Cursory history

[edit]

New York Evening Mail was founded September 21, 1867. It absorbed the New York Evening Express, which was founded June 20, 1836, by James Brooks, in 8881, to form the Mail and Express. In 1904, the original name was resumed. In 1924, the Evening Mail was absorbed by the New York Evening Telegram.

Serial

[edit]

This serialization of The Prince and Betty appeared weekly in the Saturday magazine section of the New York Evening Mail. Throughout, the author’s name is misspelled as "Pelhan G. Wodehouse." It follows closely (but not precisely in such details as paragraph and section formatting, capitalization, italics, and the like) the American version of the story as published by W. J. Watt & Co., New York, in February 1912. See the notes to the Ainslee's Magazine version for a brief rundown of the various forms in which this story appeared.

Our source is from dark and somewhat damaged microfilm, so the illustrations accompanying the episodes are not as well-reproduced as we could wish, and in a few cases illegible words in the text have been filled in from the Watt hardcover edition. Thanks to AK for scans and transcriptions and to Ian Michaud for proofreading.

The Prince and Betty (Saturdays). Illustrated by John V. Ranck (aka "Jack Ranck"; né John Van Buren Ranck; 1875–1965).{{cite book}}: CS1 maint: others (link)

Organ publication

[edit]

Henry Brewer Metcalf (1829–1904) of Rhode Island in early manhood graduated from the Whig party into the Republican, and was for many years an earnest supporter of that party, usually refusing to hold office.

All his life Metcalf had been an active and conscientious temperance advocate, speaker and worker. For twenty-five years he has been a member of the board of managers of the National Temperance Society. In 1886, he was one of the leaders in the nonpartisan movement that carried Prohibition in his state, and in the same year, or in 1885, he joined Albert A. Griffin (1834–1908) of Topeka, Kansas, in organizing the Anti-Saloon Republican Movement (see Anti-Saloon League), there then being abundant evidence that many influential Republicans felt the need of advanced temperance legislation. To this work he contributed freely of his time, strength and influence. Griffin was the organizer of the Kansas State Temperance Union (KSTU).

The New York Weekly Mail and Express being the organ of this movement, its leading political editorials were, for a year or more, written by Metcalf. This anti-saloon movement failed, in part from the bad faith of certain Republican leaders, and in part from the cowardice of United States Senators and others who had favored its organization. Metcalf is not proud of his participation in this political movement, but has always defended the good faith of its conception. In 1888, finding that the old parties were trifling with the Prohibition law, he helped to organize the "Law Enforcement" party of Rhode Island, which cast a large vote. In 1889, the people having been tricked into repeal of Prohibition, in the effort to hold together those friends of the cause who were not yet ready to join the Prohibition party, Metcalf helped organize the "Union" party, which, in its numerical strength, proved a disappointment. It was through these devious paths that Metcalf became a full-fledged party Prohibitionist in the autumn of 1889.

People

[edit]

A 1935 retrospective by sports editor W.S. "Bill" Farnsworth in the New York Evening Journal observed that "most of the defunct Evening Mail staff are doing well," noting that the paper had served as a training ground for an unusually large number of prominent journalists, editors, and cultural figures. Among its alumni were Broadway producer Brock Pemberton; drama critic Burns Mantle (1873–1948); cartoonist Rube Goldberg (1883–1970); celebrated sportswriter Grantland Rice (né Henry Grantland Rice; 1880–1954); and playwright George S. Kaufman (1889–1961). The paper’s sports pages were shaped by figures such as Francis Peter Albertanti (1889–1958), Fred Wenck (né Frederick August Wenck; 1879–1946) — later New York Boxing Commissioner under the Frawley Law — and Jake Karpf (né Jacob Jerome Karpf; 1872–1943), another sports editor, now on the sports staff of The American Magazine; Jimmy Sinnott (né James Philip Sinnott; 1891–1955), who, at the Evening Mail, had a column, "In Mid-Channel with Skipper Sinnott," was, from 1931 to 1933, the Fourth Deputy NYPD Commissioner under Mayor Walker.

Other former staff went on to influential careers in journalism and public life, including columnist F. P. A., (né Franklin Pierce Adams; 1881–1960) now a columnist; city editor George T. Hughes (né George Thomas Hughes; 1871–1945), who wrote financial news for the Evening World; Jack Pulaski (né Isma Berringer Pulaski; 1883–1948) now on Variety. W. W. Mills (né William Wirt Mills; 1867–1946), assistant city editor, went on to become Tax Commissioner for the Staten Island under Mayors "Red Mike" Hylan (né John Francis Hylan; 1868–1936), Jimmy Walker (né James John Walker; 1881–1946), and later, Tax Commissioner for the City of New York under Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia (1882–1947).

The Evening Mail also counted among its ranks playwrights Bayard Veiller (1869–1943) and Edward Hope (pseudonym of Edward Hope Coffee, Jr.; 1896–1958), sportswriters Roy Moulton (né Roy Kenneth Moulton; 1876–1928) and Hughey Fullerton (né Hugh Stuart Fullerton III; 1873–1945), and future television personality Ed Sullivan; Roy Moulton (né Roy Kenneth Moulton; 1876–1928), Hughey Fullerton (né Hugh Stuart Fullerton III; 1873–1945), Ed Sullivan, Harry Schumacher (né Harry Frick Schumacher; 1886–1958), Ed Van (né Edward Moses Van Evera; 1879–1952), Berton Braley (1882–1966), W. W. Williams (né Willard Wells Williams; 1875–1948).

Even junior staff rose to prominence. Fred Winkelman (né Frederick Herman Winkelmann; 1895–1965), once a copy boy, became attached to the homicide squad of the New York Police Department, while another office boy, Henry H. Becker (1893–1964), later joined the financial staff of The American Magazine. Jack Anderson (né John Anderson; 1860–1940), formerly foreman of the composing room, still setting type, but for the Telegram.

The paper was edited and owned by Henry L. Stoddard (né Henry Luther Stoddard; 1862–1947), described in the 1935 article as "perhaps the closest newspaperman to Theodore Roosevelt."

There's also Jack Lawrence (né John Wheeler Lawrence; 1887–1962),[1] who "covered" ship news.

Those who have passed include Gym Bagley (pseudonym of James E. Bagley; c. 1858–1910; aka "Cross Right") and Tommy Tompkins (né Theodore LaBeaume Tompkins; 1861–1924).

Taken together, these individuals represent the latter class at the Evening Mail.

In 1914, with the outbreak of the European war, George Sylvester Viereck, a thirty-one-year-old German-born American poet, launched a weekly publication called The Fatherland. Passionately devoted to his native land, Viereck declared that he intended to combat what he called “misstatements and prejudices” toward Germany in the American press—“to place the German side of this unhappy quarrel fairly and squarely before the American people.” That fall, when the German army rampaged through Belgium, slaughtering civilians and laying waste to public buildings, the tales of German atrocities horrified Americans: the kaiser’s armies, it was said, chopped off babies’ hands and women’s breasts, or literally crucified enemy soldiers and shipped them home to be made into soap and grease. Germany’s supporters insisted that these horrors were the inventions of British propagandists, and probably some were, though there was also enough barbarism to render such embellishment unnecessary.
Though Viereck presented himself as a truth-teller, merely correcting a record shaped by the distorting propaganda of the Anglophile press, he was of course engaging in propaganda himself. In short order, his enthusiasm on behalf of the German cause piqued the suspicion of the U.S. Secret Service. Agents monitored his contacts, and on July 24, 1915, two officers were watching him as he visited the offices of the Hamburg-American Steamship Company on lower Broadway in New York. At three o'clock, Viereck emerged from the building with a companion, and the agents tailed the pair over to the Sixth Avenue El and onto a car. At 23rd Street, Viereck got off. One agent followed him, while the other stayed on to watch the second man. A few stops later, the German man who had been riding with Viereck suddenly looked up from his newspaper and noticed that he had reached his stop. In his haste to rush off the car, he forgot his brown briefcase. The Secret Ser vice agent grabbed it, and a chase ensued. Eventually the agent escaped with his unintended quarry, which he delivered to William J. Flynn (1867–1928), chief of the Secret Service.
The bag's owner turned out to be Heinrich Albert, a German embassy attaché, and the sheaves of documents it contained detailed a sweeping campaign of espionage, sabotage, and propaganda designed to sway American opinion toward Germany in the war. The schemes were traceable to German Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg. The papers showed that Berlin was secretly subsidizing not only Viereck's Fatherland but other American publications as well.
The Germans were planning, too, to buy a controlling interest in the New York Evening Mail and had plans to bankroll films, lecturers, and pseudo-indigenous movements to promote the German line. Worse still, these propaganda efforts were yoked to plans of sabotage and espionage: to foment strikes in American munitions factories; to acquire the Wright Brothers Aeroplane Company to use its patents; even to blow up the Welland Canal in Canada. Flynn delivered the sensitive materials to Treasury Secretary William Gibbs McAdoo (1863–1941), who in turn took the cache to Cornish, New Hampshire, the summer retreat of Woodrow Wilson. During the summer of 1915, the president was struggling mightily to maintain neutrality—to satisfy what he called "the double wish of our people," meaning to put an end to German offenses against America and yet also avoid war. Wilson worried that the latest German mischief would thwart his diplomacy and inflame public opinion. He became convinced, as he told his adviser Edward House, that the country was "honeycombed with German intrigue and infested with German spies." McAdoo for his part "saw an opportunity," as he recalled, "to throw a reverberating scare into the whole swarm of propagandists—British and French as well as German—and I decided that this could be done most effectively through publicity." They decided to leak the documents to Frank Irving Cobb (1869–1923), editor of the New York World. Cobb’s paper proceeded to run a series of front-page stories in August about the German intrigues.
Day after day, revelations about the secrecy, funding, and scope of Germany's propaganda blitz outraged Americans—including antiwar journalists. Relations between Berlin and Washington deteriorated as the German ambassador to Washington was sent home. Viereck, for his part, continued to insist that neither he nor the German government had done anything wrong. Berlin was merely countering the Allies’ lies, he said, and the World’s story was part of a British propaganda plot. The question of propaganda was a heavi ly fraught topic during World War I, and it would remain so for years—even to the point of shaping attitudes two decades later toward the next world conflict and beyond. The term propaganda had originated with the Catholic Church, and for centuries it carried no particular negative connotations: it meant ideas that were to be propagated. But after World War I, the use of propaganda by the Germans, as well as by the Allied forces and the U.S. government itself, left a bitter aftertaste. The word propaganda, as the political scientist Harold Lasswell wrote, came "to have an ominous clang in many minds." (Lasswell, a realist when it came to such things, tried in vain to preserve the term’s neutral meaning.) This shift in meaning was a function of what Steven Pinker has called the "euphemism treadmill"—when a word refers to something we dislike, even a sanitized euphemism we’ve invented eventually takes on the negative connotations of its referent, forcing the invention of still newer euphemisms.8 Propaganda would eventually give way to a host of other words, from public relations to psychological warfare to today’s favored term of art, spin. But it wasn’t just the word propaganda that fell into disfavor with World War I; it was the practice. Until the United States entered the war in 1917, Americans were bombarded with all manner of propaganda from both sides in the European conflict; and after the United States joined the fighting, Wilson set up his own propaganda agency, the Committee for Public Information, under the leadership of the muckraker George Creel, which bombarded them some more. The American experience with propaganda in these years would thus nurture a deep and lasting skepticism among the public about the government provision of information.

      Feet shuffle, pack ’em in,
      Move up, fat men, squeeze in thin.

Street Car Sardines

Never full, pack them in,
Move up fat man, crowd in thin;
Trunks, valises, boxes, bundles,
Fill up gaps as on she trundles;
Market baskets without number,
Owners easy, nod in slumber.
Thirty seated, forty standing,
A dozen or more on either landing;
Old man lifts his signal finger,
Car slacks up, but does not linger,
He’s jerked aboard by sleeve or shoulder,
Shoved inside to sweat and smoulder.
Toes are trod on, hats are smashed,
Dresses soiled and hoopskirts crashed.
Thieves are busy bent on plunder,
Still we rattle on like thunder;
Packed together, unwashed bodies,
Bathed in fumes of whiskey toddies.
Tobacco, garlic, cheese and beer
Perfume the heated atmosphere;
Old boots, pipes, leather and tan,
And, if in luck, a soap fat man;
Aren’t we jolly? what a blessing,
A horse car hash with such a dressing.
