Barre evening enterprise. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-1898, 1898-05-14
Still Another Victory.

g Unless man be preiudiced against tn
j. " II. ENTERPRISE" any intelligen
Z. citizen who has watched the columns O
!; TINS paper for the past few weeks, will
Il ADMIT that for reliable and prompt new
e service The Observation-Disclosures stand
r IN the lead in this city. Some time acc
: a rival paper published q slur at tn,
S Associated Press, in which an attemp
G was made to draw inference that ..bull
etln board specials" were more
F.. prompt and reliable than facts sent Out
oy the Associated Press. Recent events
nave proved the absurdity of any such
clam. The latest illustrated was the
was the important despatch contained in
our extra yesterday morning in which a
report was given of the bombardment
VI oah Juan by Simpsons fleet. For
several days the people of the country
nave been watching the wires to learn Of
thc movements of the fleet, and it re-
NAMED for the EVENING ENTERPRISE to
give the citizens of Barre the first re-
port OF the result of the bombardment
ms matter was received over the lonp
distance telephone at two O'Clock in the
lnoin.i'S' ana was at once put into type
ana furnished to the citizens of Barre
no other paper published in Barre gave
lhe puollc any information regarding the
san Juan assault until many hours after
the EVENING ENTERPRISE had been road
by several hundred people. Does this
not prove that Associated Press news
service can beat ''plate service snecio1s,,
ana "bulletn board extrasp" PERHAPS
New or k papers are not putting out
"mldnlght boards and this may be the
reason why some other "eXtras do NOT
make their appearance.
1t Is human nature when a rival beats
you at any game to say something con-
cernlng either that rival or the object of
.he dc1eat' and so it is no wonder that
instantly some of these managers of
"Extras circulate the false warn that ;
there Is no truth in the statement and
mat 1t is "fake.' TO those who think
Tor themselves this shows the best proof p,
OF defeat. This paper has not won a !
reputation for ''fakes." 1t will not issue 7
Extras on every wild rumor that floats =
over the wires. Even those who are
SLOW to recognize the worth of the EVEN r.
ING ENTERPRISE admit that it has already
e"lheo a reputation for authenticity :
'qualed by no rival paper. Our bull u
Guns received after we 90 to Dress if y
worth an Extra are published and if l"

hem. But the news service of tbe B
EVENING ENTERrMsE' enables lis to to
'sue reliable Extras more promptly b
