Crime News
An announccnicnt'prlnted in a re-
cent Lane on The Springfield (Mm)
Union'that news of petty crimes will
be omitted from its columns. brings
up a very important point in mod-
ern newspaper practice.
The dividing line between n ma-
jor crime and n potty crime is hard
to draw. It is the claim of some
newspaper critics that all the press
does is to pander to the salacious
and the baser instincts. Others as~
sort that it is its plain duty to pre-
lent the facts of the panorama of
life without Hos. -
We invite rcadcrs of The Evening
Sentinel to contribute their views on
this subject. The reader is the
court of last appcal. The editor. if
he is at all wise. attempts to reflect
the opinions and thoughts of his
readers. not to superimposo his be—
liefs onto them. no matter how su-
perior he may considcr them.
Is there too much petty crime
news published in the local press of
Norwalk?
“'lmt upr: of news do the rumor-
tt)’ of l'clldt‘TS most pr-‘fcr?
Letters answering those questions
will make very interesting reading.
The reasons that prompted The
- Springfield L'nicn to bar news of
petty crimes from its columns are
no valid and so wcll stated that we
are reproducing that below:
"In pursuance to its policy to
publish a newspaper that meets the
requirements cf discriminating rcad-
en, the [Men hereafter will 01m!

crimes and misdemeanors.
"In deciding on this course. thc‘
Union is actuatcd by a desire tog
prevent. so far as possibte, injury
being done to tnnsgressors through
publicity that may be disproportion.
ate to the nature of their excuses.
"Such news is of so little conse-
‘quencc as to be luraiy worth the
space it occupies lt directly. and
ndverseiy affects tLr: person or per-
sons involved and his or their fam-
ll)’ connections. but is neither of
special Interest nor of value to the
great mass of readers. It nppeals
primarily to a morbid curiosny that
this newspaper feels under no obli-
gation to gratify. It is small town
stuff. Springflcld has grown beyond

The popular argument in favor of.
the widening of the street. as! un-

Yet. upon investigation. I find that
the business men in the City of Nor.

street. and that things might just as
well be left as they are for a few

Cannot the nature lovers of the
city have a voice in the matter,
How can we have a “city beautiful"
