Exposition and Transportation.

While the public is largely entit-
led to all the information it can OBJ
tain of the great jamestown expo
sition to be held this year, yet 1t is
a fact that newspapers make a sac
rifice to accommodate the public in
this particular. 1t is sacrifice that
benefits the railroads of the country
many times more than 1t does the
newspapers. There are but two
ways, in which it can benefit the
newspapers. One way is the giving
of the information to the public, the
public thus buying the papers, but
merely the jamestown exposition
news returns in the matter of sell
ing papers do not really justify the
space given. The other benefit is
that editors of newspapers VIII ne
given free admission to the grounds
for limited time. They will be ac-
corded no other courtesies. The
newspapers get no cash considera-
ton. whatever, nothing with which
to defray even the expense of setting
up the exposition matter.
The railroads are largely the
benefciaries OF this free advertising.
The newspapers get their readers IN
terested in the great exposition and
they travel by rail in throngs Of
thousands to jamestown. They
would not do SO, If the exposition
were not advertised by the newspa-
pers. True. the exposition gets re-
turns, but not like the railroads.
Again, the great importance to the
country as whole such an EXPOSE
tion is takes the exposition out of the
selfish class of the railroads under
the present system of transportation
charges. ------"~
) This subject is ably and clearly
treated by Mr. A L. Sutton, chief Of
exploitation OF the exposition, in the
following letter to the Telegram:
Recently this department took the
initiative In d campaign, having Tor
its purpose the securing Of al amend
meat to the new Interstate Com
tnerce Law. or of favorable ruling
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, so that railroads might be per-
mltted to pay for advertising with
transportation, and the subject mat
ter Of this letter Is an appeal to all
newspapers and newspaper men to
use their personal influence, and the
influence OF their papers, with their
Congressman and Senator'S, to bring
about the change so much desired by
those interested.
Since the adverse ruling of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, the
sentiment among newspaper men has
been that the ruling was unjust, and
that 1t infringed upon the right Of
contract. Since this department has
taken up the matter, l have received
letters from almost every press and
publishers association in the United
States. and, without exception, find
that newspaper men desire restora-
ton of the old arrangement, and
this desire is based upon the best
possible reasons.
Being a practical newspaper man
myself, I can appreciate how the
editor at his desk feels in regard to
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's ruling, and in my position as
chief OF exploitation-being In touch
with the entire press of the country
- believe I have a better under
standing of the drift of sentiment
than most people interested in this
matter. OF course. my immediate

and it may yet be impressed on both
branches of Congress that 1t is a
dangerous thing to monkey with the

the members will all recall some his
tory in this connection and the un-
popularity of the movement with the
ever-after disastrous effect to those
who engaged in that movement.

PLAYA DEL REY, Aug. 21-Sea trout
are making the best sport of the season

trout refuses to accept any bait less
dainty.
Anglers here employ the device of
stringing numerous Japanese flies on
their line, and in this way succeed in
getting a strike from big trout almost
every time they catch a sardine.
Twenty-six auto parties made the run
this morning from Los Angeles to Playa
del Rey for the high-class trout sport.
and the beach was merry with crowds OF
bathers.
