The Independent, Spokane's new
weekly paper, came from the press
today and is being generally circu-
lated through the city, the aim of
the publishers being to place a
copy of the paper in every Spokane
home. Its editorial announcement
reads:
Every effort and precaution will
be taken to make the Independent
breezy, clean, honest and truthful.
There is enough news which is
fascinating reading that does not
abuse citizens or demoralize wom-
en- and children, as we'll as the
men. The Independent will not
prey upon the misfortunes of the
unfortunate, will not spread scan
dial. nor gloat over every discovery
of crime and shame"
Its first issue lives upon the high
standard of clean matter set for
itself, but there is great doubt as
to the fascinating" quality of the
reading furnished.
