America's Premier Newspaper Publisher Passes On By BERNARD POSTAL
mcssJiKC t<i :innnkiiKl at' hirsc.
Tile orJKin of this fcstiv..vl, may be traced :ta thc titne wlien Israel dwelt Pale..itinc and engaged in aRi^itidture and the coming ot .spring was bf special sig¬ nificance. It marked the beginning of the bai-le'y, harvest. Tbe people look the first fruit.'i of their harvest to the Temple at Jerusalem, .and dlTered them to God with joyom thaiitegiving. Passover be¬ gan as a nature festival, buf with, the passage of lime its appe.ll as a nature festival gradually, disappeared, and in¬ stead an historical clement, "the story of' the deliverance of the Children of Israel from Egyptian bondage, became its domi¬ nant motif.' '
The story, as given' in the book of E.xodus, tells, hoiv the Pharaobs who ruled over Egypt enslaved, the, Children of Israel who dwelt .in., their land. Be¬ neath the lash ot tbe taskmaster the. He¬ brew slaves labored utider cruelly rigorr oils, conditions,^ building cities,; palacc,s and pyramids... Mo.te.s sought, to deliver theni from their misery and siiffering: Again, and again hc appealed to Pharaoh to send, them out of.:the land of Egypt as free men, but in vain; Finally, when the. first-born sons of Egypt-were smit¬ ten, Pliaraoh let the' people' of Israel go and Moses led them throtigh the wilder ness fo the foot of Sinai Where the law bf God was revealed to, them, and ithey werb consecrated to .the observance and promulgation of this taw, ¦. This vivid account has inspired the Jewish people to cherish through- the centtiries the vision of freedom, aiid to dedicate the Passover observance io the attainment thereof; for all mankind.

—The Editor.
For nearly two generations,, the New. York Times has been recognized, as the world's greatest newspaper, but it-was duly- with the death- of its publisher, Adolph Simon Ochs, that the public learned that no one man and no great institution were so cohipletcly identified as- creator and creation as -were. Ochs and the Times. Ochs' notable achieve¬ ment was not so much the fact I'.iat he

it was in CbatlanooRa that he enuii- ciate<l the journalistic principles which he followed throughout bis publishing .career. Having seen much of the so- called personal joUrnalisn^ which made no distinction between the news columns and the editorial page,; Ochs determined to! publish a true "news-paper." His ideals were justified in the first year when the Chattanooga Times showed a profit of. two thousand dollars. For eighteen years he was a' Chattanooga publisher, becomT ing one of the city's first citizens. He was the acknowledged w'elcomcr of all distinguished guests to the city. Iii this task he had the valuable assistance of his wife, the daughter of Riibbi Isaac Mayer Wise, founder of American Reform. Jtidiasm, the Hebrcvif Union-College and the Union of American Hebrew Congre¬ gations, wligni he married in 1883.-   One

the most r)rosperous newspapers of all times, but rather that he was the master mind of the outstanding triumph -of modern journalism in any land. Ochs was the towering oafc of .American jour¬ nalism, a genius who built an enduring monument to himself and to his country on the firm foundation of sound principle and large vision. Under his administra¬ tion the Tiines became far more thaii a newspaper. It grew into a world-famous institution, a great organ bf public: edu¬ cation and public bpiiiiqn unequalled iii influence, which set the staridard of ex¬ cellence for newspapers, throughout the ¦world.;..,
Ochs was bprh in Cincinnati on March 12,. 1858, the son of Julius and Bertha Levy Ochs, who had emigrated from Germany in 1844' Adolph's father was a learned man, speaking. French, German, Hebrewr, Spanish, Italian atid English. He served in the Mexican and Civil Wars, arid during the Reconstruction era was a -jiistice of the peace and United States Gomhiiiisipher in KnoxviHci Ten- nessee. Adplph's mother was- an Alsatian, and her paternal side was a descendent of .\chille Fpuld, Napoleon Ill's financial muiister. She was active in the German revohitionary movement and when she, came to America was an ardent sym.^ patiilzer with the- Confederacy ^and had a. brother and other relatives in the South¬ ern army, notwithstaiiding' her husband, was a Union .pfHcer. .Adolph was seven, years old when his' family.nipved to Knoxvilje, where at the age bf.' eleven he began delivering papers for the Knoxville C/iro«ic/e,' In 1870 he wcnt'to Providence to sfcrve as cash boy in an Uncle's -gocery store. Returning to.. Kiioxville the followiiig year he was apprenticed.to a druggist but after a few months returned to school.. When he was fifteen he got a,job as a printer's devil, on the . Knoxyille Chronicle. - Smitten _ with the wanderlust; Ochs left Knoxville in 1875 intending to, go to California, His only assets were testimonials from Knoxville's Reading' citizens. Relatives persuaded him not to .go west.;and he finally went to. Loiiisville, where be obtained, work on Henry 'Walter son's, famous Courier-Jountal as ^ pi'inter's apprentice, Shortly after, he returned to Knoxville and became a compositor on the Tribune. He was successfully 'assist¬ ant fbrenian, reporter, assistant business manager and managing ,editor,
,In 1877 the publisher, of the TrifrHM^' established the Chattanooga jDij/'a/f/i and took tlie nineteen-year-old Ochs along as a general assistant, a .euphemism for the combined job of printer, reporter aiid editor. As a sideline he edited and com¬ piled thc first city directory. _ When the Dispatch. ii\le(] in. 1878 Ochs was ap¬ pointed receiver. After liquidating its debts he arranged a merger with the Chattanooga Times, which he, bought in 1881. In.this venture he displayed the remarkable ingenuity and ability that was later to bring greater success with tlie AVu' Y'ork Times. When he acquired the Chattanooga Titncs he was practi¬ cally penniless, but' he bought a control¬ ling ipterest in the paper' for $250, together with the assumption of a debt of i!l,200 >Yhich was to be repaid at the rate of ^50 a month. On a note for three hundred dollars a bank lent, him $287,in cash, of which $250 was paid as the purchase price, and $25 as a debt to the Associated,Press. His working capi¬ tal was thus twelve, dollars.' What he lacked in cash lie made up in work and energy. Ochs was at once proofreader, publisher, business, circulation and ad¬ vertising manager, reporter and book¬ keeper. He printed his paper on power supplied 'by a Negro. Before he was twenty-one the  Times was on the way
tinedtp Have a mhj or influence on Ochs' life. In 1890 Harry AUoway, a .Wall Street reporter for the. New York Tinics, came to Chattanooga to collect iriaferial i^or articles on thc industrial development of.the new. South.' Ochs rcmai-ked, to him casually that the then decadent New York Tmi^j was the greatest opportunity in AmericaA journalism.
H'ia. success ¦ with the, Chattanooga rfmcj imbued him with-thc ambition of building a similar paper in New York City. Through his, services to the South¬ ern Associated Press, which he founded and for a time managed, OchS was well krioWh , to publishers. , 'in i89G he. was invited to New York to become the busi¬ ness manager of the New York Mercury, iwhich had been taken over by a group of politicians interested in having a paper that would support free silver in the presidential election of 1896,. When Ochs learned the nature of the proposition he turned it,dowti because he ,was an op¬ ponent of free silver. It was then that Alloway telegraphed him that the Ti%nes -;,;;ould be bought cheap. Ochs was inter¬ ested biit he was dubious about his own ability to. make a success in New York. The, Times his.^ been.btie 'of'America's great papers and :its' fame had grown with its exposure of the Tweed Ring. Iil 1893 it had been bpiight by a syndicate of .prominent citizens whose inexperience plunged the pamper into. bankruptcy.
Invited to join in a proposed reorgani¬ zation of, the paper, Ochs imdertook the task although he did not have .the" Capital to secure the controlling interest for him¬ self, tt was arranged, however, that'he should reorganize the. paper- on a. basis which would assure him the .controlling interest.. By pooling his'capital and re¬ sources he raised $75,000 in cash, and .for this sum he was.to, receive within a, period of ten years, 51 per ceiit of the reorganized .stock,, if aiid when, for three cpnsecutive years he riiadc the paper pay expenses. Within three yea/s and ten months from the day he signed this' agreement on August 18, 169G, the con¬ trol and ownership of thf^ Nczv York Times were his.    The rest is history.
From that day on Ochs' imprint was on the.paper: His salutatory announce, ment promised to . conduct ' "a high' standard newspaper, clean, dignified .and trustworthy, for thoughtful, p.ure-minded people." Into one terse phrase, "all the news that's fit to, print," he'distiUfcd thc essence of his : journalistic creed- This policy brought immediate success and prosperity. Oil: his twenty-fifth anniver¬ sary- of ownership he announced, that gross receipts since he had been publisher were $25,000,000. All but $3,750,000 of this sum went back into the paper. Under his guidance the Tim cy became a world- vifide institution because ht emphasized the ' fact: that, a newspaper's, chief and only function was to" give the news. But to Ochs news" did not; mean sensation. ".'Ml the news that's fit tp print" became ¦niore than. a slogan. . The Tidies' reader never tiiissed anything for which he looked,, Because Ochs insisted on the Times covering all the news completely, thoroughly and at great length, regard¬ less of.the expense, no one has ever read the whole paper daily and no one ever will, in building the Times Ochs became more than a publisher, He was a creator of echicational values.^ The tremendous power and prestige the ovvnership of the Times gave him' he used not for his personal aggrandizement hut', to foster cognate undertakings for the spread pf knowledge.
. This unique and constructive achieve¬ ment in giving Americans a newspaper free of sensationalism and immature fea¬ tures, but replete with the complete daily history of the ivprld, won for Ochs un- {ContUiMcd on page 5)
at this.final isessibn of the meeting as he worked heroically to bring .all parties together in' a spirit of .compromise. All day Idtig he spoke with party leaders and individual members, pleading with, them to forget minor differences in order'that the Zionist movement might present a united front, ,,      '      i : ;
Throughout the session St was apparent, that the Revisionists ha!d ^prepared their course of action in adyance of the meet¬ iiig.'   Before tlie voting Oil the discipline resolutions began, the Revisionist mem¬ bers threatened that the adoption of'the resolutions would render ¦their participa-. tion in the Congress elections impossible. But the  other members, of  the Actiojis Comniittce took no heed bf these threats as^ they proceeded with their voting. When it was anhpunccd that the riesolutions had carried, J.  Ben ,Chorin,,. Revisionist  of Tel Aviv, took out a prepared, typewrit¬ ten statement in which theAetipns Com¬ mittee was accused of rejecting the peace pverfut-es of the Revisionists.  , Amidst a tense ' atmosphere, the Revisionist' mem¬ bers then left  the  meeting.    However, the  proceedings   continued   uninterrupt¬ edly/  Under the leadership of Ussishkin, the General,; Zionists; ¦;-thcr Laboritcs,', thc'^ Radical Party merribers,and part of the Mizrachi were brought together to agree on compromise resolutions qn the subject :Cif discipline, thus isolating the Revision¬ ists. , The session was preceded by efforts all day long to effect comprottiises. ,;The most important step .in this direction was made at a meeting between the Zionist Iixecutiye  and  the   General  Zionists,  at \\;hich  the  Executive, with the concur¬ rence   of the  Pther  parties,   waivied   its' demands that a written pledge -of sub¬ mission to discipline beobtained from all candidates and,delegates for tbe coming World Zionist Congress..-. : As. a. result   of   this   concession,   an agreenieut   wa.=;  reached  on  the  text of tiie shekel, and the discipline resolution. When tilci shekel resolution came up for action, B. Steinberg; Revisionist of Czer- iiowjtz, urged that-it be.withdrawn, but the   resohUiQii   carried   by^ a   vote   of thirty-six,   composed-of   Laborites   and General   Zionists  against   thirteen;   cpiii- prisiiig  the ;Rcvisionists  and  severaL of¬ the Mizrachi.   The adoption of the'reso- hition. followed   strong   speeches   in   its defense   by  -Ussishkin.  and   David   ben Gurionl   The resoliition on discipline was carrietl  with. foi;ty-five. votes,  only  the Revisionists opposing it, arid part of the Mizrachi, abstained   from\ voting. \ Tlie resniution    condemning    the    Revisionist petition', to the ' League of  Nations was ¦carried  by  the votes  of  all  parties,  in¬ cluding   the   Mizrachi,. with   only   the Revisionists voting in  the  negative.    In one of  llie strongest speeches  made at tlie  nieeting,   Ussishkin  spoke  in  behalf
adopted at the last,Congress which pro¬ vide, in part, that "the adhesion to the Zionist;.Organization presupposes- stibor- : ' di nation to its laws and the resolutions of the governing bodies."   Second: the discipline  resolution, which places upon the.Zionist Exeoitiw the obligation to bring to. the forthcoming nineteenth Con¬ gress proposals effectively to' strengthen the unity and authority of ,the Zionist:. Organization,   vtfith   adeqiiate   sanctions against the breakers of disEipline, partic- ., ularly' in  political matters, e^^n to the : extent of depriving breakers of discipline of membership in- the Zionist Orgahiza- ; ; tion.    Third.: the resolution against the Revisionist petition, which points out that ' the  defeat  sustained at the  Permanent Mandates   'Commission    vindicated    the warnings    sounded    previously    against separatist political activity. The resolution brands the Revisionist action in this mat- tei- as destru(;tive. .and expresses confi-- fclence that the discipline resolution and the,action to be taken by the Executive .- will end the anarchy which allows parties '¦, of theZionist Organization to take inde¬ pendent . actio,ii, . the   results, of   which prejudice,   the,,   position' of   the,  whole . ¦Organization.,- ^¦-...-^Wi- ^,.';..;,.,.,.,''-,-.;,/,'-'..
While  the vote was  still ¦ being taken on the resohitions, the Revisionist -mem-  , bcrs threatened that'the adoption of the resolutions would render .their participa¬ tion in the Congress elections impossible. They finally concentrated on the revival of the, demand that a round-table conf ei"- e.nce -be  sunimoried.    Dri-Nahuni  Gold- liiann.  who  was  presiding, declared  on. behalf" of the :praesidium that the pro-:,: ppsal, was   beyond   their  povirer,   as  tlie,. Actions Committee was unable to dictate to the parties what-course they should,. take.     There   had,  been   instances,   he pointed out, when the ExeCutiye had in-: - vited parties- to meet with them and the parties; had  refiiscd,' as  was their  full right to,do.    "After the Actions-Com¬ mittee." .'Dr. Gcildmaim declared, "the way ' is still, open for the parties to meet in, free discussion;" After this'declaration by Dr. Gpldmann, tJ.. Ben Chorin, speaking '; on behalf  of  the .Revisionists, read to the  Cpinmittee  a  prepared,  typewritten statement in which hq accused the Actions Comniittee of rejecting their peace over- ures  jind' cliarged  that  the  Comniittee . had, instead, imposed a party dictatorship through the shekel resolution .and by the coiulcmiiation of the Revisionist petition. He    announced    that    the    Revisionists, would  rioi   participate, in  the. Congreiis elections  and would withdraw  from the present session of ,.the Actions Committee. Thereupon' the   seven   Revisionists  rpsc and departed.   Although teu-seness .was iii the air,  the tranquility; of the  nieeting, remained undisturbed.    The proceedings CDUtinued without a hitch,...
