YELLOW JOURNALISM.

The following from the lone Bulle-
tin is true as gospel, and can te &C
oeptably applied to sheet or two in
Oregon, besides the Portland News:
The jury in the libel case against
the Portland News returned verdict
of not guilty. Evidently they were
not satisfied beyond doubt that the
editor of The News was malicious
and untruthful when he called County
sioner Lightuer "plain robbers" last
January. According to the evidence
produced at the trial Commissioner
Lightner did not purchase certain
articles for the new county court house
according to the letter Of the law int
saw a more effective way of doing
the buying and at the trial il wRs not
proven that any graft" had beer
made, as was charged iy The News.
10 one who is posted on the matter,
the sensational "news' appearing in
such papers as the Portland News,
does not appeal to all. Being person
ally acquainted with the reporters Of
several such papers we know that they
are told to write up articles against
public officials or otherwise prominent
people wholly upon suspicion and with
utter disregard for the truth. These
articles appeal to those looking for sem
sational matter who accept them as
the truth. The reporter suspects some
thing; he writes 1t up as il 1t were a
proven fact the paper sells like hot
cakes on the streets and the circula.
tiou manager and publisher have at
tanned their object. Their large cir
eulation is an induoement for the ad.
vertisers to use their columns. The
publisher of any privately owned news.
paper is in the business for whatever
returns he can make on his investment
and any BUSINESS man who claims a
different motive tells an untruth.
The cry then put up by the yellow
journals that they nIe published sim
ply TO protect tho interests of the So
called common people," is delib-
crate lie, as any fair minded person
will admit On the other hand, pa
pers issued by labor unions such rs
the Portland Lator Press, never seek
TO mislead the public and do not con
duct their official organ for the pri-
mary purpose Of selling advertising

officials are exposed in their crooked
ness let tLem read reliable papers who
are after the bsolute truth, and not
read papers of the Portland News
type whose sole object is TO spread
sensational aud untruthful matter for
the purpose of gaining larger ciIou-
lation. Such papers as The News are
not flt to enter the hnmc This is tho
