The Evil Influence of the Yellow Press.
The mother who is conscientiously try
mo 70 bring up her children to be right
thinking and clean minded is confronted
with obstacles which in some instances
seem insurmountable, and among them
tLa greatest is the influence of the SEN
safional press, which not only does not
scrupie 10 spread upon its pages the
grossest examples of the moral leprosy
If our race, but uses illustrations to EN-
phasize the least sayory portions of the
narratives. Few sadder or more dis
0uiating sights are afforded in large cit
les than that or young girls and boys on
their way to and from their daily work
on the cars and ferry boats, fairly de-
yourins with eyes and understanding
the suggestive accounts of divorces, MUIR
der trials. suicides and other things of
like deplorable nature. Not only is the
taste of the young Initiated by feeding
on these sensational incidents to the ex-
clusion of those that relate to the high
er achievements of the race, but famili-
arity with such subjects tends to break
down the reserve that should exist be-
tween the sexes. with the result that
boys and girls come to discuss matters
that should be outside the domain of
their general conversation.
When the majority of parents awake
to an appreciation of the scientific fact
that thoughts are things-po potential Gre
alive energy-they will understand bet
ter than most of them do now that if
right living is to be accomplished it must
be preceded all through life by right
thinking, and that whatever tends to de-
base Imagination will inevitably react
on conduct. Indeed, it is because many
of the more enlightened already keeaiy
realize the close connection between
mind and action that there is coming
to be an ever more insistent demand that
the demoralizing influence of the yellow
press be curbed. 1t is the custom to in
sist that a large public demands this
journalistic sewerage, but those mainly
responsible for officially unsound jour
naism are the reputable people-states-
men, artists and authors-who by sell
ing or giving their opinions or products
by so much condone The wholly indefen-
" l. IL
morals of the people. And even more
responsible are those reputable mer-
chants and other trades people who adj
vertlse their wares in these vpernici0us
Sheets If deprived of the financial aid
furnished by the advertiser. the yellow
press would either fall by the way
through lack of ability to pay expenses
or be forced to furnish such editorial
matter as the self-respecting portion of
4 the community sanctions, and therefore
4 the most effective way of reformation
although of course a difficult one, would
be to develop public sentiment so pow
erfu against those who lend their sup
port to the yellow papers as to make
them realize that they are held account
able for a share of its deplorable educa-
ton in vice and crime.
No respectable merchant would coun-
tenance those persons who make a bust
ness of peryerting the young by means
Of pictures and books, to the extent of
giving them advertising, and yet is he in
any better company when he supports
the yellow press, which is equally blame
worthy and vastly more far reaching in
the extent of its evil influence ?-Vogue
