NOME. ALASKA, JULY 25, 1916.
There are not a few people who
s to possess a strongly developed
i.l'a that the chief office of a news
paper, aside from its primary func
ti< n of dispensing the news, is to be
continually and forever "roasting"
somebody or something. The news
paper, in their view, is supposed to
e,institute itself a sort of general
,-ourt in which are tried all manner
ut' delinquencies, to act as judge and
jury and also as a species of cudgel
to enforce its own decrees by belab
oring everything which does not meet
wit 11 its approval. Every Tom, Dick
or Harry who sees, or thinks he sees
something which does not exactly
agree with his own view of things
expects and believes that it is the
hounden duty of the newspaper to
unload verba 1 fusillades like a battery
of machine guns when the matter or
condition is brought to its atten
I ion.
Every one who has a grievance, real
or fancied, against a public official
or a public or private corporation
runs to the newspaper if an oppor
tunity is presented, expecting it to
get immediately busy with some kind
of “roast." Particularly with respect
to public officers, it is conceived the
duty of the newspaper h> wing the
stinging shafts of denunciation or
disapproval whenever they do, or do
not do, something which these self
constituted arbiters conceive should
or should not tie done. And, not sel
dom, do they expect the newspaper to
take cognizance of things which by
no stretch of the imagination can be
considered as matters of public con
cern.
On any and every occasion the
newspaper is expected to spend tor
rents of verbosity in an attempt to
bring things to a state agreeable to
their views and this without regard
to justice or right or mitigating con
ditions. And, if the newspapers does
not do it, or does it in a manner which
does nol exactly coincide with their
ideas, then Ihe newspaper itself comes i
in fm disapproval. If the paper does
not turn to and flay the public official
who is guilty of some trifling delin
quency. regardless of circumstances
or conditions, if a public duty is over
looked or neglected in the slightest
degree: if a corporation, public or pri
vate, does not grant all that is de
manded of it by an unreasoning and
generally narrow minded public; if
almost anything happens which tends
to place some one in a position where
they are subject to criticism, and the
newspaper does not take it up, beat
the tanbark, and otherwise demean
itself as a howling Hottentot, then
there is something wrong with the
wrong with the newspaper. It is either
a, rotten sheet, is subsidized or is a
four (lusher or is lacking in backbone
and fit only for lighting fires. Hen
son or unreason are usually not to be

considered; circumstances, rondltlons,
or attendant factors must be disre
garded. Nothing must be taken into
Kccount. The newspaper must rip
and rage, rant and roar until it is,
figuratively, black in the face before
this peculiar class are ready to con
sider that it is upholding its duty to
the public. The truth of the matter
is that most these people are usually
four fiushers" themselves. In ninety
nine cases out u hundred they have
not the nerve to go after those whom
they deem offenders themselves. When
it come right down to "going after"
some one, ns they expect the news
paper to do, they are seldom there.
When somebody needs "roasting" they
are usually quiet as mice. Suggest
to them that- they take the initiative
in correcting a public abuse, in sup
pressing a public evil, and they
speedily find a hundred reasons why
they do not care to place themselves
on record. Public or private rotten
ness (nay pollute the ground they
tread, the ail' they breathe, but not
one in a dozen has the nerve to grab
the disinfecting bottle and help to
suppress the stench.
They will have enough opinions to
choke tin1 brain of a sage until it
comes to standing up before the pub
lic to tell what they think. When it
’comes to putting themselves forward
s champions of the right and de- ,
fenders of the public weal they are not
there by a long shot. They are will
ing enough for some one else to do
lie "roasting,” all right, but not
iliemselves, unless it is in the editor’s
■e nctinn where no one will overhear
and they are, besides, morally cer
tain that he will not give them away.
II is, of course, the acknowledged
duty of the newspaper to uphold the
light, the public welfare, and to lend
itself to the correction of all evils,
punlic or private, which threaten the
public peace, safety or prosperity, but
lIn- does not menn that it must he
forever packing a stuffed club to slam
every offender that appears, regard
less of reasons or conditions. It is
unreasonable to expect il lo do so.
There is a time to roast and a time
to refrain and, as a general thing, the
newspaper knows when a roast is
Justifiably due and when it is not.
\nd liie great majority are not slow
in coming through when the time is
upper! line.
