title Public Duty of Newspaper President Arthur Twining Hadley of Yale University gives some interesting views in the Companion for November 5 Though ad- dressed to boys the article will-be read by adults with the feeling that the distinguished educator would change ft' only slightly -to express his views to them 1 TA hoy buys a newspaper reads It and throws It begins President Had-mv has no other purpose than to make a half-hour pass quickly He would be surprised to hear that his act had any moral or political significance-But It can be- shown that our choice of newspapers and -our way of reading them have an important bearing on the government of the country that we must take this Into acoount in order to do our -full duty as American citfsens the year 1789 the -whole French people was in a state of political exclte-nient They seized eagerly upon everything sensational A young journalist named Camille Desmoulins shared this Reeling and took' advantage of It He wrote a series of articles called Talks to the People of which' he uiged that anybody who was not a friend of the people oi ght to be taken to the nearest lamp ost and not himself a' bloodthirsty man He chose his title chiefly because it sounded so picturesque After a time he saw that they were executing a great many innocent men and women and began to tell men so Then they said that he was not a friend of the people any lqpger and executed him '-v story has a moral for uts In America today It shows the dangers that come to- a' people- which reads newspapers for the sake of excitement instead of for 'the sake of information Among the many reforms which are needed In American politics a reform in the spirit In which we read our newspapers is one of the most' impoi cant To prove this point I shall try to show (1) that we are governed by public opinion (2) that the newspapers are the chief agents In forming public opinion (3) that if want responsible- government we must have responsible newspapers and (4) that if we Are to have tesponsible newspapers the reform must egln with the readers After showing how public opinion governs the United States and insisting that courts and legislatures are only parts of the machinery that though ft does not supply motive power to a nation President- Hadley continues: it- 1 -newspapers are the chief agents in forming public opinion- This used to be done by courts of law and by political assemblies but the modern newspaper has supplanted them both as a forum of public discussion and as "a means of public education of this change has taken place in the nineteenth century A hundred years -ago Intelligent men used to learn about the workings of the law either by serving on juries or by- leading the decisions of the judges: but Jury service is today managed so badly that In roost of the states no Intelligent man wishes ta serve on a jury if he can help It And if he does have to serve on a jury he does not gain an -understanding -of the law so much as a contempt for the way in which criminal lawyers are allowed to misapply it And most of the decisions of present-day judges questions like railroad management or the equities of taxation are "so much occupied with precedents and- so litt'e with actual facts that they nave very slight effect on public opinion- do people get- the instruction from political fpeechtw vhich they did two or three generations ago Every schoolboy knows of thq great debate between Webster and ilayne in Washington or the -yet greater debate between Lincoln and Douglas right before the people thetnselves debates nowadays do riot exist Political speakers may address enthusiastic meetings but their addresses aru appeals to the emotions of men who have already formeo their views rather than deliberate discussions with a view to aid In their formation'- before the great public speeches have-been made on questions at issue 1 the facts have been set before the people in the news -columns of their "papers and the arguments drawn from them with more or less care in the editorials so that a speech in the senate- or house- of representatives seivee rather to register the reasons for a decision already formed by the voters than as a means of influencing any man in -arriving at a common understanding on any measure The invention of the 1 telegraph and the immense use of news-' gathering agencies have made the news-' paper press the source to -which people go to get their facts -and the real forum in which public issues are discussed "If we want responsible government we must have responsible newspapers If the two previous points are proved this one follows logically as a matter of course -If we are governed by public opinion our government will- necessarily be good or bad according as the newspapers are good qr -bad A gooa tree cannot bring forth- evil fruit -neither can a corrupt-tree bring forth good fruit i we are to have responsible newspapers' the reform must begin -with the readers' themselves Most of the men who edit newspapers will give' the people the kind of newspapers they want There wlll of course be exceptionally1 gobd editors who will make their papers better than their readers' demand and try to educate the people up to a higher level Just as- there will be exceptionally bija editors- who will make papers worje than the readers want and be the Instruments' whether-they try to or not of educating the public down to a lower level the average editor will woik for the' average reader He cannot -be any more independent of the man who buys his goods than the manufacturer or merchant can be A' manufacturer who refuses to produce things that the people want because he thinks they ought to want something better will be driven out -of business and so wilt a newspaper editor" In concluding President Hadley urges boys to cultivate the sprit of fairness in Judging public questions 'and to read newspapers with this end and with attention to logic rather than rhetoric Dare to- Mr It Vas- Michelet' I believe who -observed that "woman Is the salt of a' man's liffiV Miss Quite true!
