news service ever delivered In New Eng
land; that, passing by local and minor or
CARNATIONS. 1t had obtained stockholdinS
membership in the Associated Press, the
most powerful news collecting system in
the world; and that, by means of a special

the news service which the Journal OBJ
talnS could be possible than comparison
of the news columns of the Sunday Journal
with those of the otner Sunday papers
Exclusives were the rule of the day, and
from all parts of the country came inter
esung and valuable Information which was
to be found in no other Boston paper"
BRIDGEPORT. Conn, May 1s.-The
bridgeport Evening Post will say editorial

Commencing today, the Post is furnish
ed with Geographic news by the greatest

every foreign country. 1t is the strongest
news association in the United States and
numbers over thousand newspapers as
members and customers, from Florida to
Maine, and from Maine to California
for over three months, and has not been
made without careful and painstakfng in
Vesugatlon. The Associated Press has
proved It's superiority beyond question
nile in the past the news reports of the
Post have been good, the progressive poli-
cy pursued by this paper has demanded
more extensive, exhaustive and powerful

obtainable service, and is thus made far
more valuable to its readers

WoONSoCKET. R. l., May 1s.-The Call
will say editoriaIly today:
Inc change of the Boston Journal and
other influential New England papers from
the United Press to the Associated Press
are events of more than ordinary moment
For years the Boston Journal was a leader
IN the United Press. and Mr.. O'Meara of
the Journal was the treasurer of the New
England branch Of the concern. Now he
changes to the Associated Press for the
aVoWed good and sufficient reason that the
Associated Press is a superior news organ
iZation.
1t has been the custom of the United
Press to pretend to look with a superior
AR upon the Associated Press, and to han
dlcap and belittle its clients and its per
formances. Things are changing. The
stone that was rejected has become the
head of the corner.
In this city the Call is the only news
paper served by the Associated Press. Our
readers have the full day service of this
superb news organization served to them
