THE FUNCTION OF A NEWSPAPER

| There has grown mp a sort of common
law of obligation, recognized mutually
| ny the press and by the people, by which
the people expect that the press, as dis
trlbutors OF useful intelligence, shall in
form them as well what is to be avoided
as what is to be sought. as well who is
to be suspected as who is to he conlided
Ill. And a newspaper, as a garncrer and
distributor of news, is public monito 7,
and 1T is its duty to ldmonish the peo-
pie against frauds and slllms, and i'm
pastures and dishonesties. 1t is to be a
beacon as we'll us guide; and whenever
a public newspaper, through its dive:si-
fled appliances for the collection and dis
trIh"ticn of information, discovers any,
where IN public life and in public avoca
tons, whether it be q lawyer, or a clergy
man, or physician, a man who, instead
OF securing the public welfare by honora-
bic methods and practices: simply prowls
about III the backyard of his profession.
and uses the means and instrumcn tall
ties which homo able title gives him to
pandcr to his own lust or avarice, or any
other vile passion, and that paper fails
to sen" out some admonitorv voice. and
sound some signal of warning, it is re-
c"cant to every principle of duty and re-
sponsibility, and should DC stfgmatized
by the public it prctcnds to REPRESENT
ana to serve.
a newspaper, however, has no right. in
its cndcavors to minister to the public.
to sacrifice public character. Tire public
too has stake in the good name of its
and he Who def:,mcs a GOOD
citizen does it at his own peril. The
public press should inculcatc the scnti-
merit that he who maliciously or wilfullv !
or wtrtonly or carelcssly even, and false
w charges q man with q crime, is q foe |
tosoclety, and an enemy to the law.
The law recognizes this, and always has,
so that from the earliest history of cult
"atlon, and in the rudest stages of civili-
ty, we have found that the law furnished
projection to every man in the full and
complete enjoyment OF Il wcll-rarued
regulations,
