The Dalles Daily Chronicle. The only Republican Daily Nempapei n Wasco County. THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1897 EASTERN OFFICE 230 to Temple Court, N. Y. City. E. KATX, Agent. SOME PLAIN FACTS. The Telegram yesterday, as it. promised, indulged in "new journal ism," and was the better for it. We ventutc the assertion that it sold more papers of last night's issue than it has for months. Why ? The an swer is simple. "Because the public want that kind of news." Its all very well to prate about scandal and crime and all that sort of thing being given puominent place in the big dailies, but the people want it, and as long as they do, it is going to be furnished them, The papers that- furnish it arc going to gut the circu lation, and those that do not aw going to the wall. These be the days of the spectacu lar. The people demand novelties, and press and pulpit rise to meet the demand. "We do not deJend the taste; we deprecate it, but what would you ? As long as there is a demand for liquor, there will be saloons; as long as there arc smokers, there will be cigars and pipes; as lone as there are brutal instincts, there will be brutal sports; as long as there is lechery, there will be means for its gratification; as long as there are Diomeds, there will be Cressids; as long as there are fools, there will be dialect stories; and just as long as there is money in supply ing these demands, there will be an abundance of, people ready to supply them, even at the risk of imprison ment for violating the laws. "We believe the world would be much better off without many things that it has; but it wants them, and it is going to have them. We have the utmost contempt for the "holier than thou" journalism, and ue can lift our hat to the promoter of a prize fight, the publisher of an off color news paper, or, if you please, the pandar to depraved public taste, with much more self respect left, than we can to that class of newspapers that preach against prize fights, and pub lish columns of lies to assist in hold, ing up a legislature; that pean ho saunas over the action of an asinine board of directors of a public library. and are as silent as the damned over a violated constitution and a coward ly political assassination. We have no patience with that Oriental mod esty that compels the covering of the female face, even though it takes all the clothes from the balance of the body to do it. Now journalism, as the term is understood, is far from perfect, jet new journalism is what wo need. A new journalism that does not gag at a gnat and swallow a legislative hold-up; a new journalism that dares to tell the truth, regardless of effect on parties or policies; a new journal ism that is always for the right and always against the wrong. Wc shall have that kind of new journalism when we get into Utopia not before. Newspapers can run counter to pub lie sentiment and public demand to a limited extent; beyond that they perish of their own goodness. To their credit be it said they are far in advance of public morals now. They will probably always remain in that position; but until humanity is created with different tastes, differ ent desires, higher aims and nobler resolves, the "new journal" will livo and thrive and prosper. Until that time the newspapers that throw their X rays on tho vices and follies of man will find greater circulation than those which tell of tho virtues that most of us do not possess. that they were disgusted with Jim. His big mouth, his braggadocia, his treatment of his first wife, and his posing as a prixe-ring humorist and an all-around tough, created this sentiment. He was Gentleman Jim when he whipped Sullivan, and in six months his conduct was such that to call him a conyict woald have en titled every jail bird in the country to damages for slander. Fitzsim mons will never take that road. He has no false ideas about the greatness of the championship, and will be so busily engaged in defending his title that he won't have tine to get the swell head. Baltimore has a ladies' club, the members whereof, by common agree ment, appeared on the first rainy day in March in short skirts that came to within not less than five inches of the ground, nor more than six inches from it. The short skirts proved a great convenience, and the ladies as- j sert that they have come to stay. The idea is a good one, but why wear short skirts only on rainy days? The draggling of old cigar stubs and dry filth is just as bad as the mud. Why not cut all the skirls on that pattern ?
