Sticking pins into a map of China became last week a more exciting game than many another. A big black-headed pin was appropriate to pierce the spot where a high Chinese official had his nose cut off and his eyes gouged out. Only a shining white-headed pin would do to show where a U. S. doctor was shot down trying to save some Chinese young women from rape. Finally a whole packet of pins could have been used up on Chinese towns where bloodshed, starvation and atrocious cruelty held sway. Shrewd pinners pierced the following places as most...

From the time that they first began to wiggle pencils, Cousins McCormick & Patterson knew that the Tribune was waiting for them. They took over the reins of editorship in 1914, and after the War their whip cracked loudly, domineeringly. The morning field in Chicago had been cut down to two newspapers: the Tribune and the Hearst-owned Herald and Examiner.* In a circulation war which culminated in the distribution of nearly $1,000,000 worth of "lucky number" coupons, both newspapers distinguished themselves in bad taste and the Tribune achieved a domination which has never since been threatened.
