WHEN Lal'o Young of I own told the senate that the
editors, and not congress, made the laws and ruled
the nation, lie told a half truth. The power of an honest
press is irrisitible, but so many of the great newspapers
have become journalistic prostitutes or are owned outright
by the "interests" that also control congress, that the
power of the press is slight compared to what it might be.
TJiccoinmercjialijmi.of ilie,,)r(&s Las Jcept pace (i
the growth of commercialism generally. Much capital is
required to finance a great newspaper. Those furnishing
the money, not only demand interest upon tJie investment,
but also protection in news and editorial columns. The
counting house dictates the policy., 1 writers must live
and they write accordingly, not because they believe what
they say or have any heart or soul in it, but they need the
moiiey.
It is only here and there that an editor really has the
last say, is the dominant force in the metropolitan journal.
Once in a while the owner of such a paper is a trained
newspaper man, who conducts his paper fearlessly and in
dependently for the right as it is given him to see it,
but such instances are rare and the plodding of the hired
an along the lines of least resistance, has largely replaced
ie fire of genius and the ring of sincerity.
To attempt to secure an expression or puonc opinion oy
((noting metropolitan newspapers in various sections of the
countrj , is wasted effort. But few of them reflect what
the people are thinking, or what their own editors are
thinking, but what the "interests," who not only con
trol the newspapers, but various allied commercial and
political interests, want published.. Ilence the readers,
more and more, look to the ,city newspaper simply for
news and take with a grain of salt the tainted editorial
column, distrust it entirely or overlook it altogether, bo
the editorial is in danger o'ij becoming sort of a vermiform
appendix of journalism.
Such fields of human interest, as the management and
control of government and business, the. growth of special
privilege, the development of the billionaire, and the com
plex and changing social conditions have been left to popu
larize the magazine which from being purely a literary
product, by appropriating more and more the functions
of tlio newspaper is becoming a necessary factor in the na
tion's life by filling a universal demand for that which
the newspaper ought to but fails to supply. And the maga
zine is written by the former journalist denied tho right
to voice his convictions and findings in the newspaper.
The country press is as a rule more independent than
the city pressbut it is often tainted by commercialism as
well as inefficiency, lazyness and cowardice, and fre
quently hampered by poverty. It is claimed that most
country papers are as good as their support warrants, but
the way to secure better support is to make a better prod
uct, and no matter how small the paper is, it can be made
worth while.
