CORDOVA, ALASKA, Tl'KSDAV, OCTOBER 19, 1915.
INTO NEBULOUS REALMS.
Those of our readers who complain that the Daily Times is
not furnishing all the sensational features of the war, as con
tained in some of the outside papers, may be interested in know
ing that much of this stiff is flashed across the wires by the
Hearst International News Service and' other agencies equally
as unreliable. Harper’s Weekly of October 9 contains a com
plete expose of the methods adopted by this service in the
attempt to “put one over” on the newspapers receiving its
telegraphic reports from a legitimate and trustworthy source.
Probably no more ludicrous attempt at hoodwinking ever
has been made by the submerged tenth, ethically speaking, of
the newspaper business. Tt is a pure case of fake at the foun
tain head.
Harper’s Weekly, after a thorough investigation, shows
that many of the correspondents of the International News
Service are purely imaginary beings, having no more real flesh
and blood than a painted totem. Stuff pertaining to the great
events of the war is written in New York or elsewhere some
5,000 miles from the great battlefields, and fictitious names of
correspondents supposed' to be in Paris, London, Petrograd, or
perhaps in the gory advance trenches of one side or the where
the shells are falling a dozen at a time in the same spot, are
signed to these sanguine effusions of mendacity.
The public is expected to be Barnumized by these “human
interest.” “right-on-the-spot,” personally conducted,” “eye
witness” tales of events that often never happen, and' when they
do, reportorial wit and clever extravagance of verb and adjec
tive color them far past the point simple truth.
And so the fact remains that those who are looking for the
truth about the war or anything else must depend upon the
Associated Press, whose business is that of truth-purveying.
It never yet has even been accused of faking. Til fact, faking
is practically impossible with the Associated Press, so careful
are protective lines thrown around its production of news. Tts
sendee is so carefully prepared that its reports are accepted
by the the great historians, bv the President of the 1 nited
States and by high officials everywhere, as matters of fact.
We’ve been expecting this expose of the International
News Service for many a day. For some months it has been
very apparent to newspaper men that it has been venturing fur
ther and further into the nebulous realms o ftlie unbelieviable.
VETERANS SHOW LITTLE INTEREST.
The attempt to line up G. A. If. veterans for national pro
hibition lias signally failed. Following the adjournment of the
national encampment the Anti-Saloon league’s registration
bureau in a private residence across the street from Camp
Emery, in Wasington city, has been dismantled and the regis
tration book, minus the expected names, has been put away in
the archives of the Anti-Saloon League of America.
.1. IT. Lari more, (alitor of the National Daily, official organ
of the Anti-Saloon League of America, published at Waterville,
O., went to Washington to take charge of a movement to get
the' veterans committed on national prohibition. The Anti
Saloon league had heard that from 90 to 95 per cent of the
veterans favor prohibiion and it was considered a good stroke
to secure their names and addresses to the end that the national
prohibition propaganda might be advanced in every Grand
Army post in the country and powerful backing worked up
among the vetrans and their friends and kindsfolk for the so
called Hobson resolution now pending before congress.
The first set-back came when the national prohibition
propagandists were refused permission to establish a booth in
the building where the encampment was being held. Then a
bureau was established across the street and a flaming banker
put out telling the veterans where to register for prohibition.
On a desk inside was spread out a registration book large as an
unabridged dictionary, with pens and ink within easy reach.
When the encampment ended 31 veterans had registered.

What a tragedy should it be revealed that that bull moose
was advancing toward the Colonel with the impetuosity of an
intense love instead of the mad turbulence of animosity. T he
Colonel, however, is so quick on the trigger in all things that he
must bo forgiven if it be discovered that he committed a giiev
ous blunder in this case.
The way they treat the constitution in the effort to re-estab
lish a monarchy shows there is a bull in the China cabinet. |
Incidentally, there is nothing shy about Yuan Shi Kai.
Dr. Dumba, departing, says he bears no ill will to the
American people, and we regret that flaw in our character which
prevents us from saying the same.
A man need not be equipped with the eyes of an eagle to be
able to see that the Balkans are going to be a puddle of blood
for some months hence.
