EDITOR’S CODE It Is interesting to note how the average newspaper writer’s convic tions about his own code of conduct seem to be universal, even in coun tries in which the "freedom of the press” has never been developed as a legal principle. An instance is the case of Joseph Dennlgan, political writer for Eamon de Valera’s newspaper, The Irish Press, who has refused to disclose to a military tribunal in Dublin to day the source of information on which he wrote that members of an association banned by the govern ment would have a short period of grace to abandon membership. Court adjourned to allow Mr. Den nigan to communicate with his tail tor. When the session resumed he maintained his attitude of refusal, was sentenced to a. month’s imprison ment and was removed from the court by a military escort. Not a year goes by that we do not have such cases popping up in out own courts, our boasted freedom of the press to the contrary A writer publishes something to embarrass the great or to suggest a leak in confidences given in Inner circles. The publication may be in all respects true and something it is desirable that the public know, but the courts in such instance* are all too ready to insist that the source of the information be disclosed. Tbo editor worth his salt in such case flatly refuses to obey orders and a judge trying to make good a threat sentences him to jail for contempt. It is not to be imagined that news papers in the Irish Free State enjoy freedom of the right to print news and to make comment, as wc- under stand it. But a free press is on the way even there when there can be found editors as Dennigan possessed of the mora' courage not to. betray confidences, even if jai Idoois open on the reffusal. A priest cannot be compelled to disclose what is said in the confes sional. A lawyer or a doctor can hold sacred the confidential com rnunlcation of a client. Why, if the freedom of the press is to he a real thing, should not the editor have the right to print in the public interest truths with which he would not have been entrusted except under the pledge of secrecy?

Earl Roebuck, white man, alias Pat Patterson, was convicted of bigamy and was sene to State Prison for five years. He was one of a trio of white men and a white woman held here early last month on char ges of the theft of overcoats from the vestibule, of the First Methodist church on a Sunday night. He claimed the woman with him was his wife. Last week another woman appeared against him in police court here and said she was his wife and married to the man before the second woman. The three men were sent to the roads for 30 days on charges of the theft of the overcoats, and the woman was freed at that time. She had earlier brought charges of attempted crim inal assault against a Raleigh attor ney, but later admitted the charge was false. James L.

At noon the court was trying Amy Taylor and Tom Owen, Jr., on charges of store breaking. A true bill was returned by the grand jury against Alex Hargrove, colored, for manslaughter, in connec tion with the death of bis eight-year old son, who died at their Townsville home early last week after excessive drinking of liquor and exposure, ac cording to the findings of the coron er’s jury. Samuel T. Hatfield, colored, was Newspapers Praised For Holding Nation Together During Depression Years New Haven, Conn., Jan. 8. —(AP) — The newspaper was hailed today by Dean Carl W. Ackerman of the Co lumbia school of journalism as “the chief unofficial activity which held the nation together” during the de pression. He lauded American reporters and editors in a Block foundation lecture at Yale as "understanding interpret ers of the newest developments every where.” “Invariably,” he said, ‘‘days, weeks and often months in advance of offi cial announcements, there have been forecasts or discussions in the press of governmental plans and policies, which in retrospect are commendable for their insight and comprehension.” He cited several instances and said: “In fact, on a number of occasions the Associated Press had to reprint and redistribute information which it had previously used but which had not registered on the public consciousness “In 1921 Melvile E. Stone, the builder of the Associated Press wrote that out of the newspapers’ abstract and brief •chronicle of the day is cre ated a reservoir of fact from which the wise historian might well draw his interpretations and deductions. The future historian may use the newspaper records of 1933 with even greater confidence.” Describing the service rendered by newspapers during the depression, Dean Ackerman said: ‘‘From the discouragement, the de spair and the disasters of 1932. there developed in 1933, not only a hew deal in government and new hope in the people, but a new standard of news values. “Economic and financial develop ments became first-page news because Mother Fight* Parole l . v:- ; : . ' t r Robert Stroud Asserting that “he is better oft where he is,” Mrs. Elizabeth Stroud, of Kansas City, has re fused to sign a petition asking a parole for her son, Robert Stroud, above, who is serving a life sen tence for murder at the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kas. Bird fanciers of the country are cir culating the petition for Stroud, who has been raising canaries in his jail cell charged with manslaughter in a true bill returned by the grand jury, grow ing out of the death of a hitch-hiker riding on a truck he was driving and which was in collision with a wagon load ol tobacco near Middleburg early one morning weeks ago. A true bill charging forgery of a check on the Vance hotel was return ed against Randolph Grant, alias Raul, alias Grate. DABNEY MS 2 ( .'V _ County Girls Win 25-12 But Boys Lose to Visitors by 25-12 Score Dabney divided a (win bill with Sitem here last night with (he girls winning 25 to 12 and (lie boys losing to Stem 25 to 12 on the obi Baplist church court. Coach Speer started her second team against Stem and they played the visitors on even terms until in the late stages of the game when they gave way to the regulars, who pushed on to cop the victory. G. Par ham and Harte were the leaders with nine points each. Haskins led the visitors with eighl points. The boys game was won easily py Stem, the visitors never being se riously threatened. Brazil is one of the most impor tant pig-rearing countries of. the world. Together they were vital to the welfare of man kind and essential to the life of every human being. But the most signifi cant fact from the standpoint of jour nalism is that newspaper editors and writers were prepared for the change in public problems and news interest. Each day, as a part of their journal istic responsibility .they had been pre paring themselves for any emergency which might develop out of that stream of public affairs which makes the news of the day. “This journalistic alertnes x x x,” he asserted, “has made the newspaper what it has been throughout the de pression—the local point of national interest; the proving ground of public opinion; the central agency of public understanding; the chief unofficial activity which held the nation to gether in a crisis.” The philosophy of journalism was defined by the speaker as “a continu ous search for knowledge of the truth in a life of action.” “Applied to the conduct of the newspaper,” he said, “it is the con tinuous distribution of the knowledge acquired, which is circumscribed only by the human limitations on our knowledge and vision of life.” Dean Ackerman warned that “des potism and dictatorship will follow inevitably the control and centraliza tion of public information,” and listed research as one of journalism’s needs of tomorrow—“research in all of the relationships between the daily news paper and the social order.” Such research, he said, “should be directed toward making the newspa per more valuable in society both In supplying the information which is the basis of public opinion and in fa cilitating the crystallization of pub lic opinion in time of a crisis.” Another Snake Not Dead Until Sun Down!

Stevenson and Dowling led the Mid dleburg girls’ attack, getting 20 and 17 points respectively. Floyd scored all of Zeb Vance’s points. Mabry and Currin turned in nice floor games for the winners while Watkins was the best that the losers had to offer. Zeb Vance boys got off to an early start and were leading Middleburg at the half whistle, but the lead was short lived when the winners pushed ahead to stay until the final whistle. Robertson led Middleburg with six points, while N. Hight top the losers witii four points. Grissom and Breed ove very good floor games for Middleburg as did Smith for Zeb Vance.
