"Infernal
No system of education esa givo la the children of London a power to with"! stand the influence of the continuous ignorant, brutal, and criminal suggestion of the London Press."
This was the text of a curious lecture with which Mr. Raymond Duncan (in Greek costume, with bare legs, banded hair, and an American accent) entertain. ad a gathering of mathotos and others in the Doré Galleries recently. Mr. Dun. can's feeling appears to be directed chiefy against the presence of advertisementa.
There is a physical powar in advertis- ing which forces men to do things they would not otherwise do. When a news. paper runs without advertising it is run- ning upon black-mail, support, or graft of a more infernal description. Bludors pro reflected in the newspaper roaders' faces as they road. The scandals of the Divorce Court take place in their own houses becauso contagion has been got iz the newspapers.
"Hero, (in a Jabour paper) are the 'mage of a lot of working railway men, quite as ordinary and commor looking "a lot of dules might be. Why should a
Labour paper publish ugly facos any more than any other paper 7
"I would say that The Times' woo the most unclean of papers because it was the most stupid.
What is more stupid, gauche, awk ward, slovenly than the theatros of Lo don? And what paper says so?
The Press of Paris asks honestly for bribos. The infernal Londen nowspapers gren't invite you to bribe them. They won't give you a chance.
"After all, the people of London are not corrupt by their papers alone. The papers are only one toadstool trong
many,"
