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? What Average Newspaper Reade Editor The Start The average newspaper reader t# not looking for reading matter that will improve his mind, teach him something xew, or be of help to him tm his everyday life. Newspapers ore not made for that pur pose, perhaps, because the pubile mind does not ask it of them. The average reader wkips over two or three acareheads, glances at the editorinin, reads the comic section religiously and, unless struck o In the eye by something of more than ordinary sensational . lays the paper aside, When @ particularly racy seandal story ocouples part of the front page, he reads It. Women may hold indignation meetings and bewaf! the ruin to the morals of our young peoplé that result from reading thie “sensational news”; and yet they rend It thetiiaelves—Dbetween finishing “The Bheik” and farting “Brik Dorn” and taking the children to see an Elinor Glyn movie, Without the adpport of ita reading public a newspeper cannot extet, and sings its pulilig i so imiportaht a part of It, ft must necessarily r ite standarge their own standards, Like @ stream, it ean sher than ite sourc The reading public demands vivid sen. dorer’s confession to @ book review, Let ing what space he can to art and literature and the qitietet, leas epectacuiar achievements of the world but if be ta to #aceeed he must first give the public what the public wants, There te A theory, hard to explain, that the public ts entitled to khow everything It may Want to know about what goes on tn the ctivities; and it Is on that theory that all ne int all the news; play it wp; go the limit, Anyone whe wen the newspaper's taste in criticising the taste of the whole reading publi. It may need eriticiem, truly enough, but the place to start working for betterment ts at the source. As long as your readers demand satisfaction of their morbid curios ties, It is your job to give them that satisfaction; but let the blame fall squarely where it belongs Yours truly DALE CURRAN, 1510 Yesler way. Wants erybody’s Job! You have heard the statement that the Community Fund plan of raising money to provide for the welfare work of the city shifts the burden | giving from the rich and well-to-do to the wage-carner. Even if it were true, we ask you, as man to man, would that release you from your responsibility as a good citizen? Not only that, but don’t you, as a fair-minded human being, want to do your share? The statement about shifting the burden is not true. We're going to nail it, right now, and give you all the facts, so you may nail it, too, if it should arise in the Community Fund campaign from September 23 to October 3. The TRUTH is— The rich and well-to-do in Seattle are not only giving as much as they did before the Community Fund plan was adopted here, but a GREAT DEAL MORE. It is a well-known fact that before the Community Fund was or- ganized the various Lay oy of this city were supported by a small group of people—a few thousand at the most. _ We say “supported,” but the plain facts are they were half starved, lived from hand to mouth and had a hard time to get along. That was when each and every one of these agencies carried on sep- arate campaigns throughout the year. Remember all those campaigns? (Have you been bothered with these many campaigns in the past year?) \Unadulterated—Straight From Shoulder china closets: ree. price Solid mahogany. .

Shoot the TRUTH, no matter whom it hurts, nor where it hurts. THIS 18 YOUR SWORN DUTY AS A PUBLIC SERVANT, Very sincerely, EB. W. SIMONBON, Monitor, Wash. Extraordinary Good Senee Shown Editor The Star: What do you want printed about the Skarin case? My anewer ts Everything thet ts printable. We want the truthful news, Why this egotiom in any organtzation to presume you editers do not know your business? To condemn our feattle newspapers would be agninst the welfare of our city. Women's clubs protesting about news of a sister's career Is just iike women condemning thetr own sex. I have eald many « time, “Women do not know much"; this protest is atitl convincing. It was this “greeneyed monster~ of woman that sought Mise Skartn’s Ife, and snuffed out her mother’s life This placed Clara in circumstances where she bad to fight for money rightfully belonging to her, and to kill to eave her honor. This ls one woman with good sense, and The Star has shown extraordinary good sense tn publishing what it has about ber case Renpectfully, JUDGE V. W, CLOUGH, 528 Seventh ava, N. | ‘Dark Brown Taste in the Brain Editor The Star: The woman tn the Skarin case ts a confessed criminal, admitted guilty to begin with, Now, why hold her good looks, her regal manner, her drawing room style, her art of dancing, also her taste in dress, up to the scuttered population? Her case affects the morale of the young, the mannere and thoughts of everybody, and we motherw have to have our ears and eyes open constantly these days, Why does the preas make it harder to hold up high ideals and clean thoughts and moral living before the eyes of our young people? . In my eyes she te guilty of four deaths, not only one, Now my answer to you te that, if you “are bound to consider” her innocent until proved guilty (I am humerous), why write up her life and actions previous to the time of the crime? T assure you it makes messy reading, and leaves a dark brown taste in the brain. Cordially yours, GIRS) L. MAB BARTON, 6015 First ave. N. B. Says Public Wants the Facts Editor The Star: ‘This is what I want you to do “Print everything that's fit to print; hold nothing back! Give the public all the news; that’s why we are taking the daily paper.” In my opinion, there is nothing to hide ia @ murder case, be it & man or a woman Knowing the progress of the case wouldn't alter ft in the leant. ‘The court room doors are open to the public, no matter what canes are tried. Why should a newspaper be confined to short reports and small space? The general public would certainly know little outside thelr own surroundings should the newspapers follow such dictations of any organization. Ruth Garrison’s murder case was given to us in detalls dally; so was James Mahoney's. Why shouldn't Skarin’s case be permitted? Mr, Editor, give us the case as it progresses; the public wants tt. If the club women don’t wapt to read It, good and well, Maybe the daily social news will do them Just ae well I. O. GAASLAND, 2605 Third ave, Let Light Shine on Good and Bad Alike Editor The Star: ‘As a mere man who has not time to attend the courts, and also real- taing that the space there Im limited, and therefore dependent upon the newspapers and magazines for my information as to how the affairs of the world are conducted, and interested that justice be car ried out to both the dead and the living, I say give us the truth and the whole truth as far as the same can be got in the Skarin case, and in everything else for which wo support the newspapers. I heard of no requests for suppression of details of monster man as represented by the Mahoney case. Have been a constant reader of your paper for 12 years and am satisfied that you know your own business. ‘Let the light shine upon good and bad alike that we may know how to live aright.
