An accident in connect- ion with the recent movement of un- employed to the northern part of Ortario was "covered" by one Toron- to reporter in a fashion which illus- trates the ooint.

They drove to the work crimps on the Trans-Canada High- way, beating the train, took pictures, and drove back without resting, in order that photographs of the arri- val in the north country might be reproduced in Toronto about 2(! hours after the departure of the party of workers.

The Cranbrcok Courier, however takes another view, saying that the best way to keep from being called a thief in print is to refrain from steal- ing. The Courier continue*: "Someone is always crabbing about having their name appear in the po- lice court 'docket. Generally speak- ing a newspaper contracts to give its readers the news. Filling contract is not a pleasant business when the news is bad. It must be remembered tjiat the newspaper docs not make the news and is not responsible for it. To blame the newspaper for printing bad news is no more sensible than blaming the mirror for reflect- ing the morning alter the night be- j fore, or blaming a physician for the illness cf the patient.

It had much rather report some great accomplishment of his 01 conspiciouc proof of virtue. But it cannot manufacture facts. If a man who robs a bank falls out with us for reporting the incident, he docs not thereby lessen his guilt. He might rave and rant as proof of his resentment, but he would be a roguo still. The paper is not the one to blame. Hating the paper will not hange the facts. The way to keep from being called a thief to is re- frain from stealing."
