A Philadelphia Times report notes that Adolph Ochs now controls three major papers including the New York Times and the Chattanooga Times. The piece recalls Ochs, former Chattanooga mayor, and outlines his continued influence in the newspaper world through family ownership and management of the papers.
The article argues Adolph Ochs and his sons earned success through relentless energy and business skill, not trust magnate backing. It notes they started with nothing, worked from printer’s devil to ownership, and financed progress themselves, inspiring others to rely on personal ability.
In a reply to Henry Watterson, John Temple Graves argues Mr Stephens is dead but his Civil War history refutes Watterson’s account of the Hampton Roads conference.
