SitV 'V •V'" Hearsay and idle rumor are not safe news for a reliable paper to use, and legitimate news gathering is not the easy matter many read ers of a paper imagine says an exchange. Not only must the reporter be altert to secure all that is going on, but he must verify every item to let no false statements get into his paper. The credibility of a newspaper is a large part of its stock in trade and, if it has the confidence of the people, half the battle is won.|H The Kulm Messenger has figur ed the following out Friday at sunset the world will be 5669 years old, according to the He brew reckoning of the Bible. On that day begins the great holiday period of the Jewish year with the festival of Rosh Hoshonoh This festival is observed by orthodox Jewes throughout the world for two days. In all synagogues on Friday evening and Saturday morning, services will be held. On Saturday, October 10th, occurs the beginning of the festival of Sunroth orTabernacles,which con tinues for eight days. This festi val commemorates the dv&liug of HwrtUdieo-rf Ij«,l in i\l "s- t.V 1 .jm 7-Room 5-Room nacles during the- forty years in the wilderness- Last spring when a number applied for their citizenship papers questions were asked them and their answers given in the Leader which showed the lack of knowledge some had of our laws. Court has just convered in Dickinson and the Recorder has the following to say about ap plicants in that locality: Some queer answers were given to the questions asked by the govern ment's representatives to the applicants for citizenship papers. Here are a few of them: "Where is the capital of the state" A. "Hebron." "Who makes the laws of the state?" A. Simpson and Burke." "How many have you in your family?" A. "Six head." Many more such cases might be sighted but we feel that this is sufficient" to show the ur gent need of the legislature to provide some form of an educa tional qualification for citizenship as is provided for by the amend ment to the constitution passed sevetal years ago and which no legislature has dared to take up for fear of offending their con stitutents, which, says the legisla ture shall pass an act defining the' qualifications to conform with the intent of the amendment.:^^®s I.
