Sxf-aaa;e Apwolat. I oMmltlff to Is

Better oedlt lona for
Part of Yellow Journalism in the Causation
of the European War as the Germans See It
CoatrlbnWd b A.L Mm ft.
Conspicuous amongst the questions of
the day Is, "What lias caused the mora
or less predominant pro-British, or entl-
Oernian sentiment In the United States,
and why are many prominent dallies and
wreklles persistently and systematically
promoting the name by magnifying every
event favorable to the allies and unfev
orable to the Germans, and by Ignoring
or minimising everything that la unfav
able to the allies and favorable to the
Ormana?" The principal reaaon can no
doubt be traced to the fnrt that high
finance In the 1'nlted motes la ao closely
allied with high finance In England,
financial and commercial interests and
obligation being no closely Interwoven
an to be akin to a business partnership,
which would make It seem perfectly
natural that such Interests make their
Influence felt here in the creation of
pro-British sentiment. Nor la it snirpris
Ing that certain publishers make capital
out of thcae conditions. Take, for In
stance, Life; It la Xinderstood by but a
few that that weekly (and no doubt
there are many otbera In the same clam)
haa a large Canadian and other foreign
circulation. Not less than 10 per cent of
Its regular aubncrlbera are In Canada,
Who would Immediately cancel their sub
scription If It published anything the
least unfavorable to the British cause.
I Life makes a special bid for subscrip
tions In Great Britain, Canada and the
British possessions, maintaining an office
In the Brenms building In London, and
such foreign circulation haa no doubt
been doubled since the war. For another
Instance, take The Philistine and Elbert
Hubbard nauseating tirade on Em
peror Wllllani entitled, "Who Lifted the
Lid off of Hell 7" which, though some
thing Ilka the Tout breath of a sewer, he
advertises extensively at 36 per 1,000
copies, and no doubt finds many buyers.
The prime motive Is the dollar.
In another class stands the editor of the
"Courier-Journal," and old time Ken
tucky fir eater and ex-rebel, who, fifty
years ago, no doubt as freely used his
vituperative vocabulary against Abraham
Unooln aa ha now does against the Ger
mane, and all because Rutland was the
staunch friend and supporter of the con
ftJeracy. These circumstances, however, are but
a side tight on yellow journalism in the
United States, and have nothing to do
with the causes of the war. It la the
advent of yellow Journalism In England
that I wish to dwell upon.
Up to the end of the Vlotorlan period
the English press decently reflected the
good qualities of the English people
(which they still possess) and even
tlionch papers like the "Times" . were
not particularly German friendly, It
vouchsafed them honorable and gentle
manly treatment
During the latter half of th AO's, how
ever, by the coming of Alfred Harms-
worth, "the smart young man," yellow
Journalism was launched upon Its pros
perous career with the birth of the
"Daily MaO."
At first the older respectable papers
looked askance upon this new departure
as an adventurous publication, edited on
the plan of the yellow press In the United
Ptates, for which they prophesied an
early failure. ' Londoners bought this
a curi
osity, first denouncing, then ridiculing
restore.
That good Interurban lines would be the
jgreateet thing possible for the develop
ment of Omaha, and that.' therefore, thi
,thlag to do la to maka the laws of the
Istat mora lenient towari capital that
.might oome here to Invest In such lines,
ta the sentiment of the Omaha Real K
tat exchange, Senator N. P. Dcdge, Jr.,
was again before the exchange Wednes
day talking along this line. It was at
Ms suggestion that a committee was ap
pointed to Investigate the matter and
work with committees of any other or
ganisation that might be seeking similar
legislation. Th chairman appointed
Byron Hastings, F. D, Wead and tV C.
Patterson.'
Senator Dodge snld, "We hare no In
terurban lines here no real Interurban
: systems, I mean. They would be a won-(
derful thing for the city. The greatest
km tog that could be mnde In a real es
tate way, for example would be to know
where the first big Interurban line is
going to run and to buy up every font of
ground along the right-of-way."
Ta fait now Offices.
The executive' committee of the Heal
Xstata exchange was delegated .o look
into the matter of suggesting legislation
that would tend to do away with county
and city offices that are believed to
ta mora or less useless. This was also
on the suggestion of Senator Dodge.
Xodge wanted to know whether anyone
thought It right, for example, that an
assistant city attorney ahould be kept
en the payroll at 12.00 or better and be
allowed to take outside ease for his own
profit. He wanted to know If anybody
thought a gaa eoramlssioner was neces
sary In the city. Ha repeated over and
over that ha hopedi the movement could
y carried 'on without personalities, as
he said he wag making no attack on any
Individual In these offices, but on the
! offices themselves. M ' wish." he said,
'"'that you would make an Investigation
of this and get back of the movement
There ia no campaign on In the 'matter.
.There is no personality back cat it It
is purely a matter of buHlnena and
should be taken up In that way. I wish
tost the Commercial club, the exchange
and other organisation would get back
of these movements so that these things
could be presented as the sentiment of
organisations and bodies that have In
vestigated from a business standpoint,".

The fact that It Is not exploited more

lines.
i Journalism from taking hold In England,
although for the time being the Dally
Mall had but little Influence politically.
Then all at once came the celebrated
"President Kruger-Kalser William" tel
egram, a most portentous historical In
cident and most opportune for Mr. Al
fred Harmsworth, who, with sn eagle
eye, pounced upon the opportunity to
make cental out of the situation by
starting a furious and shameless Ger
man baiting campaign. The poison which
the Dally Mall at that time Injected Into
British Journalism has never since been
eliminated from the English body poli
tic, on which It haa grown like a can
cer, destroying ths sound common sense
of the English publlo, so far a it per
tained to Its relation with' Germany.
' Mr. Harmsworth'a nefarious scheme
succeeded remarkably well, and his Ger
man bating campaign not only brought
many millions Into hie coffers, but gave
him an enormous prestige, and made him j
a power within the British brass. Ills
golden harvest enabled him to found and
purchase weeklies and magaslnos, thus
widening Immensely the scope of hi In
fluence, until million absorbed the out
pouring of hi poisonous pen as their,
regular diet One can scarcely conceive
the pernicious result of his malicious
slander of Germany, and the extent to
which they have been carried. It ha
caused Innumerable novels and sketches
of anti-German tendency to be published,
which helped to make an indelible im
pression upon the publlo mind.
HI success tempted others, and
amongst them Arthur Pearson, who
few year after thsblrJU of the Dally
Mail founded the Daily Express, another
halfpenny paper of even lower standards
than the' Mall. It stooped to the very
lowest sensations, brought the most Im
pudent Ilea from all countries In (he form
of faked original telegrama, and waa the
paper which at the time of the Boxer
Insurrection published the fake new of
the assassination of all Europeans In
Peking, which caused the German em
peror to offer a reward of 1,000 taels for
every white person rescued from the
Boxer. Mr. Pearson enjoyed, like Mr.
Harmaworth, only to a greater extent,
the protection of the Influential colonial
secretary, Joseph Chamberlain, with
whose help he succeeded, within a few
years, In obtaining possession a string
of Influential paper.
- Although being but 2s year old, he al
ready controlled besides the Daily . Ex
press, the St James QaseUs, the London
and Birmingham Gasette, the Birming
ham Dispatch, the Leicester Evening
News, ttu North Mall and the Evening
Mail. A fierce competition between
Harmsworth and Pearson set In and lasted
for year a, until, late In 1904, when Fear
aon. Just prior to the end of the unionist
career of Balfour, acquired the well
known Standard, principal organ of
the conservative!, for 83,600,000. With this
stategera Chamberlain triuinpbed, be
cause he now had within hie grasp a
vast newspaper combination which did
hi bidding, supporting and promoting his
imperialistic andtprotectlonlst poll dee. Bu
Pearson had made hie reckoning without
Harmsworth, who waa even more dex
trous and unscrupulous than the new
editor of the Standard, Itarmsworth
knew that the days of the Tories were
counted, and hedged to Identify himself
unnecessarily with the conservatives, and
his reward came early. Through Lord
Rothschild, Harmsworth bad already been
Introduced at court, and King Edward,
who appreciated hi "buslnees" talent,
and who waa even more than a matoh
for htm In political wiles, recognised
what an enormous support could be se
cured through such newspaper magnatea
function, and finally in December, 105,
the king raised him to the peerage with
the rank of baronet I. e Mr. Alfred
Harmsworth waa created Lord North
cltffe. As yet however, Mr. Pearson
through ehls ownership of the Standard
still outclassed Harmsworth, but Willi th
new title and the blind toadyism of tlx
English publlo to the titled few, epe
dally when possessed of luxurious castles
In the country, the star of the newly
made Lord Northcllffe waa In the ascend
ency, while the declining prosperity of
the old respected London papers came to
his further assistance.
While the old established .Time grad
ually ceased to be a paying Investment
Its position having been undermined by
such paper a the Dally Mail and Ex
press, and Vhen the Walter family, Ita
owners since the eighteenth century, waa
ready to surrender Ita possession to Its
younger and more influential competitors,
Harmsworth had hi final inning and
became one of the coterie to take over
this oldest of England' papers, which
haa since then come Into the sole control
of Lord Northcllffe. and the newly-baked
lord fully Justified all the expectations of
King Edward. Day after day hi many
papers have agitated and preached Ger
man hatred, and In doing ao have never
hesitated to stoop to the meanest ma
licious fabrication, but in ordfcr to
give them a still wider scope. Lord
Northcllffe started the Pari edition of
the Daily Mall, and also arranged for
an exchange of new with the Part
Matin, a paper owned and controlled by
the International adventurer. Banais
Varllla, wju. In the pay of the United
States "founded" the Bopubllo of Pan
ama. Sir Edward Grey could not have
found anywhere a better manager for hta
anti-German policies than Lord North
cllffe. He Is undoubtedly the very souroe
of poisoning the wells of publlo opinion
In England and of fanning the flame of
commercial rivalry Into a world . con
flagration of hatred between kindred na
tions. History will record Lord North
cllffe and his yellow presa as one of the
most guilty ln bringing about conditions
In England, which made possible anl.
perhaps. Inevitable, the most terrible of
all wars.
. Without wishing to assail the 'sacred
Institution of an unmuxsled press, It may
not b amiss to point out a lesson as to
curbing yellow journalism, which even
In these United States, looms up every
now and then as a menace to the peace
of our country. , A. ' I MBTEB.

SHOP HAND INDAYTOH CLUB
So Says 7. M. Guild, Secretary of
Greater Dayton, Ajsooiation.
TELLS OF BOND ISSUE FIGHT
Defeats Socialist Plaa fov Maalelpal

ered Oeed ervtee.
Ve have the most democratic organi
sation In the oountry if not tn the world,"
said John M. Guild, secretary of the
Greater Dayton association, when speak
ing of that organisation. Mr. Guild and
family are in Omaha visiting Mrs. Guild's
father and sister, J. A. Hake and Miss
Mabte Hake. 2616 Bouth Thlrtyreecond
street "We have 7,800 member ln the
Greater Dayton association," continue I
Mr. Guild, "and this Includes everybody
from the president of the biggest busi
ness concern to the foundry hand ln the
shop. We want It to be representative
In this way, and It oertalnly Is. The
membership fee Is merely 26 and there
Is no extra Initiation fee. Five dollars
a year pays me aues, ana mm manes it
possible for almost anyone to join. Thus
the factory hand that loins. Immediately
has an eqaal voice In the affairs of the
association with the president of his
company.
Enter Bond Fight.
Speaking of recent propositions sub
mitted at election Mr. Guild mentioned
a bond fight at the general election In
the fall, when all bond propositions were
defeated at Dayton. The socialists sub
mitted a proposition for - a municipal
electric light plant for 1600,000. after the
city government had rejected ttieii"
proposal. The Greater Dayton associ
ation opposed tt as it did not think it
expedient at thia time to establish a llttlo
municipal plant of this kind that coutl
at best serve only a small section of
the city. "What would have been the
use," says Mr. Guild, "to build a llttk
tlant when the present privately owne l
plant is so much greater. What good
would a little 1600.000 plant be ln a city
where' the establlahed plant has perhaps
millions Invested tn underground conduits
alone? That was the way we, felt about
It and we went oa record against It We
also went on record against a sort of tax
elimination proposition In the city. Well,
both measures were defeated, but as a
matter eg fact the three bond proposi
tions that we favored also went down
to defeat with these two measures. We
favored bond propositions for grade
elimination on tha tracks ln the city, for
the establishment of parks In districts'
that sftt. now dumps, and favored a bond
proposition for a county experiment farm.
All these were defeated. So we feel that
we won ln defeating two propositions an-1
lost In the three propositions we favored. "t
