Walter Wellman, the Well-Kno- Wash-ington Correspondent, Writes of the Code of the Profession, EVEBY NEWSPAPEE MAN KN0W3 IT. Some Instances of Good and Ead Journa-lismPointers on the Men Who Mould Thought. Washington, July 14. Is there such a thing as newspaper ethics? This is a question which a series of events have brought to the front in Washington. First, a number of the ancient and proper senators thought tho newspaper men had no right to send out accounts of the proceedings of tho senate in ex-ecutive session, and they had an investi-gation which cost a good deal of money and resulted in a fine old farce. Then there came up the Cleveland-Dan- a episode in New York, which all the newspaper men and public men of Wash-ington took the keenest sort of interest iu. Finally, the press gallery commit-tee, composed of newspaper mon and :y elected by newspaper men, concluded to discipline a young correspondent who had made the mistake of sending out a brutal dispatch about the habits of a distinguished statesman. Perhaps noth-ing would have been thought or said of this incident but for the peculiar cir-cumstances surrounding it. The scone was laid at the funeral of Senator Beck in the senate chamber. According to the dispatch the states-man in question, who was a member of the funeral committee on the part of the bouse, etaggored into the chamber, fell into a seat, sat there in a dazed condi-tion, staggered ont of the chamber when the ceremonies were concluded, fell in passing down tho steps, and fell again at the railway station in attempting to board the train. This would have been brutal even if true, but it was false. While the committee of newspaper men in charge of the press gallery do not feel called upon to pass judgment on the truth or falsity of news sent out by gen-tlemen who enjoy the privileges of the gallery, nor to act as press censors in any Bort of way, they have folt it their duty to inform the public that the corps of correspondents, of whom they are the official representatives, do not indorse newspaper invasion of private life. Here we have the best of answers to the question and conclusive proof that there is such a thing as newspaper ethics. Journalism is a distinct profession, as is t, the profession of law or medicine. It ought to have its unwritten code of morals and practice. Its members are brought into intimate relationship with ' individuals daily in connection with important matters, and often with mat-ters of dolicacy as affecting reputation and peace of mind. The relationship which a lawyer bears to his client, or a doctor to his patient, is no tnoro inti-mate or important thau that which a journalist bears to the man whom he in-terviews or of whom lie writes. If there are codes of ethics for the lawyer and doctor, thoro should ba similar codes for the journalist. The journalist should know tho morals of his profession, the amenities of his business, should always feci his responsibility and appreciate the dignity of his position ' in the social fabric. Thoro is such a code in journal-ism, an unwritten code as all laws of professional ethics must necessarily be, but as yet it is indefinite and not well enough understood. Here in Washington, however, where jouniulinm is at its highost state of devel-opment in America, and that uioana iu the world, I am happy to say that the ethics of the profession, this unwritten law, is con-stantly becoming tetter understood, and. year after year is better respected. It is not enough that a Washington journalist must be a gentleman, as journalists every-where should be ho must have a sense of honor that is keen and vigilant, not Bimply as a matter of policy, but of tem-perament and training.' The days of bushwhacking journalism, of "fake" journalism, of extreme partisan and per-sonal journalism, and above all of men-dacious journalism, are at an end in the Capital City. And being at an end x here means simply that thoy are rapidly coming to an end the country over, for Washington journalism is a reflex of the journalism of the nation. It draws its inspiration and its men from the prov-- . inoes, and needs, moreover, constant re-newal of the energy that ooines from the rural press and the mon that press has graduated into the wider field. of chagrin and a broken heart. Newspaper men at Washington, as elsewhere, must keep confidences. This is one of the unwritten laws which is well understood and almost universally respected. Public men are not afraid to trust the writers. For instance, I called one recont evening on the speaker of the house. Conversation arose inci-dentally about some public men and measures, and the speaker talked very frankly, as is his wont. He criticised men of his own party in his characteris-tic savage fashion and without reserve. He made no request that this conversa-tion be considered a private one he in-stinctively knew that it was private and would not be printed or repeated. I could have created a mild sort of sensa-tion by reporting what the syeaker said, but of course I did not. Tins brings us to another phiiso of modern newspaper ethics. A man must know that he :h being interviewed for publication. The gentleman of the modern prose does not get his interviews clandestinely. All conversations not understood from the circumstances or by express agree-ment to bo for type are private. It is in applying this rule that one of the chief sources of trouble arises. The newspaper man is often puzzled to know what was intended for publication and what was not. That was the bone of contention in the Cleveland article in New York city. It is often the bone pf contention in less celebrated eases. I am proud to say for the correspondents of Washington that the public men here find little cause of complaint in this regard. The political journalist, as a rule, not only respect confidence and is intrinsically honorable, but he exercises fine discretion in win-nowing the proper and printable from the private. Eavesdropping is also tabooed. The self respecting journalist of these times will not hide himself away in closets, or glne his ear to keyholes. Rare stories aro told of the manner in which big news has been obtuiued by these means, but most of these tales are of the old days. The good senators thought the Washington correspondents must have gome such means of securing executive session secrets, but they were egregious-l- y mistaken. The modern journalist will not eavesdrop, but he will deceive. Ho will not open another man's lotter, but he will play a trick upon the other man if the man does not watch out. This matter of newspaper ethics is sometimes very intricate and difficult to understand. , The public may not be able to understand why a- - journalist; who would condemn listening at the key hole of a committee room door, could hire an employe of the government printing of-fice to steal a copy of the president's message for him, but I can understand that, though I am not going to try to ex-plain it. I would not listen at a key hole, but I would bribe a printer to steal a message for me, providing the message was worth it and the printer did not come too high. Journalists have gone out of the business of stealing president's mes-sages, but they are still eager for tariff bills. The public is alroady familiar with the manner in which the McKinley tariff bill found its way prematurely to the press. A Pacific coast correspondent borrowed the copy of a member of the ways and moans committee to write a paragraph from, and copied the whole bill with a force of six typewriters. That, in my my judgment, was fair journalism. So was the scheme sot up by a conple of bright correspondents to got an advance copy of the Mills tariff bill when the public mind was filled with curiosity concerning that measure. They knew Mr. Mills had a copy of the bill from the printing office, and that therefore the bill was in type. Their plan was to tele-phone the foreman of the printing office about 6 o'clock in the afternoon by the Capitol telephone that Mr. Mills wantod a dozen more copies of tho bill sent to his house at 8 o'clock that evening. When the messenger arrived at Mr. Mills' residonce with the package of bills one of the conspirators was to be in hiding near the door. Ho was to have a small package in his baud. The con-spirators thought that when the mes-senger rang the door bell and the servant came and opened the door there would be a fine opportunity to do business. The man in waiting was to rush up just as tho messenger left, ring the bell again, and when the servant came to the door the second time, no tioubt with the pack-age in her hand, the conspirator was to hold out his little package and exclaim: "I have left you tho wrong package. This is tho one thatbelongstoMr.Mills," and grabbing the bundle froin the ser-vant's hands beat a hasty retreat, as if trying to ovortake tho wagon, which by this time would be rolling down the street. In the package which tho con-spirator was to leave in exchange for the more precious one was to be some bill and reports, which Mr. Mills, even if he were in the house and looked them over, would not be suspicious of, as, of course, be had not expected any copies of the tariff bill and would nut be suspicious of trickery. The printing office would be satistiod that it had done its duty, and next morning two enterprising journals would contain the Mills tariff bill in full, telegraphed by their agile correspond-ents. The scheme did not work, for the simple reason that the printing office could not print the bills, and hence could not deliver them into the hands of the unsuspecting servant girl. It was a pretty plan, and I am sorry it did not work, for it was good journalism. Tho true journalist will not look in another man's desk for tho biggest pioco of news in the world, any more than a military commander will violate a flag of truce, but your good journalist will lead his enemy into ambush when he can. WALTaa Wellman. Journalism as Been at Washington has its ethics, but I do not foel competent to tell what that code of ethics is. Prob-ably no two working newspaper men would describe it alike. But there are certain cardinal features of it known to us all, and of these we may speak. One of these was violated by the young inaa who is just now fooling the discipline of lus fellows. The private lives of men and women are tabooed subjects in the newspaper practice of the capital. If this were not bo, and we all felt our-selves licensed us free lances, thousands of hearts would ache. Probably there is no place in the country where the pri-vate lives of well known persons offer such shining marks for criticism aud ex-position aa here. lean count at a mo-- I Jnent's notice at least a score of members of congress who live in a certain sonBe double lives men who have both wives and mistresses. If we were to tell what we know and make it a business to find out the things ( which we now only suspect, plenty of gray heads now held high would be hum-bled. Even women of the fairest fume would suffer. Luckily these are not le-- j gitimato subjects of uowBpapor writing. ;. ' The press is constantly growing more just and more generous. It knows how to shut ite eyes as well as to keep them open. I doubt if in our time another public man meet the fate of poor Riddle-berge- r. That senator was anything but a drunkard. He was simply a drinking man who occasionally lost his head. When intoxicated he was ugly and wiQ- - fuL There are a dozen men in congress today who have the same fault, but the press dols forbearingly with them. Had it been more lenient with Riddloberger lie might have met a more happy fate. But he was picturesque. The press seized upon his first escapade, painted it in lurid colors, gave him a reputation which at that time he did not deserve, and he fell onder the weight of obloquy thus thrust upon him. Being given the name t VLflnt in.for tfee game and finally died Growth of the Turnip Seed. The seed of a globe turnip is exceed-ingly minute, not larger, perhaps, than the twentieth part of an inch in diame-ter, and yet in the course of a few months this seed will be elaborated by the soil and the atmosphere into 27,000,-00- 0 of times its original bulk, and this in addition to a considerable bunch of leaves. Dr. Desaguliers has made some experiments proving that, in an average condition, a turnip seed may increase its own weight fifteen times iu a minute. By an actual experiment, made on peat ground, turnips have been found to in-crease by growth 13.990 times the weight of their seeds each day they stood upon it. Now York Telegram.
