The record-union., 1896-01-08
A NEWS JOURNAL.


The Record Union" is not given to
boasting, but it is simple business wis
dom to occasionally call attention spe-
officially to the great amount of news
matter published by this journal and
to its variety and its address to all
clean tastes. The simple fact is that the
news of the Record Union" come
through the very best news gathering
agencies in the world, and cover a
broader range of topics and countries
than is embraced by any other news
medium.
The readers of this paper are accus-
toned to finding in it succinct news of
general character and first interest,
and intimate relation to the worlds ac-
tivities, without employment of SEN
sational and inf1amed methods and a
neuralgia display of head lines that
more frequently than not give promise
without performance. The system of
the "Record-Union' is to present the
best and most important news possible
to be gathered, in such form as will
fairly indicate it's character in head
lines, and yet not sacrifice valuable
space to mere exclamation points and
extended heads.
AS a matter of course, great deal Of
news report that comes over the wires
is not used by any paper, since there is
much of Indifferent news sent and mat
ter that is not of general concern nor of
interest to the people of the Pacific
Coast.
In the matter of local news, the Rec
ord-Union" treats happenings, events,
personal affairs and city, county, court
and Capitol news with great fullness,
covering every important news feature
1t realizes. as must any intelligent news
vendor, that there are many demands
made by reading public, and that the
simplest and apparently most inconse-
quential item may have specific and
lively interest for someone.
The Record Union" believes in treat
ing the matters which concern all the
the city, the county and the State and
the economy of government, with all
the fullness that is possible to its col
umns, and with less elaborateness the
transient, fugitive and routine doings of
each day.
Yesterday morning. for instance,
while the lesser events of the day pre-
ceding were treated that were worthy
accounts of the proceedings before the
State Board of Education, which was
engaged in most important delibera-
ton; full reports of the proceedings in
the change of city administration, in
the executive. the legislative and edu-
eational departments; all the worthy
news events in and about the courts,
the State Capitol and the State depart
ments; the Chamber of Commerce, thea
ters, clubs and associations, weather
service, hotels, and so on; in all, many
columns of news of State and local in
terest. Yet there was no prominence
given to inconsequential matters, no
waste of space in flaming head lines, no
infiammatory or explanatory type dis
plays, or other trick devices to give an
appearance of great Importance and as
tonishing diligence in news gathering.
These numerous columns Of local
matter, embracing full official reports,
succinct and accurate accounts of pro-
ceedings by public bodies and items of
happenings and events did not crowd
the telegraphic news out, nor prevent
the presentation of the compact news
from Europe, Africa, Cuba and the
great East.
The Record Union" is essentially a
news journal as well as a critical one,
treating all public matters from an ele-
waited standpoint, with the purpose of
Justice, fairness and truth constantly
in view and generally laboring for the
best interests of all the people and
their government, without sensational
ism or catering to morbid tastes.
