IT is said that the structures the rspu.
table newspapers are making upon The
N. Y. Journal and World for their gross
sensationallsm is proving beneficial to
these papers in financial sense as it ad
vertises them. Viewed from this stand.
point vice must pass unscathed because
to attack would popularize it.
This Is not tenable position on moral
grounds. No paper can afford to defy
moral sentiment and studlously run
counter to 1t. The journal and The
World may temporarily profit by their
notorlety, but to assert that it's ultimate
effects will be advantageous is TO argue
that human nature Is inherently bad.
Notorlety Is poor substitute for repu.
tation and its qualities are not lasting
Sensationalism is never accepted as a
steady diet except by those who have
suffered moral perversion.
