The Sun. having convicted the World not
only OF publishing bogus interviews with dis
tinguished Europeans. but Of rcsortinR to a
palpable and shameful swindle to euchre The
Sun out OF $1,000. is now driving big spike
In the cofin OF It's rivals fast waning popu-
iarity. by supplying oil the newspapers in
America with marked copies containing all
the crushing evidence OF its infamy The
World. meanwhile. makes no defence. but re-
that The Sun is jealous OF its power and PROS
perity. This may 20 with unsophisticated
country folk. but in the realm OF newspaper
dom. and among intelligent people outside Of
1t. the dodge Is twice too thin.
From the Macon Esenfno Nsp.
II THE Suns statements are correct It Is
hard to understand how an Intelligent public
can give credenco to anything that appears In
The Worlds columns.
from the Co,,nIu, D,,pach.
Honest newspaper mon owe debt Of graft
tude to The Sun for the complete exposure it
has been at some pains to make Of the meth
DDS OF the Neo York World. The World stands
convicted Of publishing bogus cable despatcl-
es and accused Of tYickery to conceal its de-
ception and mulct o rival newspaper. 1t is
anything but a creditable light In which to be
placed
From De Wca Jrscy Pres.
THE SUN has conclusively proved that It
made no mistake whom 1t characterized Mr.
Joseph Pulitzer's paper "a the infamous
World" Not only did that un principled. CATCH
penny shoet attempt to justify and defend tho
anarchical acts Of the Homestead strikers. but
1t has since been detected and exposed in
palminE Off on its readers fraudulent cable
dispatches. purporting to be interviews Of
World representatives with Prince Bismarck
and an Italian astronomer by the name Of Prof.
Schiapnrelli. The Sun has done public SER
vice in shedding its rays on the dsreputable
methods Of the infamous World" and 1t can
be depended upon to continue the good work.
From n. Caaham Covisr
THE Sun charges the World with manufac-
turing news in its own office purporting to be
cable news OF interviews with prominent sci
entists In Europe. 1t makes strong showing.
and the Wor, q fails to answe the charges sat
isfactorily. Unless it can do 30. 1t stands
charged with and guilty of one Of the most in
famous crimes against public confidence that
newspaper can perpetrate.
The manufacturing Of news. whether on
large scale like this charged againstthe World
or In lesser degree. cannot be too strongly
condemned. 1t strikes at tho vital point in the
proven untrustworthy and unreliable in its
dissemination Of news. and Intentionally and
systematically proceeds to deceive its readers
In an attempt to gain notoriety nd reputa-
tion for enterprise to which It is not thereby
entitled, the public should boycott" it and
treat it with disdain and contempt. and there
is no more satisfactory way Of doing this than
by Withholding their patronage.
A newspaper is not unlike an Individual
Each has a character and reputation. and
one as we'll as the other needs be exceedingly
careful that neither character nor reputation
becomes sullied. OF all unfortunate and fool
ish things newspaper may do that OF de-
stroying public confidence in itself Is most
unfortunate and most foolish. And 1t can ac-
complisli this end in no other way more
quickly or more completely than In the matter
Of fake" news.
From the Oil City Blizzard.
There is something excruciatingly funny
about the determination OF the Ne,o York World
not to advertise The SUN" any moro anent
the fake cablegram incident.
f,om u. Philadelphia Inquirer
The SUN convicts the Ne,c York World OF
manufacturing bogus interviews with Bis
marck and other distinguished foreigners, and
when accused OF the trick Of practising further
deceptions shows such an entire lack Of any
moral sense that whatever influence the World
had must be entirely destroyed while under it's
present management Such deceptions as the
World had practised. We are too glad to say.

Pulitzers World did good deal OF buncoing

charge Of 1t. but he ran up against buzz saw
