on the square, and they will fight for.
a politician if they believe he is on
the square, even if all the newspapers
are against him.
In the present l don't
think the advertisers are standing by
the Tribune because they prefer it
to either the Record-Herald or the
Inter-Ocean, but because they are
afraid to tackle the Tribune, and are
not afraid Of either of the other two.
When Hearst broke into the Chi
cago field he got big circulation,
and got it by fighting the battles of
the people especially those Of labor
He had all the other publishers
against him. The merchants didn't
begin advertising with Hearst be-
cause they were stuck on him, rbUt
because he had the people back of
him and the circulation, and they
wanted to reach the people and get
their patronage and money
1t was after Hearst got the bust
ness that he went back on the people
who gave him circulation and gave
him a foothold in Chicago. In the
end he will lose out if he. continues
as a servant Of special privilege. But
why advertisers are afraid of him
now, I can't get through my head.
However, would be for killing
off both the Record-Herald and the
Inter-Ocean and throwing both Asso-
ciated Press franchises in the lake if
I were convinced it would make the
Tribune so much stronger that it
would become entirely free and
honest, and represent the people
fearlessly in defiance of the adver-
tisers.
But I can't quite gauge the
Tribune. Sometimes l am strong
for it, and at other times it makes me
sore. I get sore when think it is
afraid to go the route and tell adver-
tisers to go hang.
But the big point of it all is-why
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-05-07

Why shouldn't that power belong
wholly to the people of Chicago?
But if the State street merchants
have that power, then for whose in
terests will Chicago newspapers be
run?
And if newspapers can mould pub
lie opinion, for whose benefit will it
be moulded?
Is there any bigger job the people
of Chicago can tackle than to eman-
cipate their newspapers and make
them free to serve the public?
What has the public gained by the
reduction of the selling price of
newspapers from two cents to one?
If there were one morning news
paper in Chicago that was absolutely
independent of advertisers and selfish
interests, and would give me the
truth in the news, l would much
rather, pay five cents a copy for it
than one cent for all the rest of them
together,
The Inter-Ocean would have bet
ter chance at that kind of game be-
cause it has no such bonded Aindebt-
edness to pay interest on.
AS the situation now stands, how
ever, The Day Book is the only news
paper in Chicago that is under obi
cation to nobody but its readers. Big
Business can't kill an adless news
paper by withdrawing patronage.

PETROGRAD, Sept 11.--That the

ganized by the German general of1-
GERS and the fghting, according TO the
general STAN Is developing rapidly
into another desperate battle
While this battle is in progress, the
Russian troops invading East Prus-

the report that the German crown
