ONE YEAR OP SERVICE
THE Evenino Ledger celebrates today Its
first anniversary with a feeling of ela
tion and satisfaction. Established with a
definite purpose and mission, its aspira
tions havo received the definite commenda
tion of the community It serves, not half
heartedly, but in a wholesome measure. It
has won and holds the confidence of its
people, not through catering to the pas
sions of the masses or by yielding one lota
Co undigested opinion or prejudice, but by
assuming at all times an actlvo and militant
leadership, depending on the merit of Its
arguments and tho purity of motlvo under
lying them for public acceptance.
To furnish tho news and present it fairly
Is the first duty of a newspaper: It is funda
mental. But a great Journal has tho
privilege and on it rests the responsibility
for doing far more than that. It must sense
the aspirations of the community: it must
know its people and their wants intimately:
it must be their attorney in fact and their
lasting protection against any and all ex
ploitation, no matter by whom attempted:
It must glimpse the future and formulate
public opinion in support of great enter
prises, the achievement of which Is requisite
to tho comfort and prosperity of coming
generations; it must be. in the full per
formance of Its functions, a builder of char
acter, an exponent of religion, an educator,
a calm and sure counsellor in time of need,
a great light beating on all the activities of
ec whole people, exposing vice and graft and
the dark places and mantling with a new
lustre the myriad glories of a magnificent
J, ' metropolis.
To such a policy of service the Evening
Ledoer was dedicated from the beginning.
In its first Issue it announced editorially:
The sympathies of the Evening Ledger
will be instant In favor of programs which
promise to make this city a better city in
which to live. It will not accomplish Its
purpose unless It senses the social and
clvln. longings of the thousands of home
owners and homemakers who have made
'.'Philadelphia the splendid metropolis that
'It Is. It will battle with them for better
facilities, of every sort to whlcjj they are
reasonably entitled and of which they are
Unreasonably deprlvod. It is the duty of a
great newspaper to mirror the aspirations
ot the community it serves, to visualize
conditions of life as they are and picture
them as they can be and will be. It must
be the spokesman of the man in the street,
the woman in the house, the girl who meets
the onrush of necessity by her own tolL
TVIth whole-hearted enthusiasm and with
no Interests to serve save the interests of
the community, the State and the nation,
the Evening- Ledger dedicates itself to
this policy ot service and takes Its place
among the Institutions of Philadelphia.
In the great fight for the United States
Benatorshlp the Evening Ledger unsuccess
fully opposed Boles Penrose, who was
elected by an enormous plurality, although
he failed to receive a majority of the votes
cast. Mr. Penrose stood for a great eco
nomic program, to the support of which
the Evening Ledger was and is devoted,
but he had allied himself with elements full
of menace to democracy and stood for a
sort of political domination that must be
extirpated in America if the Republic is to
survive and vindicate for itself and all other
nations the wisdom of the great experiment
In self-government undertaken by our fore
fathers. On a moral issue there could be
no compromise, and Penroselsm, In the opin
ion of the Evening Ledger, was and is a
moral issue. Brumbaugh was supported
mllltnntly and aggressively, and was sent
Into office with an overwhelming' majority.
There Is no issue now of more Importance
to the nation than protection, which must be
made the settled policy of the Government,
and the Evening Ledger will continue to
be ait earnest advocate of virile Repub
licanism, the translation of the principles
of which into accepted and permanent
national programs Is vital to the prosperity
and well being of the whole nation.
yerhapa the most notable exposition of
political conditions in Philadelphia, unex
oelM in clearness, lucidity and accuracy,
m4 of enormous value in acquainting the
.MAk and file with the method of their ex
- toitaulon, was found in "The Hands of
Csau,"' a series of articles which, published
jrMe first weeks of the paper's exist-
avkesacted the attention of the nation.

EVENING LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER U, 1915
structlonlsta were met at every movei with
practical unanimity the press of the city
Joined In the fight and it terminated finally
In the adoption of the partial program
which guarantees the early completion of
the two most Important lines and is an as
surance of tho final achievement of the en
tire comprehensive plan of Director Taylor.
"It can't be done," said certain learned men
when the Evening Ledger began its fight;
but it has been done. "Dave" Lane says
that the newspapers won tho fight. They
helped to win it, supporting Director Tay
lor with unabated enthusiasm, and tho
Evening Ledger Is proud of tho largo part
it was able to take in tho entire campaign.
The Evknino Ledger was able to con
centrate public opinion on tho nullification
of the housing lnw by Councils and was
largely influential in compelling the com
promise law which Is now being enforced.
But It is a compromise, law, and thero will
be no surrender until thero Is finally on tho
statute books an enactment which will as
sure to oven tho poorest tenant In the city
healthful and sanitary surroundings and
habitations.
In a spirit of brond democracy the
Evenino Ledger was quick to resent the
Imputation that women are of intellectual
inferiority, to men, lncapnblo of taking a
part in government and entitled only to the
protection usually accorded children, luna
tics and idiots. It embraced tho cause of
the women as a matter of principle, being
convinced that they were entitled to what
they asked for, not as a gift, but as a matter
of absolute Justice. So, during the ap
proaching campaign, tho Evening Ledger
will urge with undiminished power the en
franchisement of females, among whom may
yet bo found tho surest and moRt stalwart
supporters of Americanism.
The material advancement of the Evening
Ledger has set a new mark for progress In
American Journalism. Its distinctiveness
was a welcome element not only in tho local
but In tho national field. Tho pictorial
presentation of news had been more or
lesB haphazard In America, except In a few
Sunday newspapers. The Evenino ledger
from the beginning made Illustration a strik
ing feature. It was not content with mere
quantity of Illustration, nor even with tho
speed which has been the marvel of cur
rent Journalism, but It devoted its energies
also to securing the finest possible print
ing. The full page of pictures, which Is a
dally feature, has aroused the Interest of
newspaper men all over tho country and
has been received by the Immediate clientele
of the paper with enthusiasm.
Beginning with a normal circulation of
approximately 40,000. tho Evening Ledger
had practically reached the 00.000 mark
early In January. The circulation there
after went forward by leaps and bounds,
until now approximately 100.000 people buy
the paper every night. This marvelous
growth upsets precedents. Journalists In
particular having doubted tho ability of an
afternoon newspaper to succeed without the
liberal uso of "canned" or syndicated ma
terial. Tho Evening Ledger adopted the
policy of producing Its own matter and Its
own features, buying very little from other
newspapers. Philadelphia 13 a big enough
city to produce a newspaper of lt3 own, not
dependent on the offerings of contempo
raries elsewhere.
In the selection of Action every care has
been taken. Only wholesome stories, filled
with action, have been used, and the avail
able markets are constantly scoured for the
best that can be got. So, too, "Scrapple"
contains the best wit of the world, com
bined with the genius of Ledger artists.
On the editorial page appear dally. In ad
dition to the editorials, Sykes' remarkable
cartoons and two special articles, some of
the best known writers In America being
contributors. These articles In general are
flush with tho news and are of permanent
literary value.
The Evening Ledger enters on the sec
ond year of Its existence with renewed
strength, greater vitality and a surer,
quicker faith in Philadelphia and Its peo
ple. Tho vicissitudes of political and social
struggles, the swing of the pendulum, "bring
ing travail or Joy, as it may be; the hard
blows that drive backward, merely put new
energy and new determination Into a great
people. Their progress Is sure, whatever
the setbacks. The parasitical elements that
fasten on this community, as they do on
others, are transitory and ephemeral. It la
the great moral purpose of tho people that
.survives, their underlying sense of Justice,
their good Intent, their purpose to bo right.
They may be led astray for tho moment,
but never for long. Jn them is tho soul of
democracy, the sparlc that vitalizes our In
stitutions, whence flows our prosperity, our
happiness, our place upon this earth as a
refuge for tho oppressed of all nations and
a shining light to all races.
With no axe to grind and none save the
public Interest to serve, the Evening Ledger
will continue, to fight, and fight hard, for
all good causes, and to battlo with what
capacity it may against all bad causes,
without malice and without prejudice,
realizing that there Is so much bad In the
best of us and so much good in tho worst
of us that It hardly becomes any of us to
speak ill of the rest of us. Tet he
who is a traitor to the people, selfish in his
work, a grafter in fact or Intent, need ex
pect no mercy in these columns. The truth,
always the truth, is what the public has a
right to expect, and, so far as it is humanly
possible, the truth he will get In the
Evening Ledger.
The service which this newspaper has
been able to give in one year is Si splendid
record, yet it is but an augury of the serv
ice which it expects to give. Its leadership,
its power to mold publics opinion, place on
it a sacred duty, in the .performance of
which it will adhere religiously to Its ideals,
diverging not one hair's breadth from the
standards which it has set itself and estab
lishing beyond all question Its right to the
confidence, respect and support of all ele
ments of the populatipn.

LET THE GANG
RULE THE CITY
But Let It Be the Whole Gang How
to Overcome the Obstacles In the
Way of Community Conscious
ness aud Self-Government
By NEWTON D. BAKER
Marer of Cleveland.
A CITY will always bo governed. Some
times Its governors are one group of
people, sometimes another group. The group
In control Is called by those who resent its
actions "tho gang." As a consequence, a olty
Is snng ruled, and the only remedy for this
Is to enlnrgo the gang until It consists of a
wholo body of citizens. That Is to say, a
city will always bo ruled by tlf who have
a special Interest In ruling I particular
way until all of tho people In the city decide
thnt they will rulo It themselves In tho gen
eral public Interest. TIiIb determination on
tho part of all tho people can bo brought
about by agitation and education. Fortu
nately, wo have now In America a number of
cities which aro well on the way toward real
community consciousness and self-government.
The chief obstacles which havo to be
overcome aro these:
No Such Word as "Fall"
First. The special financial Interests which
profit by government and therefore can af
ford to spend tho large sums of money to
retain power.
Second. Hopelessness on tho part of citi
zens generally, who havo participated In "ro
form campaigns" only to find themselves
powerless ngnlnst tho compact organization
and abundant finances of the special Inter
ests, or to find that reform success was not
a permanent betterment of city conditions.
Third. Tho real limitations which have
been placed upon tho powers of tho city by
Stato Legislatures, either procured by special
Interests as a safeguard to their own con
trol, or permitted to remain unrelieved by
Stato Legislatures, which have failed to ap
preciate that In this new ago a city can me
Its responsibilities only when it has tho power
to analyze Its own conditions and to devlso
and execute remedies.
As to tho first of these three obstacles.
It Is only fair to say that the public utility
monopolies in America are being brought1 to
a recognition of tho fact that their business
Is so far affected with the. public Interest
that they must ho subject to public regula
tion and control. They rccognlzo that tho
day of speculative proflti, limitless valua
tion nnd extortionate rates Is past and that
tho publlo utilities of transportation, light,
power and water aro going to bo secured
at fair rates and under favorable conditions
by American cities, from privately managed
plants', If that bo posr.Iblc, but from publicly
managed plants If that be necessary to securo
tho results. As a consequence of the educa
tion which has gone on on this subject In
the last 20 years, tho buying of Councils, the
granting of Improvident franchises nnd tho
maintenance of extortionate charges Is too
well understood to bo longer tolerated, and
this great obstacle to good government is
going to bo eliminated.
Tho Indifference, or rather tho hopeless
ness, of thoso who havo fought only to bo
beaten, or won only to be disappointed, will
also disappear with education, and the neces
sary education will come as soon as tho
power and responsibility which the modern
city demands are secured for It, either by
constitutional amendment or legislative en
actment. As a matter of fact, an honest
and patriotic man must continue this fight
no matter how often beaten or how bitterly
disappointed. The spontaneous upward trend
in America will not brook acceptance of do
feat here. The American city Is either a
menace or a blessing. To make It the latter
Is a challenge to our sense of personal aw1 ,
business security and well-being which v
must tnko up.
Home Rule for Cities
Probably the only program upon which all
can agree 13 embodied In tho words "Home
Rule for Cities." Our State Legislatures
havo sought to make cities good by making
them powerless. They havo succeeded In
making them corrupt becauso they wero
feeble. Tho emnnclpntlon of tho city is tho
immedlato task. This does not mean nny
loss of State feeling: It erects no Independent
governmont within tho State; but In accord
ance with all tho traditions upon which
Anslo-Saxon liberty Is based It establishes
tho right of local self-government and gives
the people of a city tho power to determine
as they will purely local concerns. This
Includes tho power to deal with local public
utility questions and substitutes the direct.
Informed and Interested public action of
citizens of the city for the slow and fruitless
bewilderments of State Publlo Utility Com
missions. It gives tho city tho right to de
termine whother It will Invest enough of the
money of Its own people to stamp out tuber
culosis; to Improve sanitary conditions; to
light and police Its streets; to abolish the
evils of the slums, and when a clty-dwell-ing
people have such power they acquire
very quickly a community consciousness
which will use that power for the perfection
of their institutions and betterment of their
city life. Thomas Paine once said, "Argu
ing with a person who had taken leave of
his senses s like giving' medicine to tho
dead." Somewhat in tho same way agitating
for better things -among people' who have
merely the right to hope and no power to
do may bo-regarded as vain.
There Is an Identity of Interest among peo
ple of the State, whether they live in the
city or In the rural districts, In this regard.
The corrupt, Insanitary and diseased city Is
deadly alike to Its own people and to tho
State of which it Is a part, Its output of
M-imlnals, Us contribution of Insane, its
degradation of publlo morality, and its
propagation of contagious disease become a
State burden and a State peril. The appeal
should therefore bo made to the people of
the State to free the city, place on Its
"shoulders the responsibility for Its own well
being, and then the process of education lo
public right will be addressed to people who
can both understand and act.

DRAMATIC COLOR
The Modern Newspaper Is "The Great American Novel" So Long
Awaited, and Every Reader Is a Character in the Story.
"Personal Journalism" in Its New Definition
By BURTON KLINE
Of the Editorial Stna" of the Boaton Ecnlng Transcript.
SPEAKING of anniversaries, it must bo
Just about fifteen years ago that some
thing now was begun In American Journal
ism. The beginning was bad, but it has been
tempered and improved since then. Not that
tho change was sudden. Tho new order Is
tho resultant of influences so small and its
progress ha3 been so gradual that oven thoso
of us who aro Intimately concerned with the
making of newspapers are scarcely yet
aware of what has happened. Readily to
grasp all that the newspaper of today has
become, you havo to leaf back over tho files
of fifteen years ago for comparison.
Those wero tho days when the literary
critics wore sharply watching for "tho great
American novel" watching, but never find
ing. They havo never yet found It, though
the great American novel has really ap
peared It began to appear fifteen years ago.
You who read this are holding In your hands
a leaf of It now. Tho great American novel
Is tho great American newspaper.
As recently as fifteen years ago a newspa
per was still a newspaper. An then under
stood, the business of a newspaper was to
present the news. That alone. Well, It pre
sented the news, baldly, soberly, drily, with
out notice of the great fact that news Is llfn.
Imagine, for example, how tho dally of that
day would handle such a pleco of news as
the sinking of tho Titanic or tho LuPltanla
In the editor's eyo it would naturally project
as a supremely Important pleco of "marine
Intelligence." And ho would let It go at that.
All the Immense human significance In the
sinking of the greatest ship on her maiden
voyage, all the atmosphere of drama sur
rounding such an event, he would have been
sure to neglect, as being outsldo the province
of a newspaper. All that he would havo left
to tho novelist. Tho editor of today Is al
most ready to condone tho catastrophe that
offers him tho opportunity to play tho novel
ist himself, tho best way ho can, and proudly
show It In his paper.
Thero nro still a few newspaper readers
who cling to a preference for that detached
and Impersonal presentment of the news of
the older days. In their staid and reliable
old favorite Journals they aro daily shocked
to discover Insidious traces of this new lean
ing toward llfo and color. For even the
older papers begin to open their eyes to the
real possibilities In a newspaper. At least
they have sensed what any one may see for
htmself, that tho newspaper as It is now
would never be suffered to exist and prosper
If public taste were not overwhelmingly in
its favor.
The truth Is that the newspaper of today
has taken to itself the whole province of lit
erature. People havo not ceased to buy and
read books or to visit libraries. They buy
more books than ever, but not so many
more books as they should, according to the
rise In our population. That rise in tho
number of readers in America is reflected far
more certainly in the swelling circulations
of our newspapers than in tho comparatively
stationary circulation lists of the book pub
lisher. We read many more books than wo,
did, but we read overwhelmingly more news
papers than we read twenty years ago.
A Dally Boole
Consciously or unconsciously, the publish
ers of newspapers have felt this. They and
their millions of readers have silently agreed
that the newspaper shall be no longer a
nowspaper alono. The dally paper hafc be
come a dally book. It has all the qualities
of a novel, except one. The news, the occur
rences of the day, great and small, It handles
as what they are facts In life, that bear
some relation to the life of every man who
reads. It handles these facts precisely as a
novelist would handle them. The reporter,
to be a sood reporter now, must be more
than a recorder of facts and figures. "lie
must be something of a critic of life. The'
older reporter would have told simply and
accurately the details by which ten. year-old
Minnie Jones came to her death, crushed
against an elevated pillar by a skidding mo
tor truck. The aim of a gopd reporter of
today Is to make the reader feel that Minnie
Jones was a real person, whose loss means
as much to her unknown father aa the
father who reads the paper would suffer In
the loss of his own chlU.

gent observer nnd critic of the great drama
of llfo that Is played nil round us every day.
It is everything that a novel should be, nnd
more. It has no need to depend upon oven
tho most fertile Imagination of the literary
artist. Tho phenomena of real life, im
mensely more varied, more absorbing, more
fantastic, If you please, Ho leady for Its
pages every day. This dally paper you have
bought this evening is a page of biography.
It Is everlastingly alive to tho telling events
that have made tho success of successful
men. It Is a history In headlines. It Is an
endless story book, the moro thrilling to you,
tho moro wonder-stlrrlng, because the story
Is true, and becauso you, too, reader, are a
character In tho story.
Hut the newspaper has becomo an essay,
too. ilen are thinking now more than thev
ever did. The nowspaper at once given them
topics for profitable thought. It persuades
special articles from writers who aro special
ists in their line of thought. And the per
suasion Is easy, for tho wise writer has come
to learn the dimensions of tho newspaper
circle of readers. Then tho editor remem
bers that tho news may be seen often mor
vividly than It can be read, and ho provides
Instant pictures of this or that fire, this or
that procession, of nn endless array of In
terestlng personages or events. When a
great Inventor dies, or a new Inventor ap
pears, ho Is quick to satisfy that natural
curiosity In us nil to know moro about his
llfo and looks nnd his' personality.
Art and the Great Drama
The one quality In tho novel that Is still
lacking to tho newspaper Is tho one most
difficult of all to ncqulre. It may be pre
dicted with confldenco that tho outstanding
characteristic of our newspapers in tho days
Immediately to come will bo their struggle tj
acquire this ono lacking clement. That ele
ment Is art. Tho reporter has becomo a lit
tle too anxious for tho plcturesquo In his
treatment of the news. He has wandered a
llttlo too far from tho dry presentment of
fact. The trial of a man for murder Is a.
deeply touching drama. Tho modern reporter
has been quick to seo this, but ho is npt to
go too far with his "sob stuff" nnd senti
mentality. He hasn't yot learned what every
first-rate novelist knows tho power of re
straint, the gain of leaving things out. Ho
doesn't yet know that a writer Is most mov
ing when he omits tho gush. But he Is go
ing to learn or be taught that great art.
Ho Is learning it now.
These new possibilities In Journalism that
so widen Its field and multiply Its interests
are calling Into the profession a better and
better quality of brains. We may never havo
a nowspaper written by a Dickens and ed.
lted by a Socrates. But wo do have news
papers now that are alive to llfo. A little

periment will make them still soundor and
