in-full possesion of the facts by any means. The investigating committee had all the facts for it alone heard the testimony and col- lected the evidence. And what did that committee do? Every one of | its members, with the exception of Rockne in the senate (in whose dis- trict Red Wing is located) and R. C. Dunn, in the House so rank a par- tizan to Whittier that he even re- fused to attend the hearings and listen to the evidence, branded Mr. Whittier unfit to be superintendent. This then was the conclusion of un- prejudiced, unbiased members of -the legislature appointed for the sole purpose of making the investigation, and the only persons in a position to render an intelligent verdict. “We have done our duty,” said Senator Sullivan in presenting the majority report, “we have present- ed the facts as they exist; you can whitewash Whittier if Yyou want to but the blood will hands.” There was no “thorough consider- ation and full debate” in either branch of the legislature. In the House the” evidence was considered at a night meeting and not more than half a dozen members spoke, the most. of the evening being taken up by Representative Kunze; a former resi- dent of Red Wing, in defending Whittier. and upholding corperal punishment. In the senate there was| be upon your Wy the Herald utters.a plea in| even__young | Herald is a democratic paper and| not confine itself to facts, for con-; no attempt maée to go over thé eyi- dence, for that-would have been im- possible by either house, the testi- mony amounting to several hundred typewritten pages. , By an overwhelming majority the men who had léarned the. true con- ditions at Red Wing found Whittier guilty. And even the legislature voted to accept the majority report condem- ing the practice in vouge at Red Wing, the ony change from the majority report being the fact that an amendment saving the precious. scalp of Mr. Whittier was adopted. This point is worthy of emphasis. The majority report adopted after it~ had been merely changed. so that Whittier could continue in charge. was exist at the Red Wing school. Therefore, this paper believes that it is the boys at Red Wing who are being “unmercifully abused’”’ by con- tinuing ‘Whittier in charge and ‘it believes that the determination of Govevnor Fberhart to force him to quit is one of the brightest spots in his brilliant career as governor.

The modest effort of the Pioneer tlirough its “Heart-to-heart” to bring newspaper readers into a | desires are insignificant when Minnesota should lose no time fruit, as other papers are taking the { question up for discussion, number. In this week's issue of the Little- fork Compass appears the following editorial: In a series of “heart to heart talks” the Bemidji Pioneer tactfully appeals to its sub- scribers and the general public for aid in an effort to mutually advance the interest of all. No newspaper seeks the ill will of anyone. Its bitterest enemy is accorded equal recognition with its most cherished friend; failing in thi the h publishers destroy their usetul- ness. All residents should keep this fact to the fore, and aid as they would be aided. It is the greatest co-operative agency under government and should be thus treated that the great- est good of all may result.
