LIFE PUBLISHING COMPANY 17 West Thirty-first Street, New York City THE MEN BEHIND THE SCENES To one who has lived all his life in cities, to ove who has spent most of his days and nights with th men who write the great daily papers of the citics, it is perfectly evident that ninety out of one hu .dred editorial writers on the press today are men who are in intellectual and sympathetic revolt against preset day conditions. You will find the average editorial writer a socialist, and as for the reporter, he is most likely to be an anarchist. The reason of this is plai enough. The men who make the newspapers are bz hind the scenes: they sce the workings of the wires. they note the demagogy of politicians, they are fami!- iar with the ramifications by which the public service Corporations control the old parties down to the small est offices, and even at times finance reform move: ments, which always stop at the election of som: re Spectable figurehead or dummy, but never proceed t2 any attack upon the fusdamental evils of our social and economic system. It is my firm belief that were it not for the capitalists at the head of the great dail newspapers, if it were possible for the men who write the news ard the editorials of all the newspapers in the United States to take absolute charge of their pub ications and print the news exactly as they see it, and write their views exactly as they feel them, for a Space of three days, there would be such a revolution in the United States ay would put that of France to sham The only possible reason why this might ‘not occur is that the editorial writers and reporters actually believe in nothing—not even in the various remedies, rational or wild-eved. which occasionally, i> private, they claim.—IWilliam Marion Reedy in the St. Lows Mi Ovranrann at Hampton Roads on December 16 last: “When my fleet shall have passed from my Atlan Ocean to my Pacific Ocean, and when it shall have returned from my Pacific Ocean to my Atlantic Ocean it will have crossed my equator four times.”— Argonaut, TEN LITTLE BROKERS Ten little brokers standing in a line One got cold feet and then there were nine, Nine little brokers monkeying with their fate: One got a good squeeze and then there were eight Eight little Lrokers yelling up to heaven; Heart disease got hold of one and then there were seven.
