SHOULD PAPERS TELL TRUTH
One of the best bills ever presented
to the legislature of Oregon was kill
ed on Monday. It was introduced by
that great orator and grand statesman
Senator Dan kellaher, which probab
ly accounts for the fact that it was
done to death by a vote that was prac
tically unanimous.
Notwithstanding that Grand ate-
nue's most eloquent orator introduced
the bill, it deserved a better (ate than
indefinite postponement.
Its purpose was to make newspa
pers tell the truth. It will he readily
admitted that a bill with such a noble
design should have had a fair show
for passage and should not have been
handicapped with a sponsor like Sen
ator Kellaher.
The suggestion that newspapers
should be forced to tell the truth
even if it requires legislative action to
do it is highly meritorious. It proves
that our legislators are working for
better things striving for loftier
ideals. What thing could be better,
what ideal loftier than truth, and
what more beautiful achievement than
introducing the handmaid of virtue
to the daily press!
The opposition to this splendid bill
reflects little credit on those who
voted against it Indeed, the argu
ments were pitiably weak and uncon
vincing. One notable senator arose
and declared he was unalterably op-
opposed to the measure because in
requiring the newspapers to tell the
truth it imposed a duty on them that
was impossible of performance. An
other honorable gentleman urged his
colleagues to defeat the bill on the
ground th?t if the newspapers were
compelled to tell the truth they would
cease to be of any interest, and would
be no more readable than a court cal
endar. A third asserted that since the
stage had taken up life problems and
movies had abandoned idealism for
realism and the novelists were devot
ing their talents to the solution of ev-ery-day
questions, and alt were using
truth as a basis for their productions,
relaxation from this deadly monotony
of verity could be found in the news
and editorial columns of the dailies
alone.
"Let us," he cried in a fine burst of
eloquence, "let us not chain the men
tality, shackle the r inds, r.nd enslave
the imaginations our great editors
by forcing them to tell the truth.
Gentlemen, life is sordid enough with
out compelling our brilliant journal
ists to confine themselves to its ig
noble realities. Let us preserve to
the press, our safeguard against op
pression, or defender in time of need,
the pure palladium of our holy liber
ties, the people's pulpit, pride, and
preserver, its immemorial freedom
from whatever would bind, bend, or
break it. This infamous bill to ham
per the newspapers by compelling
them to tell the truth on any subject
would be a deadly blow at the God
given ritfht of free speech."
The oration in defense of the free
dom of the press t;s greeted with a
tremendous hurst of applause. Sena
tor Butler then rose to express his
proiouna cmpieasure ot the measure
that was designed to force the peo
ple's vindicator, the press, to abandon
its light and graceful flights of fiction
for the cold, bald, uninteresting, and
unconvincing facts. And, anyway, he
declared with great earnestness and
sincerity, even if the splendid body
of senators, of w hich he was proud to
he a member, thought in its wisdom
that it was wise to pass this bill, and
compel the editors to tell the truth,
the law would be inoperative, "as it
is impossible to make peonle moral
and truthful by le-jislatinn."
And that is how the bill to make
papers tell the truth was defeated.
