The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1905-01-05
| NEWSPAPERS FROM
BONNIE SCOTLAND

The Glacier is in receipt Of some cop
les Of recent issues of Scotland newspa-
pers. One of the papers is the Glasgow
Herald, big blanket sheet, IA pages
with nine columns to the page, and the
columns, too, are wider than those OF
the Glacier. The Herald is now in its
l23d year. From appearances it is a
paying institution.
The Herald is very unlike American
papers OF today. American papers years
ago we're very similar in appearance to
the copy Of the Glasgow Herald, but
with the use of the telegraph and the
cable in collecting news, great change
has been brought about. There is a pa.
per in Baltimore that continues the old
style of placing the small ads on the
front page, but such papers in the Unit
ed States are scarce.
Every inch OF the space on the first
three big pages of the Glasgow Herald
is taken up with small ads; also the
last page. In fact all ads in the paper
are small ads. No display type are
allowed in the paper. The largest type
used is but little larger than the date
line at the top Of this page.
The issue at hand Is dated December
7, and contains the message of President
Roosevelt sent to congress the day be-
fore. There is also a column editorial
on the message, dealing principally
with the postponement Of the tariff is
sue. The Monroe doctrine comes in
for some remarks. The editor wants to
know where the policy will end if the
United States must be expected to act
as an international policeman IN every
case of wrong doing in the South Ameri-
can organizations.
One penny is the price Of the Glasgow
Herald.
Accompanying the Herald is copy
of the Workingman's guide, Vol. /, No.
2. The editor, Hugh Ferguson, is out
for the office Of alderman from the
Fourth ward He announces himself a
free lance, and bids for the support Of
the working men, knowing officialdom
to be against him.
Tne reading matter of the guide is
composed chiefly of signed editorials
on the topics of the day. One by the
editor speaks OF Carnegie's library gift
as "Motherwell's white elephant"
Here are some Of Editor Ferguson's 3
notes by the way;
There Eeems tae be gaun tae be some

Altho' | was at the Council meeting

The ratepayers prove that they hae
mair common sense than some credit

But Jamie, it was hardly fair o. the
Povost sittin on ye wi his castin' vote

Is that a the thanks ye get Tor helpln'

Scotland?-as Councillor wad say.
We think the Town Council are the
strangest crowd we ever met, not fools
so far as their own private business is
concerned, oh no but they don'o where
they are as regards the towns business.
When they get the drawing OF street
placed before them on paper, one would
think each born Solomon.
