/ women, nor tide ministers, nor the
tradesmen, not the brewers, but the
people Their motto is The greatest
news for the greatest number They
work for the interests Of all, and if We
have news, that many people will be
glad to hear, on the wire ii goes, and it
is read at the breakfast table in every
city in the land. Go to the editorial
sanctum OF a metropolitan daily with
your story; if it is news the eyes of the
editor brighten, the cabalistic marks go
on to the manuscript, and you depart
followed by the gratitude Of thee ditor.
Much is forgiven of inefficiency and poor
arrangement if it Is news. If your sto-
ry has no merit of freshness or local
spirit, money could not buy space in the
local column for il. There Is no union
in our country but what is planning and
doing work which makes that town or
city better; what you are doing is what
the papers want, send Il to them, or let
them know where TO go for IL, and it is
gladly used, but your sentimental rhap-
Sodies, detailed accounts Of unimportant
meetings, they will have none OF. Be
alive and at work and the papers are
after your stories. Let US Danish the
sentimental and push forward the prac-
teal, so shall We succeed. There is no
such thing as a friendly or unfriendly
press; the press is wholly impartial; all
it wants is news. Cultivate the jor-
naHstic instinct in yourselves, the in
stinct to recognize the value Of news,
and the wisdom to rightly place it. We
are noted for being the best advertised
society in the country; let US keep up to
our reputation. Do good work that
makes news, and be sure and see to it
that the stories Of your doings are given
TO the world for it will overcome much
OF evil and raise the standard Of our
people to higher planes Of purity and
righteousness.
