j. W. Raymond, President Bank of
Commerce-Can'ts suggest any improve
ment just now. The GLOBE is thor
oughly up with the times, and the Sum
day paper l never miss.
G. L. SpIoat, Secretary American
Building and Loan Association-A great
Improvement could be made in our
dailies-and the GLOBE with the others
by condensing the news matter. The
same information could and should be
put in smaller space.
Judge William HollinS-I find the
same fault with the GLOBE that do
with the rest of the papers here. They
do not contain enough local news. AS
newspaper the GLOBE stands at the
head.
E. A. Campbell-The GLOBE is the
best newspaper in the Northwest, and L
have no improvements to suggest.
Thomas Canty-The GLOBE is little
better than any Democratic paper [
know of, and has been very fair in its
treatment of all matters. In the past it
has made the same mistake that other
papers have-that cf using too much
buncombe. 1t would be an improvement
if all that were dropped.
Deputy Register of Deeds Plummer-
When tell you have taken the paper
In preference to other sheets for some
ten years past you can see what think
of it. You could not make any i'm
provement in its style or the quantity
and quality Of the news.
Judge William Lochren-While [ am
not newspaper man, it seems to me
that the GLOBE is all right at the pres
ent. There are no changes necessary
that | can see.
Freeman p. Lane-The GLOBE could
be improved, first, by advocating the
principles of the grand Old Republican
party, and second, by emitting large
number of the sensational articles
which now find place i'll its columns.
While such articles are very entertain,
ing reading for men of the world, like
myself for instance. yet the generaE
tone of the paper could be improved in
that regard for family PURPOSES On
the whole, however, the GLOBE is an
admirable newspaper.
L. f. Davjs-While l differ from the
GLOBE politically, must say that it is.
the best PAPER in the Northwest, and
contains the best reports of all kinds.i
As disintereSted party, l can suggest
ilO tiiC PoPG1' IL ID
good enough now.
Capt. c. B. Tirrell-The only thing
wrong about the paper is its policy. Its,
reports are fairer than those Of other,
papers.
Judge John P. Real am we'll pleased
with the GLOBE, and do not like to pick
out that one paper to critlcise. 1t seems
to me that ali the papers in the country
make a great mistake in printing so
much 'srot," | believe you call 1t, about
sensational matters. If all the disgust
ing particulars of every hanging, every
murder. suicide and divorce case were
eliminated from the papers you would
find that we would have much better
state of society. Another trouble with
all the papers is that the genuine news
is not boiled down enough.
City Attorney Russell-The GLOBE
has abomnible politics. but it is first
class newspaper in all other respects.
If Iwere going to find fault with it, l
would have to find fault with every
other paper in the city, and the thing
that would find fault with Is that its
local scope is not large enough. The
other papers are troubled the same way,
only more so.
Mr.. Smith, of F. Fl. Peterson & Co..
