Naturally, a paper like the Comet is practically barren of reputable advertising despite the hiring of mercenary or publicity-hungry clergymen to write daily editorials. But on the theory that a million circulation-no matter what its class- will force advertisers to buy space, the Comet and its competitors push on, trying to outdo each other in nauseous antics. And that weird battle robs Editor Peters of his bitterest competitor and closest friend-Editor Anthony Wayne of the Lantern. Here Author Gauvreau makes no attempt to obscure the figure of the late Editor Philip Payne of the Mirror, to whom...

Any talk of loss of liberty through the monopolistic control of the ether ... is too grotesque to need to be given more than a line in an address like this...
...political forces have been enlisted in California and elsewhere to support the Coffey-Humber process. It has more backing than any other cancer remedy ever put forward. Therefore, there is no danger of them missing a square deal. "I advise you [Dr. Coffey and Dr. Humber] not to push this undertaking in New York in the face of this organized opposition. Confine your activities to California for the present. Other men have been burnt by cancer remedies. I've been burnt by one or two myself." Last Word.
