THE Press, Pulpit and Pew The
trend of his remarks was to sh ow that
all true moral reforms must begin in the
pews. The pulpit would then voice the
sentiment, which would find powerful
auxiliary in the press. Newspapers are
business enterprises and the publishers
appeal To- the news instincts of their

the news in the daily papers was deplor-
ably pernlcious, but suited to the taste
OF those who patronized the papers for
that sort of liz, nature. rhe newspapers
want subscribers and advert sers wanted
to reach them and in order to secure
readers the papers largely reflect the pre-
vallng opinions OF the particular local
ity. The manager of the North akima
opera house recently told the speaker
that the class of shows brought here was
in accord with the popular taste. If a
high class entertainment came along it
was usually greeted with "a beggarly
account of empty benches" while The
other performances had standing room
only" As with the newspapers, SO
cheap periodicals and novels were per-
verting the minds of the young. What
was wanted was an old fashioned revi-
val of common sense and common piety
in the pews and the pulpit and the press
would make with them a triumvirate
that would reform the world.
