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 ?
