Fakisg Yellow Journalism.
To the Western stranger In New York
the eity's most wonderful institution is
me extra newspaper. 1t IS the acme Of
taking yellow journalism, the limit. Of
open hare-faced fraud. Mind you. there
are reliable newspapers in New York, and
az rare intervals there are honest "ex-
tras' Issued from their presses but they
are the wide exception. The remarkable
part Of IL IS that they sell and sell we'll
and the fault Hes largely in public en-
hear Ten O'Clock Extras cried on the
streets az and o'clock in the evening,
A popular method Of working off large
numbers Of the fraudulent sheets is to
send gangs Of men and boys through the
large residential districts crying out start

are not mentioned In The paper which
they sell Just now the Brooklyn trolley
strike offers a harves to the taking pub
fishers and vendors All sorts OF stories
are hashed up and the magufytng glass
IL applied TO the most ,rifing eircum-
stance. Occasionally some angry person
causes the arrest OF the newshoy who
takes him in. bat the average man hasn't
time TO invoke the law. The nuisance has
become SO great that there is crying
reed for stringent law covering the
crime,
