Newspaper English" and Critics.

A literary reviewer and critic in one of the
current magazines gives considerable space to a
rather caustc fagellation OF newspaper writers,
particularly reporters, because Of the way the
stories OF the day are prepared for the readers.
Chief count in the rather lengthy indictment is
that euphemisms rather than good old Anglo
Saxon terms are employed in telling of certain
experiences, conditions, crimes and misde-
mcanors
Admitting that it is true that newspapers are
careful and maybe even fnicky, in telling of some
of the unpleasant things OF life, one very good
reason for this has been overlooked by the critic
Daily newspapers are prepared for the uses of
far wider circle Of readers than come in touch
with the high brow" magazines. Therefore ex-
pressions must be adapted to meet the tastes of
all. II the meaning is clear, and the language
employed inoffensive, the reporter has fairly well
discharged his obligation. charge of prudery
can rest on this but rather 1t Is Difference to a
commendable sense OF delcacy that is Unborn and
seldom If ever entirely extinguished among our
people
For this, then, the American newspaper is to
be commended. One that would survey its in
formation In Rabelaisan terms, or even words
and phrases common enough in the King James
version Of Holy Writ, would find an eager if
limited clientele, but also would find itself soon
under the ban Of the law.
And, by that same token, the critic who so
roundy scolds the reporters for hiding their
meaning in polite" phrases. when he comes to
discussing the book he had under dissection, en-
pioys similar subterfuge, and does not at any
time use the words so well known to sophisti-
Gated persons, but conveys his ideas through such
diaphanous disguise as exposes his own insin-
cerity.
