A DEADLY MENACE AND
PUBLIC SENTIMENT.


The presence of. flies is disgrace to
any community. 1t is all right to en-
gage in crusades to kill the beasts, but
it is far better to look to it that the
breeding places are abolished. Flies
breed chiefly in stable manure, street
dirt and garbage. The presence Of a
large number Of flies around any one
place is sure sign of filth being some
where in the vicinity.
When people come to realize that
fies mean filth and filth means crimi-
nal negligence degree of disgrace
will attach to the presence Of fies

If the freedom of the press is vio-
lated by requiring the publisher to
swear to his circulation figures, then
individual liberty has been Destroy
ed by requiring that package of
food shall bear statement of the
net contents. If it is unconstitution-
al to require honest measure in ad-
vertising space, it is also unconstit-
utional to compel the coal dealer to
use honest scales. Have we all these
years maintained inspectors of the
weights and measures in violation of
the personal liberty of our citizens?
Let the critics of this law make an
swer.
In conclusion the law relating to
newspapers had its origin in condi-
tions in the newspaper world very
similar to manufacturing conditions
which forced the enactment of the
pure food law requiring that pack
ages of food be branded with the
name of the packer, that the net
weight be printed on the package,
and that certain regulations as to
purity be complied with.
1t is astounding to the average in
dividual that newspapers and periodi-
Gals pretending to deal fairly with
their subscribers could to any extent
find fault with an act of congress
which is aimed not against any hon
est, honorable. and square-dealing
publication, but against those irres-
ponsible and dishonest publications
which have been the greatest menace
to the good standing and influence
Of the press. ~ ss'~
Just as it should be the desire OF
the legal profession to rid itself of
shysters, just as it should be the ef-
fort of the medical profession to rid
itself of quacks, so it should be the
persistent effort of upright pournal-
ism to rid itself of all those publica-
tions that are issued under false pre-
lenses, that deceive the public by
printing advertising matter as news
matter, and that defraud advertisers
by misrepresenting their circulation.
The legal profession and the medical
profession are today Justly suffering
from the fact that they make no eff
fective effort to eradicate shysters
and quacks. In the same way jour-
nalism is today in desrepute because
the upright and justly Influential
newspaper and periodicals do not
join in determined effort to drive
out the unworthy members of what
has been rightly called the Fourth
Estate"
