The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-24
A TEST OF MERIT.

The interviews with a number of the
most intelligent residents of the City, pub
lished in yesterdays CALL, concerning this
paper, are particularly gratifying as
proving the fact that the distinguishing
characteristics of the CALL are heartily
welcomed as benign innovation. These
peculiar features, as mentioned by the
persons interviewed. are as follows:
1.-The CALL has broken away from the
traditions of the daily press and is now
seeking the news through new channels.
The change, from news standpoint, is
an improvement" deputy Postmaster
Doyle.
81 have noted many Geographic items OF
interest to me that have not seen in the
other papers. l think with the increased
telegraph facilities which the United Press
gives the CALL it will distance its COM
petitors in foreign and domestic news."-
john 81. Wise, Collector of the Port.
II like the United Press kilograms.
There is snap in them that carries con-
viction. Louis Loupe, Deputy Collector
of Internal Revenue.
1.-THE CAIL's telegraphic news has i'm
proved. Internal Revenue Agent Nc.
Glachlin.
81 have noticed with great interest the
steady march of improvement In the
paper. "A. E. Pryor.
"With combination like the one 1t has
it ought to be the greatest newspaper
on the coast. "-Harbor Commissioner
Chadbourne.
1.-THE CALL has been printing more
Pacific Coast news than any other paper on
the coast, and with the New York Herald,
Sun, Times and Tribune to draw from for the
news of the world l should imagine that
in very short time it would be right in
the front ranks of journalism in the
United States. It's reputation for local
news is already established. &C. C. Bruce
81 have maintained right along that the
CALL was the peer if not the superior Of
any paper published in San Francisco. II
gives the news in just the shape that the
business man wants it, and to my mind
one of its greatest qualifications is its
cleanliness. No man need to be afraid to
take it home into his family. There is
never anything in it to offend a mans
sense of decency, and you can always find
the news in it."-Harbor Commissioner
Cole.
ats improved service since the new
management took hold and its generous
devotion to the affairs that interest the
people of the Pacific Coast are winning
friends for it daily. The determination of
the CALL to give space to the news of the
world in general and to the Pacific Coast
in particular, in preference to the unsavory
sensational stuff that is interesting to only
a small number of readers, will give the
paper the prestige when the public gets
done with trash. "-Congressman Hilborn.
These utterances have been selected
from many of a similar kind and
are introduced merely to give substance
to prevailing opinion. summary OF
them is this: First, the CALL gives the
best news service; second, it pays supe-
rior attention to the interest of California
and the Coast in general; third, it does
not give up its columns to degrading SEN
Sationalism.
Those who were interviewed might have
enumerated other points of excellence, but
as they did not we shall not discuss them,
depending fully upon the intelligence of
the community to observe and appreciate
them
