WILL ELIMINATE STORY OF" \H
BUCKLE CASE
The Arbuckle case Is being
tried in San Francisco. The
trial will uncover the detesta
ble filth connected with that
sordid affair. Our telegraph
news service is carrying as
complete details as the rest.
But we have concluded that we
shall eliminate from the col

description of tills affair.
We do this out of respect
and regard for the homes into
which our paper enters and re
spect for the paper and our
selves.

would be unpardonable.
We believe it would make
for the purity of the atmos
phere of our community could
it be eliminated from all pa
pers. or papers that carry it,
from b11 homes.
It Is gratifying to note the in
creasing number of newspapers
which are taking this stand, and as
such action no doubt is prompted
by public sentiment in the various
communities in which such papers
are published, it may be regarded as
a rebuke by the people of those com
munities to the newspapers which
put Indecency before decency In
newspaper conduct.
