BALTIMORE, Feb. IT, The American
says:
" Unquestionably the most important
assemblage of newspaper publishers and
editors that ever took place in this
country was the meeting i'm Chicago
this week OF The Associated Press, OF

hundred of the leading daiiies OF the
country were represented, and the great
est collecting association in the
world was not only made hnpregnable in
itself, but creator and wider in It's reach
and labor.
Prompt and accurate news reports are
the basis and substance OF all Journalism.
No one newspaper can stand the enormous
seNpense OF singly collecting the news OF
the world, because il would mean an
expenditure OF from two to
five million dollars annually.
but by combining, the leading
newspapers cnn get service that in all
truthfuiness viii report of the world
events. Moreover ,hy the other newspa-
pers and all parties Asspciating themselves
together perfectly far, impartial, nom
partisan service is served and the demand
of the public for facts accurately and
moderately stated Ia met.
The Associated Press Is organized on
the only trne principle. lt is cooperative;
il is mutual; % is not run 10

best possible news service that
money, experience and efficiency can pro-
duce. The readers OF the American are
