How Would You Handle the Clara Skarin Case? That is What Star Editor Asked Read- ers; Here Is What Some of Them Answer; If You Were in Charge of News Columns, What Would Be Your Policy? Clubwomen Right, Says This Reader Editor The Star: The news that the Seattle Parent-Teachers’ association hax appealed to the prean for the suppreasion of the many details connected with criminal affairs will surely meet with the approval of the majority of the people. Iam giad they have stepped forward to break the. shell of this “old order” of things. The solidarity of rightthinking women counts for something worth while A great responsibility and also a great opportunity renta with the press. We are a newspaper reading public, and so our minds are fed every day from what the publishers dish out to us; in that fact les the responalbility Much of the news we would like to discard, but we have got to chew it over first, and therein les the opportunity the publisher can give us nourishing or poisonous food. If he pyts principle before dollars we will be nourished, and if vice versa we will be poisoned. The latter ha s when we get criminal news and all the horrible detatis bh We have suffered the last few years, both mentally and physically. The accumt nount of nervousness, resulting in acci- dents and crimes, bears witness to the need of such an appeal as our PT. A. has made. I am, yours truly, J. L. PETRIE, 4248 Bighth ave. N. EB. | “Give Us the News,” He Urges Editor The Star I am a day laborer and only have a chance to read In the evening after my day's work js done. I have been an admirer and reader of The Star for several years, because The Star prints the news regard less of whom it hits, and hope I may continue to do so if The Star continues to print the news. Mr. Editor, if Mra. J. M. Cunningham wants the news in small let her patronize a paper that gives the news in that way The public generally wants the news in full detail. Give us the news so we can continue to read The Star. Very respectfully, J. WH. YOUNG, First ave, 8. : ; ane “Wipe Pages Clean of Crime Stories Editor The Star Iam not a fagily man, but I have a great deal of concern for the other fellow's children, und would say that the club women are abso lutely right in the stand that they take, only they don’t go far enough. If the newspapers of our land would wipe their pages clean of all criminal stories we would have a much better country today Can any intelligent individual tell me what benefit is derived by any one, young or old, from reading low and degrading murder story, whether fact or fiction, regardless of the motive back of the crime I dare say that Miss Skarin stands today in the minds of some people as a heroine (and if #0, why not do as she did?; others will consider her as a martyr; others will, of course, consider her a murderess. So wouldn't It be much better, both for the prisoners and the public, if their stories were kept in their proper place, which is within the four walls of the courtroom, where we have capable men and women elected for the purpose of dealing out justice where justice is due? ‘Train up # child in the way he should go and when he ix old he will not depart therefrom, but that can’t be done by filling his mind with stories from the criminal court.
