Portland Paper Editor The Star In answer to how @ would handle the Skarin story were I the editor of « paper, I wish to inform you of the action the “news” caused me to take. I was so disgusted with the newspaper accounts of this cause celebre that last Tuesday morning I sat down and subscribed for six monthe to the Portland Oregonian that I might have a clean sheet from which to be informed of the events of the world. Now I never was in Portland in my life, am Canodian born, but know that the Oregonian is one of the seven best papers In the whole United tes. I have received three copies and bad I young people or chil dren in their teens in my home it is the only one I should allow in the house. 1 am of years of discretion enough to choose between good and evil but I do not want filth in my mind any more than I do in my food. The whole Skarin case and all the actors concerned are rotten thru and thru. Respectfully yours, WINIFRED GARNETT, Harper, Wash resolutions far an possible the ¢ While agreeing cheerfully with this writer that The Oregonian ts a Most excellent newspaper, The Star thinks it only fair to point out that The Oregonian makes it a consistent policy to cover Portland murder cases similar to the Skarin case with great thoroness.— Editor Protests Against the Protest Editor The Star 1 am writing you these few lines in protest to the letter of protest to you by Mrs, J. M. Cunningham. I am a subscriber to The Star and have been for some years. 1 feel I also have a voice in what I want myself and mine to read I feel that the people are entitled to know all the facts concerning all murder cases, As we cannot all attend the trials, the only way we have of learning the facts is thru the medium of a newspaper, and it is very essential that all the people should know all the facts #0 as to be able to judge correctly in time to come, as it seems.to be the rule rather than the exception nowadays for friends of murderers to present petitions for pardon; therefore, before I sign such a petition I want to be reasonably sure of the facts of the case. It Is my belief that if the facts are given and the younger minds read them and they see the utter futility of escaping punishment, instead of ‘inciting them to follow such crime, they would hesitate. Respectfully, C. B, EVANS. Publish “Nothing at All’ Editor The Star: You invite your readers to say what they want published about the Skarin case, For my part, IT want nothing at all published. I have not the slightest interest in it I think there are thousands like me. Yours very truly, D, T. CHILD, 6264 19th ave. N, B, Right to Know What Is Happening Editor The Star; Regarding what to print regarding the Skarin case; 1, for one, am Interested in knowing the what and why and wherefore of anything that concerns Seattle in any way. If it is not in the papers, how will we find out about it? 1 think there is a great deal of unnecessary repeating of details regarding any criminal case, but no paper can sult all the people all the time, so I try to read it all and make my own decision. If a paper were to print only a short paragraph* regarding such a case it would probably be the edite or & reporter's view of the mat- ter, and not the facts in the case. By giving the whole matter an airing we ean each form our own opinion and at least think for our selves. I do not believe in printing all the gruesome details, but I do think such things should be given to the public, We can’t all go to the hearings and it is our right to know what is happening in our own home town, A STENO, WILL LOCK UP_| HERE COULD PEOPLE | COUNTY AUTOS|| MERE’S MORE ABOUT SMALL CITY, REPORT |) acosia, so. oe — cme l!
