The managing alitor, otio of tin* ablest newspapermen of the cuun* try, instead ?>f tiring tin* lad, smiled ami said to him, "Son, you're a great man !" That green youngster had kept inviolate tint honor of hi* nowwimper. He had n??t stooped t? n contemptible breach of faith in order to print i6ii?or tuut news which had not hecn rHepsed by tin* in a n who gove it. Newspapers, like men, have honor. A dishonorable newspaper la as con temptible a* a dishonorable man. There arc sheets which will do anything despic able in order to seore a beut over news, papers, but. be it said to the high credit of the Fourth Instate, . these are few, notorious and *u*orm*d. In the matter of released statements, decent uewspa-' per* are guided merely by the unwritten law of honor. They will follow one test : what an honorable man would do iu the ejircuinstaiiccM. If they uceept a statement for publication with the un derstanding- that it will not be released until (he giver releases it. they will strictly i-arry out their contract, If the statement', is not released to one newspaper but is released to other news paper*. if t lie newspaper to which it is not released can get a copy hy fair and honorable, meahs, it is justified In printing it unless the statement is ru ealled. The author of a coinipu nida tion intended for publication has the" indisputable right to alter or recall it altogether. Newspaper* often receive communications which they return or revise at the author's request. Sometimes a reporter goes to a man for a story ami is told the facts, but informed that he must not print them unless he ean get' them from some other source. Such instructions are alwuyn obeyed by men who are lit f> work hii a decent newspaper. Often they get the facts through an independent in vestigation. There is here, of course, no brcuch of faith. Nothing is more important to the newspaper than that its reporters and editors keep the faith aud respect con fidences. Newspapermen know a great deal" that they cannot print, l^cause they cannot violate confidential commun ications. What is told to a newspaper muu in (*onndence is just as sacred as what ii client tells his lawyer, what a patient tells his doctor and what a man tells his spiritual confessor. There are newspapermen in the f'bited States who enjoy the confidence of its leaders from the President down, but they can not write all that they know. It is important for a Newspaper to print the news first, but it is infinitely more important that a newspaper main tain its honor and keep good faith. What the .community expects of an honorable man, it also Nx|K>cts* from an honorable newspaper.
