INDEPENDENT REPUBLI
CAN PAPER

In announcing that it will be
an independent Republican paper
does the Post -Intelligencer mean,
it will be independent of the Re-
publican party or does it mean
it will be independent in the Re-
publican party?
If the latter it has always I'M
der its present owners been more
or less independent in the party,
but has always felt duty bound
to support the Republican nomi-
nees, though they were frequent
very Objectionable. If the
former then it no longer holds

THE SHAME OF THE
PRESS

The press of the country has
kept step with the progress of
the country, up and down-up in
the size of the newspapers and
economic waste, and down in dis
regard of individual rights and
in shameless surrender to the
vulgarities of what the cheap
people, with which this country
is crowded, call the higher social
life. The yellow streak runs
not less through the press than
through the people. The shame
of the press is that it has cater
ed to the worst tendencies of a
corrupt and malodorous age, 1t
has magnified all the weaknesses
of humanity, played up" in
the language of the shop, the
indecencies of society, reveled
in the rotenness of the divorce
courts and engaged with DELHI
Grafton in the intensive cultiva-
ton of every source of scandal.
Its mission ought to be the ele-
vation of the public; instead, it
ldvertises it's degradation. Fairly

Do publishers of newspapers
permit news items and editorials
to appear in their papers, which
to them at the time are known to
to be either absolutely false or
so misleading as to completely
deceive the readers thereof?
DO publishers of metropolitan
daily papers permit their news
gathers to suppress news items,
which the public is justly entitl-
ed to know, because the publish
ing of such news items would ex-
pose a friend, a man or some
concern of vast holdings in the
community?
Do publishers Of daily papers
willingly accept any cock and
bull story and publish the same
with no greater aim to serve the
public than to sell large num-
Der of that particular issue and
otherwise advertise the paper?
Has the reading pubic no
journalistic ethics thatit demand
of newspapers to follow? Is the
public getting what it wants
when it accepts newspapers that
will publish news items without
questioning their veracity or ac-
curacy? If so, then there is
enough said.
It's no uncommon thing to hear
two persons talking about some
thing they saw in one of the met
ropolitan papers of their immedi-
ate community and conclude
with, you cannot believe what
you see in the papers, or, that
was only a newspaper account
of it."
If you cannot believe what you
see in the newspapers, then, in
this age Of progress and rapid
transit, how could you get the
news? If the newspaper ac-
count of what transpired is not
absolutely accurate and reliable
then, it is worse than useless to
publish daily accounts of events
and mishaps.
Papers should be so accurate
and in their reports of happenings
and so religiously live up to that
rule that, when you read news
item in paper it should be just
the same to you as if you had
heard it from a witness on the
stand in a court of justice testi-
flying to it under oath.
The newspaper should be the
great public educator and en-
lightner. 1t should always be free
from exaggerations, free from
inaccuracies, free from coloring
its stories so as to meet a person
al condition, and so well edited
in photography, syntax and pros
idy that the whole would be like
unto a text book.
In preaching you, dear reader,
this journalistic sermon, we have
in mind the tons of campaign
billingsgate that were sent out
to the reading public during the
late primary campaign in the
state of Washington. Other
communities may have expert
enced similar conditions. but let's
hope that, Seattle will never
again be tortured with such dis
graceful journalism.
In the campaign here referred
to the Daily Times simply outdid
it's ownself in misrepresentation
and that is saving a good deal.

obligations to no party or combi-
nation of politicians, and for in
fluence locally and otherwise the
Springfield Republican has every
other daily paper in the United
States skinned a thousand miles.
But is it possible to run an in
dependent Republican paper?
Can a newspaper be Independ-
ent and Republican at one and the
same time? In political circles are
not Independent in politics and
Republican in politics just as dia-
metrically opposed to each other
as Democratic in politics?
Independent in politics would
give the publication the moral
right to fight any party it cared
as well as dared to and having
no party allegiance it could af-
ford to dare to, but independent
Republican in politics would
mean the newspaper is tied to no
faction in the Republican party
and would fight to have the best
man nominated regardless of the
interest of the Iterests or the
dominating machine although it
would abide by the decision Of
the party.
An Independent Republican
newspaper, if such a thing is
possible, has no more right to
bolt the party choice than a reg .
ular Republican newspaper. AM
Insurgent Republican is nothing
more than an independent Re-
publican, and yet when they win
in a contest the Stand pat Re-
publicans are just as morally
bound to support the nominees
made by the Insurgents at the
primaries as if the Stand-pat Re-
publicans had have been nomin-
mated.
If the best interest of the
country is to be conserved every
metropolitan newspaper in the
United States should be Inde-
pendent in politics, and then
they would be able TO rebuke the
party lash and even the pro-
verbal big stick and advocate
the best man for the Offices.
More thieves and robbers have
gone into office under the cloak
of being the party nominee in the
Republican party than any other
party in the country. The ques-
ton about metropolitan news
papers declaring they will be in |
dependent in politics is, will they
live up to it? 1t will be remem-
bered that a few years ago
the Oregonian solemenly an
nounced that it would be indie
pendent in politics, but it went
on supporting the nominees, of
the Republican party as it had
done in the past, and when the
people of Oregon instruced the
legislature to elect that man for
United States senator that re-
ceived the highest number Of
votes and a Democrat won the
nomination, despite the fact that
the state was overwhelmingly
Republican, the Oregonian SIM
ply had political fits and tried it's
very best to have the law re-
pealed.
The acknowledgement will do
the state of Washington great
service if it will be an Independ-
ent political newspaper instead
of a hide bound Republican party

club" ''Burke's carrying every
county in the state" and all SIM
liar misrepresentation publish
ed to create sentiment for Burke
in King county was so despica-
bly, misleading that, if the peo-
pie would only think of how they
were imposed upon, the Times
would not have enough circula-
ton to justify it's owners to con-
tinue to put it out, but they will
not, and that prompts again the
question, are the readers of the
Times and similar publications,
getting what they want? If so,
enough said.
The laws of this state make it
a crime for newspapers to pub
fish commentary things about
candidates and receive pay there
for without marking the article,
paid advertisements" and yet
the Times will hardly deny that
it was paid for every line that
was published in it's columns in
the interest of Burke's cam
paign, not only committed a
crime itself, but induced others
to also commit crime.
Even the laws of the land are
flagrantly broken by the large
metropolitan papers and a defy
flung in the face of the execut-
ors Of the law, and yet such
papers are received by the read
ing public without question. He,
who condones crime, or he who
knows a crime has been commit
ted and does not make the fact
known to the executors of the
law is equally guilty in the eyes
of the law as the principal and
therefore the readers of papers,
who believe and almost know
such papers are breaking the
law, and yet patronizes them are
encouraging crime, yea not only
encouraging crime, but aiding
and abetting crime.
1t is almost time that the news
papers of the United States
were undergoing a Rooseveltian
renovation the same as the poll
tics. The public press should
not be muzzled in a sense to
cripple it and thereby do the
public more harm than good, but
the men, who edit the papers,
should be. in some manner, re-
strained from publishing news
that they know to be false and, in
many instance malicious in order
to defeat the ambitions of some
persons they had reason to diff
fer from.
But we did not set out to abuse
any particular paper and such as
has been said in that way, was
but said to. more clearly demon
strate the allegations set out in
the beginning, Recently lead
ing public man made the state
ment that, the newspapers and
magazines had no influence
with the public and that, if he
wanted to be elected to an office,
he would get all of the newspa-
pers to abusing him and then he
would feel absolutely certain of
election. He meant to say, the
readers of the newspapers Dc
not believe word they publish,
and when they abuse a man
they do so because he does

GAWLEY CONCERN IN
BANKRUPTCY
COURT

The Gawley Foundry & Ma
chine company was forced into
bankruptcy court this morning by
the filing of a petition in involun-
tary bankruptcy by the Halladie
Machine company, the Gorham
Rubber company and the Mer-
camille & Bond company.
The aggregate claims of the
three amount to over $500. They
allege that the concern is in
solvent, and that other credi-
tors are being preferred and the
property thus dissipated, and they
ask for the closing up of the af-
fairs of the company.
The business is now in the
hands of George Williamson, re-
ceiver, who was appointed some
weeks ago following the sudden
disappearance of Gawley.
GaWley was seen back in the
cit ysome time ago, but again dis

HERE is A CHANCE
FOR SHOW DOWN

Rather than give a 15-cent
round trip fare to Puyallup, Man
ager Dimmock practically declared
10 the county commissioners yes
terday that the Stone-Webst n
company would tear up it's Puy-
allup short line and quit business.
The commissioners were con-
sidering a franchise over county
roads for the line, which 1t never
had secured. The commissioners
were inclined to force the conf
pany to keep it's promise Of To-
cent? are one way and Is cents a
round trip by putting it in the
franchise.
1--WE will not accept It," said
Dimmock. Then he intimated that
the company would quit the line
before 1t would give that.
He did not want the commits
sioners to go and tear up his
tracks, however. He asked tina.
the whole matter be held up un-
til the railway commission gets
through 1t hearing on the rate
matter. He expecs this to clear
the way for the presen 40 cent
fare.
Puyallup citizens, however, are
urging the commissioners to In
sert the low fare clause in the
franchise and to tear up the com
pany's tracks over the county
roads IL the franchise is not ac-
cepted. 1t may be years before
the city can get such a club over
the street car company as the
commissioners now have and citi-
zens believe 1t is up to the COM
mfssioners to make the company
come to show down.
Should Puyallup get the 15-cent
fare the other suburban lines
could deand and get it. Regard
less of the state railroad commits
sion findings the people will de-
mand that the county Officials
stand pat now that they have the
upper hand in the fight and refuse
franchise unless he low fare is
agreed to.
