  • When Diplomats Fail: Aostrian and Rossian Reporting from Belgrade, 1914
    WHEN DIPLOMATS FAIL: AOSTRIAN AND ROSSIAN REPORTING FROM BELGRADE, 1914 Barbara Jelavich The mountain of books written on the origins of the First World War have produced no agreement on the basic causes of this European tragedy. Their division of opinion reflects the situation that existed in June and July 1914, when the principal statesmen involved judged the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Habsburg throne, and its consequences from radically different perspectives. Their basic misunderstanding of the interests and viewpoints 'of the opposing sides contributed strongly to the initiation of hostilities. The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the importance of diplomatic reporting, particularly in the century before 1914 when ambassadors were men of influence and when their dispatches were read by those who made the final decisions in foreign policy. European diplomats often held strong opinions and were sometimes influenced by passions and. prejudices, but nevertheless throughout the century their activities contributed to assuring that this period would, with obvious exceptions, be an era of peace in continental affairs. In major crises the crucial decisions are always made by a very limited number of people no matter what the political system. Usually a head of state -- whether king, emperor, dictator, or president, together with those whom he chooses to consult, or a strong political leader with his advisers-­ -decides on the course of action. Obviously, in times of international tension these men need accurate information not only from their military staffs on the state of their and their opponent's armed forces and the strategic position of the country, but also expert reporting from their representatives abroad on the exact issues at stake and the attitudes of the other governments, including their immediate concerns and their historical background.

  • 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 advocates of what is now popularly called "Scientific Management" assert that they aim to learn the truth concerning factory production in all its varied phases and to base upon such study a practical system of standard industrial operation -Honorable William C.

L S J PREFACE This work is a study of the cotton and wheat markets of the World War One era. Subjects including acreage, production, prices, and value of crops were studied. The relationship between the commodities producers and the government was also an area taken into consideration. The lobbying efforts of the cotton and wheat producers also were subjects for analysis. The study utilized figures on both national and state commodities production although the main subject of study was the impact of the World War upon the cotton and wheat markets of Oklahoma. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to all those associated with this study. In particular, I am especially indebted to my committee chairman, Dr. Roger Biles, who went above and beyond the call of duty in his assistance.

    January 1914 The Mifflinburg Telegraph newspapers of January 2 and January 9, 1914 were full of local, as well as national and international news. In the county The Union County Anti-Saloon League Delegate Convention held a meeting for delegates from the churches of Union County at the Presbyterian Church of Lewisburg on Tuesday, January 13, 1914. “The sense of the moral imperative should come upon the churches of Union County to use their power to eliminate the saloon and to send a man to the next Legislature true to the interests of Home Rule on the Liquor question.” Each church was entitled to send the pastor and two delegates. “Men, as delegates, should be sent, if practicable.” The organizers were I.P. Patch, W.M. Rearick and Bromley Smith. [The Anti-Saloon League coordinated the rural Protestant movement against alcohol. Prohibition, the ban on the sale, production, importation and transportation of alcoholic beverages was in place in the US from 1920 to 1933.] Weddings The White Deer valley saw two weddings at residents' homes in early January 1914. Charles A. Shireman, of Allenwood, wed Florence L. Miller at her parent's home, the Rev. S.F. Tholan of the Lutheran church officiating. Chas. S. Winner, of Montoursville and Sarah Wertz of White Deer were married by Rev W.W. Closer at Augustus Wertz's home.

  • Mayor William Racker Biography
    Mayor William Racker­Lehi’s 20th Mayor 1911­1913 By Richard Van Wagoner Lehi’s thirty­first municipal election, held on November 7, 1911, pitted the incumbent mayor, Democrat Edward Southwick against Republican challenger William E. Racker, prominent local merchant. As on several previous occasions, the principal issue of the day was prohibition, a subject which seemed to bring out the vivisectionist on both sides of the political ticket. Former Democratic Mayor Abel J. Evans, in a November 4 article in the “Lehi Banner” summarized Mayor Southwick’s record: We point with pride to the clean, energetic, and efficient administration given to the people of Lehi during the past two years by a Democratic Mayor and City Council, wherein the law has been vigorously, conscientiously, and justly enforced against all persons alike, and especially the carrying out, and the vigorous enforcement of the law against violators of the liquor ordinance, to the end, that the traffic in intoxicants has been induced to the minimum in so much that it is referred to by people generally as being the freest City from the sale of liquor in the State of Utah. And we pledge the nominees of the Democratic Convention, if elected, at the polls November 7, 1911, to a continuation of the earnest, conscientious, and persistent enforcement of the law in the future as in the past. Local Republicans were irate. The prohibition law was county­wide, and all officials, regardless of their political affiliation were bound by oath to enforce it. Morgan Evans and William Asher, local Republican officials, blasted the Democratic platform.
