, forth the following comments from
the other members of the Press Clut
last week.
/. The Soda Springs Chieftain copied
what the Post said and added:
The above fits the case better thar
a kid glove. The Cheiftain got the
supplement and has mailed its check
in payment. but we refuse to be taken
In again with any such dope. Future
supplements will have to be more rep.
resentative or we will pass them up"
The Ashton Enterprise
The Idaho Falls Post takes excep-
tons to the circulating of the press
supplement, the same as we print
after each meeting of the Press club
and think that 1t is not interesting to
our readers. We think that they are
on In this and that the majority OF
our readers are anxious to learn all
they can about Idaho, no matter what
part OF the state Is advertised. or
course we here, In the southern part
would like to see this section adver-
ttsed the most, but we feel, neverthe-
less that whatever part Of the state is
boosted that 1t helps the whole state
In general as well as that particular
section. Mr.. Sumner says that II was
lot OF gush that was spoken at the
banquet but we notice that that Is
about the same kind Of dope he boosts
Idaho Falls with when he has any
thing to say for the good Of the town.
Thee Gooding Leader has the fol-
lowing to say:
DlSCOVERED-AND EXPOSED
The Idaho Falls Post has carefully
analysed the internal mechanism OF
the recent supplement issued by the
Idaho Press Club after it's Gooding
meeting May 8 and 10 and published
from the Leader Office. 1t has the
Following remarks to make which in
dicate an acute analytic mind on the
part of the Post:
"A supplement was sent out under
the authority of the Eastern Idaho
Press Club, and purporting to be
record Of the proceedings of the or
ganization. As a proposition of re-
cord or a matter of history OF the de-
liberations OF the club, including the
actual attendance of the members.
and other things OF import, II was a
measly failure, and those individuals
who gave It circulation and paid for
y were easy biters--and by the way
those who were gulible enough to
put up for the dissemination of lot
d gush spoken at q BANQUET were
he only ones whose names were
mentioned in the sheet that purported
Q be an accurate record OF the club,
is membership and work. Most
'apers would gladly distribute infor-
nation for the benefit OF any town.
tut the general bulk of banquet hog
rash isn't acceptable even at space
ates, and this Is not said In detri-
lent to the worthy efforts OF those
rho said good things at the banquet.
Or while those speeches interested
lembers OF the press, they are OF no
lore interest to the public than a
lack hair would be to a Bannock
uck."
The Leader editor recognized the
'ct when he undertook to issue the
Implement that he was handicapped
certain limitations which might
iDJect him to public criticism. He
as limited both In regard to ability
az the amount of space to be used.
ne space was limited to pages OF
columns each and there was enough
aterial contributed as volunteer
ank Offering from various members
the club to have filled "a pages
I'd the editor Of the Post was not
EN- heard from on that score.
In the selection OF material for
Q supplement there was absolutely
limit to the things that might
we been said. Had he called to his
sistance the editor of the Post he
ould have doubtless recognized the
ct that the Cooling Commercial
I'd made a great mistake In not
esenting the Press Club with the
tomobiles In which they were taxi
about the city. He might have
lticised the members of the club
10 wore just plain business suits
the banquet and then insisted upon
ing their sleeves for a napkin and
sh1ng to appropriate the table lin
as souvenirs. He might also have
ticised the members of the club
not carrying of the beautiful sill
service Of the Lincoln as SOU
Mrs. But as stated above the edi-
was handicapped by certain linn
tons Of talent and ability and re-
overlooked large number of
IN instances as the above as of
re minor importance until his at
lti0n was called to the error by
Post. 1t must be mighty salts
tory to the Post TO possess an in
lect 80 keen Of edge and so analy-
In Its nature and the Eastern
no Press Club should feel thank
In the proper ratio for its pres
70. For many moons the atten-
OF the Leader has been called to
rilliant red spot in the sky towards
direction Of Idaho Falls which APP
red like rising moon just below
vison and until now no satisfac-
Y explanation has been reached
arding Its source. 1t must be fine
lave such brilliant intellect.
