THE OBUGATION OF A NEWSPAPER
The obligation of a newspaper is primarily to its readers.
Not to any political party, not to any clique, not to any pres
sure group, and not to a bloc of public opinio.n But to its
readers.
A newspaper is doing its job well when it prints the news.
The news and nothing more. And nothing leas.
It isn’t always the eaeiest kind of a job to print the news.
There are always forces and persons who like to set them
selves up as censors and either want the news colored or,left
out entirely. This brand of citizen will spout about the
democratic neecL for a free press, but let their own interests
become involved^'and immediately they are for hamstringing
the news. *.
A newspaper seeks to print the news—^truthfully, accur
ately and without bias. It may db other thin^ if it wishes.
It may print human interest stories, it may indulge in the
luxury of politics through its editorial column, it may sponsor
a columnirt and it may engage in civic promotions. It may
do all these things in a superlative way, but it ceases to be
a newspaper if it ceases to print the news.
! It is true that a publisher will make' enemies for himself
when his paper prints the news. He rqay make some staunch
personal friends if he makes concessions of principle. In the
latter case he always lives to regret it. In the former, it is
■ always worth while, for the general public respect him for
printing the news.
If the publisher operates his paper by fulfilling its obliga
tions to the public and prints the newek the rapid increase in
circulation shows that his reading audience approves of his
attitude.
.The free, factual and unbiased newspaper will always
succeed. Its progress may be of the plodding type, but it
gets there. It really cairies on.
Then there ivas the old general with low blood pressure
who quickly brought it up to par by reading the memories
of another old general.

Bediane News Notes
W. BFi!rhDir.-Jr.. liwmymrr
Remebmer those famous words: ‘‘Never did so many owe
so much to so few?”
They were uttered by Winston Churchill ^nd they tell
a whale of a truth.
Says an isolationist: “If it hadn’t been for the United
States, tihe British today would have been slaves of Adolph
Hitler.”
Says an intelligent American: ‘‘Where jvould we have
been today had it not been for the British.”
It ill behooved any intelligent American to make light
of the valiant Battle of Britain. Far better if they read the
story of this famous battle and know the truth.
And let us remember back when we were refusing all
aid to the desperate Britons, that kids and old men of the
Royal Air Force, riding their tiny Spitfires, were putting the
wedge in Hitler’s dream of a world conquest. Up against
desperate circumstances, those kids and,.old men put up
brilliant defense' against the German air force. And it was
not until long later did Russia and the United States step in
and drive that thin wedge, inserted by the RAF, home.
More and more thinking Americans are realizing just
how lucky—aye yes—how fortunate we were that the RAF
WM on the job. For if Hitler had gotten by those valiant
kids and old men, our lot would have been a sorry one.
We would have known what it meant to have V bomba

Camden People
No RMflnratk»a On Sleepinf
Can For Lean Than
450 Mile*.
Camden people who travel by cboo
choo will do it In the fntnre In day
coaches—along with the rest of the
nation.
The country’s railroads last week
took off all Pnliman cart off runs of
less than 450 miles. Furthermore no
reservatipns for Pnllman apace is
being processed more than five days
ahead of time of departure.
These new travel restrictions were
ordered by the ODT to free more Pull
mans for the heavy troop movements
expected the balance of the summer
and in the fall.
Pullmans are atill being operated
northbound out of Camden for points
farther north than 460 miles. These
Include v^igiJ]4{y|ton and New York.
The 460 mBe ban on Pullman sleep
ers is rigid. It is pointed out that
it is quite possible that a person mak
ing a long trip involving several short
Jumps would be unable to obtain
sleeper service for any portion of
said trip. For example, it is pointed
out.' thei1»' will be no Allman space
between 'here and Atlanta and none
between Atlanta and New Orleans.
The best advice for the people right
now is for everyone to stay where
he is.
