THE UNITED PRESS AND THE EVENING:
NEWSPAPERS
Harvey Scott has been (or years one j
of the big voices lo the councils of the
Associated Press. He has thereby
been able to control the fran
chise in the city of Portland -to keep
the franchise exclusive? and thereby
to hold a rich and populous territory
for the exploitation of the Oregonian. ,
When, wherefore, Mr. Scoit editorially
pays tribute to an opposition news
service, declares that news service to |
be superior to that of the association I
which has been the ,me?ns of building
up his fortune and prestige, the old as- j
scc-ation must have oome to a pretty
poor pass. |
There have been several disastrous |
and expensive attempts to buck the
Associated Press, in which Mr. Scott
has fought valiantly for the old organ
ization? notably In the long engage-'
ment with the Postal with Mr. Mack
ey's millioos back of it. The United
Press is an evening newspaper service
and has made a strong record In recent ,
years? recent months. It Is an evening j
newspaper service-does not undertake
the morning Held. Leaving aside,
therefore its d stinctive scoops in the
general field of world news, the at
tempt It has made and is making to ,
Bive an effective afternoon service is a
thing to be generally supported with
enthusiasm. For the Associated Press,
especially In the west, has neglected
the afternoon field. The afternoon
newspaper has been stesdlly growing
In favor for many years all over the
country. Especially has this been true
in the wes*. With from three to four
hours the advantige in the matter of
time it should be the great purveyor of
news. Well served telegraphically the
evening paper on ths Pacific coast
snouid oe able to go to piess at four
o'cock containing a record of the en
tire days happenings up to six o'clock
in New York or Washington. This the
United Press Is enabling It to do. W here
tts the evening newspaper is the past
Das been made up largely of a rehash of
the morning paper the reverse of that
condition should and will obtsin. lhe
numb.-r of customers for Its services
must, of course, prove the factor in
this condition. With the incre.se of
population oa the coast offering a field
for their exploitation, it is certainly the
de-itioy of the afternoon newspaper to
become a great purveyor of news, lay
ing on tne evening dinner table that
c mplete history of the day's doings
that formerly was reserved for the
hurried scanning at the breakfast
table of a lot of headlines that serves
for a perusal of the news. The United
Press is the institution that promises
to bicorne the agent of bringing about
this desired consummation.
BEWARE THE MAIL ORDER MAN
This is the blithesome season of the
mull order maa who loads the mall
bags coming this way with bis artful
enticements to commit jour money to
bis care while he send* you in return 1
what he thinks is best for you to have. '
The mail order man Is a most versatile
genius. Be has taste to fit an infinite
vuriety of subjects. He can thrive only I
oo a vast number of customers for '
his expenses milling clerks and
postage could not bo otherwise met
But he is ready to serve each and all
with Individual consideration, Qttlcg
the purchase to the color of the oyee of
every new app'icant for his long 1
distsnce service. You purchase by |
numbor and engraved design and give
up your gold? which his the same
complexion and quality the country
over ? for what the man at the other
chooses to send. The mall order man
Is one of great experience and cultlv&t ? 1
ed arts, but experience with him is'
wearing on the nerves to the man at
the other eml of the deal.
The thins: to do is to make your pur- 1
chase, gentle reader, where you can
see and handle the good* before you
l?lve up the coin. Tul> Is the practlcu
view from every standpoint ? but
especially so from that of getting your
money's worth, which is tlie one that
appeal*. But for every consideration
of publio policy the thine to dc is to
patronize the merchant who itves here
and pavs rent and Uses and goes to
make up a part of the economy of the
community, helping to carry the
burden and adding to the life of the
home town.
SPEED THE NEW ADMINI5TAAM
We start away this mo ning with a
new order of things. Mr Chris Shea is
mayor of Skagwav, succeeding Mr. Coii
way or, perhaps more properly, Mr.
Nettles. Mr. Matthew Bridge is suc
ceeded as city clerk by Mr. K. J. Doh
erty, Mr. William Brltt as treasurer
by Mrs. M. H. MoLellan. Matt Sun
deen by George Dillon as chief of police
and Mr. Dillon's place as street com
missioner is filled by r. Frank Pago.
A seporate officer its assessor is to be
named. Dr. iirawand as health officer
and J. M. Tanner as police magistrate
will serve again.
To the victors belong the spoils and
all Skagway wishes the new regime
may prove the best the city has 6ver
known. The Alaskan stands ready to
lend Its aid in every measure for the
public weal? as will every good citizen.
Speed the new administration.
We are left to guess that Tam
many has swallowed the wjiole party
since the donkey is to be replaced on
the r'.emocratic standard by the tiger.
How are you betting now on the auto
mobile race? Odds on the American
riding first into the Champs Elysees
after all.
