PRAISED
BY PROF. KENT
SAYS IT'S POWERFUL SOCIAL
FoRcE-PueLiciT AS CURE
FOR CORPORATE MisDolNGs.

Prof. c. A. Kent told the Business
Mems Bible class OF the First Con-
gregational church, Sunday noon. that
the modern newspaper Is a powerful
social force through publicity and the
almost instantaneous transmission OF
the days developments around the
world. Much Of the matter In the
daily press-sporting news. the print
ing Of the names and pictures OF un-
knows. etc-that seemed to him tri-
fling and silly, was attributable. he
supposed, to the vanities Of men and
women. Publishers were human, like
the rest of us. and were running their
papers for riches or fame. and aimed
OF give the people what they wanted.
This accounted for so much OF crime
and scandal In the press. Reform, the
speaker held, rested with the readers.
The paper could rise no higher than
the social state IL reports. He also de-
clared publicity TO be an effective
remedy for corporate misdoings.
Other speakers protested against the
prominent space given to murders In
the daily press, and one member
thought the press was given too much
attention. Very often the publisher
would not come In for very favorable
attention IL he relied upon his own
personality. yet his newspaper seems
to invest him with strange power.

GOOD ENTERTAINMENT
AT PURE FOOD SHOW

Nothing In the line Of an added at

each afternoon. There are four prizes
daily and then on Saturday the 20
winners will compete for the grand

The food show itself is more attrac-

more exhibits and the booths are far
more artistic In point OF construction
than any that have been seen in the

plenty OF entertainment. Effie Hem
