That The World’s attitude on public questions is guided by these
instructions of Joseph Pulitzer is generally agreed by the reading
public. Its editorial policy is one of intelligent liberalism. It would
seek for the evils of democracy a cure in more democracy. It would
welcome the widest opportunity for change and experiment in fitting
popular government to new conditions, while setting its face like a
flint against revolution by force and the subversive doctrines of
anarchy. It finds in freedom an assurance of safety alike from reaction
and Bourbonism and from half-baked soap-box theories of “direct action.”
Yet any man or woman who has something really worth while to say and who
can say it briefly and with propriety may find a hearing in The World’s
Editorial Forum.
A cartoon is an editorial—when it is one. The daily cartoons of Rollin
Kirby upon The World’s editorial page are almost as often reproduced in
Europe as in the United States as the finest examples extant of American
public opinion portrayed at a glance in pictorial form. They thus
combine present-day political effect with permanent historic value.
_POLITICAL WRITERS_
The World is particularly fortunate in its political writers. In that
direction, the greatest achievement of the year was Louis Seibold’s
interview with the President of the United States. By the courtesy of
The World the interview was published in newspapers all over the
country. It and the writer were lauded by magazines, reviews and papers
devoted to journalism.
Equally remarkable was the expose, by the same political authority, of
the underwriting of Gen. Leonard Wood’s campaign for the Presidential
nomination.
Charles Michelson heads the admirable staff of the Washington Bureau of
The World. It goes without saying that the White House and all the
departments are visited daily. Mr. Michelson never needs to deny or
amend his accurate despatches.
In Albany, Charles S. Hand reports the open sessions and the “inside”
doings of the Legislature with equal impartiality and fearlessness.
Women in politics, who since the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment
have taken their place in the Parties side by side with the men, serving
as associate leaders in District, County or State organizations, are
closely and accurately followed in their newly authorized activities.
_THE UNITED STATES—By Wire_
The New York World’s telegraphic news service in the United States
extends north and south from Duluth, Minn., to Brownsville, Tex., and
east and west from Eastport, Me., to San Francisco. Any point in the
country can be reached, no matter how small, through arrangement with a
correspondent in the nearest large town. Every city in the United
States, large and small, either has a World representative or has one
within telephone call.
