  • The Argument of the Broken Pane', Suffragette Consumerism And
    1 TITLE PAGE ‘The Argument of the Broken Pane’, Suffragette Consumerism and Newspapers by Jane Chapman, Professor of Communications, Lincoln University School of Journalism, Campus Way, Lincoln LN6 7TS, tel. 01522 886963, email: [email protected] 2 Abstract Within the cutthroat world of newspapers advertising the newspapers of Britain’s Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) Votes for Women and The Suffragette managed to achieve a balance that has often proved to be an impossible challenge for social movement press – namely the maintenance of a highly political stance whilst simultaneously exploiting the market system with advertising and merchandising. When the militant papers advocated window smashing of West End stores in 1912 - 13, the companies who were the target still took advertisements. Why? What was the relationship between news values, militant violence, and advertising income? ‘Do-it-yourself’ journalism operated within a context of ethical consumerism and promotionally orientated militancy. This resulted in newspaper connections between politics, commerce and a distinct market profile, evident in the customization of advertising, retailer dialogue with militants, and longer-term loyalty – symptomatic of a wider trend towards newspaper commercialism during this period. Keywords: suffragettes, Votes for Women, The Suffragette, window smashing, advertisers, ethical consumerism, WSPU. Main text Advertisers ‘judge the character of the reader by the character of the periodical’ (George French, Advertising: the Social and Economic Problem, 1915) ‘The argument of the broken window pane is the most valuable argument in modern politics’ (Emmeline Pankhurst, Votes for Women, 23 Feb.1912). Introduction and contexts One of the great achievements of the many and various activist women’s groups in Britain was their ability – despite, or more likely because of the movement’s diversity – to maintain a high, if fluctuating, public profile for a sustained period in history.

  • The Buffalo Soldiers in Vermont, 1909–1913
    The Buffalo Soldiers in Vermont, 1909–1913 The arrival of the Tenth Cavalry sent Burlington into demographic shock. Almost overnight the small city acquired a substantial black community, a situation that clearly dismayed many residents. By David Work n July 1909, the Tenth United States Cavalry Regiment, one of four regular army black regiments collectively known as the Buffalo ISoldiers, arrived in Burlington, Vermont, to begin a four-year tour of duty at Fort Ethan Allen in neighboring Colchester. Their arrival alarmed the almost exclusively white population. Many people feared the presence of sizable numbers of African American soldiers in their community and a bitter debate ensued over whether the city should adopt Jim Crow facilities. For the next four years, the Tenth Cavalry would encounter similar reactions as it traveled throughout the north- east and as far south as Winchester, Virginia. Wherever they went, the black soldiers faced fear and suspicion and had to demonstrate good behavior to win the acceptance of the white population. Created in 1866, the Tenth Cavalry achieved its greatest fame in the late nineteenth century on the western frontier and then served with distinction during the Spanish-American War. In that conflict, the regi- ment charged up San Juan Hill with Theodore Roosevelt’s Rough Riders and won public renown as the “fighting Tenth Cavalry.” In the early twentieth century, the Tenth fought in the Philippine War, served in ..................... DAVID WORK earned his Ph.D. in American history in May 2004 at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. He is currently teaching at Texas A&M Uni- versity in Doha, Qatar.

Alfred Harmsworth, Lord Northcliffe (1865-1922), acquired The Times newspaper in 1908. In adding the most influential and reliable voice of the British establishment and of Imperially- fostered globalisation to his growing portfolio of newspapers and magazines, Northcliffe aroused some opposition among those who feared that he would rely on his seemingly infallible ear for the popular note and lower the tone and weaken the authority of The Times. Northcliffe had long hoped to prise this trophy from the control of the Walters family, convinced of his ability to make more of the paper than they had, and from the beginning applied his singular energy and intuition to improving the fortunes of ‘The Thunderer’.

  • Spectroheliographic Observations in Madrid (1912 – 1917)
    The Physics of Chromospheric Plasmas ASP Conference Series, Vol. 368, 2007 Petr Heinzel, Ivan Dorotoviˇc and Robert J. Rutten, eds. Spectroheliographic Observations in Madrid (1912 – 1917) J. M. Vaquero, M. C. Gallego, F. J. Acero and J. A. Garc´ıa Departamento de F´ısica, Universidad de Extremadura, Spain Abstract. We have compiled information and data on solar spectrohelio- graphic observations in Madrid during 1912–1917. We have created a database with information on 829 flocculi specifying heliographic position, dates of obser- vation, angular velocity, and typology. We analyze the reliability of the data by reconstructing the butterfly diagram, active longitudes, and flocculi typology. 1. Introduction The Madrid Astronomical Observatory was founded in the 18th century. Dur- ing the first years of the 20th century, this observatory made an active program of solar observations (sunspots, prominences, solar corona during eclipses, solar spectroscopy, etc.). In 1911, the observatory bought a spectroheliograph (As- carza 1912). The installation of this spectroheliograph was completed during the first months of 1912 (Ascarza & Tinoco 1915). In this work we provide some information about the spectroheliograph of the Observatory of Madrid, and aim to show the reliability of the data obtained from 1912 until 1917. Wwe have constructed a database of the flocculi observed in Madrid described in Section 2. In Section 3 some final comments are given. The spectrohelioscope of the Observatory of Madrid consisted of three fun- damental parts (Fig. 1). The first is a polar heliostate with two flat mirrors of 0.2 m diameter. The second is a lens of 0.25 m diameter and 6.8 m focal length.
