Neill started his career as a newspaperman in Dawson, North Dakota, where he married Ada Allen. Frustrated with the pace of development in Dawson and lured by a magazine’s promotional piece, he brought his wife and his editor, J. J. Sargent, with him to the tiny town of Pullman in Washington Territory, where together they founded the Pullman Herald in 1888. Neill’s brothers-in-law Wilford, Ira, and Karl Allen, would later serve as editors.Fire was a prevalent theme in the history of Pullman and is well-documented in the pages of this paper. In 1886 and 1887, fires decimated the city's business district. The civic-minded Herald began a series of editorials arguing for a fire department. In the September 14, 1889, issue the editors wrote, "Moscow [Idaho] had decided to bond the city for $30,000 for water works while Pullman protects itself from fire with talk... [shall we wait] until the fiery demon sweeps us into oblivion, and then blame ourselves for our almost criminal neglect?" A third fire swept through the town in July 1890 before the citizens took action.Despite these early setbacks, the Pullman grew steadily, and the Herald staff, especially the "fighting editor" Wilford Allen, lobbied aggressively on the town's behalf. The newspaper co-sponsored Pullman’s first oil street lights in 1890, celebrated the town’s water resources (dubbing Pullman "The Artesian City,"), and pushed aggressively for the opening of a branch of the Northern Pacific Railroad. This early mania for self-promotion and development was largely driven by Washington statehood in 1889 and the promise that a new state agricultural school would be built east of the Cascades. Neill, Wilford Allen, and other early residents persistently lobbied the legislature, and in 1890 the Washington Agricultural College (now Washington State University) was located in Pullman, thus ensuring the long-term viability of the community.At the turn of the century, the prohibition of alcohol became a heated topic in Pullman. The Herald promoted the "dry" side, and in 1907 the Pullman News was launched on behalf of "wet" interests. The fight was quite bitter, but by 1910 Pullman was declared a "dry” community. The following year, the Herald absorbed the News , and in 1919 it took over another local paper the Pullman Tribune.Extreme farm debt and depressed commodity prices were persistent issues in Whitman County, a center of the Populist movement. A Herald article in February 1918 attributed fires in wheat fields and the burning of farm equipment to activities of the radical Industrial Workers of the World. In 1909, the Pacific Farmer's Union purchased the Herald from Wilford Allen. The paper was edited and eventually acquired by William Goodyear, with Karl Allen serving as co-editor. An index of the newspaper from the 1880s through the 1920s is available at the Washington State University Libraries</p>

<p>The Daily Gate City and Constitution-Democrat<br />Veröffentlichung: Keokuk, Lee, Iowa, USA<br />Datum: 31. Okt. 1918<br />Text: "...sane for be 8ecretary of C,MB four an Died From Drowning." United Press Leased Wire Service. WASHINGTON, Oct 31.—Arthur Lee Day, U. S. N., Pullman, Washington, died October 26 from drowning, the navy department..."<br />Über diese QuelleLocated at the confluence of the Des Moines and Mississippi rivers, Keokuk is one of two county seats in Lee County and one of the oldest communities in Iowa. It began as a trading post in the 1820s and evolved into a settlement, village, and city over the next 20 years. It is unknown why it was named for the legendary Sauk chief, but the settlement became known as Keokuk shortly after the conclusion of Blackhawk’s War in 1832. It was incorporated in December 1847. The Daily Gate City was not the first newspaper in Keokuk. That distinction belonged to the Iowa Argus and Lee County Advertiser, a Democratic paper founded by the first state auditor, William Pattee, in 1846. The following spring, in May 1847, brothers John W. and Robert B. Ogden started the Keokuk Register as an alternative voice in support of the Whig Party. In 1849, this paper was merged with the Des Moines Valley Whig, which had been established at Keosauqua in July 1846 by James Bruen Howell and James H. Cowles. This merged publication became the Keokuk Daily Gate City, which has been published by the Gate City Publishing Company since 1855. The history of the Daily Gate City is closely intertwined with the lives and careers of James Bruen Howell and Samuel Mercer Clark. Howell was one of the founders and an early editor of the paper. An intensely political figure, Howell worked tirelessly to advance the cause of the Republican Party in Iowa and across the nation. He vigorously opposed slavery and secession and used his paper to rally his readers to the Union cause. Howell was rewarded for his service with appointments as the Keokuk Postmaster (1861-66), a U.S. Senator (1870-71), and as one of three judges on the Court of Southern Claims (1871-80). Samuel Mercer Clark served as editor of the Daily Gate City for more than three decades, from 1869 until his death in 1900. Like Howell, Clark was a political figure and edited the paper accordingly. Clark also served a term as Keokuk postmaster (1879-85). He was also an active member and president of the Keokuk Board of Education (1879-94). Clark remained engaged as editor until his election to the U.S. Congress in 1894. He served two terms, but declined to run again in 1898. Clark returned to his editorial duties in 1899, but passed away in August 1900 at the age of 57. In the following years, the Daily Gate City continued to expand. In 1916, it merged with the Keokuk Constitution-Democrat to form the Keokuk Daily Gate City and Constitution-Democrat. From 1922 to 1940, the name of the paper was changed back to the Daily Gate City. It reverted back to the combined title from 1940 to 1957, before returning once again to the Daily Gate City, the title under which it continues to publish today</p>

(Edward Willis) Scripps once wrote that "the best community in which to found a newspaper is one that is comparatively young and whose population has in very recent time increased." With a population of 40,000 and growing, Seattle at the turn of the century fit Scripps' description well. Scripps hired editor E. Hazard Wells to found his latest venture, the Seattle Star, on February 2, 1899.Scripps’ papers generally supported the principle of public ownership. The Star was a strong advocate of a 1902 ballot initiative to allow the city of Seattle to generate its own power, for instance. When Editor Wells planned to start a newspaper in Tacoma (the Tacoma Times), Scripps proposed borrowing money for the venture from employees. The notes promised to pay 6 percent interest for two years. This idea grew into the Newspaper Saving Society and the First Investment Company, a form of employee ownership.Scripps thought that advertising had a corrupting effect on journalism. In 1903 the Bon Marché department store stopped advertising in the Star because the editorial staff refused to suppress unfavorable articles about the store. When the Star's business manager Edwin Foster Chase told Scripps that he regretted losing the contract, Scripps congratulated him instead. To reduce his papers’ reliance on advertising, Scripps focused on increasing circulation and limiting advertising space in order to inflate the value of that space.Though Scripps generally took a hands-off approach to the daily management of his newspapers, he conceived of his business as a service to the working people. Occasionally his editorial staff would drift from the central mission of supporting the interests of labor and the poor, and Scripps felt the need to intervene. For instance, when Star Editor Byron Hilton Canfield opposed the Seattle General Strike of 1919, Scripps wrote a heated "disquisition" in response. It appears under the title of "Ingratitude?" in I Protest: Selected Disquisitions of E. W. Scripps, edited by Oliver Knight (Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 1966). The Seattle Star remained in publication until 1947</p>
