Newspapers and News

The Advance heartily sympathizes with the
attitude of the Fort Hin club whose Communi-
cation appears this page today, against the
publication of accounts of immoral happenings
This paper does not of course, attempt to dodge
the fact that it is included among those which
are considered offenders by the club The ques
ton Is then to be asked of newspapers:
why do you mention or print anything about
immoral unpleasant happenings"
TO those who, not ConNcrSdnt with the
business of getting out newspaper the answer
is probably difficult to make clear. Let it be
said at the outset that newspapers, except
those who plainly cater TO the morbid element,
desire to print offensive matter in their columns
and that newspaper editor reporter outside
of that class in any way welcomes the happen
ing of event of the character to which ref
erence is made The business Of a newspaper.
however, is to primarily tell accurately
possible what happens from day to day. That
is its first duty as commercial enterprise
Every decent newspaper recognizes this duty
Of service to the public, and il also realizes
hat the publication of certain happenings
cannot be written in such a way as do harm
or do good, The publication of these happen
ings in the right way--With the purpose OF in
forming the public of the correct facts inter-
preted from the standpoint of morality--is the
quickest and best way. it is a fact of universal
experience, of putting a stop to exaggerated and
immoral interpretations spread through gossip
and rumor. Al the same time we frankly state
our belief that there is too much space devoted
TO those items which OF destructive char
acter and not enough to news Of constructive
character to accomplish the purpose of
Of an immoral happening before the public
This is, to be frank again, because the public
has not only demanded these facts but in gem
eral wants more than any newspaper is willing
to print
Newspapers want to be clean 1t is a fact

Utility corporations should be the

they think the l.. & N. should
disobey the laws of our land at
