Newspaper Influence

In the matter of newspaper in
fluence in behalf Of candidates
and causes, which the Punta Cor.
da Herald recently estimated as
mil, that paper now qualities its
Inegation in this wise:
"The conclusion is that, so far
as candidates for public office are
concerned, the newspaper may not
have effective influence in behalf
of its favorites, but, in local af-
fairs its power, conscientiously
and persistently exerted is invin-
chile. There would be but few
and insignificant public improve
ments but for the influence of the
press. !"
Maybe so, but just as long as
there are newspapers and candi-
dates, the latter will be seeking
the influence of the former, not
only for the good words they may
utter, but for the incompatible
publicity they give them. The
voice of the orator is to The voice
voice of the press as the squeak of
tin whistle to the far-reaching
roar of a fog horn, and because
his is true, press influence will
always be in demand by candi-
tates for office.-Lakeland Tele-
gram.

Newspapers and Crime

Under the above heading, Edi
tor Piner of the Lakeland Morn,
ing Star, "prints piece" whose
conclusion is that the publication
of the details of crime instigates
by suggestion" the commission
of a similar crime by certain
weak-minded readers of the de-
tails. Perhaps this is true, and, if
so, it appears that there are two
causes for it. The first is an in
herent tendency to crime in the
individual reader and the second
is the well known fact that, in
the United States, about ninety
nine scoundrels out of hundred
escape the just penalties of their
misdeeds.
Were it fact and generally
known that no person committing
crime would escape punishment,
that a man contemplating a MUIR
der would certainly be hung if he
perpetrated it, then the publca-
ton in newspaper of the details
of any atrocity would have little
or no influence in suggesting to a
reader a duplication of the
crime. The publication, conclud-
ing with a report of the just pun
ishment of the criminal, would
have the effect of lettering alb
normal minds from a serious in
tention to commit crime.
And what are newspapers for,
anyhow Their very name pledg-
es them to print the news, wheth-
er good or bad. The Bible itself
does this, and it does it for the
purpose of showing that "the
way of the transgressor is hard"
that the man who violates the law }
is sure to be punished.
No man commits a crime with :
out believing that he will not be q
punished for it, and, in the United "
States, his belief is well founded. y
The result is that, in this country. "
here are twenty murders to every "
)ne committed in England, Ger :"
many or France. AZ ~
Ii DR.. G. G. Crippen had MUIR -
Tered his wife in this country, "
would he have been convicted {? "
only in Virginia, where they make :,
specially of hanging wife-mur- "
lerers. But we believe they did
ang Rev. Clarence C. V. Richie ,
ON in Massachusetts,, which was :
n exception to the rule. nc :,
In conclusion we beg to say that :"
'rother Piner is in error in as VI
erting that "the newspaper re- V
ponds to the volatile and delicate p
in the popular mind" ~ -
My time-serving politicians and "
efnagogues do that. The true, ="
