ISOLATED Press severed connections be-
cause the latter would not agree to
adopt the monopoly tactics proposed by
the former and refused to consent to n
policy whose object was to kill of tho
smaller newspapers and give fow in
each section OF tho country control OF
the news service, the U. p. made the
greatest mistake OF its life.
u did at one time give q fairly good
news service. Now il is lot lin IT"
ana its service is practically worthless.
This is the result OF its attempt to force
the policy Of contracting the news ser
vice OF the country in order to create a
great money-making monopoly for a
few OF the big fish, which were to swal-
low the little ones or freeze them out, sac
rihcing good service for money. This was
not the policy Of the Associated Press,
which sought to make money by giving
"a much news as possible, ana by ex-
tending its service as far as possible.
So the two associations severed their
connection.
Since then the Associated Press has
gained the following prominent papers:
Ia New York, the ITorld, Ercning
World, EUclliHg Post, Adrcrtivcr, COM
mcrcial Advertiser, both editions Of the
stats ZcH,na, and the Press; in Brook
Ign, the Eagle; in Philadelphia, the
Press, Times, North Am9ricau, Eu-
qutrcr, Telegram, BuNcfn, and the
German Democrats in Buffalo,
the Nc,rs. Express and Commercial: lin
Chicago the Eric Press. Others are the
Boston TrdrcLcr, Rochester Hcrdid, Bal

ington star Syracuse Herald, Louis-
vile Post, Worcester SDg, Lewiston.

tciiiycnccr and the Examiner, Kansas
City star and many others all over
the country.
In addition to these important aces
sions tho Associated Press has i'm
proved its foreign service vastly and In
London has the privilege OF using all
the proofs OF the London Times.
The United Press over-reached itself
tho usual result OF greed. II has lost
about all IL ever had and its loss has
been the gain OF the Associated Press,
whose service has been extended i'm
mensely. 1t is now beyond any doubt
and by long odds, the greatest news.

This has been demonstrated number

ISOLATED Press is always first among the
news associations to give the news aud
the fullest and best report. This has
never been demonstrated more thor
ouQhly than 10 the report Of the Cor
BEIr-MTCuEIL fight. 10 was q big
job and was zone under great dim
cuities, but the Associated Press
accomplished it and the BEGIsrEn
published over page OF solid telegraph
matter containing all the details OF the
fight while The United Press had but
bare outline, padded" at that. Even
the patent inside" country press beat
United Press papers and published
better account OF the fight on the same
day.
