A Newspaper on Right Lines
By Editor
A Newspaper on Right Lines.—We have received a copy of the Chicago Daily Review, which some good people have started with the idea of giving to all those who desire it, a clean newspaper, “divested of the criminal, vicious, and sensational, and providing the intelligent reader with all the news worth remembering.” So says the editor, Ella Hamilton Durley. And further: “Nothing will be printed, either in the news or advertising columns, that may not be read aloud in the family circle, and fully explained to children. Neither liquor nor tobacco advertising will be accepted, nor will objectionable advertising of any kind.” The price is two cents a copy. By yearly subscription it is only $1.00. Such a paper deserves to succeed. The sample copy is a good one. But will it prove a success? We have been surprised, disappointed, and almost discouraged to see the eagerness and avidity with which professedly good Christians and reputedly clean people turn to the last sensational divorce or murder trial, and pass over the news of great importance. And yet there ought to be enough people in this country within reach of Chicago, to support a clean paper like the Chicago Daily Review, published at 1322 Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Ill. Its publishers and editors have our best wishes along the lines they have indicated.
