BUTLER, MISSOURI. TUESDAY EVE., FEB. 7, 1882. THE JOURNALISTS DUTY. ent in its expressions, bold, aggress- ive, defiant in its conduct toward men and things, whether in a politi- cal, social or spiritual direction, al- ways receives as a reward for the good office the censure, and we may add, the condemnation of that ele- ment in every community which, either for policy sake or for want of sufficient courage to support their convictions, uphold or passively pass unnoticed the rottenness in both so- cial and political hfe. The journal- ist who writes, and we might as well say, who thinks for the thousands who:read his paper, must not, when he finds himself in contact with the enemies of society and good order, of honest government and political purity, affect any signs of hesitation, but should, in the very nature of his position, take the bull squarely by the horns. Anything short of this is moral cowardice, downright con- temptability ot character and breach ot trust against the readers ot « pub- lic journal. When the presuming volitician toists himself before the public and | 5, of that portion of his speech fals- his party tor honors, it is the plain duty of the fearless journalist to ven- | Writers, tilate his character, private and pub- fic, and expose his Tecord, let it he | by the New Orleans good or bad, to the inspection and | knowledge of those whose suffrage | he ventures to solicit in support ot | his ambition. When the man who abandons the precepts of morality, and whose character has degenera- ted so low down in the scale of ordi- nary respectability that he dares to assail a virtuous, highminded lady on the public highway, or what is worse still, pursues her to her home and in the calm dead hours of night, abruptiv and fiendishly demand ad- mittance, which being refused, he delivers himself of language and heaps epithets upon her defenseless head that would stagger decency and send his soul to perdition, what, we ask, is the duty of the journalist | in such cases? Is he expected to { pleases some to term him, had ut- be. | without character | *-probable candidates’? they must ' expect to. get the benefit of the ad-! vertisment’’ which their ‘‘friends’’ | ! more. } No, gentlemen, the honest jour-} | | | his line of duty.
