CHAS. D. TONEY, Editor & Puhlihhkb.
IIOMER, GA„ NOV. 5, 1896
THE VIDE NEWSPAPER :
THE EVII. IT CAN DO.
A correspondent of the New York
Sun writes to the editor that paper as
follows :
I applaud your bravery, admire
your vigorous use of the English lan
guage, and compliment you upon the
performance of a public service in di
recting attention to the “new journal
ism” that has developed in New York
to the utter disgust of every decent
citizen.
Ok
This new journalism, however, is
only the natural outgrowth or natural
putrescence more properly, of the
methods of the St. Louis Jshmaelitc
projected into newspaper circles when
he took possession of the then mori
bund sheet that hns in a dozen years
destroyed all journalistic unities, pan
dered to the vicious of this community
outraged all sense of decency, and
served as thu educator for evil in its
utter lack of appreciation of the moi
als of the public. Hiuce then there
has succession of these degrad
ir.g am! degraded publication*. They
have flashed across tin; sky, some of
them, and.have remained fixed in
their policy of Faginizing the town.
There was the little sheet that was
made lor factory ana shop girls ad
that gave free range to immoral ad
vertising and libidinous paragraphs;
it was but the continuation, intense
rivalry, of the family traits that were
impressed upon the first mentioned
paper, none of which has ever been
named in decent society. Then came
the paper, now passed to its long rest
which strove to the assumed vicious
tastes of society. Now we have the
indecent rivalry between Jew and
Gentile for the right of possession of
the journalistie sewer. Nothing seems
too filthy to ho voided lit
them upon the public, nothing too
brazen to be flaunted in our faces- It
is our misfortune that the Jew lias
limitless wealth, the price of tribute
to bis salacious pages, and the Gentile
an muxplored incohie from which to
maintain his competitive ciusade
against his Magyar adversary.
Those educated to tho methods of
the journalism that was a credit to
the country, of which there are stil]
some conspicuous examples, and who
were reared amid its influences, ’ook
with horror on the development of
this new school, tho chief tenet of
which is to dehauah. That which i
ennobling and instructive is discarded
for daily record of crime, indecent
spectacles, and prurient exhibitions.
Pages of feSsering scandals are reek
ingly laid upon the tables of news
stalls, and served to the young and
old. Murder, rape, arson, seduction,
nameless physical horrors of human
device, are flanungly fashioned with
types and pictorial embellishments for
our impressionable boys aid girls.
Nothing is too shocking, nothing too
loathsome to find its favored place in
these journals.
It nil comes of the atavic recur
rence of the originator’s degraded
progenitors' nature*. It is all built
up on the foundation of a depraved
character It is the natural express
ion of a mental strain that would
make its po*eesser wallow in tilth
were there net the restraining in
fluences of society about him. We
all kaow the history of his paper’s
evolution. We, who have 'ollowed
the journalistic changes know of the
character of the people he had with
•
him aiding in the endeavor to prosti
tute the whole fourth estate. And
wa no'v behold the culminating of this
degrading crusade in the newest
corner is making to win the kindship
'i the realm of nastiness. It 13 a de
plorable spectacle, but it is flaunted
before our eves every day. The dun
hill sends out its sickening odors, its
killing miasmas, every morning and
afternoon. New York is saturated, as
never before, with the exhaled poisons
of putridity.
It is a deplorable spectahlc, that
of a voting man of boundless wealth,
with education, naturally tastefully j
ideas, gentleman instincts, and good
breeding, throwing his arms about the
journalistic temple’s pillars and trying
to drag the edifice to the ground, just
to cripple his publisher rival. There
was a broad, nobler held m wbicli he
might have striven for supremacy
among the journalistic giants if hejhad
the instinct to enter it, not to say the
decency to do so. lie gains no words
of praise by aping the methods of his
rival and carrying tbei to the utmost
limits br reason of disj o-ution to
spend his •inheritance is befouling
the nest ill which he was reared.
A tew rears back the rivalry was to
make interesj.ing,|iiistn!clive, educa
tional papers. There was a legiti
macy of business methods and an
honesty of purposes is the editorial
field. Newspapers were made to read
for the instructive news or opinions
they confained, and the world was
better for it ali. There were men ef
brains in the management, not mere
performers beut on lightning change
acts and trick mule performances, or
the pictorial exposition of the town’s
latest indecency on a roof .gsrden.
There were dramatic critics who criti
cised plays, not mm who pandered to
the pruricuts tastes of the community
in columns of indecent insinuations.
There were men who were conspicu
ous am n the people of the city for
their intelligence and their earnestness
not men who drew their inspirations
from brothels and other fs.nl sinks,
through which streams of fifth are
constantly flowing t* the nai-tiar sow
si's.
These lines are not overdrawn.
Road the papers clay by day. Note
what tbey tell and what they never
reveal. Watch the care with which
they recite all the thing* that tend to
carry the public down, with uaver a
line that elevates, enneblts or edu
cates.
What are we going to do about it ?
You can take an anarchistic m*h by
the neck, so to speak, and choke it
to speak, and choke it till its eyes
bulge out, and club it into obedience
to the law, you can turn the house on
a bcfotdid individual who lias fallt*
jtito the cess pool and stifle* the com
inanity with h ; < awful ordor; but how
are you going to dam this increasing
llw of fslime that is being emptied
from these journalistic sewers upon
society everywhere ? The published
figures tell every day, so far as we can
believe them, how the Vila stream is
spreading over the city. With jub
ilant tone the fact is shouted to the
world that New York is every day
growing fonder and fonder of the
prospect of being submerged by this
tide of journalistic foulness. And
when yon look about you in tho
streets, or in the cars, vou find your
youth already drinking in the loath
some stuff. It is up to their mouths
already.
Barring the sacred right of liberty
of the press, it would seem as ll
there should b some restraining pow
er that wonld prohibit such journal
istic panders from exhibiting or dis
simulating their infamous prints and
pictures, just as there is relentless
law that will prevent and punish ini |
moral or obscene displays in any pub i
lie place.—Atlanta Journal.
CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED
