A Newspaper War

New Workers are being enter
tanned by a newspaper war
which smacks of the old days of
personal journalism when Dana
and Greedy used to break lances.
Bernarr MacF adden, PUBLISH
er Of several magazines and
New York's newest daily, The
Evening Graphic, which is said
to have put on $4,000 circula-
ton in one week, is publishing
acrimonious broadsides against
Fiearst's Mirror and Patterson
Daily News. Here are excerpts
from MacFadden Pen:
Ear be it from The Graphic
to preach ordinary honesty to
such hardened and haphazard
sinners against newspaper ethics
as the News and Mirror. In this
instance the news steal was as
brazen as any haul ever made
by horse thief in the wild and
woolly West.
"The public-including Major
or its ColonelO Patterson, Mr..
Hearst and Mr.. Brisbane-will
doubtless recognize and condemn
such horse thievery. If the Mir
ror and the News cannot afford
to maintain a staff with enough
brains to come in out of the rain,
The Graphic will readily take up
public collection to help those
papers hire men who can think
for themselves without resorting
to out-and-out theft of The
Graphie's ideas.
Newspapers which consider
themselves our competitors be-
long mostly to the financial ma
chine type. Back of them are
huge financial powers. Their
owners rarely read the newspa-
pers. They have neither ideas
nor ideals. Their sole aim is to
make a newspaper that the public
will pay.
"The guiding forces of many of
these newspapers have neither
honor nor conscience. They live
on the brains of other people,
and whether or not the owners
of these brains are on their sal
airy list is matter of indiffer-
ence to them. Thievery is their
chief sstock in trade"
Often when the Big Fellows
fall out, there's some interesting
reading---and the public learns a
few things it did not know be-
fore.

bubbiing air from the oxygen appara-

he felt himself sinking.
He sank very slowly, and as he sank
he CROPPED for Ida. He could not find

He waded to and fro clumsily. He

he saw nothing, and he did not know
