had no right to accept compensation in any
form for its editorial opinion, even though that compensation was after the fact and the opinion had
been formed without any expectation of it.
This question has been raised several times since
in somewhat different form, and without political
connections. A number of requests have been made
for a considerable number of copies of the paper for
free distribution on account of an article appearing
in the editorial or news columns. Always the request has been refused, though permission to reprint
articles from The Times for distribution has been
freely granted, on condition that the reprint contain
some statement making it clear that The Times had
no hand in the distribution. It has been the publisher's opinion that this policy prevented the
growth, of mistaken opinions not only outside, but
more particularly within The Times office. He was
seeking the confidence of the public, but he regarded
as still more essential the confidence of those who
were associated with him in making the newspaper.
Mr. Ochs has always felt that he need not be concerned about public opinion with respect to The
Times if its editors believe in his sincere desire for
clean, honest work.
Some years ago a prominent Western manufacturer wrote to The Times and ordered the paper sent
daily for a year to fifty clergymen in his town. His
reason was that he regarded The Times as a good
newspaper, in fact, the best newspaper, and he
thought that ministers in a small city of the interior
might have their outlook on the world broadened by
the study of its pages.
