Many newspapers give three columns
to sensational divorce and three lines
to the notice of a golden wedding"
These pests OF journalists never hesi-
tate TO invade the homes of sorrow and
so picture to the world the sacred an
guish of stricken hearts. They expose
to view the long hidden skeleton found
in so many closets. They have the
audacity to pry into the affairs of the
family. We read that the Athenians
were famous for their greed for gossip,
yet even they had their limit, The dead
were as sacred to them as their gods.
In our day all personal matters are dis.
sected. The qualities of human pity
seems to have faded out OF journalism.
The reporters pry into the corners OF
the sick room and in the most indeli-
cate manner expose with revolving
minuteness the different phases of dis
ease. Even the last words OF the dying
are blaZoned in the head lines of the
newspapers. They revel in all sorts
of sensational reports. The more sem
sational the reports the more compensa-
tion they receive from the publishers.
Surs on women are looked upon as
choice morsels, to be chewed by the
public, thus pandcring to vulgar tastes
of those who have mothers, wives and
sisters to whom they are indebted for
every spark Of responsibility they pos
sess, Here nearly every man and
woman gets his or her dose OF current
slang. The demand for newspapers is
so great, host Of cheap writers enter
the field OF journalism, and the worst
feature in the case is that it is the bad
English and not the good that we find
in these papers. In this, as in other
callings, skilled workmen are scarce
and they call for high wages, There
are papers conducted by men whose
aim is to elevate and not degrade the
profession. Yet the papers that find
the most favor in the eyes OF the read
ing public of today are we'll spiced with
slang. Those containing the fullest ac-
count of the prize fight and horse race
are the most popular. TO use modern
newspaper phrase, "The articles must

calling may seem severe, we believe
our readers will youch for its truthful.

exists most in our large metropolitan

few exceptions, are free from these
evils and elevate aud better the iircsidcs
