A CURSE TO THE COUNTRY
Every day brings new evidence of
tho scandalous part played by the
sensational newspapers of this coun
try in the present war. Ever since
the war began our government has
been hampered, our army discour
aged, and our national reputation
blackened abroad by the ignorant or
irresponsible correspondents who
have been Sent to the front by equal
ly ignorant or Irresponsible editors.
In the last three months it is safe to
say these agents of a depraved press
have done more to damage our gov
ernment, our generals, and our ad
mirals in the eyes of the world than
all the newspapers of the European
continent.
Perhaps the most conspicuous of
such offenders against public de
cency have been Poultney" Bigtlow,
Richard Harding Davis and Sylves
ter Scovtl. While the army was
still at Tampa, liigelow wrote a let
ter charging our officers with incom
petence, our troops with lack of dis
cipline, and our commissariat with
demoralization. There was abso
lutely no excuse for this except that
Bigelow might desire to bring bis
name prominently before the public
and to show his employers his abil
ity to advertise their publications
throughout the country. He knew
that he was harassing the United
States government; he knew that, as
far as in him lay, he was winning
friends in Europe for Spain; he knew
that be was slandering onr army and
disheartening our people; yet, in the
interests of yellow journalism, he
published his letter.
That letter was re published broad
cast in Europe and led some of the
ablest strategists at once to compare
the United States with France before
the collapse at Metz. In Germany
it was said that Mr. Blgelow's "ex
posure" justified the belief that our
soldiers were even more incompolent
lj' handled than those of Spain.
Apparently envious of Bielow's
laurels, Richard Harding Davis came
forward at a still more critical junc
ture with an equally disreputable at
tack on our army. When our troops
had pressed on without artillery or
wagons, and, at great sacrifice, had
carried the outposts near Santiago,
this undereducated and underbred
tuft hunter gave rein to his imagina
tion and under the spur of wounded
vanity and petty resentment wrote a
villainous screed on General Shafter.
IIt accused our general in command
of incompetence, of cruelty, of in
difference to the welfare of the army,
i and of criminal negligence in the
discharge of his duty. This pack of
lies was telegraphed to Europe by
the Associated Press and published
just at the moment when European
judgment was hanging in the bal
ance. Had Davis betrayed our mil
itary secrets to the enemy he could
not have done the country equal
harm. His conduct was worse than
treason, yet we have not heard that
his newspaper employer has dis-
1 -5 i ...
vuargeu mm, or even disciplined
him.
It was reserved, however, for Syl
vester Scovel to descend to the low
est depths of yellow journalism in
the present war. Because he was
not allowed to make himself conspi
ious when our flag was raised over
Santiago, he walked up to the Amer
ican . commander and tried to 6lap
him in the face. Had a French or
German correspondent done the
same thing under similar circum
stances he would have been shot or
bayoneted on the spot, and few
would have said that he did not de
serve his fate.
For years the sensational journals
of the American press have been go
ing from bad to worse, and they had
become the curse of the country
long before the war began. Now
they have revealed themselves, not
only as the exponents of moral deg
radation, but as the organs of open
treason. They presume not only to
pry into the secrets of the family, to
dictate the course of financiers, and
to tyrannize Bociety, but also to pre
scribe policies to our statesmen, to
command obedience from our sol
diers, and to exact humble deference
from our generals . and admirals.
