OverviewExcerpt from Literature and Insurgency: Ten Studies in Racial Evolution If our journalism, like the machine politics that it represents, is our most crying national disgrace to day; if numbers of our yellowest yellow journals and the smuggest and most conventionally respectable of the American press higher up are the mouth pieces of Big Business, and directly or indirectly its paid prostitutes and liars, the very cynicism of their open immorality has served to divert public atten tion from other vital factors in the formative proc esses of American thought and literary and social morality, that in the long run cannot and will not be disregarded. Any man in the street, in any one of fifty or more of our largest American cities, can tell you facts about the rottenness of American politics that might well make Benjamin Franklin's or George Washing ton's hair stand on end. Any child that reads and reflects, that has any adequate sense of literary values in the up-to-date output of the American public library and maga zine world, can, if so inclined, frankly characterize and criticise the woman-produced-read-and-catered to-literature of the day and hour in America, in terms that might well make Washington Irving, Lowell, Lanier, Emerson and Hawthorne turn over in their graves and gasp.
