No man's private affairs concern others than himself, and the jublication of anything relative to this is not journalism, but yvellowism. A newspaper is a clearing house for the collection from ull legitimate sources of al] that interests the pub- lic or a large part of it, and placing it before them in readable shape, without comment or coloring. It is the duty of a newspaper to publish all the news that is fit to print, and what is news is left to the discretion of charge of the news-gathering end of the paper. It is equally reprehensible in 2 newspaper to suppress any im- portant news story or to fake a story, or publish one which it knows is not ali true. The public expects, and has a right to demand, the publication of all news and frequently raises a howl because some story of supposed im- jortance and fact is left out, not knowing that perhaps the matter has leen sifted thoroughly by the edi- tors and found to he impossible ol verification, or dealing with the pri- vate life of somceone, and therefore rot legitimate news, The paper depends upon its public for the news which it prints, The task of gathering here and there the various items found in any daily pa- per is a herculean one, and one which is often performed with great diffi- There was a bad wreek on the Burlington o few days ago, and the result of an investigation places much of the blame on a woman who was on duty in the signal tower and who misunderstood the orders whici came over the telephone. Thereupon the jury having the in- vestigation in charge recommended that in future only men be employed in positions such as that held by this woman. We believe this recommendation to te unjust. Every day there are accidents, costing heavily in life and property, caused by the negligence or care- lessness of the men on the job. In system, no matter how careful- 1y worked out, the human factor is reckoned with, and it frequent- Iy happens that the entite system is thereby upset, Neither man nor woman is exempt from the liability to err which results in accidents aft- 1 be er it seems that every precaution against such happenings has been exhausted. But we believe it will be senerally admitted that this liabil- ity to error is at least equally de- veloped in both sexes. As a matter of fact, experience has proven that in most positions women are more to be relied on for faithful and eflicient service than men. They are, as a rule, more conscientious, and carry to their duties a weightier sense of responsibility than men do. Usnally “a job” means more to them than to men, and, being more anx- icus to hold it, they will give it better attention. Their senses are not be- fuddled with liquor or tobacco, as is otten the case with men. For 2 score of reasons we had rath- er risk life with the woman in the wiatch tower, even though for once she failed to make good, than with the man, who so repeatedly has shown himsell indifferent, or negli- gent, or incapacitated by booze, and vhose record of casnalties exceed ten fold thut of the woman employed in like position. The bubonic plague scare has been attended with a great deal of mor- tality—among the rats there seem to be fewer rats in Lake- land than any town of similar size that has come under our observation By the way, ‘original Woodrow Wilsor has at last been located. He Jacksonville the The man” was discovered in cther day by the Argus-eyed Times- Union, and it develops that it is none other than Frank Walpole, the re- rowned political conspiracy discov- erer. culty, Fortunately, most people, cor porations and oflicizl bodies readily contribute daily anything which has come into their knowledge, or which they themselves are the center of, recognizing the reciprocal relation cxisting between them and the paper; but there are some institutions, of both public and semi-public nature, which, while demanding the publica- tion of al the news, not only refuse tc tell the representatives o the newspaper anything of their own vo- lition, but actually deny all knowl- edge of a fact when asked about it, and even go so far when confronted with the facts for confirmation, or siven the privilege of making a state- ment relative thereto, become almost, i not quite, insulting in their man- ter, and make threats it the story be published. They do all they can 0 suppress the news, no matter how fmportant the story. Reports of accidents and deaths are of the utmost interest to the pub- liv, for often one unknown to the at- tendants of the institution where he i carried after an accident dies, an! ouly by publication of the fact and he particulars of the surrounding happenings can the relatives and friends of the injured and dead be apprised of his fate. Yet it seems (o be the policy ¢f some hospitals and sanitoriums to carefully conceal every thing that comes to their doors. In a nearby city the cried jailor actually the incarceration of a man charged with the murder after the press representative had seen the ma . ¢itered, when a whole tSate was awaiting the news of the capture of a murderer. The police in another city denied the arrest of burglars who had a whole section terrorized by their nu- merous robberies, when the men were centined in the cells, because forsooth the department was “not give it out to (he papers.” Some railroads make it a practice to tell the public nothing concerning a reported wreck, though hundreds are anxious as to the safety of family and friends, g These are ready to few instences of sup- pression of the news and the focts which some corporations and ins tutions are guilty of, most common from these very ones te hear the cry raised of suppression of news Ther £ a mutuality existing be- tween the public and the press which affccts one as much as the other, and it cither suppresses or garbles the facis, cither is equally recalcitrant i nd either receives the same ed of public scorn.—Ja + Metropilos. the trained men ll‘alenawd hundreds of friends. and yet it is| k- 1 tHE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA., JULY 27, 1912. DEMOCRATIC PARTY OWES MUCH TO BRYAN. |, .4 1890. It is a little late now to be stiil fighting over again the battles of the Baltimore convention, but the 1ol owing from the Estero Eagle, to which our attention has been called by an enthusiastic admirer of Bryan, so admirably states the case that we tuke pleasure in reproducing it: Champ Clark is nursing a good | sized grouch against Bryan for as-! persions cast against him at the Bal- timore convention. Mr. Clark shouid reflect that the people were demand- ing a clear-cut lineof demarcation be- tween the progressives and reaction- aries, and that his ne opposition to Judge Parker, gave oc- casion for well-grounded suspicion, that if he were not in secret alliance with Wall street, he was at least very tender footed in his opposition to it and when the New York delegation color to that suspicion. Had Mr. Clark received the nomi- pation after that, however innocent he might be, no explanation would have allayed the distrust, whick would have handicapped party suc- cess, alienating thousands from his support. Those who are bitterly re- proaching Mr. Bryan will, perhaps, upon more sober reflection, have rea- son to thank him for the politicai sensitiveness of mind to perceive this, and the courage to act, to save the party from fastening this mill- stone to its neck, even though he ('ol. Bryan has well said that the turning point in Mr. Wilson's favor was the efforts of his delegates to pre- vent the keynote of the convention from being reactionary. Mr. Clark has himself, or his managers in real- ity to blame for his defeat, and not Mr. Bryan. In times past we have thought Mr Bryan often a political trimmer for but now his own personal advancement, the fires of that ambition dampened, he seems to be giving the Letter manhood play, in seeing and acting a more disinterested part. Cer- tainly he was the brains of the Bal- timore convention, and the savior of his party, if it s Throughout battle, despite petty suspicion, velence and bitter Eept cool headed and clear eyed to de- teet and thwart every move of the irterests, and steered the wild mob te bring out the cleanest and strong- est ticket it could present. to be =aved. and heat of male- accusation, he the smoke Those who are in sympathy with the Democratic party, and care for its honor, and future succe ought to honor Mr. Bryan more than any other one man for the achievement of tiding the party over a great risis, and bringing it into w pretty safe and sane condition for the com- irg campaign SOME INTERESTING FACTS GATHERED FROM CENSUS.

The states that were growing faster than the coun try as a whole, from 18%0 1y grew still faster from 1900 (o 1910, while the divisions with a low rate of growth in the former decade still more slowly in the latter decade.
