FRONT PAGES AM) PEOPLE.
Under the above head the Ta
coma Labor Advocate comment
upon the fact that, war and politic
and sensational tragedies or disast
ers for the most part fill the fron
pages of the papers, and answer
its own question as to why it is so
by declaring that probably the peo
pie want it or are deceived inti
thinking they want it. The Advo
cate looks forward to the time whei
matters of real worth will attrac
attention and these other vanitie
will not appeal to an educated peo
pie. The Advocate also looks ti
the accomplishment of such a fac
through the means of the labo
press which will up-lift and educati
the workers.
Now a good many others besid«
the Advocate have wondered at tin
very thing that it wonders at, ani
suiight for an explanation much a
it seeks it and discovered it in tin
lack of an educated taste much a
the Advocate explains it.
A good many clever writer:
wonder why their brilliant books
essays. pamphlets, articles don
make a hit while readers kee]
their eyes glued to thi
baseball column of the press o
devour the day’s war news wit!
greedy brain. They think that tin
pearls of wisdom that fall fron
their inspired mind sliduld be ea'ver
ly lit tight after by an admiring pub
He.
And in consequence of this they
blame the public. That will not at
together do.
Society is constituted so thai
wln.t does interest the public art
the doings of the great ones in war
politics or society. •
The mind automatically divide;
into caste. It is more'concerneti
over the goings of the industria
overlords than in the comings and
goings of the industrial underling
No one reads in the society columns
of the establishment at the vlliag:
of Kosykorner of a new union,
while everyone observes with in
terest that Mrs. Gotamazume,
the richest bride of the season, im
ported a creme de menthe hat from
Paris.
It is not by chance that tlia do
ings of the great capitalist politi
cians interest the public. it
couldn’t be otherwise, because that
political activity is- the manifesta
i inn of the economic strength of cer
tain great interests. If they did not
not represent great and powerful
inter, sts in caste creating minds they
could not $o attract attention.
The workers care very little
>oul tlielr own interetss. They are
indifferent to labor organizations,
lie agitation for tlrsir own bettei •
meat. They are in a great way con
cerned only with the great employ
ing interests. The War and the
rumors of war involve the great ca
: iialist Interests of the world and to
■ in! >ls which think in terms of caste
end which interpret their own with
•hose caste interests, whether they
re or not, the news is of intense in
terest.
This explains why even book
written for circulation among the lioi
i olloi except when the works of a
:.1 a: ;er, seldom or never touch the
hoi polloi at all. There all kinds
of old families and titles and vil
lains who are phony princes o"
counts marching through the pages
of buncombe, but they effect their
purpose just the same and are
“popular”.
Nowadays when we see movies
portrayed to meet the popular taste,
we find very few writers at all ap
pealing to the national life in the
sense of the lives of the masses.
Four-fifths of the magnificent
houses and apartments and the life
of auto, driving and ball giving that
are developed for tho benefit of the
public, haven’t anything at all to do
with the common people. And the
common people like it, because all
eo many of them as yet think in
terms of caste. They have their
- gradations and into the higher gra
s dations of life as they imagine, they
i throw the halo of their fancy and
-1 the gilding of romance.
t j All this is readily explainable,
s Society has lived so long under a
, class system that it has come to be
- part of its psychological make up.
> It is the result of the perversion,
- systematic and prolonged which ex
i plowing classes through the world’s
t history have forced upon the
s world, inferior politically or econo
- mcally. The master may not be h
> hero to the valet, but the valet
[ would never seek for a hero outside
' what he believes to be the master
s class.
| Labor papers are not going to
s remedy this sort of thing by mak
i ing their organs strictly confined to
I the doings of the workers. The af
f fairs of both workers and em
i ployers, ruled and rulers, slaves and
f masters, serfs and nobles, all over
the world are inter-related. The
i war will have a tremendous effect
, ! upon the workers of the world; the
; workers of America no less. It is
i having it right now. It i3 creating
! a condition of thought, of action, of
living, of dcliberationn, which could
i not have existed before it. There
■ in no riuestitfo as to that. The work
i ers are vitally affected by the war
and it is well that they know about
it. It is not a matter of non-con
j cern to them. News is still news1
for the workers as well as the em
ployers. The news of the day, even ;
| the most sensational, shows us so-'
ciety as it is. Reveals the vices !
which are being developed, the degc- j
neracy in mind or body that is re J
suiting from the economic condition!
that prevails. It is good that the
workers should know about it. For j
the man who takes no interest in •
the news of the day there is very !
little hope. It is not likely that
he will care three straws about news
of the working class pure ano
simple. Read aright even the ca
pitalist papers afford much instruc
! tion. The man who ignores what
are considered current events is
sure to be an ignorant man, no
matter how widely he has react
about philosophic thngs. He will
lose perspective. And it takes a
whole lot of watching for the work
ers to keep tabs on the bosses. They
cannot do that through any other
means than through the news
columns of the papers. The boss
knows that anl uses quite a number i
which he keeps to pervert, to mis
represent and to suppress the news. j
There is where the labor press pre- (
nts the corrective. It is where j
he labor press can, by comment
nd by publicity where has been si- j
•nee and suppression, keep the
c orker's posted. There ought to be
lore labor newspapers. There
i ought to be more labor papers
'which without being confined to the
mere facts of the working class
; movement take a general survey and
I publish news from day to day. For
it Is In the news that the real edu
cational virtue lies.
