World Famed Editor, Accused by President Roosevelt of Libel, Rose From the Ranks by His Own Efforts—Widely In formed and Endowed With Great Intellectual Power—Founder of New Journalism. By JAMES A. EDGER.TON. IT is not every newspaper man who is of sufficient importance to call for a speeial message from the president of the United States and to cause the governmental machinery to be set in motion for the purpose of sending him to jail. Both of these dis tinctions belong to Joseph Pulitzer, the editor and proprietor of the New York World. He has \een the subject of other distinguished denunciation, William J. Bryan having ripped it into him through several successive issues of ttfe Commoner. Thus Pulitzer has achieved the condemnation of the heads of both the great parties, to say nothing of having been roasted by nearly everybody else of consequence in the United States. Yet through it all the World has claimed the largest circulation of any morning paper in America, has had admittedly one of the ablest editorial pages in New York and has been making money by the million. If anybody ever thrived on the meat of enmity, Joseph Pulitzer is the man. Since he bought the World in 1883—aye, since he started the St. Louis Post-Dispatch several years ear lier—he has been abused—copiously, vi olently abused—but his papers have gone right on in their career of suc cess. He may be blind, but they have eyes. They see things that do not ex ist perhaps and see other things dis torted and out of proportion, but they see minutely and far. And these pa pers are but Pulitzer projected and ob jectified. If "an institution is the' lengthened shadow of a man," the ular case. He it was, so says rumor, that years ago outlined the World's policy of editorializing, cartooning, scarifying, man-handling and other wise maltreating Theodore Roosevelt and that the Panama articles in ques tion were but the result of this gen eral policy. It is further intimated that the Pu litzer responsibility is established in another way—viz, by the fact that he is more or less close to the railroad kings, his son, Ralph, having married into the Tanderbilt family, and that the railroads, especially those of the transcontinental variety, are opposed to the Panama canal, thus furnishing an additional reason for printing the articles complained of. However these things be, Pulitzer is the man they are after, and if they do not succeed in landing him behind prison bars it will be due only to the fact that the jury renders some other kind of verdict. From the double barreled action that has been brought in New York and the District of Columbia, from the digging up of old and forgotten laws enacted nearly a century ago, from the unusual form of subpoenas served and from the fact that the attorney general him self is conducting the proceedings it is evident that the administration will leave no stone unturned and no trick untried to get its man. Respect For Popular Eights. During the war the Chicago Times attacked President Lincoln and the government in a particularly virulent manner. Some friends one day asked JOSEPH PULITZER AND THE NEW YOHK WOULD BUILDING. New York World and St. Louis Post Dispatch are the ideals, purposes and Lincoln to have the paper suppressed labor of Joseph Tulitzer put into form. They are the effects of which he is the cause, or, if not the sole cause, at least the first and chief of many causes. It was this fact which was recognized by the president in his special message when he said of the Panama canal stories: I do not believe we should concern our selves with the particular individuals who wrote the lying and libelous editorials, articles from correspondents or articles in the news columns. The real offender is*, Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, editor and propri etor of the World. While the criminal of fense of which Mr. Pulitzer has been guilty is in form a libel on individuals, the great injury done is in blackening the name of the American people. It should not be left to a private citizen to sue Mr. Pulitzer for libel. He should be prose cuted for libel by the governmental au thorities. A Personal and Public View. Never since John Adams and the alien and sedition laws has a mere editor been so dignified and magnified. Send him to jail! So much for Pu litzer! It is hinted that there Is another The martyr president replied: I fear you do not fully comprehend tha danger of abridging the liberties of the people. Nothing but the very sternest necessity can ever justify that. A gov ernment had better go to the very ex treme of toleration than to do aught that can be construed into an interference with or to jeopardize in any degree the com mon rights of its citizens. The respect for popular rights, the patience, forbearance and lack of mal ice in Lincoln are qualities that would do honor to any time or clime. It is fortunate that his centenary is cele brated this year. Would that his spirit could temper the things of today! "Cannot Be Muzzled." As already mentioned, Pulitzer has been blind for many years. On his sixtieth birthday, celebrated last year, he announced that he had withdrawn from active newspaper work altogeth er, a statement printed by all the pa pers except his own, a significant ex ception. Yet, despite the skepticism in Mr. Pulitzer has suddenly been exalt- the World office, it is believed that for ed into a question of state, an issue, a public evil. He is no longer simply a blind old man with oversensitive nerves, fussing at the slightest noise and puttering about the earth in a yacht with a bunch of secretaries and doctors dancing attendance. That is only the personal Pulitzer. The pub lic Pulitzer is quite another man—gi gantic, sinister, the symbol of sensa tional journalism, the incarnation of libel, the objective of executive wrath. Ugh! It is enough to make a sweet girl graduate shiver to think of this journalistic ogre slandering the whole American people in the persons of Mr. Douglas Robinson and Mr. Charles P. Taft. To paraphrase Henry VIIL's literally cutting reference to Bucking ham: the most pr.rt he has lived up to his pledge. At the time President Roose velt's special message appeared Mr. Pulitzer said: So far as I am personally concerned, I was at sea during the whole of October, and, in fact, practically for two years I have been yachting on account of my health. I never read a word or syllable of this Panama story, was not in connec tion with the paper and had nothing to do with it. Mr. Roosevelt knows all this perfectly. Ha knows I am a chronic in valid and mostly abroad yachting on ac count of my health. At the end of a Ions ar.d vigorous editorial the World said: So far as the World is concerned, its proprietor may go to jail if Mr. Roose velt succeeds, as he threatens, but even in jail the World wilT not cease to be a fearless champion of free speech, a frs* press and a free people. It cannot be muzzled. It is but fair to say that, without re gard to party and without relation to the opinion held of Mr. Pulitzer or his j»nprs. the step taken by President r,' .or.so'velt in this matter Is more gen erally regretted than any he has made cince in office. The best friends of the president—outside of the toady and of ficial class, of course—regard it as a mistake. The American people have a saving and wholesome sense of humor. They regard these Panama canal sto ries as the kind of tales that often ap pear in the heart of a campaign. Such things ought not to be printed, but they have been printed, many of them much worse than these, in every pres idential canvass almost in our history. At their best or worst they are polit ical stories and never would be thought of or heard of again unless thus called to public attention. In the heat of a campaign we are all liable to lose our heads, editors as well as others. This Is the common sense view of the case and the one held by the sane, temper ate American people as a whole. And when it is once realized that there is a serious attempt to put a blind old in valid in jail because of a campaign story he never saw or heard of, and this under a law more than eighty years old, the public will take the true measure of the case. It will serve a good purpose, however, if it discour ages the publishing of these reckless fakes during campaigns. Man of Wide. Information. As for Joseph Pulitzer, the public knows little about him, except that he has founded a new kind of journalism, which many people regard as bad that he endowed a college of journalism, which most newspaper men regard as a joke that he is a man of great in tellectual power, of keen mind, wide information and retentive memory, and that he spends much of his time in Eu rope. But that is only a small part of Pulitzer. Like most notable men, he is an anomaly. He built up great proper ties, amassed a fortune, and just at the time he was in a position to enjoy life fate struck out his sight and tore to pieces his nerves, so that he had no capacity for enjoyment left. Somebody has said that the great work of the world has been done by invalids, and if that be true Pulitzer is explained. I suspect, however, that, like all other sweeping statements, the idea that the race has been carried forward by sick people is about two-thirds phrasemak ing to one-third truth. Another anomaly of Pulitzer is that while he prints very noisy colored sup plements he cannot himself stand noise. A London paper told with great glee how the American editor took an English house and was disturbed first by a bugler and then by a peacock. Pulitzer sent one of his men to buy off both bugler and bird, but without suc cess. Then he moved. Born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1S47, Mr. Pulitzer came to the United States in 1S64, immediately enlisted in the Union army and served till the end of the war. His parents were well to do and had educated him by private tutor, but the father lost all the prop erty, and the boy was practically pen niless when landing in New York. He slept more than one night in the pub lic parks. After the war he went to St. Louis and became reporter on a German paper, rising ultimately to the position of managing editor and part proprietor. He was a member of the legislature and became a spellbinder of parts, speaking in English and Ger man with equal facility. He had been a supporter of Carl Schurz and joined the Greeley movement in 1872, going as a delegate to the Liberal Repub lican convention at Cincinnati. After that he was a Democrat. Founded New Journalistic School. In 1878 -.Mr. Pulitzer bought some afternoon papers in St. Louis and com bined them in the Tost-Dispatch, which was successful from the start. In 1883 he took over the New York World, a rundown pajer of little standing, and brought it to the front in the same brilliant and sensational manner. It is but just to say that Jo seph Pulitzer is the founder of the new school of journalism usually known as yellow, of which William R. Hearst is a later and more glaring dis ciple. In addition to his newspaper tri umphs, Pulitzer was elected to con gress, but resigned after a few months owing to broken health. It was at about this time he lost his sight and became little more than a nervous wreck. Since then he has traveled about the world or has lived at one of his many homes, his one desire being to flee from the noise maker. Until within a few years at least he kept in close touch with his papers, sending them unsigned cablegrams on all sorts of subjects and bringing them up to his own views of great questions and policies. With his corps of secretaries, who read him papers, letters and books of French, German or English litera ture each day, he kept in touch with the world from which his blindness isolated him. These secretaries were his eyes and hands. The mind that di rected all was his own. Pulitzer has has sent scores of poor young men to college and gave $1,000, 000 to found a school of journalism in Columbia university, with the promise of a second million when the school was in working order. W. K. Vanderbilt once said, "Joseph Pulitzer is the most intelligent man I ever met." It required an intelligent man to start the modern Illustrated, featured and display head newspaper, and that Joseph Pulitzer unquestion ably did. *-'.\, r:r ft New World's Bowling Record.
