But to get back to the London pa
pers. The more | read them the bet

For one thing, the London papers are
SO partisanly unfair. OF course, Amer
lean newspapers are unfair enough,
but the British papers excel them in
this in several RESPECTS. You expect
an American paper to be partisan in
its editorials, because, after all, II is

ions Of some man. or set Of men. !

men and not by gods, this will c. -

purports to report a mans speech, or
even to state his position with a
view to refuting il, there is a con-
scious effort at reporting his speech
accurately, or stating his position fair

is nothing of this. Deliberate misrA
porting Of public speeches is the rule.

America the extreme partisan papers,
and The baser sort OF papers, never
state an opponents position fairly
But in England this is true of the
better papers, and those that claim
superiority and worth.

each SIDE. YOU can generally get i

difference between an Englis1 and
an American paper, to my notion, is
apparent. In the first place, the
American paper publishes great
deal more matter than the English
paper of corresponding grade. 1t is
more comprehensive in it's scope and
field of news. 1t has wider outlook.
1t has a great deal more enterprise
And it is because it has more enter
prise that it has the reputation OF
being less reliable.
The "Titanic" News.
Let me give you an illustration of
what | mean in this particular. The
first news of the Titanic" disaster
was published here in the afternoon
papers. The next morning the Lon
don Times in all its editions, and the
other eWspapers in their earlier edi.
lions based their account of the mat
ter on the report that all on board
the Titanic" were saved. They had
that report and they were satisfied
With it and made no effort to verify
1t or get it more in detail as an Amer
lean paper would. The real truth of
the disaster vas so appalling that
people forgot that the Times, for in
stance, had said that all on board
were saved. An American paper IL
its energetic efforts to get further de-
tails would very likely have come
across disquietlng rumors and re-
ports. and. on the principal of giving
all the information 1t had TO its read
ers. would have published them. But
II it should have turned out that all
on BOARD were saved and the dlsqulet-
ing reports or rumorS were unlo"nd-
cd. then the American paper would
have pald the penalty OF It's enterprise

Charles [. Rhodes, Writes of

Abroad
COMPARES PAPERS OF
HONOLULU WITH L0ND0N'S
Finds British Press Very Un-
fair in Treatment of Po-
Iit;CaI Opponents

How Europe and european affairs,
including politics, look to a former
Honolulu newspaper man is told in
a letter tho Charles l.. Rhodes has
written to Walter G. Smith, former
editor of the Star, and which has been
sent to Hawaii because of its interest.
Mr.. Rhodes, former editor of the
Star, refers to Duke Kahanamoku's
triumphs and British envy at Ameri-
can performances at Stockholm. He
says,
LONDON, July 26,-Though l have
not heard from you directly, since
coming to this side of the ocean, |
have not been allowed to forget that
there is a Hawaii Duke Kahana-
moku's performances at the Olympic
games in Stockholm were the text OF
many Sneers in the London papers
about America and American ath-
Ietes. The relative failure Of British
athletes as compared with American
and other athletes at the Olympic
games was severely felt. There were
columns of stuff about it in the Lon
don papers. One set of writer's tried
10 comfort themselves DN pefSudulllS
ihcmselN eS that the American compel
itOrs entered the tests TO win. while
the English competitors entered only
for sport of the thing. Another set
of writer's tried to heal their wounded
pride by saying that the English ath-
letes were drawn from England. while
the American athletes were drawn
from all nationalities, including Ha-
waiian, thereby using Duke Kahana-
moku to point moral and adorn a
Tale.
But Honolulu and Hawaii have been
recalled to me in various other ways.
A few days ago met in Westminster
Abbey Mr.. Wells. formerly manager
Of Waikiki plantation. In Florence
met a former teacher Of the Punahou
Prepa ratory, and just the other day
some English friends were telling OF
one of their acQuaintanCes who had

world, and in reply TO the question

are brought 70 the attention OF the
public S.
Paragraph Unknown.
AS to the literary Quality of the
London papers, this, of course, varies
from very high standard to one
lower than is often found in America.
The editorial paragraph is practically
unknown in the London daily paper.
It is found in embryo ia some of the
weekly papers,. The London papers
have nothing to approach in point of
keenness and cleverness the editorial
paragraph which some paper in al
most every large American city offers
it's readers every day. The ablest
not ADLER than the ablest editorials in
the American papers. This is, how
ever, in the London papers, a more
sustained quality. And there are
more editorials in The London papers
written with expert knowledge and
wide scholarship.
Difference in Quality.
There is more clearly marked
difference of quality between the
morning and the evening papers in
London than is usually found in
America. With a few exceptions the
AFTERNOON papers are pretty poor
things, while with few exceptions the
morning papers are all of good quail
ity. | suppose the reason is geograph-
ical location. AS far as the world of
affairs is concerned, the day begins
in London. When It is eleven O'Clock
in the forenoon here, which is the
hour when the first editions of the
afternoon papers come from the
press. it is still only twelve o'clock
in Rome. Vienna and Berlin. and not
very much later in COnstantinople
and st. Petersburg, and not as late
in Paris and Brussels, while it is
only eight o'clock in the forenoon in
New York, and still earlier in the
rest of America. SO that the early
edition Of the afternoon papers has
very little of the affairs of the world
of the day-Of publication to chronicle,
and while conditions improve as the
day goes on they are never in the
position of the afternoon papers of
New York. which have three hours
the advantage of London, or of San
Francisco, which has six hours ad-
vantage. or Of Honolulu. which has
vine. The afternoon papers, there
fore, are made mp of Te-hash of
what has appeared in the morning
papers, pieced out with such scraps
of news as the telegraph may bring
or as it may gather in the London
region.
The better afternoon papers, recOg-
nizing this limitation. seek TO make
up for it by a literary and news let
ter character The best samples of
these are the Pail Mall Gazette,
The Westminster Gazette" and the
st. James Gazette" The Pail Mall
Gazette" .is owned by Aston and is
distinctly Tony and reactionary,
though, on the whole, holding itself
to an attitude Of decOrOus fairness.
Like all the morning papers. and es-
peciaIly the larger morning papers. it
devOtes a good deal OF space TO book
reviews, and that sort Of thing. Its

telegraphic service is as good as any
London afternoon paper, and better
than most, and yet for. all that 1t sci
dom publishes more than 1900 To 1000
words of telegraphic or cable news
outside of such telegraphic or cable
news as it may re-write or condense
from the morning papers. THE West
minister" and "St. James Gazettes
publish still less.
Al outsider can judge very little of
the business side of London news
paper. But, however. much it may
cost to get out a morning paper in
London, it would seem as though
afternoon papers could be and were
gotten out pretty cbeaply. Take, for
instance, the Westminster Gazette
Aside from advertisements it publish
es on an average about 900 words.
This is not more than 10 per cent or
Is per cent more than the Hawaiian
Star" published daily during several
years that | was it's editor. | pre-
sumo it is not much in excess of what
the Star" is now publishing daily.
Its Geographic service cannot be very
expensive, for it seldom publishes
more than 1900 words, and the bulk,
if not the whole of it, comes through
press ASSOCIATIONS. A great deal of
it's local matter is furnished by local
news agencies. Another considerable
portion of it's matter is mere conden-
sation of matter from the morning
papers. Communications from read
ers comprise from 1000 to 1000 words
as a rule, so that there is not great
deal of space eft for what might be
called high-grade writing. A quarter
of the first page is usually occupied
with advertisements of new books,
half the page usually consists of what
