The New Josh.
To-day, under the auspices of Dewitt H.
Gray and James NJ. Oliver, will be pub
Ilshed Josh, in the interest of the uni
versitv men OF the Pacific Coast.
In appearance the new Josh is bright,
clean-looking and smart" In many re-
spects it recalls the attractive features of
New York Life. In policy it is apparently
conservatively aggressive. Its salutatory
runs IN this way:
Newspapers mold public opinion. so some
one has said. Poor, moldy Public Opintonl
they have told you that with this issue Josh
becomes lampoon OF the most lampoony
type; that henceforth Josh will cut and slash
without fear of God, man or the faculty
Nothing OF the sort. As for cutting and slash
all agree is the right direction; and for
fear-well, we have not really begun to trem-
Die as yet. But, most positively, we do not
seek an empty treasury, nor fifty-odd libel
suits. In the words of the country editors
first edition, ''we have come to STAY" and shall
remain just so long as you show your apprecia-
ton of the witty side of life. When that is
gone Josh wishes to die. Same to you.
There is a manifest intention to make the
paper newsy, as far as compatible with the
avoidance of trouble, and with that idea
even the opinion of the dailies is not
scorned by the management, which sub
mitted advance copies yesterday for mo
tice' in these columns Similarly the
sweet girl graduate is catered to, although
in critically superior style that is strictly
non-committal The editor will also en-
deavor to take the alumni into camp. He
says:
Among the new features of Josh which we
hope soon to introduce is series of letters
from the alumni throughout the State. There
is not one among us that would not enjoy hear
ing of Brown in Portland, Smith in Los Ange-
les and Jones in the interior. Their college
training still Influences their. actions, and
sometimes they do things really humorous.
Josh will let you judge ere long.
The illustrations are distinctly good and
the advertising patronage shows a faith
that is encouraging.
