It should be, as it Were, a keeper of the public conscience.’’—Henry Watterson. age: Fripay, Juuy 7 THE NEWSPAPER AND THE HOME DaILy EDITION. A young English mining engineer who recently completed a survey of the mineral districts of ile Pacific coast from Peru to the head of the Portland Canal, thus having excellent opportunities for observing the social life of the peoples among whom he lived, has given expression to his observations in a book. He saw much to comment on, and much to admire in every nation. But, he says, he never realised before how. different the social life and ideals of two neighbouring nations can be till he reached British Columbia and read its newspapers. In very warm words he praised the standard of the Britis! Columbian press in refraining from the sensational, crime-parading and private-life-investigating methods of the press in the coast cities to the south of the international boundary. The praise is gratifying, for however much abused the Canadian press may be, there is a serious effort made to keep close to facts, to discriminate between what is public and what is private in a man's life, and to present the news of the day in as orderly and well-selected manner as possible. Not long ago, the newspapers of one big Canadian city, entered into an agreement not to divulge the past history of a notorious criminal. The object of the conspiracy was to save a young woman w!th a brilliant career before her, from ever learning that the man was her father. She was happy in the belief that her father, whom she had never known, had died when she was an infant. The secret is one that was confined to a detective chief, four newspaper editors, the girl’s mother and the unfortunate man. All entered into a conspiracy of silence—and sacrificed a day's sensation for the sake of a young girl's lifetime of happiness. Any experienced newspaperman could multiply instances where, sometimes to save the feelings of innocent relatives, at other times to prevent the public mind from being needlessly outraged, stories have been emasculated of gruesome and horrifying details. Always an effort is made in the best newspaper offices to produce a paper that may be read aloud in the home, x ce These observations are stimulated by the scanning of the front page of the ““Home Edition”’ of a well-known Seavtle paper. The items which in the opinion of the Seattle editors are especially suitable for fireside reading, are of a rather startling character. On the front page, just underneath the two big captions which proclaim the particular edition to be the ‘Home Edition” is a row of black letters two inches deep, telling of a suicide. The right hand column is devoted to the story of the suicide. ‘Find body in club room” are the main head lines. The left hand column is topped with a story ‘Stab man on Street” telling how half an hour after he had give 1 evideace against gamblers Joe Pan was stabbed in the neck and left breast by a stilletto in the hands of Joe Bizzari. Next to it is 1 two column story of the Groh murder case, with pictures of the murdered mai's wife, and the alleged murderer. The principal story, which is given a three column space is entitled ‘Alleged badger girl breaks down in court.” The story deals without any restraint, with the doings of a group of underworld denizens. ‘ There are pictures of the girl, her husband, the victim, and other principals in the alleged badger game. Other stories on the front page, which according to the editors are specially suited for “home” reading tell of a fight and robbery in a lodging house, elopement and subsequent drowning of a young hospital nurse and her lover; the details of the pursuit of a band of bank robbers in the Sierras who were out dynamiting country banks; the poisoning of fifty children at a Sunday School picnic; an alleged attempt by a United States senator to corrupt voters with money bribes, and the story of a degenerate or lunatic, who under the guise of religious teaching had debauched a number of young girls. No reasonable person expects that a newspaper which purports to give the news of the world can succeed in the guise of a Sunday School leaflet. Neither is there any sol’d argument for that ‘‘mirror of normal life’ ideal that some theorists hold for the press. It is the abnormal, not the normal that is ‘“‘news."’ That a saw mill is sawing logs is not news, though it is the normal function of a saw mill to saw logs. A saw mill on fire is news because being on fire is not the normal function of a saw mill. That a bank cashier is at his desk paying out checks every day is not news. That is his normal work. But if he skips out of town with a portion of the bank's funds, it is news, because it is an unusual or abnormal proceeding to do so. The recording of criminal deeds must always be a large portion of a newspaper's work, for people are interested in learning of un- usual happenings. But cannot our contemporary across the border find a more palatablefeast for home consumption than such a highly seasoned dish of horrors.
