Show Keep it out of the paper, is the cry which the local newspaper publisher pub-lisher .daily hears. To oblige often costs considerable, though the party who makes the request thinks the granting hardly worth saying thank you for. A newspaper is a peculiar thing in the eye of the public. The newsgatherer is stormed at because he gets hold of one item and Is abused ab-used because he does not get another.. anoth-er.. Young men and often young women, as well as older people, perform per-form acts which become legitimate items for publication and then rush to the newspaper office and beg the editor not to notice heir escapades. The next day they condemn the same paper for having published an item about another party doing the same thing they were guilty of, forgetting apparently their late visit to the printing office.
