ROBERTS TAKES HOPEFUL
VIEW OF NEW ENGLAND

Representative Ernest w. Roberts. Of
Massachusetts. who voiced 10 some
friends while in Washington recently
grave doubts about the chances Of Re
publican success in Massachusetts. takes
a more hopeful view for publication.
Mr.. Roberts arrived in Washington
Wednesday. and appeared 10 be much
concerned over the published statement
quoting him as predicting probable Dem
ocratic victory In Massachusetts, and the
defeat of Senator Lodge. Said Mr.
Roberts:
Like many other Republicans. a few
weeks ago l was inclined 10 be pessi-
mistic concerning election results. but a
change for the better has been noted
throughout New England within the last
week"

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN.

Mr.. GEORGE BATTEN,
who has added as much dignity
to the Advertising Profession as
any man in the country, recently
remarked:
Judging circulation by CHAR
ACTER rather than BY SIZE is
hopeful aspect Of PreSeHt-ddy
advertising.
"T'he use of this necessary
standard is Evidence that guess
5cork is giving place 10 practical
certainty. No quantity of map
PrObriGte circulation can make
mp for lack of character, any
more than surplus flesh can make
up for lack of brains"
1t is the duty of every publ
cation to give its readers some
thing that will be of benefit to
them. The news, of course, must
be printed, that is. ALL THE
NEWS THAT IS WORTH
PRINTING-but it must be
TRUSTWORTHY news-NOT
froth-NOT guesswork.
Editors tell me that the most
interesting articles that come to
their desks are those that ARE
NOT BASED ON FACT at all
or if there is any fact, it is
based on very slender thread.
Imaginative writers came to the
front when sensational journal
ism got a foothold in this coun-
try.
II is much more difficult to
print a RELIABLE NEWSPA-
PER than it is to print an unre-
liable one. Newspaper stories
that are fiction are much easier
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-10-07

to secure than stories based on
fact.
Honest editors and their CO.
workers have a hard time of it
sitting the wheat from the chaff.
They make mistakes, but in the
main they are doing a great work
they are UPLIFTING the
communities in which they work.
Their NEWS INTEGRITY
is beginning to meet its reward,
and advertisers who have been
buying ONLY QUANTITY or
circulation are beginning 10 ap-
preciate CHARACTER of circu-
lation.
In smaller cities there is more
attention paid to character than
there is in big cities.
In big centers of population it
is harder to maintain a high
standard, because the manner of
living does not help people to
feel grateful either for life or
their surroundings-their tastes
are not of the highest order
so 1t is easier for newspapers that
pander to discomfort to acquire
big circulations.
Newspapers that are forever
and forever doing their level best
to elevate are the newspapers,
after all, that carry the greatest
WEIGHT in the home and AD-
VERTISERS OF BUSINESS
PROBITY get their greatest re-
turns from them.
The other kind of newspapers
are bucket shops. But the buck
et-shop newspapers are in de-
cided minority in every COM
munity.
