Guide For
Newspaper Men

     An insight into our late (newspaper) president's character will be gained by reading his instructions to reporters and writers on the Marion "Star." They are as follows:
     Remember there are two sides to every question. Get them both.
     Be truthful. Get the facts.
     Mistakes are inevitable, but strive for accuracy. I would rather have one story exactly right than a hundred half wrong. Be decent, be fair, be generous.
     Boost -- don't knock. There's good in everybody. Bring out the good and never needlessly hurt the feeling of anybody.
      In reporting a political gathering give the facts, tell the story as it is, not as you would like to have it. Treat all parties alike. If there is any politics to be played, we will play it in our editorial columns. Treat all religious matters reverently.
      If it can possibly be avoided, never bring ignominy to an innocent man or child in telling of the misdeeds or misfortunes of a relative.
     Don't wait to be asked, but do it without the asking, and above all be clean and never let a dirty word or suggestive story get into type. I want this paper so conducted that it can go into any home without destroying the innocence of any child.

Jolt For The Old Folks

     Two perfectly good 19th century Presbyterian grandparents visited a married daughter, an additional attraction being a cherubic grandson, age 4, Johnny isn't his name but will do. When Johnny came home from Sunday school, the first Sunday after the old folks got there they wanted to know what he had learned that morning. "Oh, nothing much. Just that Jesus loves you and stuff like that." The old folks haven't gotten over it yet.
