What A Newspaper Needs In Its News, In Its Headlines, And On Its Editorial Page Is Terseness, Humor, Descriptive Power, Satire, Originality, Good Literary Style, Clever Condensation And Accuracy, Accuracy, Accuracy.

They Call Me The Father Of Illustrated Journalism. What Folly! I Never Thought Any Such Thing. I Had A Small Newspaper, Which Had Been Dead For Years, And I Was Trying In Every Way To Build Up Its Circulation. What Could I Use For Bait? A Picture, Of Course.

My Especial Object Is To Help The Poor; The Rich Can Help Themselves. I Believe In Self-made Men.

Money Is The Great Power Today. Men Sell Their Souls For It. Women Sell Their Bodies For It. Others Worship It. The Money Power Has Grown So Great That The Issue Of All Issues Is Whether The Corporation Shall Rule This Country Or The Country Shall Again Rule The Corporations.

I Will Always Fight For Progress And Reform, Never Tolerate Injustice Or Corruption, Always Fight Demagogues Of All Parties, Never Belong To Any Party, Always Oppose Privileged Classes And Public Plunderers, Never Lack Sympathy With The Poor, Always Remain Devoted To The Public Welfare, Never Be Satisfied With Merely Printing News, Always Be Drastically Independent, Never Be Afraid To Attack Wrong, Whether By Predatory Plutocracy Or Predatory Poverty.
