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

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.

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
