AT dinner recently given in New
York in honor of Lord Northcliffe. pro-
prietor of the London Times. Mr.
Arthur Brisbane. editor of the Eve
ming Journal, responded to a toast.
This versatile fashioner of the popular
editorial had sat quietly for some
time listening to a corporation lawyer
who advised his hearers TO beware of
the man who expresses sympathy for
the poor and to Colonel George Har-
commonplaces on the evils of Social
ism and the blessings of wealth
When Mr.. Brisbane was introduced he
proceeded in his short snappy SEN
talk as they ever listened TO in
their lives. He evidently felt it his
duty at the Northcliffe dinner TO tell
his self-satisfed and successful audi
ence that the great common people
OF which he is the seIf-appointed
spokesman, really exists. Mr. Bris-
bane said in part:
This is fine gathering of powerful
men. big fortunes. and great reputa-
tions. 1 want to say something for
the men that are not here. for the
seventy-nine million Americans that
never had million dollars, never
knew a man that had one. never got
