THE NE WHIMPER A W> POLITICS
The newspaper's position'as it con
cerna the political campaigns In South
Carolina 1b well defined in a recent
editorial of The Columbia State. The
subject is dealt With exhaustively,
a?id in view of the fact that the cam
paigns are near at hand and thl? sub
ject will Ijo one of more or leas im
portance, we are reproducing in full
The State's outline of it's position.
'.From The State, Columbia.)
Ab political campaigns, state, coun
ty and municipal, are about to opan,
the platement of certain principle ?
and rules that govern thie newspaper
b>, telutlon to them seems advisable,
though they ought to be self-evident.
The controllers of the newspaper
are an l muet be the final judges of
what It .shall print and shall refuse to
print. The newspaper is a private
I property. It Is the right of the car
; yon ter to refuse do work for a par
ticular person at any price, of the
land-owner to refuse to lease land to,
e tenant undesirable to him, of the
merchant to refuse to sell goods to
one whom he does not wish as a cus
tomer 01 the banks to reject the ap
plication ' for a loan of one whose
paper'he does , not care to buy. The
newspaper Is not obligated to give or
! to . sell space to any man.
A' subscriber to The State pays $8
a year for it and In return he receives
?he newspuper dally. Thereby The
State's obligation <to the subscriber Is
wholiy discharged.
The State undertakes to promote
the establishment'of certain principles
nnd to that end supports certain men.
I For example, it' endeavors to aid the]
Democratic party by urging the re-j
[nomination for. President of Mr. Wil
son. It ta under np obligation to
print the .communications in favor of
[Mr. Weeks or Mr. R^oijeiolt sent t> It
I by-;' Rqp?bUe?h8.^:v^r.,^p>?gros8ive8,|
though itVhfta. th'eiaa^ph .to ,do. sovj
S Tutore ore a 'few^rtepn^Me men, R?
I publicans and Progr?ss)^, who sub
scribe to The Stole. One may answer,
VThore in no Republican or Pro
gressive newspaper of general circu
lation In South Carolina?therefore
The State' should give - members of
tho'ei' parties a.hearing." .' To which
The State replies? Their want of a
newrpaper bj nonsuit!, of,.Tho State.
The State is not., engaged'in building
up * Republican >or Progressive, party.
If.,they will not or can hoi provide for
t^nselves mediums of publicity, it is
mit. ouxvlookout,
j/^^ta.'V.aa* Bays again, "but . sup
pose Mr. WebkB or his friends think
jyou misrepresent his position or fal
IsUythls record?does not fairness de
8and that you give him or thsm space
>: correct it?" To which the reply
Is obvions: That Iis necessarily a mat
Iw; for, the. newspaper'-'itself to .de
termine. The laws of tho land give
lo ail men, private cittsens or men-in
[public life, tho amplest redress against
tjefarautlph of character. The Stito
Is a"responsible, newspaper.
' " T?> Illustrate : Candidate ? Makes
Icharge^.agcJiwi Cfindid?t? D. Candi
date B denies thoin, but Can??dato A
intdt?s that thejj are true and does not
rcvcde from them. No one says that
It Is the duty of Candidate A, to con
sume his tlmo on,,the slump In re
citing the answer -to'.the charges of
Ca'iOidato B. To expect;hJm to do so
ui'lrss h.*. Withdraws,. the charges
Wohld ha absurd* Candidate B must
le Ahls own yeHlc?e of reply on. the
stump.
Now Candidate A. 1st its say, stands
for tho principles'::of> The State. The
State wlahes hluXubloeted, Would it
not be Idiotic for The State to Obligo
Itself to sell space,;'** Candidate B? 18
It not plain that Candidate B should
[appeal to hhv own .'..newspapers, the
[organB v! pubSIclty on his own side?.
I if h? 'has ao organs, !.or pone equal to
TIio Slate in circulation and influence,
|tbat,'Y?e repeat is hot pur fault. More
over, It is a sign that ; his cause is
weak?In this land Where any man
or men may set. up and auntain : n
newspaper If they wish to do so, The
Stst* denies simply that its circula
tion and Influence shall be subject to
their -convenience, save at Its pleasure.
The state Ib under co obligation to
give any reason! or explanation for the
rejection of an advertisement or;cota-!
humlcatlon. Often It does give one or
the other, but/that is a matter of pol
icy, hot obligation. S^^^k,
Whhta the Democratic party ol;
South Carolina diff?rences of political
opinion arc ..as wide' -as are Hhoso be
tween 'the Democratic ?ni? Republican
partie:*. Th? State does not pretend
to speak for amV to represent every
Democrat In ' South Carolina: The
.QMrt? voulci not; for instance,' be
called upon to print a criticism of a
candidate; for .Governor Or for Prest
[tfmt merely because the critic.1 coa
sid'.-rs hhnselt. a South Carolina Dem
ocrat,
Tho Siato does hot seek political
advertisements- of on Inflammatory
character. Adv-ferUs?ments contain^
log .harsh and abusive language are
not. printed In U except, sometimes,
but' of .abundance pf; liberality to

The State on-ItUe Wl-.inip a*-though J- f
were a candidate and some other mo
tive than the public good were .its]
guide. .The State has.actually been]
threatened with suppression by an,
executive ?nd often has later been ap-1
pealed to by that same person to d|a>
Hemlnate his opinions. It has ..been |
debarred from public offices and r*'
fu:<ed official news. Yet men who j
have abused H most, have sought
the favor of a place in Its columns?
on flimsy pretexts of "fairnoi>r>!"
When a politician ou : \h". bust-!
llnga has made en accusation (
ajrulrst The State, has he ever been
requested to use fl\'o minute? of hi?
time the next day in reading the
reply of The State to <the crowd
often a crowd not composed of read*
cru of the papor and who could not j
otherwise know Us reply? But a poli
tician sometimes pretends to think
himself harshly treated If Tbo State!
declines to bo >the vehicle of his I
reply to it.
The tState Is :ot concerned with j
what the politicians say about it.
Some of them have stirred classes ol
the people whom it has most be
friended against it. They may malign
it and denounce H to their heart's con
tent?that is no matter?but The j
Statt will not be deterred from dis- j
cussing men and measures nor will it
be cajoled on auy pretext to lend its!
columns to the undoing of its. pol- j
icies.
The State will in future, as. always,
try to be just, fair and liberal, but it I
will render its own decisions. For, its
errors It will pay the price. Nothing
Is so responsive to public opinion, as, a
newspaper Is. The hardest fate that |
can befall a newspaper is loss of cir
culation, influence and consequent]
bankruptcy and extinction. An hon-,
f?t newspaper 16 invuln?rable to any
assault except that, which the .people
mak? upon it. The .places'of editors
and r?lpowera e?h'hi ways 'b? suppiled.
When i^ha - State falla to be- a decent
and Just newspaper it wijl suffer, at
the h?sinda of the p?pRlo,,es,!taniy-der
serve.'to suffer,'-b?f ' from ' 'the' politi
cians or their\ h'ehchfheh'Hhe'.. n'ew's
I paper, that intangible spirit that sur
vives' the; mortal span i of,-. msn( . that
Is as. long-lived as are honesty and
I courage ,t{iemselvea. 1b . safe.
To say what has been said .in this,]
article was -to many men not neceS- j
sary, but to othors it was. Wo shall I
be charged with being "autecra?tlc,"
but all manner of charges will bej
brought against The State anyway.
It la just as well that the public
! understand .in advance of the cam
paigns exactly what tho position of
the newspaper. is In respect of po
: iftlcal communications and advertise
I raents.
