flapjacks and presidency
(Seldovia Herald.)
Recently there was a concourse of
notables at Governor Murray’s man
sion in Oklahoma. Alfalfa Bill in
vited the, delegation to stop and have
supper with Mrs. Murray and himself.
Th'is they were, glad to do, and-joy
ously sat down to a hearty meal of
baked beans, brown bread, hot biscuits
and fried eggs.
Not Ion gago.Governor Murray held
up: the wheels of legislation t at. the
National Capital. His scheduled-.com
mittee appearance was delayed when
he1 dallied too long over a breakfast
of* flapjacks and sausages at a res
taurant en route to the Capitol.
ilb calls out the militia to take
charge of oil wells when he feels that
the peopl’s interests, because of price
conditions, require armed protection.
Alfalfa Bill Murray, mentioned for
th£ presidency, is a mountebank, say
some; a reincarnation of Andrew
Jackson, say others. We don’t know
about that. But he eats baked beans,
flapjacks and sausage; calls it "sup
per" at his house;, drops into a casual
restaurant for his “ham and”—and
catts out the State Guard when the
oil1 barons, don’t beha>*e.
None' of which will hurt bis popular
candidacy, .once he. is ahle to hurdle
th£ stiff-necked leaders. He might
not actualy change conditions.. But .of
all- receptive candidates, he oniy is
Afferent—overflowing with old-fash
ioned Americanism, superinduced,-by
baked beans and flapjacks.,
PRINTING THE NEWS.
(Hyder Weekly Herald.)
When to print a disagreeable story
anfi when to leave one out of the pa
pet is one of the most troublesome
problems of a small town editor. In
the case of a person who is unfaith
ful to a public trust, or one who is
guilty of a serious crime, it is not
difficult to decide, because the public
interests, as well as the public’s right
to'have the news, demands that it be
printed. ,
There are some cases, however, in
which the offense is entirely of a
personal nature, and in which pub
lishing the story would bring sorrow
and embarrassment to innocent per
sons without serving any beneficial
purpose. In these the making of a
prdmpt decision is often not easy. If
the story is printed, relatives and
friends of the person concerned will
feel that it is unnecessary; if it is
-i-jur."—L'-i 'j j. ju ■ i,.. ■, jl.hih,"
suppressed, the scandal monger will
be disappointed, and many will insin
uate that the editor was “bought off."
These same scandal mongers would
howl the loudest, however, if their
own shady actions were held up to
the public gazo.
So it is hard to please everybody,
and no editor of sense tries to please
•everybody. He must let his own judg
ment and conscience be his guide. If
he errs on the. side of kindness, and
sympathy, his error will be forgotten
by the more enlightened readers of
his newspaper.
LIND BERG BABY STILL MISSING

i porters: “We are dealing with the
shrewdest gang ever organized in
the United States.” In all the Curtis
