COCHRAN'S COMMENT
GOVERNMENT

PERS.-With Lloyd George the Brit
ish dictator and Lord Northcliffe the
power behind the throne, other Eng
fish newspapers are as sore as a boil,
and want George to turn his back on
the British Napoleon of journalism.
NOTthcEffe owns the London Times
and also the Mail, to say nothing of
other newspapers and magazines,
and his power comes from being able
to talk to all England daily through
his papers. Besides that he has
brains and force, and has made the
most of his opportunities for public
ity. Anyhow, he's getting away with
it. Hearst tried it in this country,
but didn't get away with it. With
newspapers in San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Chicago, New York, Boston
and Atlanta he had large audience
and worked himself up to the delu-
sion that he could order the president
around, tell congress what to do and
run things generally. But the Amer
lean people gave him the laugh.
Then the Chicago Tribune tried

lonesome. When the war broke out
BERTHE Mccormick, in charge Of the
Tribune by inheritance, got Gov.
Dunno to make him a major in the
national guard so BERTHE could strut
around the European war zone in an
officers uniform. When MAZE Nc
COrmick came home he began to be-
ieve that the Trib was really "the
worlds greatest newspaper" and,
peTfoTce, BERTHE was the worlds
greatest editor He had soaked up
some Of the NOrthcHffe atmosphere
in Europe and he no sooner lit in the
Trib editorial sanctum than he start
ed in to do a bit of Northcliffing on
his own hook. The influence of that
uniform was startling. Every time
MAZE Mccormick put it on and felt

Grant, Lee, Sherman and StOnewal
Jackson to Joffre, Kitchener and Won
Hindenburg. Admitting then to him
self that he was the worlds greatest
warrior and the worlds greatest
journalist in charge accident Of
biTth-Of the worlds greatest news
paper, he became the worlds great
est swashbuckler and proceeded to
sWashbuckle. He took charge at
once of American preparedness, told
President Wilson and congress just
what he wanted done, and when they
forgot to obey orders when MAZE Nc
Cormick issued 'em, the male got
peeVishly impatient and decided to
fire Wilson and hire Hughes. There
are some military strategists who
had it all doped out that MAZE Nc
Cormick intended to make himself
secretary of war under Hughes and
make his cousin and cO-publisher,
Joe Medill Patterson, secretary Of
the navy, which would put the army
and navy at the disposal Of the Trib
and make it dead easy for MAZE Nc
Cormick, as Uncle Sam himself, to
conquer Mexico and the rest of the
world on the side.
The main blunder the worlds
greatest military strategist made,
after writing a piece on war for one
of the magazines, was to overlook
building up-Trib circulation in Ohio,
California, Kansas, Washington and
a few other states outside the Chi
cago loop. And because of that
blunder the patriots in these states
didn't know just what MAZE McCor-
mick wanted and proceeded to spill
the worlds greatest beans by elect
ing Wilson president again, dog
gone it!

cords the worlds greatest fact that
the worlds greatest Rome was once
