CNNFIDENCE VITAL
FACTOR IN SUCCESS
BY WILLIAM c. FREEMAN,

My old friend Victor II, Hanson,
publisher Of the Birmingham News,
was recently banqueted by over 100
representatives of the big business In
terosts in his home city because Of
the work that he and his paper have
done and are doing for the community,
Mr. Hanson made a hoartto-heart,
wholesome speech on this occasion,
treating Of newspaper making gener'
ally-the duties and responsibilities
of the editor and publisher, and then
had this to say about Advertising
Advertising In a good newspaper Is
profitable advertising, II you have
something to sell you can go to Job
printer and have a lot Of bills struck
Off and distribute them around town
That is advertising in the crude state,
Put the same matter in any kind OF
newspaper and that Is advertising In
more advanced and effective form In
scrt the same copy n a newspaper
that goes into the home, with a hold
upon the affections Of the family cir.
Gle, and that Is ADVERTISING IN
THE HIGHEST STATE,
As time goes on and the confidence
and esteem Of the reader attach them
selves to the paper THE HABIT OF
READING THE ADVERTISEMENTS
in that paper becomes fixed and an
advertising medium Is established
The subtle forces that enter into
the establishment Of paper as a pa
per In which ads are read are perfect
ly well recognized IN the newspaper
Business, It Is not necessary every
time you stand up for the right In
your newspaper to pollute your action
with the thought that you are going to
get paid for It in the long run, II Is
enough to have q serene conviction
that If YOU RUN YOUR PAPER
RIGHT AND GIVE THE PUBLIC A
SQUARE DEAL the counungroom
viii take care Of Itself
And he said this other thing about
newspapers.
THE CONFIDENCE or THE
READER rs A VITAL FACTOR IN
NEWSPAPER SUCCESS, regard
the intelligent and faithful perform
anco Of the primary function Of pub
fishing the news as 90 per cent Of the
whole profession or science. Of news
paper publishing Accuracy and a
sense Of proportion and responsibility
belong to this item, think that one
Of the greatest injuries suffered by
modern journalism comes to II
through lack Of full sense Of the re.
sponsibilIty that there Is upon the
newspaper and the newspaper man.
Mr. Hanson Is determined that HIS
newspaper shall stand for news that
Ia rolablo and the printing Of Ndyer'
tIsomonts that can be believed in,
From reports that come to me
about The Birmingham News, II Is
forging to the front rapidly because
OF the practice Of rs ideals The aver
age newspaper publisher Is giving
moro serious thought than he ever
did 10 the responsibility placed upon
him, 30 far 0s The publication Of a

will feel downcast over the unartistic
picture that MIR. Dickens frames. our
ladies are accustomed to reduce their

MOSCOW HEADQUARTERS
FOR PAVING CONCERN

any paving contracts the company Sc
cures in this state will be handled from
this city
In keeping with this same plan C. j.
Orland has been appointed resident at
torney, and will also have general su-
pervision of the company's legal affairs
in this state.
The Bitu-Mass concern is a Spokane
enterprise and draws its capital from
the Inland Empire. 1t has not only
been strong competitor for paving
contracts in its own city, but has Sc
cured several contracts upon the prin-
cipal streets of Spokane. 1t expects to
enter into active competition for the
paving business in this state and the
fact that it has chosen this city as it's
headquarters and the well known
Thompson Bros. firm as underwriters
means that an important industry has
been added to our local concerns.
