than "a mere statement that such a

any kind" says the Topeka Capital
The intention OF the senator is, of

newspapers TO exploit every news

And the worst of ii is that the policy
OF eXaggerating in news way the
importance OF emotional or criminal
occurrences does not end simply in
catering 70 morbid tastes or emotions
or sentiment but IL cultiyates these
undesirable human tendencies. The
taste for morbid reading grows by
what IL feeds on and iu a community
OF 100 million people il is evident
that any newspaper at any time may,

While this vice OF some newspap-
ers is universally condemned, IL is ans
other matter TO tie all newspapers
up in rigid ordinace such as the
California senator proposes. Not only
IS the bin such a restraint of the
press as would probably be wiped OF
the statutes by the courts, but it ig-
nores the positive daty that newspap- |
