On many occasions since the question of reciprocity came before the public, the Daily News has pre sented editorial articles dealing with the subject. In every instance personalities were avoided. Our object has always been to appeal to the reason of our readers by a logical presentation of facts and figures. Many of our readers have expressed their appreciation of our handling of the subject. Several of the leading newspapers in the Dominion did us the honor of reprinting some of the articles. It is our intention throughout the present campaign to continue to avoid personaliti .s and let the facts about reciprocity make their own appeal. But there are times when a newspaper Owes it to its readers to deal with personalities. Such an occasion for instance is when a candidate for electoral honors, mekes the supposed probity and ex- cellence of his personal character the basis of his appeal to the public. When cant and hypocrisy parade themselves before the public, it is the newspaper's duty to tear the mask away, and let the public see the real character of the person behind the mask. In Saturday’s issue of the Evening Empire a long editorial article appeared, explaining how Alderman Newton, editor of the Empire and writer of the article came to nominate himself for Comox-Atlin. It represented that the recent Conservative Convention held in the city was packed by ‘‘tinhorns, blacklegs and gamblers;,’’ sixty- two of whom were in the pay of a man whom it says: ‘“‘if he had his just deserts would be breaking stone down at New Westminster.” Claiming that it was only as a sacrifice on the altar of morality that he offered himself, Alderman Newton explains his remarkable action in nominating himself for Comox-Atlin, and his efforts to secure the party’s support. The News is not authorized to answer the accusations made against Mr. Goodman. Nor has the News any authority to speak on behalf of the local Conservative party. The News has never professed to speak for the local Conservatives. It has strong differences with them on the question of the Provincial land laws and on the question of reciprocity. But those questions it is prepared to debate in a manner becoming gentlemen. And the News—however strongly it may fight against Conservative political theories—knows the members of the local Conservative party only as gentlemen. So far as we know, Alderman Newton is the only ingrate aad political assassin amongst them. But in the very issue of the newspaper in which Alderman New- ton parades his incorruptible virtue, are two clear evidences of Alder- man Newton's real character. The public may read for themselves, and decide whether the Incorrupiible One is an honest man or not. On the front page of the Empire are two stories. One is headed “Unfair Tactics by Laurier Government,”’ and the other ‘‘Atiiiude of Premier McBride.”. Both are despatches from the Canadian Press Corporation, of which the Daily News is a charter-member. The identical despatches came to the News and Empire offices alike. The first story reads in the original despatch “Laurier Govern- ment made strategic move in the interests of reciprocity, ete.’’ In that form it appears in the News. . In the Empire office the story was wilfully altered io read ‘‘Lau- rier Government made unfair move in the interests of reciprocicy,” and on the lying alteration, the lying headline was built. The second story was even more artistically treated. The Empire gave the original despatch telling that the Liberals regarded Premier McBride's action in declining to enter the Federal field, as indicating his belief that there was no chance of defeating the Government on the reciprocity issue. But it added a paragraph to the Canadian Press Despatch which was not in the original. It is the para- graph sub-headed ‘‘Conservative Explanation.” This paragraph is a fake from start to finish. It is not a part of the original des- patch, and was never sent out by the Canadian Press Corporation. It probably was concocted in the Empire office. An individual who lies commits a contemptible enough act, but it is not nearly so contemptible as the newspaper that lies. A news- paper is under a solemn obligation to its readers to print the truth. To alter a despatch is to poison the well of truth at its source. It is an act of treason against its readers. ee! The crime is the greater because Alderman Newton is a candidate for Comox-Atlin as an opponent of reciprociiy. The Incorruptible One has been caught at the game of trying to get into office by sub- verting the truth about reciprocity in his newspaper. He is a political gambler—playing the game with a stacked pack. Alderman Newton has presented an ultimatum to the Conser- vative party. He has threatened that unless they do certain things satisfactory to him, he will continue his candidacy. The News offers an ultimatum to Alderman Newton.

You understand, madam, that your husband will be arrested and tried for the death of the man who What you say may But if you acted from criminal, to looked she said. see me said as lies before us? be used in evidence. think that he has motives which and which he would wish to have known, then you cannot serve him better than by telling us the whole story.” ‘‘Now that Gorgiano is dead we said the lady. ‘‘He are not fear nothing, there can be no judge in the world who would punish my husband for having killed him.” ‘In that case,”’ “my suggestion is thac we lock A REMINISCENCE THE ADVENTURE OF THE RED CIRCLE THE DAILY NEWS BY ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE this as we door, leave things found them, go with this lady to her room, and form our opinion after we have heard what it is that she has to say to us.”’ Half an hour later we were} seated, all four, in the small sitting-roém of Signora Lucca, lis- tening to her remarkable nar- rative of those sinister events, the ending of which we had chanced to witness.
