THUESDAY, OCTOBEE 22, 1008
; . o; THE IDEAL NEWSPAPER :
What the public wants is an independent newspaper, siys
a wHter in t.ho Atlantic. Mon'-ilv. The reader will toloi-ate ajd
like anv amount of teachinsr tactfully and modestly offered.
will not be preached at or bullied. It is really a matter of direct
ing public thought upon right lines than of indicating new and
experimental policies. The newspaper, indeed, should be crit
ical rather than constructive. Our constitution provides for
three distinctive functions of government legislative, judicial
and executive; and it is the duty of what is correctly called in
England, the fourth estate of the realm, to provide the fourth
necessity, healthful criticism for all three.
I follows that a newspaper may criticise a verdict or a de
cision of the courts, but must not meddle with the proper and
lawful handling of a case on trial. In the same way, the news
paper should watch where corrupt legislation can be defeated,
in order to drag it out into that dry light where the air is always
too strong for its lungs. The legislators must do the rest, and it
is thebusiness of the newspaper to hold them to their duty.
In like manner, the fullest publicity is one of the most valua
ble checks upon the acts of any publio official. We know that the
balance was most delicately adjusted by the framers of the con
stitution, and in this department there is a continual tendency
to usurp the functions of the other two. Nothing could be better
for political morals than the way in which newspapers have em
phasized the correct attitude of Governor Hughes in confining
himself strictly to his business, holding the other departments of
constitutional, government strictly responsible for theirs. In
fact, a .majority of the newspapers are rising above the claiins
of partisanship and advocating good government, no matter
what party may be responsible for it. '
Naturally the morning paper wants to know "what is in it?"
for The Guard to oontinue its advocacy of a good water supply
for the homes of Eugene? That is always the first consideration
with a subsidized organ. As far as The Guard is concerned,
there is nothing in it except the discharging of a duty to the
publio, not to "a corporation, upon whom it is dependent for its
support.' We want to see Eugene do what every other progres
sive Oregon city has done or is doing secure a pure and ample
water supply, as well as an adequate light and power service at
reasonable rates. Already we are becoming a city where the
well water supply is being largely relied upon by the people, and
private light plants are being installed by business houses be
cause of the extortionate rates and poqr service. Such a condi
dition is fast becoming intolerable, and it is not only the right
but the duty as well of the city administration to remedy it if
possible. .
Even the people of Reno, Nevada, are beginning to sit up ind
take notice. That town has been regarded all along as being the
moso wido-opon in the United States of America. Everything
wont in Rono, and the gamblers 'from the four corners of the
earth went there, , for they well knew in that municipality they
could find a haven whore police raids wore unknown, and the
stern hand of justice refused to reach forth in the interests jf
law and order. But now all this has ohangod and there is an ele
ment in Reno that is working for a better ctvic government, and
from the present outlook the advocates of law and order seem
to be in a fair way of gaining a victory over the gamblers, thugs
and sure-thing men.
We know of an opportunity for some millionaire philanthro
pist to dispose of some of his wealth at a good advantage and
where' hundreds of thousands will be made happyhereby, The
campaign committees are sail' i9 need of money. In fact, their
strong boxes are enmty, wherefore there is much sorrow among
the boys, for how are they to become enthused over the election
of their favorite candidate? Something must be done, and that
aWince, or we shall have a very dry election.
