Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1907-02-16
THE BEST NEWSPAPER.

II has become quite the fashion for
certain newspapers over the tinted
states to blow their own horns as
to- their superiority over all others.
Sometimes the blare Is made in double
loaded editorial utterance- which may
or may not have facts behind them.
Now and then. black type, heavy
bordered, big-headcd, front page dis
plays are brought into requisition.
However. the simple claim to being
the "best newspaper" does not prove
the right to the title.
The Descret News does not contend
that 1t Is tho best newspaper published
in the world. but II does affirm. and
that most earnestly. that II Is being
made as nearly ideal as its ownership
and management can make It, Its
business IS on sound and paying
basis. Its news service Is IN every
way first class. Teleeraphlcaily It is
served by the largest and best organ
igatlon ever Formed for the dissem-
nation VI news Locally it covers the
field and publishes the detailed events
of the day twelve 10 fourteen hours
ahead af any Of It's contemporaries.
The color of conservation, and ahso-
lutte accuracy of statement. so far
as that Is possible IN the work OF nasty
news gathering. Is found in all OF it's
chronicled happenings and forecasts
It's special articles and news from the
old world capitals come from first
class, high priced, able and distin-
gushed correspondents. In political
matters II is unwarned by bias, and
educational mon concede Its recogniz-
ed excellence in lines Of learning and
reviews are concededly the strongest
IN the state. It prints the only music
page worthy the name. It's halftones
are the wonder Of the publishing pro-
fesslon. No other local paper pre-
tends to give its readers n regular and
rp-to-date literary page. In the bust
ness mining and commercial field, its
news is always regarded as reliable,
and sought for accordingly, That
part OF the public which Is interested
particularly in railroad affairs has
long looked upon the News" as lead
ing the journalistic procession here
abouts, And rs To the interests Of the
tiller of the soil and the livestock man
he Is fully aware that In the columns
OF this paper Is the Information he
most needs and wants.
To the parents who are anxious for
the purity of their homes. and who
would have the morally sickening and
details OF sensational cases
like that of the Thaw-W White murder
trial, kept out of the family circle, the
News" appeals particularly, And in
this connection. 1t is worth repeating.
that this was the only newspaper in
Salt Lake that censored and suppress
ed the worst features of that shock
ing case Whisky and divers quack
nostrum ads that other newspapers
publish without question. are con-
stantly being offered to and refused
by the News"
Again We say the Deseret News may
not he the BEST newspaper in the
world, but it Is being made JUST AS
GOOD AS .uP-TO- DATE ENTER
PRISE AND MANAGEMENT can
make 1t, a fact that the public thor
oughly appreciates as proved by IFS
liberal ana constantly increasing pat
ronage.
some time ago Printers Ink made
the observation that the evening news
paper had arrived" This, II taken
TO mean that 1t has established its gu
premacy over the morning paper, Is
strictly true.
several circumstances have contrib
uted 10 bring about this result. Modern
inventions that facilitate the transmits
sion OF news make IT possible for tho
evening press to print the news from
all over the world the same day tho
events take place. with the exception
of that which transplres late in the af.
ternoon and at night The very reyo-
luton OF the earth aids the evenIn,
press since the difference IN time Is
IN favor Of 1t. When The last edition
of the evening paper is out. Very little
news from abroad remains for the
morning paper to tell, though II may
print tho old story In new form ar
at greater length,
The morning paper necessarily has
more limited circle Of readers. rho
entire working class goes to it's various
daily duiios without reading the morn
ing paper There is no time for mat
for the laborsr who must start vorl,
at an early hour He must necessarily
wait till the evening for his paper. The
niler-supper hour Is the leisure hour
with a great many OF those who read
the news, and the advertisements.
For these, and many other reasons I,
Is true that the evening paper has
arrived" 1t IL the paper OF the peo-
pie and every new Invention that has
any bearing u.tn the transmission OF
news Is AN aid 10 It's success
