Mr.. Rogers said he was firmly con-
WINGED that more newspaper money
has been squandered chasing the il
lusive god representing news than
would have made four or five times
the success in securing the sort of
features and special articles any
community wants
we all get 1t through routine
channels and correspondents +" he said.
The point IS that the mere presen-
taton of the news, with the expeC-
fancy OF growth and profit, is not
enough for present day success with
the greatest profit The newspapers
which have made most Roadway dur
ing recent times have given the peo-
pie what they want in the way of
light entertainment, inestresting in
formation and complete summary
Of the news.
Truth and honesty in advertising

said Mr. Rogers. Hardly a day

queries from newspaper publishers

the application OF the same rule Of
reason that they apply to their edi-
