Taut THE NEW YORK A THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1912. MANUFACTURING NEWS Activities of Alleged Who Newspapermen Washington Time in Boosting Undeserving People. Special to THE AGE. Washington, D. June This 18 rather dull, Officeholders uncertain season in Washington.

and pollticians are, as a rule, uncertain as to where they "are This is the season when each person is keeping his eyes open trying to be that gets down on the right side of they fence. Washington, above all cities in the country, is "blessed," or "cursed," with some newspaper correspondents who are constantly nauseating the public with "manufactured" news. Some of these correspondents overplay themselves. They take a contract to take a little man and. make big man by keeping his name constantly before the public, whether there is any legitimate news in connection with his activities or not.

This kind of cheap newspaper work is of course paid for by the little man who is to be made into a big man over night through the medium of newspaper type. A case point that is a constant joke Washington is that of a man living North Carolina, whose name, according to his paid Washington correspondent, has recently been "mentioned" in connection with the presidency of Howard University. fact is, nobody has ever mentioned this man's name in connection with the presidency of Howard University exwept, this disgusing newspaper part of it correspondent. is that a few days after this man's name is supposed to be "mentioned" in connection with Howard University, the North Carolina passed through Washington again and denied that he is a "candidate" for the position. The plain fact is, nobody ever "mentioned" his name in connection with Howard University except the newspaper correspondent.

This is the kind of thing that cheapens and hurts reputable newspaper people, and public opinion ought to be brought to. bear upon such cheap newspaper work in a way that will put an end to it. Washington is a fine field for legitimate newspaper work. There is of genuine news to be gotten and given to the public in a legitimate way, but some correspondents would rather use their imagination than their feet, hence they are constantly imposing upon the public. Washington seems to be a fertile field for growing this kind of newspaper men, and it also seems to be a field where a newspaper man can be paid so much an article for the purpose of keeping individuals who, within themselves, amount to little or nothing before the public.
