AN ABUSE OF JOURNALISM.
Just Condemnation From the Editorial
Pages OF "Once a Week."


A melancholy example of the abuse OF
the newspaper power and privilege was
Furnished last week by the various ac-
counts, which appeared in nearly all the
daily papers, of an escapade tn which
two young girls, mere children, and
daughters of respectable parents, were
somewhat sadly compromised There was
unfortunately rather startling aspect
OF the affair which appealed In a special
way to the ready and not over-nice i'm
aginatdon of THE average city reporter
Accordingly the story of these two mis-
guided children, written out with as
much elaboration OF detail as II they
were city aldermen In disgrace, filled
column or more OF the Herald, World,
Journal. and other daily papers. One OF
these papers as n to make sure that her
Identity would be established beyond q
question, and that no shred OF reputation
might be left her to begin life with again,
published the portrait OF one OF the little
girls.
No honest man can contemplate with
oub disgust and aIbhorrence this readi-
ness OF so-called respectable journalism
to lend itself to the ruthless task OF ruin
ing young life which has been more or
leSs compromised. 1t Is true, by first
false step. hut only In the knowledge of
a limited number OF persons. Instead
OF seeking to cover with the mantle OF
charity those youthful peccadilloes, and
OF giving the offenders a chance to profit
by judicious correction and punishment.
the favorite plan OF the modern news
paper Is to shut the door OF repentance
in the face Of every delinquent, however
youthful. by branding the childish fore
head with shame too deep ever to be
ettaced.
What chance remains in the world for
"A girl OF II or Is whose picture has been
haunted In all The papers along with
o detailed account OF her disgrace? Who
among all the respectable people she may
ever have known will care, after such a
smirching OF her name, to associate with
or even to recognize her again2 Where
can she hide her head from the relentless
nnger OF scorn pointed at her since the /
day when the record OF her sin was sfiung !

1t ls not she alone VINO is made 10 suffer,
but her family for whom the tortures
caused by her wayrwan1ness are multiplied |
thousand-fold by the unnecessary end |
heartiess exposure OF their trouble.
The right OF the daily papers TO publish |
news Is indlsputabae, and the right OF the |
public to be kept informed Of events OF |
Importance and interest Is none the lessl
so. But 1t Is an Insult to the intelligence |
OF any American community to pretend |
that the naughtiness Of two children who |
run away from home on foolish esca-
pade 10 a topic worthy OF serious discus
