Sermons Delivered by Nebraska Editors
"The Press as a Factor In Raisins the Standard of Morality In Ne
braska" was the topic upon which odltora from various towns In tho state
addressed Omaha congregations yesterday. Each gave his views upon the
work of tho press, Borne from tho standpoint of Its past accompltshmonU
ahd Its future possibilities, while others dwelt upon tho neod of editorial
reformation. Excerpta from their addresses follow:
K. E. CORRELIi,
Editor of the Hebron Jonrnnl At
United' Presbyterian Chnrch.
"It Is the province of newspaperdom
to test that which rings true, discerning
tho difference between the polltUclan
who works the people, end the states
man who works for his constituents.
Conscientious editors serve their gov
ernment with true and unbounded pat
riotism, pointing the finger of hope Up
ward and was from that which Is
base. In the battles for humanity's
sake, tho newspapers hold before an
onward marching race that banner ot
Ideals which shall never bo trailed in
subserviency to mercenary ends.
"Serving as a criterion of national
progress, guided by Illustrious, precedents
and Inspired by high Ideals, the press
ever gives a full measure of publlo
service. The strength of somo of tho
editorials nearly equals that of one
of tho first members of tho craft,
samsdn, Who attained fame because
ho "pled 'two columns of solid matter.
"There aro so many standards good,
bad and Indifferent that there Is uni
versal need for constant alertness,
stimulated by the press with Its repeated
utilisation of tho psychological laws of
suggestion. One can hardly conceive
of reforms accomplished without that
publlclty-tha creation of sentiment, tho
appeals for progress, tho warnings of
dangers and the awakening of con
science which Is achlevod through the
tireless and tiresome efforts of tho
press. With Ideals thus held before the
public, people are drawn away from
luxurious self-pandering, which lulls
tho soul to seek IU ease, with ears
deafened to the clarion calls of man's
duty to man."
ANNUS VIO GATES,
Editor of the Dlnlr Trllinne At
Dicta Memorial Chnrch,
"The virtues of the press ore so varied
and Its Influence on the morals so self
ovldent lhat they are recognized easily,
and any Intelligent Individual or com
munity readily admits them. The news
paper Is generally a potent factor for
uplifting tho morals of Its particular .lo
cality. Its Influence often spreads llko
a green bay tree far beyond the confines
of Its Immediate district, acting as a
search light in 'the dark places where
vice exist and crime is rampant The
newspaper Is the pioneer that blaxes the
way for officers of the law, for charity
organisations and for the reign of clvlo
righteousness.
"With no people does the press have
such Influence as with Americans be
cause universal education has made even
the poorest classes of the land readers.
Wo have pointed with pride for years to
Nebraska's low percentage of Illiteracy,
and because of this general Intelligence
practically every citizen of the state Is
Influenced to a greater or less extent by
soma city or country newspaper. People
of this generation depend almost en
tirely upon tho press for their Informa
tion, whereas In former days men se-

"It l due to the press, the newspapers
of Nebraska as well as olsawlm-o, that
war la being mado upon cheap female
labor, one of the great factors In driving
women to an Immoral life. A modern
writer has recently said, "A good woman
would bo good oven though she starved."
Such assertions sound very grand and
perhaps glvo ono an exalted opinion of
tho writer, but statistics do not prove It
Perhaps In your own city Instances may
bo found of women who have actually
been forced Into tht underworld because,
not only herself but also her smnll chil
dren wero starving-starving In a land
of plenty and all because the pittance
she received from hsr labors over the i
washtub, in the shop or office was not J
onough to live upon even In a meager'
way. Here again your great metropoll- .
tan dallies, presided over by a wide
awake energetic set of men with great
brains and equally large hearts, found
those conditions existing, pointed out the
wrongs and were the prime factors In
tho redemption ot these" women, bocauso
they discovered the wrong and used the
columns of their papers to protect the.
morals of tho city by correotlng tho false
living ot tho individual."
A. W. LADD,
Editor of tho Albion Neves At
Clifton Hill Presbyterian Church".
"Thcro Is nothing so powerful as pub
llo sentiment Not even kings, presi
dents, legislative bodies, or the courts,
can long stand In opposition to public
sentiment. The power of the press, which
Is universally conceded to be a real thing,
lies In Its opportunity and efficiency in
Influencing publlo sentiment Not that
everybody will believe or embrace every
opinion or theory they read, but by re
iteration day after day It will either tend
to convince them of Its truth or clarify
the opposition to tho Idea advanced. The
great power of press Ilea In Its ability
to crystallze publlo sentiment; to present
all sides of a question. The editor of a
paper Is not and cannot be a dictator.
Ho Is no mora competent to pronounce
opinions on questions Important to the
general publlo than aro many other men
who are not editors. Tho fact that his
position necessitates his expressing an
opinion, and that his reputation, among
his fellow men Is gauged by the Intel
ligence of his position on publlo ques
tions, Impels him to carefully consider
and study these questions. The fact that
many paople are depending on some on
to lead them In their thinking, and In
the formation of lines of action, makes
the editor's position one of tremendous
responsibility.
"Now, as a whole, Is the periodical
press of Nebraska maintaining a com
mendable position In elevating tho
thought and action ot our people? Is It
exerting Its influence to promote enter
prise, morality, temperance and the gen
eral good of society 7 It would Indeed
bo deplorable If It were not I believe, as
a whole, It Is doing all these things In
greater measure today than ever before.
The country newspapers, which are in a
class quite different In many respects
from the city dallies, are typical of the
intelligent, enterprising people of our
state. They are Impelled by the publlo
sentiment of their respective communities
to stand tor morality, good schools, clean
municipal government and obedience to
law.
A. B. WOOD,
Editor of the Gerlncc Courier At
First Christian Chnrch.
"In the moral tone of the press, a dis
tinct advancement has beon made In re
cent years. There were times when edi
tors were rightfully regarded as a more
or less godless and ribald lot, but the
days when such a sweeping category was
possible or permissible of tho profession
as a whole havo vanished. It need not
bo claimed for the press of Nebraska
that It Is conducted by men who are
better than those engaged In other ave
nues of employment There are some
ways, however. In which the newspaper
men, It he be a representative one, has
a personal reason for being better, for
exerting a more uplifting influence, for
applying the moral yardstick to his dally
task. One of the moat powerful of these
reasons Is the fact of restraint. Indicated
heretofore In directly dealing with the
public. Tho editor of a country paper,
particularly, which may be said to rep
resent the press of this state, has learned
this lesson. While a- lawyer deals with
the publlo In but a limited way, as when
presenting his arguments to a Judge or
Jury, he Is responsible only, to his client
Even the minister deals only with the
publlo In a comparative sense, being
employed as the exponent of a congre
gation of a given belief, with which hs
Is tn accord, or should be. But the
entire community, formed of compon
ents of every shade of belief and opin
ion, Is the audience of the newspaper
man, and he must and does weigh well
every word be places upon the printed
page. This restraint Is natural, and not
to be condemned. While the newspaper
Is In a large sense a commercial Institu
tion, the knowledge that the printed
word. If not In harmony with morality,
will arise some day to confront him
must keep htm within due bounds. Self
respect alone should dictate a high
moral tone, but It must be admitted that
such would not always be the case with
out this restraint"
O. O. DUCK,
Editor of Newman Grove Reporter
At North Side Presbyterian
Chnrch.
"I have spent most of my life tn
newspaper work and my experience and
observation Is that the reporter, who
gets, and the editor who prints a sen
sational story hardly ever thinks of the
public benefactor feature ot It until
someone begins to criticise htm. There
Is the same keen delight In unearthing
ADVERTISING IS THE
ONLY WAY

Someone once told a mer
chant: "You would better

iff will advertise for you
later." The sheriff did.
the dotal Is ot a sensational story and
printing U that there ts In hunting, or
Physical encounters or other Intense
forms of passing the time. The more
difficult It Is to get the more Innocent
persons who are mado to suffer, the
more harrowing It Is to tho feelings, the
greater tho satisfaction thero Is tn
printing It A wronged wife or girl, a
sorrowing mother are always valuable
assets In such a story and no attention
Is paid to the fact that publicity only
Increases their agony,
"It Is true that there are exceptions.
Occasions arise whsn It becomes the
duty of tho editor to print stories that
seem to conflict with my theories, but
there Is a dltferenco between what must
bo done and In making the columns of
a nowspaper a clearing house for all
tho wickedness ot which human naturi
Is capable. One Is a warning against
evil, tho other Is an advertisement for
vll.
"No man In any community has a
largor audience than the editor or Is
In touch with more people. He reaches
all ages, all conditions, all creeds,7 all
bellofs. If ho really wants to Impress
his personality upon a ptoplo h has
an unparalelled opportunity for dotnirno.
And most country editors arc actuated
by a desire to bo something moro than
m6ro purveyor of news.
"The first duty of a newspaper Is to
glvo tho news, that Is tho reason for
Its existence, but tho editor can say
what kind of news he will glvo and after
he has givon tho news he can wrlto
his comments and give such other In
formation as ho thinks desirable."

Editor nf Lyons Mirror.
' "When I first looked out over Ne
braska's vast plains fifty-six years ago.
I beheld a wild and uninhabited land,
where the birds ot tho air and tho wild
beasts of the forest lived unmolested
and the winding streams coursed down
to the Missouri river, unobstructed by
the hand of man. The fleeting years
passed on and tho advanced guard ot
tho pioneers who had settled along the
Missouri river began to push westward
over the primeval prairies of Nebraska,
and soon the little school house and the
churches began to dot the land. And
then came tho printing press to assist
In the march of civilisation. And from

"General Tectimseh Sherman was fifty
years ahesd ot his Urns when he saldt
'War Is Hell.1 He said this In the
days when war was popular. The battle
cry among the masses ot every land

a complete revolution In the make-up ot

causa of evil In our midst and that Is
where the editors can do more good than
any one else. Men who are adverse to
listening to the pastor because they
think he has a special Interest In stand

the paper."

"Tho fear of publicity Is a greater
detnrrsnt to crime than Is the fear of
legal punishment Sensational accounts
of crime, Intended to appeal only to the
curiosity ot the morbid, are ot course
unnecessary and reprehensible. The
newspapers ot Nebraska are not guilty
of that offense. Thero Is only one class
of cases the trial of whloh they do not
leave to the courts. Those are the cases
In which the courts fall to mete out Jus
tice. When the offender is permitted to
escape by reason of his wealth or In
fluence, by the connlvanoe ot publlo of
ficials or by the lamentable Invention of
technicalities by our supreme courts-
then tho newspaper steps tn. It becomes
at once Judge, Jury and exeoutloner. It
arraigns the culprit In the high court ot
publlo opinion, brings forward the evi
dence of his guilt -nd passes upon htm
a sentenoe from which there Is no ap

"Morality is an economic question. "It
Is hard for an empty saolc to stand up
right" The advance guard ot statesman
ship and the press have come to see It
And It ts the work of these men and
these papers that is really going to have
an Influence as a factor tn raising the
standard of morality tn Nebraska, tn the
United Btates of America and In tho
world,
"The Investigating committee of the
Illinois legislature saw a glimmer ot the
truth when they questioned the women
ot the under world as to whether the
reason of thslr downtalt had been pov

"In the subject assigned there are texts
for a thousand sermons, for the Nebraska
press Is second only to the Bible tn Its
spiritual teaching. True, the press does
not preach sermons, at least, not tn that
name. It does not tag morals on Its news
stories, but the lessons are so plain that
'he "who runs may read.1 And, back of
the tragic, and between the lines ot what
publlo censorship Is pleased to call the
sensational, facts of many ot the front
page stories ot our Nebraska newspaper,
one may find such texts asi 'Whatsoever
a man soweth, that also shall he reap';
'He that soweth to the flesh, shall of the
flesh reap corruption'; 'He that sows tn
the wind shall reap In the whirlwind':
and 'The wages ot sin Is death.' God Is
speaking loudly, clearly and forcibly In
every newspaper In the state, and the
cold-typed story of The Wages of Bin Ts
Death' brings the moral aspect of the
case to men and to women wtth more
vividness and moro weight than can
preacher or teacher.
"The publicity given by the press gen
erally tends to lessen evil conditions, and
thus renders n useful service to the pub
lic. Before the existence of dally news
papers, men might hope to commit crime,
elude the officers and start life anew a
few hundred miles away. Now the entire
world, thanks to the thunder of ths
printing press, offers no place ot refuge
to the wrongdoer. Because the papers
print the news the criminal knows the
eyes of the world are upon him and the
dread of publicity often has a deterrent
Influence upon those Inclined to ths com
mission of crime."
