Glarciug back 20 the early journalism oi the past
century when Dickens and Thackcrav wrote for the
newspapers r.there were giants III those DAYS one
cannot help being struck by the great deterioration IN
the whole tone Of the press al the present time as
contrasted with that which vailed IN the dawn OF
the Victorian era There IS dignity. refinement and
power IT, the leading articles Of The Times and
other journals then III vogue such must needs have
-or1reled people not only TO read. but 10 think
The vulgar personal note, the hlppant sneer al
this that and tother parsonage the monkev-hke
nockerv OF women the senseess glhes flung al poets
and poetry the clovnish kick sentiment were all
apparently unknown.
True II is that The Times still holds its own as
journal where one may look IN VAIN for sensational
ism Except IL It's advertisements OF the kncyco-
redia Britannica but its position IS rather like that
of grim old lion surrounded by cubs Of all sizes and
ay,e that vap and snap its whiskcrs and take lib
critics with its tail II be SAID however that all
the better higher-class periodicals, such as The
Morning Post and The Standard are IN the same
situation-the yapping and Swapping goes ON around
them precisely IN the way REGULATION FIVE IImes
as Large as That Of ANY Penny Morning Journal
etc. etc.
And the question Of the circulation OF any particular
newspaper resolves itself into two points firstly the
amount of money puts into the pockets OF ITS pro
1rietors or proprietor and secondly the influence
has or IS likely 70 have the and morals OF
the public The last is by far the most important
