J LSI as Shitkcsii'!iie wtis 1 he outstanding iigtire t liie hliza-ln-thaii jiki Gladstone of the Victorian a''e, so Lord Xortliulil'fi! was the oiitstuiitlinK figure of what ini;lit lie culled tin; Publicity Aj;u. Lord Xortheliffe was undoubtedly the greatest "newspaper" man who ever lived. Through the power of the press he became one of the ten or twelve most powerful individuals in the world. In a sense he made his newspapers rcat, but, in a truer sense his newspapers made him ureat. The "Times" was a great newspaper before Xorlheliffe shocked all the traditions of upper class Kngland by purrhasinj; it. All that Xorlheliffe did was lo prove eipial to that opportunity, to develop the eiipaeily to use the power which the; purchase jjave him. That power diil not fundamentally lie in Xorthcliffc, but in the printed word. This is not lo deny Xorlheliffe was a great man. lie was, In fact he was that rare genus, a real superman. In nearly every way he was above the common run, in physical vitality and strength, in punch, in keen political sense, in courage. But the point to be stressed is that had he lived in the Klizabethan or. the Victorian age, instead of the I'ublleily Age, he would have been lost in the shuffle of successful mediocrities. Although essentially American in spirit, it is doubtful if North-' elil'fe would have altained such eminence in any country outside of Kngland. For his peculiar slrenglh, journalistically, was geographi cal. The Times, for example;, could cover Kngland n a few hours. AVhat Northelffe wrote at midnight, or told his chief of staff to write, was read by practically the entire nation, the following morning. Xo single newspaper could cover the United .Stales in the same way, and no people read newspapers as do the Knglish speaking peoples. The question will probably never be settled as to who or what won tho world war. Hut this much is certain, one of the greatest single factors was ullied publicity propoganda, bringing to the nations of iho world the facts, the Irue issues in the struggle, arousing the world's conscience and as a result its fighting spirit. Xorthcliffc did that. ' ' And as far as a newspaper man can, he told the truth,' the truth not only about Germany, but the truth about Kngland. In this direc tion he was supremely faithful to the very highest journalistic ideals. Instead of taking tho easy way nnd drifting with public opinion, he fought public opinion whenever he believed it to be wrong. Jle was, therefore, a true leader, and in an unusual sense a true patriot.. ' ' ' ' Xo incident in his career more vividly demonstrates this. trait than his sensational and unexpected altacli upon Lord Kitehner. Kitchner when Northeliffe started his drum fire, was the chief hero and idol of the British people. Kitchner was to win tho war. Only Kitchner could win the war. And then this upstart newspaper man, this civil ian, without a solitary decoration on his chest, this ruthless ill-bred ink-slTiigcr, proceeded to smash the Kitehner temple. i , -t The result was awl'ul. Not onljH'or Kitchner but for Northeliffe. The "Times" was luirred from every Tory club ill London, the trait orus sheet was burned from Montreal to Sydney, Northeliffe", was booed and spat upon, but nothing deterred 'The Chief.". He kept hammering away until Kitchner and Asipiith wero out of office, Lloyd (leorge at tho helm and for the first time heavy explosives, in Klead of shrapnel, rose, from the British lines in Flanders. fl it was a great victory. Northeliffe andLloyd George saved the day for England. And thou quite characteristically Northeliffe hav ing made Lloyd iGeorge, proceeded to break him, or try to, not on personal grounds, but because ho believed Lloyd George's foreign policy to be injurious to Kngland anil injurious to the world. Again very characteristic. For Northeliffe was permanently true lo only one thing, his country. He would sacrifice any friend, any party, any personal obligation for it. But in the wily Welshman, the champion contortionist, tin; super-Houdini of the political world he met his match. Moreover before the struggle had fairly started, Northeliffe was a dying , man. . It is too early to accurately appraise Northeliffe. This must, be left fc the perspective of history, but it, is not too early to say Eng land will be a very different, place without him.. More comfortable for many people, scarcely more secure. For the greatest figure of the Publicity Age was pre-eminently Great Britain's devoted champion imd son.

In debts you've always been immersed since you were in your teens; you owe the butcher for his worst, the grocer for his beans.

Points to j;ain the whole world's gold and Mctfon i i COMMUNICATIONS Jeffries "Replies" to Judge Colvlg To the Editor: It doth appear In these later duys that surprises neyer cease and while attempting to defend some of the best people in Jackson county against their enemies in front, I have received a kick from the rear delivered by an antiquated haB-been of tho legal profession. Though once a legal preceptor of mine, he is about as far from the truth in stating my name us he is in his other "facts." , To begin with, I have not slandered Judge Calkins, hut merely said what is reiKjrted in the community. I have not "soap boxed" in Portland, neither have I followed the example of my old preceptor by "peddling hot air" from a street corner. In his alleged better days, he tried cases and laid his opix neuts low from a curbstone, and with the same instrument Samson used on the Philistines of old. 1 was never prosecuted nor imprisoned for any thing by any court or the order of any court. I never defended an I. W. W. I never defended a charge of syndical ism or sedition during the war. Most of the people who committed such crimes were Germans and Austrians who belonged to the same church for which Uacknumber Uill is pulling the chestnuts now. Tho Portland Klan never published a little booklet such us Hill, complains of now. The killing of "Governor Steunduberg" and the blowing up of the "Times" were committed by people with names like Horseley and McN'a mura, which sound like those Colvig Is assisting now. I have defended people of all creeds and faiths tnost of the serious charges being against the same faith Colvlg-is "legging for" now,-and I have given them my best service, as I shall continue to do while practicing law, In spite of the wails of Ignorance, envy and superstition from any und all corners. If 1 am to be measured by the faith of those I have most defended then I am a Catholic. Every man knows that any man charged with' a crime is entitled to a defense-r-perhaps even Uacknumber Dill knew this once. He should kmw the many falsehoods contained in his letter had he ever tried to loarn the truth. Hut it may bo that his reputa tion as a lawyer and a historian would have been much better had he died be fore he wrote the fool things contained in this latest effort. The trouble with. Colvig is that people who are charged with crime get scared and hire someone who can get I them out, instead of some old broken down political hack. They need a real defense. ",! understand the, "Judge" has lately accused a Jackson county candidnto of the atrocious crime of being a demo crat. Now Bill hardly knows the full depravity of democracy, since he re mained a democrat only until thor oughly repudiated and laid on the shelf by the people of Jackson county. it did not pay any longer than that. Mr. Colvig also has a gallant war record, in which period he suffered a wound and for which he secured a pension. He enlisted in the home guards during the Civil war, prevented a southern gubout from capturing Ore gon, and was rewarded by a grateful nation. I have heard the wound was a rupture. I know not if this be true, but I have the word of the Inte respect ed citizen, Gen. T. 0. Reames of Jack sonville, Oregon, that it was received by Hill by jumping off the fence, with at least two more watermelons in his arms than any one man should ever try NOTICK TO AM, I.AXDOWMCHS A XI) TAXPAVKKS WITHINMio)FOT) HtKKiATlOX DISTHK'T.

It Is said that all the Mood Colvlg ever shed In defense of his country was caused by this load of watermelons. Hut "Let us pay the reverence of old days To his dead fame, Walk backward with averted gaze I And hide the shame." Further, some one has "peached," flse how did Bill ever find out what "lawyers call confession and avoid mice," or hear about the ethics of the profession or what an Intelligent com munity thinks. Anyway I swear I never ti led to blacken the lousy nigger bootlegger in this case. It would be as useless as "to paint the lily or guild refined gold." Hut I recognize the right of Colvig to have all the spasms he feels like about this "big smolie." 1 said we are going to have a fair jury and I swear it.- if this be treason Mr. Colvlg may make the most of it. Since being laid on the shelf by the people of Jackson county, Colvlg has served his .master, the saintly South ern Pacific railroad until his final re tirement by it, and I shall not deny that the "ox knoweth his owner as the ass his master's crib." But his friends hoped he had retired to reflect on the past and to prepare for the future. They are much pained to notice that he attempts a "come back" by . raking chestnuts for the Pope and thus proves again the wonderful truth and prophecy' of the good old book we bo love to quote wherein It says', "The dog has turned to his vomit again, and the sow has returned to her wallow in, the mire."
