In the career of every newspaper
writer there come many Instances
wherein It Is necessary for him to
choose between a plain duty and a
conscientious desire. Despite the
general opinion in such case, the av
erage newspaper man often hesitates
to do that which bis profession nec
cslstates bis doing and In almost
every case where there are thoae
who will be Indirectly concerned ad
versely does he weigh the feeling of
those Interested against the sacrifice
lie must make to suppress the news.
At times his verdict meets wKh popu
lar, seldom universal, favor and at
other times he Is condemned more
than he Is praised for the position he
took, but, nevertheless be must do a
duty aa be sees It.
In a recent issue of The Herald it
became necessary to print things
which without a doubt brought sad
ness to several prominent homes
within our city, and certainly added
nothing to the pleasure the writer
takes lu newspaper work but, there
was no other course. For those
directly concerned we had no partic
ular sympathy for the families of
those' connected with the ordeal we
entertained great consideration and
had it appeared that a suppression of
the news would have alleviated their
sorrow we certainly would have aald
nothing. People err often times
without real consciousness of the
i tatus of their acts, but when they
repeatedly and wilfully ,&o those
things rgatnat which they are warn
ed and regardless of the feelings of
ethers there can be no reasonable ex
cuse for the expectation of leniency.
Then the newspaper, like the court,
Is compelled to fulfill its duty. The
Herald, though hesitant as regards
many cases, endeavors to print the
news as It happens and without fear
cr favor. It may be that V ahall
i6t please, all In such effort, but in
very case it will be found entirely
considerate of the real facts and dla
regardful of flimsy excuses purport
ing to be just cause for suppression
of such news as it Is the duty of the
real newspaper to publish.
The, Herald prints all the news.

"It makes no difference how much
the league may be changed from the
form In which it was originally pub
lished; so long as it remains a rider
and parasite upon the treaty Itself
Its defeat is foreordained,' says Mr.
Bourne.
Some of these Senators have al
ready resorted to qualification and
equivocation to escape the effects of
the "round robin." The whole trend
of events makes it inconceivable that
most of them will not depart from
the fatuous pledge they made in the

their educational system, but the

such a staggering percentage of
aliens and Illiterates. Being able
neither to read nor write, these il

Senate File No. 23, passed by the
List state legislature of Nebraska,
Makes It compulsory for the village
or city clerk in cities and villages
under forty thousand in population j
to publish the proceedings of the
council of board of trustees in a
iiewspaper published In the city or
village, such publication to be within
thirty days after the -meetlug, the
rate for publication to be the same as
fixed by law for the publication of
county proceedings.
The same law makes It compul
sory for the treasurer to publish a
detailed itemized statement of the
receipts and expenditures, such
statement to be published annually.
While thia new law adds to the
work required of the clerks of towns,
villages and cities under 40,000 pop
ulation, it is nevertheless a good
thing. It will require the publica
tion of a list of all claims allowed
and a detailed statement of the pro
ceedings of the council or village
board.
