BANKS COUNTY GAZETTE JSSUKI) EVERY THURSDAY. Altered at the Postofflce at Horner 6a. a* second date matter. KhNm* of ftabterfptloia—Cmli : **ru* ye* r SO 9ixnontha 25 11 —r ■ ■■ ~ 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.
