the throne of the great Many have lived lives of cebacy
and duled their mundane existence without knowledge

THE JOURNALISTIC PROSTITUTE
By VICTORIO ACOSTA VELASCO

There is always freak in every profession-one
that degrades rather than enhances the prestige of the
calling The young and noble profession of the Journalist
is 10 exception.
Thus we see so-caied journalist stoop down from
the high pedestal of his profession make his living in
the gutter totally unmndful journalistic ethics that
should guide him in his noble calling.
Thus we what prefer to call the journalistic
prostitue-one who, for bottle of any Intoxicating
good name that attached the journalistic profession
and make kings and barons of rascas and scoundre and
queens and debutantes of plain washout women or
pleasure.
The beverage gone and the toscanis exhausted you,
go back where he picked from-back IN the alleys ana
back doors and dngy where of your right you
are monarch of all you survey.
There are ethics, principles, no standards to
The ss;ournastic prostitute" His ethics and principles
and standards are measured by the pint and quar- Thew
are as lousy his face dirty and his teeth unbrushed
Yes there is such animal journalistic prosti-
tute For lousy meal he sells his journalistic soul and
caters to your temporal whims and caPrices He is
hero whoever pay his price.
