EDITORIAL PAGE
BETRAYAL OF CONFIDENCE
The uverugs man or woman, pax
ticularly those who have had deal
ings with newspaper men talk quite
freely to .1 reporter about the things
tha» affect them most intimately.
The" Instinctively feel, or have
learned by experience, that the ma
jority r't reporters will not betray a
confidence.
On thja other hand, too many
meu and womeu in public and pri
vate life fail to fully realize that a
reporter of expeiieuce knows more
about I'iffl, in many instances, than
does even a minister, a doctor or a
lawyer. They do not kuow that
every newspaper man has greater fa
cilities *& get at the inuermost life
of .men and women than has any
other agency.
More zood reading is suppressed
by newspapers tnan ever is pub
lished. A man or woman may go
wrong aud never see his or her
came in a uewspaper. It is not
that the editors have any qualms
about j'Uhlishins the story, if the
wrong is deliberate and continued.
But 'he editors take into considera
tion many things, the feelings of
relatives aud children, for instance,
innocent folk who might be indel
ibly branded because of s.a erring
husband, son or brother. Jn other
cases there might be indications of
repentance ou the part of the wrou^
doer, and the story is suppressed.
Such stories are known in the
newspaper o"ice; are discussed by
the men in the office. But not
oiue 'u a thousand times axe such
stories lepeated out of the office.
So far us scandal-monging by re
porters and editors is concerned,
there is practically none of it.
