Face to Face With Herbert B. Swope New York World Chief (By Jon MltcOull Chappie) Under tile gilded dome of the World Building in New York, Herbert H. Swope directs the nbght'y news gatheiing force of a metropolitan paper. There is a refreshing informality alsnit his office in contrast with the oriental tug, glass topped table sort of Gotham that reminds one of headstones. Conferences are held fast and furious —decisions reached in the twinkling of an eye, for presses are waiting. Herbert Swope has raised reporting to the nth power, in his office room the spirit of Joseph Pulitzer prevails. Ever since he began his career us a reporter on the "Post Dispatch” in his birthplace, St. Louis, Mo., Herbert Swope has had one dominant idea in mind and that is news, md more news fearlessly presented as news. As war correspondent during the days of the Peace Conference in France for Yhe New York World, and in Germany during ‘.he stirring days of 1914, he had experiences that come to few in the diplomatic service. This work won him a prize. One of the moving influences at the late National Democratic Convention at Madison Square Garden, New York City, he was an active factor in the i nomination of John W. Davis. Over! his desk is a picture of the intrepid Roosevelt and of many other eminent men with whom,he has come in personal contact. While his feet were on the desk and he was conferrng with his associates, just as he di 1 in the reporters’ room, he understands how to meet them everywhere, anywhete, any time in the race of life. In his book, "inside the German Empire,” Herbert Swope gives a graphic account of stirring adventures in Germany during the early part of the World War, which led to his appointment as chairman of the American Press Delegation, appointed by the Paris Peace Conference. He wa s one of the few men present who seemed to Jtnow everything that was going on—and did not get it from documents or “statements.” As Claire Sheridan said of him at one time when dining wkh Maxine Elliott:

Goodrk.i t >,■ ith Evans and Bossert Ku Klux j Kli.n leaders in a manner which did t not please the ex governor who ini- t mediately wrote a strong denial of ( ».ny connection with the hooded order j now or at any other time past or future, demanded a retraction and ■ hreatened prosecution for libel. In today’s paper the Star retracts good < tnd plenty, apologizes and declares ‘ they never meant it. A milwaukee pastor i s happy in the , belief that we have made real pro-1 gross in politics since the old “hip, 1 hip, hurrah days.'' He says that voters nowadays, as election time approaches, are doing less shouting and more thinking. Perhaps they do. But ; la the additional amount of thinking ■ translated into practical results.' Judging from the trend of electrical figures, an increasing number of voters fail to give the nation and themselves, the benefits of their silent meditation by failure to go to the polls. These perhaps thoughtful but inactive voters, it is to be hoped, will be reached this year by efforts of the churches to get out the vote. A thorough sustained campaign of education may do much to overcome the evil of civic slackerism this year. A dispatch from Boston announces that the Christian Endeavor Society will make a personal Canvass of Its 500,000 members who will reach the vot- | !ng age this year, urging them to reg- ' iatt-.r and vote. A wide field is open ’,to the churches to promote good gov- •' ernment. The task of reawakening ■’. an active Voting interest in politics ‘ not a partisan matter and the pul-, pit no doubt can reach a large part' 1 i>f the public that has become indiff-i erent t- admonitions trom other, sources.

HERBERT B. SWOPE says: “If every child could be trained early in life to get the facts and train ! ed how to use the facts, there would not be a lot of was.e effort and energy j dissipated.”

"There is a type of American! What force, what energy! ‘Dynamic,’ she; said of him to some one. 'No, cyclonic,’ they corrected.” Horben: Bayard Swope is a cosmopolite. Whether in a political coni ference or in a group on the Bowery, I on Riverside Drive, or on Wall Street, he is always a newspaper man. With ■ clear blue eyes, hair pompadour, well brushed back, he moves about quickly 1 and yet seems to have all the time ! there is in the world. The young mon who won the prize 1 for most meritorious news work, and whom Lord Northcliffe called the most alert and abler! newspaper nun of the' day, has a philosophy all his own: ! "Alnio.-a everything in life depends upon ‘getting the story. - for the story includes the fact. Information is the 'thing that counts, whether on a race track, on Wall Street, in literature. | art. or science. If every child could be trained early in life to get the facts and trained how to use the facts, there would be saved a vast amount of waste effort and energy now dissipated. People are dependent on newspapers for news so they can get the' facts and story of their own business more thoroughly. Human nature i; the thing to understand in de.dug with retvs. The newspapef might be called j the common denominator to which current information is reduced for . public information."
