The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1913-05-21

The worst class to contend with is the
kind who want some one written up"
or roasted" Such parties always
have adversaries who, likewise, want
them handled editorially, and thus it
goes. The newspaper man finds him.
self constantly between the upper and
the neither milestone and, through
years of experience, he becomes an
artful dodger.
The man who wants somebody else
roasted never takes into consideration
the editors side of the case. Suppose
an editor, responding to what he
thinks is popular Glamour, loses bust
ness by it? Suppose, in the course of
human events, he goes to the
clamorers and says: Gentlemen, in
the course of human events, l find
have so crippled my trade that l am
unable to accumulate enough money
to pay the force on Saturday even
ing, and l want to take up col
lection"
He would hear something like this ::
"Why, you cross-eyed, measly, worn
out dude, what do you take us for?
You mark of misery, if you haven't
sense enough to run business and
make some money out of it, you had
better quit. We cannot be responsible
for your financial failure. We sub.
scribe for your old sheet, pay you a
dollar a year, and look what we get!
The idea of asking such thing of us.
You had better go south and eat
clay, and get far enough into the equa
torial belt so you will need no cloth
ing to keep you warm! II the ghost
cannot walk at your joint on Satur-
day evening you had better saw off,
close up, quit the business, vamoose
and clear out. Maybe then We could
get somebody who would give us a
little news occasionally"
The average newspaper man is in
the business to makera livelihood. He
is in the profession the same as the
groceryman or the clothier. What
would you think of your banker, if,
every time you entered his place, he
RECALLED you with a mess of stuff
about some of his enemies, or folks
who patronized the other banks? You
would call him a fool-and you would
hit the bulls eye.
A newspaper should give the legit-
innate news. Now get that word
legitimate under your hat. Rotten
scandal has no place in decent
paper. A paper should be clean and
pure enough for the sons and daugh-
ters of the household to read it with
out receiving any conception of the
seamy side of life. The young come
in contact with plenty of impurity,
without having it served to them by
newspapers, notwithstanding mottos
