TRIBUTE TO THE NEWSPAPERS
Newspapers- received an unusual and marked tribute the other
day when the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Eaton, pastor of one of the largest
churches in New York city and one of the foremost clergymen in the
country, resigned his charge in order to carry on his chosen work, not
in another pulpit, but through the press.
It is Dr. Eaton's belief, shared by many others, that public opin
ion in this country must be awakened to its responsibilities in the re
adjustment which is bound to follow the great war. Dr. Eaton will
preach this subject, but not from the pulpit. The newspaper will
carry his message to the world in future. In relinquishing his post
the eminent clergyman said:
"At present the newspapers are preaching better than the preach
ers, and it is through the press that 1 hope to work. In common with
the rest of the world, America is entering upon a hew age, and I feel
it my duty to help in forming public opinion and in interpreting the
vast and complicated problems which confront us. "
The foregoiug is but another proof of the growing influence and
power for the spiritual as well as material good of the community ex
erted by the newspaper today. It is not so many years ago that any
close connection between the clergy and the press was sufficient cause
for a considerable raising of the eyebrows among the revrend gntle
men and their followers. Time and experience and, it must be ad
mitted, a higher standard among newspapers have changed this atti
tude. -
The press and clergy arc today working hand in hand, as they
should work, and preaching religious as well as civic righteousness
through the newspapers is an accepted fact, for, while the pulpit ad
dresses itself to hundreds, the newspaper speaks to thousands. Am
erican' Press. - ' -
STAND UP FOR
This paper would be derelict to
aeainst the wanton attack that has
ance and published in a local paper
unadulterated mendacity is seldcm equalled. We have no intention
of beinst drawn into a wraugle with a contemporary publication,
which is degrading to newspapers
1o the communities m which they are published; but we feel that 'lhe
Herald would not be deserving o ' the confidence reposed in it by the
people of Alliance and western Nebraska, ff it did not at this juncture
make a plain statement of facts relative to affairs in the leading city
of this part of the state.
.;ithor the mayor nor city auncil m oil any ilefense troiti us be
fore the people of Alliance, and if the slanderous statements that have
been published did not go beyond
space by referring to them thru T he Herald; but already they are be
ing repeated in neighboring towns to the detriment of our city. Only
a few days ago the writer was asked by -some one in a North l'latte
valley town regarding the matter, as iho something terrible had hap
pened here. We never have kiiowinirly defended official corruption
and never will do so. Whenever and wherever there may be need of
cleaning up, wo will bid Godspeed to the person or persons who un
dertake it, whether friend or foe. Hut the attempt to smirch public
officials in this city was not made for the sake of cleaning up anything,
but io clean out opposition to a fe.v would-W dictators at the opening
of a political campaign. It's a dirty bird that befouls its own nest,
even if by so doing a little political advantage can be gained, which
in this instance is very doubtful.
Here is the situation, stated without embellishment and as briefly
as possible consistent with being comprehensive,, We want readers
of The Herald outside of Alliance to note this statement and remem
ber it :
At the last city election in Alliance, which was the first election
held as a city' of the first class, two factions struggled for the election
of their candidates for mayor, and to some extent for members of the
city council. These two factions or parties were not designated as
republican, democrat, socialist, prohibitionist, wet ondry; but they
were commonly recognized as representing, on the one hand, a "wide
open" regime, and on the other hand a "law and order" policy. The
law and order faction won at the election, securing a majority for
their candidate for mayor in each of the four wards of the city.
We dislike exceedingly to say anything that reflects upon the sin
cerity of a brother editor, but necessity compels to state facts plainly
here, if we never j;efVr to it again. The Alliance Times, which is now
industriously trying to make it appear that Alliance is the worst city
in the state of Nebraska, supported the "wide open" faction, the ed
itor of that paper himself being their candidate for councilman, and
being defeated by the "law and order" candidate in his ward by a
vote of nearly two to one. It is not surprising, under the 'circum
stances, that he has since felt sore and would try in some way to even
up the score, but the nauseating way in which he exhibits his sores is
unfair to the city as a whole and it is only because we wish to stand
up for Alliance and do justice to the persons maligned that we take
any cognizance whatever of the matter.
It was of less importance at the last city election in Alliance who
chanced to be the candidates of the two factions above referred to
than what they stood for. The Herald has no animosity for the de
feated candidates whatever, and does not wish to print anything that
will add to their anguish of spirit because of their defeat Had the
editor of our more or less esteemed contemporary been wise enough
to let the dead paxt bury the past, there would be iiq occasion of open
ing old sores, and time, the healer of all ills, would have mollified then,
sooner or laler. Hut while on this subject we want to say that the re
sult of the city election last spring was everlastingly to Alliance's
credit. Furthermore, we wish to add that since occupving the office
or mayor, as wt as while holding the office of councilman, Penrose
h. Romig has proven himself to be a faithful and efficient public of
final and worthy of the confidence placed in him bv the voters of thi
city. '
.As for the attack unon Chief of Police Jeffers, no one who is will
t 'nua-Mte.' w,ih him believes a word that reflects upon his integritv.
I hat there ph. others who want his job is evident. Their ambitions
are perfectly legitimate and The Herald would tiot for one moment,
if it could deny them the right to reach the goal, if they can do so ir
an honorable way Hut they have no right to supplant the presenl
official by the methods that are now being tried.
Here is the gist of the whole matter in a nutshell: In a square
toed content between the "law and order" and the "wide open" fac-
nun ui i iir cn.v eieeiion or mo, the former won. Despairing of win
ning m another coiiWbf tht same kind, the liberals, as (Uiey. went te
