SUPPRESSING THE NEWS. Every newspaper Is frequently con
fronted by the suggestion that if a
certain matter of news is kept out of
print the public welfare will be serv ed and the public will be undisturbed
This same idea was the inspiration of the first newspapers which were In protest to an official that news should
not be given the people. It Is a theory
of the rewspaper world that the truth loses nothing by publicity and that
suppression of the news merely mag
nifie3 the facts says the Lafayette
Journal.
Five years ago the son of Marshall
Field, of Chicago, was killed under peculiar circumstances. The Chicago papers had very little to say about the case. It was explained, in an Inci
dental manner, that the young man
while loading a gun in preparation for a hunting trip, was accidently Bhot. The death of the -young man didn't occupy one-tenth the space
that was devoted to the bargain sales
( of the Marshall Field company.
The public was not satisfied with
the story that was told concerning
the death of young Marshall Field
It waa auite evident that something
was being concealed. The circum
stances of his death commenced to grow immediately and we are of the opinion that the popular Idea of the
tragedy is far more serious, and we are
quite sure it is remembered much
longer than If the facts had been
stated in the beginning.
A few weeks ago a woman who
lives on "the street called easy" ar
rested in Loa Angeles confessed that
t was she who had killed young Mar
shall Field. According to her story
the young man was shot in a resort
whose name is not mentioned in polite society from which he was re
moved before his death. She says
that she was given $25,000 to get out
of the country a few days followinf
the tragedy. But the Chicago news
papers had nothing to say about this
confession.
Had the death of young Field been
that of a prominent man in a neighboring city the Chicago papers would
have devoted columns of space to It
However the Marshall Field company
is a big advertiser and the story of
the tragedy was treated with great
care. But, beyond doubt, the suppression of the facts has made mat
ters worse .adding to the E.tory features that may not concern it and im
posing on the hicago newspapers the
charge of having violated their obligations to the public by the
promise of advertising favor. After eight years the Marshall Field inci

have been forgotten by this time.

WHY? When you come right down to brass tacks, why all this ado about Mexico, anyway? Why is either Mr. Wilson or Mr. Bryan or anyone else mixing up in the private affairs of our neighbor? Carranza, the Constitutionalist leader, an opponent of Huerta, says: "Ther are some dozen chieftains in Mexico like myself, all striving to be President. "The constitutionalist party would be glad to receive the moral
support of the United States in.
enabling us to win the presidency. "But under no circumstances would we tolerate for one minute any meddling on the part of Uncle Sam with the Internal affairs of Mexico, dictating to us who should and who should not hold office In Mexico. "Although we are all fighting against each other, we would all unite and fight for our common country the minute the first American soldier crossed the line between Mexico and the United States?" What have the jingoes who are tearing their hair over Huerta to say to that? Isn't It rather Impudent for this country to take as much for granted a sit does down in Mexico? Hammond Times.

The Day in HISTORY
FORFEITS $l,SOO CASH BOND. Cash bond of $1,500 was forfeited at
Shelbyville yesterday by Harry How
ard of Indianapolis. Ho failed to appear for trial on a charge of grand larceny. Howard and Georgo Stevenson, also of Indianapolis, were arrested here Sept. 6 by Sergt. Tolen, . who
caught them picking the pockets of
John Rleger, a wealthy farmer. After
they had been in Jail at Rushville a
