THE FAKIR'S FALSE STATEMENTS EXPOSED ean be cortain of givin e our subscribers & perfect servioe-and The Seattle Times yesterday printed a page falsehood about the comparative circulations of Seattle dailies Tt made wild claims concerning its own paid circulation Then followed this bare-faced statement: “Paid circulation of all others: * “The Daily Pol The Seventh Avenue Sheet . The Pike St. Alley Sheet .. eecsereoce +000e+22,000 Total secses eveoswonwensscss 43000" The publishers of the Times certs should ia have known, that the above statement that The Star had only 16,000 circulation was a falsehood the fact that The Star makes no secret of its paid circulation to any advertiser, or newspaper desiring the information The Seattle Star, instead of 16,000, has over 25,000 daily paid in cash. During the first half of the present year, ending June 30, The Star's actual circulation averaged 25,277 copies per day. These figures do not include spoiled or unused copies, but only the actual number served to readers. The Star is growing steadily in circulation every year. The figures which the Times printed represent the circula- tion of The Star several years ago. In view of the fact that the Times misrepresented The Star's circulation, by grossly understating it, the presumption is fair that it grossly overstated its own paid circulation. All publishers in the city know that the Times gives away many thousands of papers in various ways. It leaves copies at the houses of citizens who never ordered the and then takes chances on collecting. It allows hundreds of doubt- ful mames to be carried for months and finally takes what it can get in the way of payment. Nobody has to pay for the Times, unless they see fit In this way the Times pads its circulation by thousands of copies. Tt then goes to advertisers and glibly asserts that it “has the largest circulation.” On its advertising thus secured it de- pends to make up its circulaticn losses. The Seattle Star follows an exactly opposite plan. Those who take The Star pay for it. No one who does not pay every month can get the paper. No free copies are distributed. The Star’s circulation books, open to inspection, show where every copy goes The Star’s plan bars out all bad pay patrons and it makes the 25,000 paid circulation of the paper gilt-edged, among people who pay as they go. The Star could easily add 10,000 or more to its daily circu- lation, if it followed the loose tactics adopted by the Times. Yesterday was not the first occasion on which an untruth- ful statement has appeared in the Times concerning The Star's circulation. Once it printed the allegation that The Star had 8,000 daily circulation, when, in reality, it had double that circulation. At the time The Star took the trouble to prove its neighbor guilty of mendacious lying. The Morning Times has been given away right and left to anybody who would read it. Yet, despite every effort, it has so far secured very little paid circulation. It is becoming evident enough that the people do not like the yellow Hearst flavor of the Morning Times, with its irre- sponsible sensationalism and utter disregard of truth. WHAT IS TO BECOME OF THE OLD MEN? ¢ nly knew, or They were well aware of same “Young Men Wanted,” is the ery from every place Why should a young man believe be has no chance nowadays? As a matter of fact no one but @ young man bas much of m chance. He has a monopoly of opportamity. ‘The commercial and the industrial world want young men. The pews want young preachers. It is hinted to the middle-aged surgeon that hé has lost his “nerve.” And teachers dare not grow old. The corporations draw the line for activity at 45 years In the old days a man was good for service up to 65 or 70. What are the reasons? Ina word — profits, dividends. The standard of a day's work is based on a large output at a low ex pense. The old man cannot keep the pace the age sets for big returns. 4 Another reason is found in the fact that more and more are women and children offering to do the old man's work—-and for lesa wages The labor unions have noted this tendency, and for years have bees bracing the workers in the Industrial ranks against it The labor unions—to their great credit—have constantly fought for the prevention of child labor, for a man's wages for a woman's work. They have tried to call a halt on immigration and have op- posed piece work because it sets up an Inhuman standard for a day's work And this striving has been largely in vain Under present conditions men who would be good for 15 to 20 years of honest labor under humane provisions are everywhere set aside: What will soctety, which is responsible for squeezing them out, do with these old men? Shoot them, as it shoots the old horses? Pension them? They do not want pensions. They want work, work such as they are able to do and, because of experience, able to do well Our prosperity is making a lot of men old before their time, which is ecouomic waste--to say nothing of heart break and suf fering” What is to be done with the old men?
