To-Day Editorials, weekly from 11 November 1893 to 30 October 1897.
Each week Jerome wrote two or three pages, usually consisting of short paragraphs on a variety of topical issues. These were followed by one or two columns of “Answers to Enquirers.” While many of his editorial paragraphs commented on current newspaper reports, certain themes tend to recur with frequency. He was always indignant about cruelty to children or animals – especially the unfortunate horses that hauled London’s buses and other heavy traffic. Attempts by local authorities to legislate on matters of morals – particularly teetotalism – regularly drew his scornful comments. In his first few months, he assiduously promoted a race between Frank Shorland, the British 24 hour cycling champion and his French equivalent, and offered a substantial prize to the victor. However, the National Cyclists’ Union would not sanction the race, even though both contestants were willing, because Shorland was an amateur and the French cyclist was a professional. (Nowhere in Jerome’s many contentious columns on the subject does he mention that Shorland was his nephew).
He deplored the violence of strikes, and at this date was in favour of conscription (a position he reversed during the First World War). He made scathing comments on the Jameson raid and Cecil Rhodes’ policies. He applauded the Cretan fight for freedom from Turkish rule, and wrote so often and so strongly about Turkish atrocities against Armenians, that Sultan Abdul Hamid wrote to the Foreign Office demanding that he be required to desist and calling for an apology. In October 1896 Jerome described with obvious enjoyment his interview with Lord Salisbury, and his response to these demands.
