A man told 118 the other day that we didn't publish all that happens. We should say we didn't, and will give a few reasons for not publishing everything we happen to know. In the first place, we have others depending on us for a living.

If we were to publish everything we know and hear we would soon be with the angels. See? It would hardly do. In order to please people must print only nice things aboat them and leave the rest 1 for the gossips. Yea, it's a fact, we dou't publish all the news. If we did.
