Henry Watterson of the Louisville
the old school journalists and a pic
turesque figure alike in politics and
journalism, does not believe in the
permanence of yellow journalism, and
gives his reasons for not believing in
that sort of thing as follows:
The yellow journal cannot, in my
opinion, last. In time people will be-
come familiar and grow tired OF its
tricks and its manners. Sausages of
dog-meat, though never so highly sea-
soned, will after while sicken all but
the coarsest stomach-particular
| when sausages are known to be made of
dog meat. The general public will be
| educated to understand the difference
between sensational and fake matter
and legitimate and reliable news.
Spawning headlines will no longer
suffice to carry fabricationS and exag-
gerations, and will cease to provoke
curiosity and therefore to make talk
and attract attention. READERS Will
mark the false statement of today
which must be corrected or ignored to-
morrow, and will require of their news
paper, as of their butcher and their
baker, straight food and fair dealing.
Col. Watterson further remarks that
the modern newspaper is playing too
much the part of the detective and pry-
ing into what should be the rights of
private life Moreover, he thinks
that the disposition is to consider every
accused man or woman guilty, until he
or she can prove their innocence. re-
versing the law maxim that every man
is innocent till he is prOyen guilty.
