London seems a fertile field for news
paper ventures, judging from the num
ber of dailies that have sprung into
existence during the last few years,
says the New York Herald’s corre
spondent.
Only recently Mr. Alfred Harms-
worth’s new Daily Mirror, a paper for
w'omen, made its first bow to the pub
lic, and now Mr. W. T. Stead is going
to begin early next month a daily
which will be almost entirely sociolog
ical in character.
Mr. Stead gave me some details as
to the character and makeup of his
new publication. “I hope not only to
produce a paper,” said he, “that will
be good in itself, but at the same time
create an organization among its sub
scribers for mutual purposes of co-op
eration. I think if I could manage to
get 200,000 subscribers in London to
whom 1 could hope to appeal each day,
to whom 1 could deliver the paper at
their own doors just at the time when
the man has gone to business and the
women and children of the household
have an opportunity of reading it,
great results might be accomplished.
“The Daily Taper”—and that, from
all I could learn, is apparently the
name Mr. Stead has selected—“will be
an evening journal, delivered between
10 and 12 o’clock in the morning. It
will consist of twelve pages and will
be sold on the news stands for a pen
ny. It will be a little larger than the
Westminster Gazette and delivered at
houses. The subscription will be a
shilling per month or half a guinea per
year.
“The messengers, who will be bright
young girls, will be instructed to col
lect from each subscriber letter com
plaints or advertisements In envelopes
addressed to the editor, and In this
way 1 hope to get in personal touch
with all my readers.
‘Twenty depots, in time to be In
creased to sixty, will be established at
various points in the city, at each of
which I expect to have a ‘poste re-
stante,’ which sort of thing does not
exist in London now; a free telephone,
circulating library, reading room or
place to call and, I hope, an automatic
restaurant.
“If a wife who has to stay at home
wishes to send a message, all she will
have to do will be to put It into an en
velope in the morning, and in two
hours K will be at the depot, the mes
sage will be sent on to the tradesman,
the articles desired being delivered
‘C. O. D.’ in the afternoon.
“It is a great social experiment us to
whether one can use a newspaper for
social service. A newspaper is the
only organizing center left to the world
which is not necessarily sectarian or
partisan. I shall be a sort of preach
ing friar who will be willing to act
as a maid of all work.
“The Daily Taper will be a home
paper. Everything will be kept out
which one might not desire one’s chil
dren to see. There will be no racing in
it and no stock exchange reports. Thus
I shall get so much more space. It will
be intensely political, but not partisan,
the idea being to cause the atmosphere
of the home to permeate the whole em
pire. The paper Is going to be cheer
ful. 1 shall be an optimist of opti
mists and try to find the goodness of
badness and bright points of every
thing, including Loudon fog and Mr.
Chamberlain's fiscal policy.
“As to its contents, there will be a se
rial on the basis of an endless story,
which will be based on events in the
day’s news. One page will be set aside
for children.
“As to editorials, there will be a col
umn leader and perhaps a column of
occasional notes. About foreign news
: I shall not worry much at first I want
j to localize the paper.
“There will be four editions, all pub
lished at the same hour, and one for
each of the four divisions of Loudon.
“The first number will appear Jan. 4.
“Another principle I hope to follow
in the paper is of not hitting back when
hit. I shall take it lying down and
while In that posture see how I can do
good to the hitter, though I rather fear
this will be bard to live up to.
“There will be frequent cartoons and
maps, two of the former appearing
each day, original, borrowed, bought or
stolen.”
Mr. Stead told me he bad also anoth
er subscription rate of a guinea a year,
which entitles the subscriber not only
to the Dally Taper and two other mag
azines, but also to an accident Insur
ance policy for £100.
