Radio in the 1920S: a Social Force in South Dakota Copyright © 1981 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Radio in the 1920s: A Social Force in South Dakota REYNOLD M.WiK Technology has profoundly influenced the life of people in South Dakota and the United States, and its impact on com- munication has been no exception. During the nineteenth cen- tury, information was disseminated by the use of the printing press, a telegraph system, telephones, and the phonograph. It was the advent of the radio in the 1920s, however, that opened the ears of Americans to the sounds of the world and established a new form of mass communication. With millions of people ex- posed to the new technology, radio became an instrument for social change. Fred Allen, one of the early radio comedians, fre- quently referred to the new gadget as "the furniture that talks," and William Jennings Bryan concluded that it was a gift of Providence.' Frederick Lewis Allen in Only Yesterday insisted that the radio boom in the twenties altered the daily habits of people as significantly as anything the decade produced.' Prior to 1920, the radio audience consisted of amateur hob- byists who listened to crude homemade receiving sets, consisting of earphones, a crystal of galena, and a few coils of wire. They could listen to messages sent from ships at sea or to a few in- dependent broadcasting stations. In the spring of 1920, Frank Conrad, an engineer with the Westinghouse Electric Company in 1.

He succeeded in sending out some music produced by phonograph records, and these programs reached a limited audience. The Pittsburgh Gazette described Conrad's ef- forts in detail and printed ads for radios sold at the Horne depart- ment store. This publicity encouraged the establishment of the first commercial broadcasting station, KDKA in Pittsburgh, which obtained a license on 27 October 1920. On 2 November. KDKA broadcast the returns of the Harding-Cox presidential election.' In South Dakota, also, amateurs were experimenting with transmission equipment prior to World War I without licenses from the federal government, making it difficult to be exact about the first radio broadcast in the state. Furthermore, an undeter- mined amount of time might have elapsed between the receipt of a license and the station's first transmission. Nevertheless, one of the earliest receiving and sending stations in the state existed in Eureka, where John A. Gardner and Edward R. Isaak began building a wireless in 1912 and eventually received the call let- ters 9TZ.^ In Pierre, Dana McNeil was also experimenting with Morse code over his wireless by 1916, and he applied for and received the twelfth license issued by the United States Depart- ment of Commerce in June of 1916 (Class 5, call letter 9ZP).'' Amateur licenses were suspended during World War I because of the possible security risk,** and broadcasting did not become regular or commercial until the 1920s. 3. E. P.

S. Dak.. 15 June 1970. The call letters and license were probably issued in 1916. Early transmissions were in Morse code, and the two men did not become proficient in use of the code until 19161917. The sUtion was closed down during World War I, but it reopened following the war with the call letters 9PI. Gardner and Isaak concentrated on voice and music transmission in the early 1920s, broad- casting recorded music for an hour each evening and for fairs and special occasions. The station closed down permanently in 1925. 5. [Max F. Staley. ed.).

The range of these early amateur radio operators was remarkable, making the security risk quite real. The Eureka station, for instance, was picking up the war news directly from Germany in 1916 and 1917. The federal government "sealed up" station 9TZ on Good Friday of 1917. shortly after the United SUtes declared war on Germany. Northwest Blade, 21 June 1962.

Radio in the 1920s 95 The state's colleges and universities also experimented with the new technology prior to the war, and several of them had licensed stations operational in 1922 and 1923. WEAJ {KUSD after 1927) at Vermillion went on the air in May 1922; WCAT at the School of Mines in Rapid City in July 1922; and KFDY at South Dakota's first amateur radio stations invariably became the pride of an entire community and an important link to national events. When train service faltered in the winter of 1917, the Northwest Blade reported that "while Eureka has been without train service since January SO, we are fortunate in having a connection with the outside world, possessed by few cities in the Northwest" (8 Feb. 1917). This connection, the paper explains, was provided through the wireless station of John A. Gardner (back to camera) and Edward Isaak (far right). Brookings in April 1923. Yankton College also had a short-lived station, 9YAK and later WJAU, licensed in 1921 and completed in the fall of 1922. Programming on these stations was irregular in the beginning and might consist of a single broadcast of football games or other event-oriented broadcasts at intervals. These col- Copyright © 1981 by the South Dakota State Historical Society.

The first attempts at truly commercial radio enterprises in the state took place in Sioux Falls and Yankton in 1922. The Sioux Falls Daily Argus-Leader newspaper company received a license and the call letters WFAT in the fall of 1922, Apparently intend- ed to put the city "on the map" and the local talent "before the limelight," the station proved unsuccessful as a business. The media was new, and local businessmen were reluctant to pur- chase air time when they had no idea of the size of their audience. On 8 November 1923, the newspaper announced that WFAT, "established more than a year ago by the Argus-Leader, has through the efforts of some local business men, been purchased and presented to Columbus College."" Columbus College, a Roman Catholic institution in the city, used the equipment intermittently until 1926. With the assist- ance of remote electronic equipment from the Northwestern Bell Telephone Company, this college station was the first station in South Dakota to produce a "live" broadcast of a national political speech. Although reception was not always good, an estimated one hundred thousand people heard Charles Gates Dawes give a campaign speech from the Sioux Falls Coliseum on 19 September 1924 over station WFAT." Technical production suffered from the fact that politicians were not used to the necessity of staying im- mobile, and Senator Peter Norbeck, who spoke on the same occa- sion, "was so earnest in his talk that he forgot the invisible radio audience and wandered away from the microphone.'"" Public response to this type of broadcast, in spite of its technical flaws, was encouraging, so when Robert LaFollette spoke in the city the following month, his speech was also broadcast over WFAT." In Yankton, back in November 1922, Dakota Radio Apparatus Company officials E. 0. Walgren and E. C. ("Al") Madson had received a broadcasting license from the United States Depart- ment of Commerce with the call letters WNAX. This station's first public broadcast occurred on 25 November 1922 as part of 7. Staley, South Dakota Broadcast Pioneers, p. 12; Yankton Press and Dako- tan. 2 Sept. 1922: Robert F.

WNAX contributed recorded music to the occasion.'- On 2 December, the Yankton Press and Dakotan reported: "Yankton broadcasted her first radio concert to the world last evening, and the Dakota Radio Apparatus Company ... has been receiving messages of congratulations from the surrounding territory all day. Friends were entertained at a number of homes about the city where there were receiving sets Mrs. Marie Ohlman Shipley sang Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Ohlman sat at a receiving set in the west part of the city and heard their daughter's voice by radio."'^ These efforts from WNAX were not to be steady fare, however. Businessmen were not yet sufficiently interested in this unpredictable and untested media. Consequently, WNAX closed, and the transmitter was put in storage for a time.''* By 1924, programming seems to have been again on the air over WNAX and now in a more regular, if sparse, fashion. On 12 April, the Press and Dakotan, in a special edition intended for wholesalers and manufacturers, reported that the Dakota Radio Apparatus Company "broadcast the market, weather and news particularly to farmers every morning at 11:30, and give a musical program Wednesday evenings at 9.

Peoples The Original Stamps Quartet: Palmer Wheeler, Roy Wheeler, Dwight Brock, Odis Echols, and Frank Stamps. Courtesy of Crossroads of Music Archive, Southwest Collection/Special Collections Library, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas, Echols Family Collection, A Diverse forms of religious music have always been important to the cultural fabric of the Lone Star State. In both black and white communities, gospel music has been an influential genre in which many musicians received some of their earliest musical training. Likewise, many Texans have played a significant role in shaping the national and international gospel music scenes. Despite the importance of gospel music in Texas, little scholarly attention has been devoted to this popular genre. Through the years, gospel has seen stylistic changes and the 25 development of subgenres. This article focuses on the subgenre of Southern gospel music, also commonly known as quartet music. While it is primarily an Anglo style of music, Southern gospel influences are multicultural. Southern gospel is performed over a wide geographic area, especially in the American South and Southwest, although this study looks specifically at developments in Northwest Texas during the early twentieth century. Organized efforts to promote Southern gospel began in 1910 when James D. Vaughn established a traveling quartet to help sell his songbooks.1 The songbooks were written with shape-notes, part of a religious singing method based on symbols rather than traditional musical notation. In addition to performing, gospel quartets often taught music in peripatetic singing schools using the shape-note method.

An economic backlash after the war created mounting bad loans. After the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) introduced a special treatment facility for the devastated area. The BOJ hoped to rescue solvent but illiquid financial institutions, but the facility was abused by banks that were already in financial distress, paving the way toward a financial crisis. Banking panic spread nationwide in the spring of 1927. In 1928, the authorities introduced new arrangements for prudential policy with mergers and acquisitions, new types of regulations, and dual inspection by the Ministry of Finance and the BOJ. These arrangements restored financial stability while imposing a new constraint on monetary policy. * Masato Shizume would like to thank the Seimeikai Foundation for financial support. 1 1. Introduction In this chapter, we look at the conduct of prudential policy in Japan during the 1920s. Japan experienced economic stagnation and financial instability following a boom during and right after World War I (WWI). An economic backlash and the government’s attempt to keep economic growth high even after the war created mounting bad loans. Then, the Great Kanto Earthquake hit the Tokyo metropolitan area in 1923, and the Bank of Japan (BOJ) introduced a special treatment facility for the devastated area.

  • The Red Scare in the 1920S: Political Cartoons
    BECOMING MODERN: AMERICA IN THE 1920S PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION * THE T WENTIES IN POLITICAL CARTOONS THE Eight political cartoons on the Red Scare are presented in this collection. Published in main- stream newspapers, they reflect the postwar RED SCARE anxiety fueled by anarchist bombings, nationwide labor strikes, radical activists, Communists in unions and liberal groups, and the murderous Bolshevik takeover of Russia in 1917. Americans wondered: Was a Communist-inspired revolu- tion imminent in America? Could it happen here? To analyze a political cartoon, consider its: CONTENT. First, basically describe what is drawn in the cartoon (without referring to the labels). What is depicted? What is happening? CONTEXT. Consider the timing. What is happening in national and world events at the time of the cartoon? Check the date: what occurred in the days and weeks before the cartoon appeared? LABELS. Read each label; look for labels that are not apparent at first, and for other written content in the cartoon. “The Cloud” The Atlanta Constitution, January 19, 1919 SYMBOLS. Name the symbols in the cartoons. What do they mean? How do they convey the cartoon’s meaning? TITLE. Study the title. Is it a statement, question, exclamation? Does it employ a well-known phrase, e.g., slang, song lyric, movie title, radio show, political or product slogan? How does it encapsulate and enhance the cartoonist’s point? TONE. Identify the tone of the cartoon. Is it satirical, comic, tragic, ironic, condemning, quizzical, imploring? What adjective describes the feeling of the cartoon? How do the visual elements in the drawing align with its tone? POINT.

  • The Japanese Economy During the Interwar Period
    20092009--JE--21 The Japanese Economy during the Interwar Period: 両大戦間期Instabilityの日本における恐慌と政策対応 in the Financial System and ― 金融システム問題と世界恐慌への対応を中心にthe Impact of the World Depression ― Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies 金融研究所 鎮目雅人 Masato Shizume 2009 年 4 月 May 2009 The Japanese economy during the interwar period faced chronic crises. Among them, the Showa Financial Crisis of 1927 and the Showa Depression of 1930-31 marked turning points. The Showa Financial Crisis of 1927 was the consequence of persistent financial instability because of the incomplete restructuring in the business sector and postponements in the disposal of bad loans by financial institutions. The crisis brought reforms in the financial sector through large-scale injections of public funds and the amalgamation of banks. The Showa Depression of 1930-31 was caused by the Great Depression, a worldwide economic collapse, which had been intensified in Japan by the return to the Gold Standard at the old parity. Japan escaped from the Great Depression earlier than most other countries through a series of macroeconomic stimulus measures initiated by Korekiyo Takahashi, a veteran Finance Minister who resumed office in December 1931. Takahashi instituted comprehensive macroeconomic policy measures, including exchange rate, fiscal, and monetary adjustments. At the same time, the Gold Standard, which had been governing Japan’s fiscal policy, collapsed in the wake of the British departure from it in September 1931. Then, Japan introduced a mechanism by which the government could receive easy credit from the central bank without establishing other institutional measures to govern its fiscal policy. This course of events resulted in an eventual loss of fiscal discipline.
