Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
'HIS writer was shown yesterday.
by Its owner, a copy of the PhUa
delphla Inquirer of Monday, May 2,
1888. It carried on Its front page the
thrilling etory of the deatructlon by
Admiral Dewey of the Spanish fleet
in the harbor of Manila the day be
fore. HI epoch-making story waa told
under headlines about half as large
aa those used by the newspapers of
today to chronicle the story of the
latest gang killing In New York or
Chicago, or to tell the verdict of the
Massle jury In Honolulu.
Newspaper methods change, along
with other methods, don't they?
THE news of thut 'tremendous event
reached the United States by way
of Spain, whence It was carried from
Manila by official Spanish cable. Ra
dio hadn't yet been thought of.
The Spanish . naval authorities,
writing for home consumption, made
It sound like a fairly notable Spanish
victory.
Kidding the public was a well de
veloped Institution, even in those
early days. ....
rvBWEY'S victory freed the Phlllp
pine Islands from the cruel and
vicious rule of Spain, and we patted
ourselvea on the back and awelled
out our chests and told ourselves
that we had done a great moral serv
ice to the cause of humanity.
Now the Filipinos are demanding
loudly to be freajl from the rule of
the wicked Americanos.
To hear them tell It, we are the
world's worst.
WE went to war again In 1917, this
time to save France from -de-
struction and to make the world safe
for democracy.
We did the Job, but to hear, the,
French tell it we ruined them for
lite, and as for making the world
safe for democracy we certainly made
a hash of that, too.
We are about aa popular as a rat
tlesnake with trie nation for. whom
we shed our blood ' and' spent our
treasure.
SOME day, some far distant , day
when we have grown much wiser
than we are now, we Americans may
learn that the smart thing for us to
do la to mind our own business and
let other people look out for them
selves. BUT this old paper wasn't all taken
up with war and bloodshed. It
pictured, as a good newspaper. should,,
the life of Its day.
Among other exciting events. It told
of a young blood of the gay nineties
who took out his brand new bicycle
and burned up the streets with reck
less speed and finally came to grief
by crashing Into a beer truck.
They called It "scorching." when
the hell-bent young rakes of the
nineties did things like that with
their bicycles, and the good people
who read of such deeds of depravity
wondered what the world was com
ing to.
H
THIS ancient newspaper contains a
department entitled: ."Our Sis
ters, Cousins and Aunts," and the
writer of this department romea un
blushlngly right out in print and
tells how the women of 1898 apent
their time. Hear:
"Many women buy a cheap corset
coverH paying but nine cents for it.
They take the nine-cent corset cover
and put Insertion In it, edge It with
needlework and dress it up until It
Is worth II. 50. They run baby ribbon
through the Insertion, and they tie
It around the throat with the same
ribbon.
"They then set a bend of embroid
ery around the waist and run a tiny
ribbon through the band. These they
tie In front, giving the corset a very
smart appearance."
A ND after that, If this writer has
been correctly Informed, they
covered up the darned thing with a
heavy woolen dress that reached clear
up under their chins, so that all the
men could see was this same heavy
woolen dress.
No wonder the men were so willing
to go to war and fight the Spaniards.
With the women folk holding out on
them Hke that, they would have been
Justified In being mad enough to
fight a buu saw.
