Senator Whitehead's Remarks.

Senator Whitehead said. in part:
The war of 1912 was the last between
the United states and the mother coun-
try. Great Britain, and the celebration
which begins today is in honor not only
of battle and its heroes be il remem-
bered. but OF a hundred years of peace
between the mother country and the
prosperous and fortunate daughter. This
Is of itself great and inspiring fact TO
be brought home 10 the minds of all citi-
Zens. young and old of the present day
This celebration should mark the be-
ginning of other centuries not less peace
ful. We are now far enough away from
the inevitable prejudice of the day OF
conflict between the two great sea can
tains at Putin bay To Join hands with
the British people in the celebration of a
hundred years of peace. We can pay a

news to please advertisers in one in
stance, they will do it in another. If
advertisers. enjoy special privilege as
to publicity, how long will the people
of this republic have faith in the
truth of what they read in the news
papers
How long are the people going to
permit newspaper publishers to de-,
termine who are the prominent"
leading" and best" citizens, when
they become convinced that money
influences the judgment of those
publishers?
The really important thing in the
Vera Scott confession is not whether
or not her story is true. 1t really
doesn't make much difference
whether Marshall Field, Jr., shot
himself or was shot by somebody
else. The big thing in the story is
that the newspapers that get money
from the Field store for advertising
suppressed it. For that helps people
to see that our boosted free press is
not free at all, but is a slave to its
advertising patrons.
There isn't an honest reporter or
editor on any one of the big news
papers in the loop who doesn't know
that he is hampered in giving the
people the truth by the powerful in
fluence of advertisers through the
business Office.
1t would take pages to enumer-
ate the news stories in The Day Book
during the past two years that were
suppressed by every newspaper in
the loop. s..
People have been killed in elevator
accidents in State street department
stores, and the news suppressed.
Last winter The Day Book printed
several stories of accidents in de-
partment stores that appeared in no
other Chicago newspaper.
Recently the Field store grabbed
valuable public rights beneath the

is so powerful that the Field store
can do about what it pleases to do in
Chicago. -.....- 49, ...-.,
When the O'Hara committee of the
Illinois senate investigated low wages
in department stores, the newspapers
grudgingly printed parts of the evil
dence,. and then had hypocritical re-
formers and uplifters write dope to
prove that there was no connection
between vice and low wages. .,
Not one of them lifted it's voice for
living wage for the clerks in the
employ of the big advertisers. They
licked the hand that fed them.
This kind of slavery can't go on
forever. The people won't stand for
it, They will insist on a free press
that is free to print the truth, with
out fear of punishment by Big Bust
ness. ~. u
They will insist on having news
papers that will be on the square
with their readers.
Newspapers like The Day Book will
spring into existence, and the people
will depend upon them, for the truth.
The Day Book is but the beginning
of revolution in journalism, the
forerunner of really FREE press.
Those who have been reading The
Day Book and have got accustomed
to its odd size and brief manner of
handling the news have found that
there is more real news in every is
sue of The Day Book than there is in
any other daily newspaper in Chi
cago.
And, best of all, it is under no OBJ
legation to Big Business, because it
does not and will not accept adver-
Using at any price or under any con-
sideration. 1t is the only real NEWS
paper in Chicago. And it can be
made to pay as a business venture
without a penny's worth Of adver-
Using in it.

"The Whip" At Baltimore.

Tomorrow the Drury Lane melodrama,
THE Whip" will be seen at the New
Academy of Music. Baltimore. The
event is of interest in that 1t marks
the first successful attempt In years to
revive a form of entertainment-melo
drama-that languished into obScurity :;
also in that the presentation comes as
the most lavish and spectacular effort
in the history of melodrama. The pro-
GuctiOn of THE Whip" is a heavy
undertaking from a scenic standpoint,
since il takes five cars to transport the
scenery, not TO mention the company
or the dogs and horses that participate.
