The (Portland Oregon (an) If a newspaper shouldSomit from its columns all news of crime and ac-andal it would fall Just as far short of its duty as if It went to the other extreme and surrendered to sensationalism. Bq a middle western editor told s convention delegates-at the Chicago Theologi cal seminary. Any one who gives thought to the subject will find It difficult to differ from this opinion. The mis sion of a newspaper Is to print the news, not to suppress it. Unfor tunately the world about us Is not a moral Utopia. To represent it as such by printing only pleasant and constructive news would not im prove conditions; it would oiny withhold actual facts from those , terrib'e career, had not the public1 ana me ponce inrougnoui . me en tire laud been Informed by the newspapers of his methods and habits. The list could be multiplied endlessly. In every big hunt for those who would cheat the law printer's ink is a factor in thwart ing the offenders. If there were no printed word of our moral ills, what uncertainty would prevail in the public mind! Gossip and scandal, unreliable rumors and irresponsible chatter would take the place of exact facts. The greatest safeguard to Uio reputation of the upright lies in the right of the press to report freely the operations of peace of ficers and the activities of court i. No one who is guiltless need fear who are entitled to know them. If J? n,flicI??a 8OTBlp ftI"! the press by a great and impos sible conspiracy should or roe to ignore all criminality it would be an occasion for rejoicing by those whose Teet follow devious paths. "Publicity Is a light that illumines dark places. Activities of the un derworld do not thrive when that light Is turned on them. Fear of it is a deterrent to the person who thinks of crossing the border lino. An alert public conscience is quick to insist upon action when evil is dragged out of hiding. Were the papers to suppress news of crime peace officers would not be so clearly cognizant of the sup port that they always have from public opinion when the public pos sesses reliable data on .which to base Its estimates. . Moreover, In its practical details, publication of crime news is 'or greatest aid In the detection ot criminals. Hickman might never have been caught it the press had not warned the public of his flight and scattered broadcast his de scription. Nelson, the st rangier, would probably have continued his scandal inongerliig his name will be dragged in the dirt. In insisting that the press . has a high duty to mirrpr a world as H Is, not as we would like to have it, we do not mean that crime and scandal should be emphasized be yond their actual Importance. The Indictment of yellow journalism is based upon its practice of playlnn up moral lapses and departures from rectitude In order to cater to a demand for sensationalism: Hap pily the number of newspapers which adopt such a policy Is limit ed. There is no excuse for drag ging out of the gutter' every mor sel of scandal In the belief that readers want such a noisome diet. .Vrthermoret In the printing of criminal news there is sound basis for the practice of reputable news papers of protecting the names ot minora. A misstep in youth does not necessarily mean a broken career. It is customary In news publication to give weight to this fact and to adopt 'a helpful atti tude rather ilhan to speed those of Immature years and judgment on the downward path. $3,843,000 YEARLY that a flight such as has been made, by the Southern Cross was impossible of fulfilment and that to attempt it was suicidal. But of tile greatest Import is its effect on the advancement of avia tion." As Colonel Lindbergh aptly stated-when informed of the suc cessful termination of the first lap, "It aids in the advancement ot ment to the progress of the flight bespoke the careful preparatory work carried out by . Captain Charles Klngsford-Smfth, Com mander, and his co-pilot, C. T. P. Ulm, and of the fine work of the American members of the crew, Harry W. LyoiiH as navigator and Jnmea Warner as radio operator.
