The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1892-08-29

Il BY its neighbor. Il owes II to itself. 10 It's
readers. TO its contemporaries. and to the pro-
fession OF journalism to make the fullest.
fairest. and ~clcarest explanation OF the matter
at It's command. The Truth is slow to con-
denim the World. but as the case now stands It
behooves the World to defend itself. not minc-
ingly. but vigorously and bravely. against the
attack Of TINS SuN-ono OF tho most damaging
attncks ever made by one newspaper against
another.
From III, Rochester Onion dni Ai,etd"r.
We believe that this proof establishes tho
charges OF The SuN. We believe. too. that IN
undertaking the exposure OF the methods of
the World THE Sun has performed n great
service to the public in general and to Jour
nalism in particular. 1t has boon long known
that the World was doing more than any pos
siblc agency to uemoralize the journalism of
this country.
Could the harm from this kind OF journal
ism have been confined 10 the " ord and its
readers. there would. perhaps. be no great
reason to derlore 1t. II they preferred fake
news to u moro Trustworthy and substantial
dict. no ono else had a right to complain. But
the phenomenal success that the World ap-
peared to have won through its rascaiity pro-
duced an effect that extended far beyond the
readors. 1t turned tho heads OF young editors
and young newspaper managers, They be-
came possessed OF the belief that the World
was the ideal newspaper: that no other meth
DDS than those OF the World would guarantee
success. Consequently their ambition was to
create other Worlds and to create them in the
way TINT the World had been created. In
stead of exhibiting honesty. sincerity. sobrie-
ty. dignity. and intelligence in tho papers un-
der their direction, they emulated all the
characteristic that make tho World an Of
fence to decent and upright journalism.
II THE SUN can check this Generalization.
II 1t can bring adequate punishment for the
injury done. 1t will earn the everlasting graft
tude OF honorable journalists and OF IN intelli-
gent public that appreciates their work.
From the Loeiport Daily Journal.
On the heels OF its fair conviction by TIE
Sun Of deliberately taking European de-
spatchcs. tho World now stands impaled as re-
porting a pretended conversation between the
Borden sisters which never occurred.
From N. Rochea.r Democrat aud Chronicle.
In another place will be found tho final coup
OF The Sun to the Worlds boRus cable news
factory. The exposure will be read with in
dignation by every honorable newspaper man
in the country. The Sun Is doing a public
service. The newspaper press OF the country
must be saved from the disgrace Of such n
swindle as the World attempted. The publ.
cation Of fraudulent news should never be-
come a recognized business In this country.
The World is only fit for Hottentots.
From the ~ronnsaocn Erentng Telegram.
Every reputable journalist who has a de-
sire to see the honor Of his profession upheld.
its reputation unsullied. and its veracity I'M
impeached. will take a personal pride in the
recent achievement OF THE Sun. In which the
bogus practices OF the World were SO fully ex-
posed. Thu Sun has succeeded in again
demonstrating that it is q great journal and q
newspaper.
From de Rorhes1 Pod. EIprea.
The World has been detected In an attempt
to 6efraud a contemporary out OF 81. OOO. We
cay. therefore. that any man is q fool who will
venture to contribute q dollar to the Worlds
alleged campaign fund. What guarantee has
q member Of the Democratic party that the
fund gathered by q disgraced and dishonest
newspaper will be used honestlyP
From the 81. Lo,i, CAronida
This adds another to the long list Of Pulitz-
er's crimes against decency in journalism.
From ne Horttord oourant.
TIL Sun has now completed and clinched
the proof OF the truthfulness OF its charges
that the New York World first foisted bogus
"cabled specials" on the public. and then.
when menaced with ignominious exposure.
tried to save itself by cabling the stuff. or a
portion OF It, to London with instructions to
have 1t recalled in hot haste to New York.
What the World will deem It advisable to
say or do now. we don't know. nor is it a mat
ter Of any particular consequence. Very likely
it will continue to publish large editions. and
find purchasers and readers. and make money.
But . very serious thing has befallen 1t.
whether its proprietors are conscious OF the
fact or not Its reputation has now definitely
followed its character overheard. The World
may not miss it much at first. but 1t will fee
