Ia the days when the New York un was in the meridian of its brilancy, a cab reporter was sent.to insrvie,w a distinguished citizen and et a statement from him on a it.star of burning interest. He called to ee the man. accompanied by a r^porer from a rival paper, and the state.ont was given them both with the nderstanding that it was not to be rinted until the man gave permlsion. Thcf next morning there was othing in the cub reporter's paper, ut in the rival- publication the Latemcnt appeared in full. The ianuglng edftor called that cub to is desk, intending to discharge ini. "Didn't you get that statelent?" asked the superior. "Yes, Ir," said the cub, "but Mr. Blank aid it was not to be printed until e released it and he hasn't released ? I told him I'd hold it until he gave ermission end I've kept my word." he managing oditor, one of the ab?st newspapermen of the country, istead of firing the lad, smiled and aid to him. "Son, you're a great ien!" That green youngster had ept inviolate the honor of his newsaper.

In the matter of released '.atements, decent newspapers are uided merely by the unwritten law f honor. They will follow one test: 'hat an honorable man would do in ae circumstances. If they accept a tatement for publication with the nderstanding that it will not be pleased until the giver releases it, ley will strictly carry out their con-act. If the statement is not released > one newspaper, but is released to ther newspapers, if the newspaper ) which it is not released can get a | spy by fair and honorable means, it i justified in printing it unless the tatement is reoalled. The author of communication intended for pubcation has the indisputable right to Iter or recall it altogether. Newsapers often receive communications hich they return or revise at the uthor's request. < Sometimes a reporter goes to a lan for a story vtud is told the facts, ut informed that he must nnt nrin? lem unless he can get them from >me other source.

I Nothing is more important to the ( newspaper than that its reporters and editors keep the faith and rcf spect confidences. Newspapermen know a great deal that they cannot print, because thtfy cannot violate confidential communications. What is told to a newspaperman in confidence is just as sacred as what a client tells his lawyer, what a patient tells his doctor and what a man tells his spiritual confessor.
