bers have come to realize by, daily read-1 12 - England no doubt loves uadearly, but

with the daily newspapers ofother citise.1 covered .that fact in its entiretjr cayi

that the Gazette can berrelied upon to
have the pews when , it is news,, as, ac-
curately and fully as to Important de-
tails as is obtainable .through any
newspaper. The pleasure of knowing
that ' our ' endeavors are thus v appre
ciated is-the reward .we cherish. In
contrast to this general- sentiment ""is
the unkindcomment , of - a than whO
wrote to the Gazette yesterday, after
disapproving of an item of local news;
My - second request as a, subscriber ; is
that' you should entertain at" little more
regard. as to. accuracy v in -your--war
news, without" having to contradict
yourself .almost every day." The in
sinuation, 'is a reckless ; one, and if its
writer were an editor, such recklessness
would have to .be curbed with a strong
hand and a blu'e pencil of truth would
die daily from hisv handst An evi
dence of the necessity: of this restraint
appears in another, item in this corres
pondent's letter as follows: "I am sor
ry to find you supporting and upholding
this telephone and other monopHea in
their mutilation . and final - destruction
of our shade trees li this city." "The
Gazette has jiever- done anything . of
the kind. Not a - single line in any
t . ....
issue of this paper has ever inclined in
the direction indicated. Every , reader
of the daily newspapers, who possesses
and uses ordinary intelligence can re
cognize the fact that whiTe much of the
information j published t regarding the
war, especially -as ?ta ?J coming- events
and military plans, is .contradictory,
his 'i daily reading of J any honest news
paper enables him to know .witb ac
curacy -what . isioecuring daily in the
great .drama of war, with forecasts
gathered by; astute and -careful men
who are In touch with the best possible
sources of 1 inf ormatloni, y It should- re
quire no superhuman intelligence to
discover the reason for a contradiction
between information sent out from Mad
rid and Washington? from Blanco
and Sampson, 'or-that even our gov
jernment "offlcials a should . . occasionally
find it to their interest to give out mis
leading statements -as tor their inten
tions. ; No honorable newspaper man
desired anything more; than Hhat' Ihls
reports should be true-r-true to llif e and
its absolute realities.' They are tireless
in their efforts . to reach this goal. , In
times of battle they wilf cheerfully risk
their lives to, see - with their own eyes;
