The remarkable success of The New York
World under the management of Mr..
Pulitzer is unprecedented in journalism, and
is largely due to the introduction of pictures
to break up the dull monotony of types.
Mr.. Pulitzer long ago discovered that an
illustration, no matter how crude, helped
out dry biography, and lent attractiveness
70 the paper. Besides, in these go-ahead
times men have not time to waste in much
reading, and small illustration will often
tell at glance more than columns of type.
With these facts in view, Mr.. Pulitzer has
in one ear raised The World from one of
the poorest to, one of the best newspaper
properties in New York. Wien Mr.. Pulitzer
arrived in this country about twenty years
ago he could not speak word of English
and was not overprovided with means At
present he is also owner of The st. Louis
Post-Dispatch and candidate for congress
from New York City. How this has all
been accomplished his appearance shows,
for he is the personifcation of indomitabls
energy and pluck
