LORD NORTHCLIFFE.
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.

waste; nnd down the elevator shaft he dropped me, in his haste.

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

to carry. 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." Selah
