INoRTHcLIFFE RIsEs 10 PowER.

NoRTHcLIFFE RISES TO POWER.
/. F. Marcosson in Everybody's: AS
essentially a selfmade man as has
been either Rockefeller or Edison,
Lord Northcl ~ has risen to a posi-
ton Of phenomenal power.
This marvellous career is a revela-
ton of organized efficiency adapted
to national service that is not with
out its significant lesson for the
United States.
There must have been a spatter of
ink at Northcliffe's baptism. North
cliffe cut his magazine teeth when he
was 16. Even then he had the courage
and optimism which have been his two
principal assets. At 16 he started a
school publication.
At II he was editor of a weekly
newspaper. A very valuable provin-
cial apprenticeship was gained dur
ing a period Of labor on cycling pa
per published at Coventry. Here he
learned the whole newspaper job,
from the composing room to editorial"
Desiring, like Ryan and Eastman and
Archbold, to "go on his own" he es-
tablished, when 81, little magazine
called Answers. From this time, his
strides were rapid.
Before he had turned 80, Northcliffe
had a string Of nearly twoscore pub
uCdJIOnS, ranging IFOIH SOIulC SuJS
to The London Magazine. When not
yet quite 80 years old, he took over
with his brother (now Lord Rother-
mercy as partner, that Cinderella of
London Newspaperdom," The Evening
News. He made a success of this in
the face of every difficulty. Next came
the sensational creation Of The Daily
Mail; and when the policies OF this
paper were firmly established, the
world was startled at the announce
ment that Northcliffe had purchased
The London Times-which Lincoln
once characterized as second only in
power to the Mississippi river.
AS director of the destiny Of this
great paper, Lord Northcliffe put the
crown upon his tremendous prestige.
1t led to his directing almost, one may
say, the very destiny of the empire
itself.
1t is no secret that 'Northcliffe's
Judgment of men Influenced the max
ing of the new British cabinet which
is charged with the task of winning
the war. Largely due to him, 1t in
cludes practical men Of affairs.
