to prohibit the publication in newspapers of the details OF
crimes, executions, burnings lyncings etc. taboo
ing all reports of police court proceedings and criminal
trials goes entirely too far Such newspaper the
senator would produce under this remarkable bill is
which he certainly would read himself.
There is another feature of his bill, however, which
should have been made separate and enacted
into law 1t prohibits the printing in the newspapers of
advertisements of medicines warranted to certain
diseases.
There should be a law in this state and all other
states to stop the printing of vile advertisements.

Spokane and other communities make of this kind of
advertising to prey the public.
The Press at time carried the advertisements OF
of the advertising doctors who cared to take space
in the paper provided their advertisements decent
in tone 1t also carried patent medicine advertising.
Being fna convinced, through numerous revelations,
of the damage that this class Of advertising does, The
Press threw all out regardless of the financial loss, ahd
has since refused advertisements of this class
The Press is the only newspaper i'll Spokane today

Truly, the drunkard the thief and the liar will have

emerald rings have been used. They show to
