Cincinnati Magazine
The Cincinnati Post [October 6]:
âWe have right here in this city a daily newspaper unfit to be read by any human being, much less a Christian. Every day it is filled with reading matter that is filthy, nasty, obscene and abominable. The amount of injury that paper is doing right in our midst is incalculable. I beg you, fathers and mothers, who have the welfare of your children at heart, do not let their young minds be polluted by allowing them to read that vile sheet.â
The publication in question? None other than
The Cincinnati Enquirer. The offending material? A âpersonalsâ column in the classified advertising section.
