fgAVE a letter today from Rev. S.
NJ Kistner of Mission. who takes
~ US and all newspapers to task
for printing bathing beatty pictures
and stories Of such crimes as that
charged TO A. d. Payne OF Amar-
lilo.
Father Kistner is right from his
view point. but he hits upon a sub
ject of debate among editors rank
ing along with which was first. the
egg or the chicken. and just about
as hard to settle as an argument
over religion.
But as We have said before, the
tendency Of the newspapers today
Is TO give more space TO science and
church affairs, but still the people
flock in thousands to see their
bathing beauties and they like 10
see their pictures, especially Of the
winners. If n can disregard the
SenSuous. a beautiful woman is the
greatest work of art from the hand
OF the Creator, and some one.
Keith. we believe. has said a thing
of beauty Is a Joy forever. Whether
the public does disregard the sem
suous that might be there is a
question.
There are two sides 10 the mat
ter and we cannot argue ii, for one
gets nowhere by argument. ANY
way, we would not presume TO ar
que with Rev. Kistner. We always
feel a minister knows more about
those things than we do.
The engineer of this column be-
leveS that II enough people do not
like what Is going on they will stop
the action. II is an old question
OF whether a public hanging actS
as en- example and reduces crime.
or whether the excitement has the
reverse action. The idea OF the
newspaper is to tell the people
what is going on and let the peo-
pie decide what they shall do about
u. We may be all wrong. and
thank Rev. Kistner for his letter.
