letter was as follows:
Washington, May q. 1914.
Mr.. Merle Thorpe,
University Of Kansas.
Lawrence Kans.s
Dear Mr.. Thorpe:
1t Is n matter of sincere regret ~
me- that I cannot be present at what
| am sure will prove TO be a most in
teresting and profitable conference.
You ask NE, inasmuch as cannot
be with You in person, to- write you
my views on the question you are to
discuss today and this am glad to do
though am not at all sure that l cor
rcctly understand the meaning Of the
question. "A
AS you give 1t to me It is divided
into two Parts:
!: list. To what extent is a member
of, press association entitled to a
monopoly Of news in community?
My answer to this is that no mem
her of any press association can I'M
der any conceivable set of conditions
be entitled" to a monopoly OF news
in community. t
The question answers itself.
AS matter OF fact no such mo-
nopoly. exists and as an equal matter
OF fact no such monopoly could exist.
The news Of the world like the
news Of the vicinity is open to all.
1t is utterly impossible to mo-
nopolize II. /
If the question is intended to read
ITO what extent is member of:
press association entitled to monopoly
lin a community of news gathered by
the association of which II is n men,,

dividual who took part in the forma-

Our desire was to form "a co-oFera-
tive association Of representatives Of

Ivy which we could exchange news
with each other and jointly collect
news for our common use.
We conceive that we have an en-
tire right morally and legally to DO
this, iustpas much right as pape:'I

Irwin is.toi speak on this subject.
K ] greatly regret that 1 will not
have the pleasure of hearing him
II only for the purpose OF correcting
some OF his misapprehcnsions as
shown in recent article that ap-
peared in Harper's Weekly.
am sure. however, that Mr.. IT.
win will forgive me IL i take this op.
poftunity Of pointing out to him
where he is in error-at least from
my point Of view.
Il First-The success that was made
cf The Associated Press of Illinois
under the leadership of Victor \.
Lawson and Melville E. Stone was
not atsall due to any marked supe-
rlority in news gathering.
II was due to determination that
go far as TIE members of that asso-
citation were concerned their news
service should not be controlled by a
Private owners 'p-tl,at it should In
fact be gathered ar and by the news
papers and contN ed by them AMI
non-profit making \ ! this is true OF
the present organizes. N. and is Its
basic principe.
Second--Mr. Irwin states that most
of the members of The Associated
T'ress hold what is known as rights
Of protest" He is mistakcn-only d
small fraction of the members hold
such rights.
Third-Mr. Irwin falls into not
surprising error, though 1t is rather
surprising. that writing US suppos-
ed expert he should base an indict-
lnent on that error by asserting that
the bond vote has controlled the cleo
tion of the board of directors-as he
picturesquely put 1t "the old crowd
hold absolutely and perpetual con-
troll. Nothing has even SO much as
Shaken that CONTROL"
Very picturesque and very untrue.
r
I suppose that am in position
TO know as much about the affairs Of
The Associated Press as Mr.. Irwin. y.
My belief is that the result of no
election would have been different If
the bond vote had been entirely elm
mated. G8
This is because no issue has been
presented where the interests of the
more important papers who carry tho
burdens of the assessments have cotu;
into conflict with the smaller papers.
As 4 matter Of fact when there
lave been contested elections the
bond vote has been split up Just as
:he membership vote has. I.
At the annual meeting Of the asso!
citation held on April 21st, because Of
this assertion by Mr.. Irwin, re-
quested (as had been rcnominated
as a directory that a report be made
by the tellers Of the vote by member
shop, excluding the bond vote as it
It was true that was not the choice
of the membership and was maintain
ed In office by the bond vote when
no issue existed between the larger
and smaller papers should be given
food for serious thought. n ~
The report of the balloting was as
follows, arranged according to the
yote. F#Gta

Things Working Girls

| Bradley. father Of the young girl who
| has created wide interest in the Mobile
| white slave case. says among other
| things:
Parents should teach their girls the
fundamentals Of life before allowing
them TO take a mans chance in q
mans world.
1t is a heartbroken fathers prayer
that other girls will read it and learn
the true significance of my daughter
misfortune.
II girls would seek their mothers
arms when temptation is heard, there
would be fewer darkened homes like
mine, fewer pitfa-ll victims like my
Delilah. --
Parents are every day making per-
sonal sacrifices to provide funds to
give their girls training to equip them
selves for entering the business world
to cope with the hard and perplexing
business problems and today the bust
ness woman is occupying a sphere
which merit alone secured for her, and
which is made possible by the ever I'M
selfish parents having her trained in
certain lines.
But, alas, these loving mothers and
indulgent fathers neglect one of the
most essential parts of a girls train
ing. and the terse remarks of the
heartbrolSen father strikes the key
note.
Parents neglect to teach their chill
dren the fundamentals of life. and
when temptation comes there is a bar
rier between mother and daughter
which prevents the child from going to
the only source of comfort.

CAREFULLY TREAT
CHILDREN'S COLDS

Neglect of chiIdren's colds often lays
the foundation of serious lung trouble
in later life. On the other hand it is
harmful to continually dose delicate
little stomachs with internal medicines
or to keep the children always indoors.
The ideal way to avoid colds is to
keep plenty Of fresh air in the bed
room and at the first sign of trouble
apply Vick's "Vap-O-Rub" Group and
Pneumonia Salve over the throat and
chest, covering with a warm flannel
cloth. The body heat releases anti
septic vapors that are inhaled all night
long, opening the air passG ges and

Money never pays a full price for

The question in social service today
is-does it pay? Does it pay to pau

In power. unless they use their power
for the common good.
But most of all, in the business world
is the question being applied-Does 1t
pay? And more and more is it coming
to be realized that nothing that has
only a commercial value does pay; that
a prop osition with only a money value
Is not commercially a good business
proposition: that to be of any real
value, everything must have something
more than the dollar and cents marx
attached to it.
Men are coming to realize that there
is such a. thing as business righteous
ness, as civic righteousness, as politt-
cal Righteousness.
And, whatever we may choose to call
the spirit that is aninating the world
today, In social service, in reform, in
civic Improvement, in political purifi-
cation. may be directly traced to the
recognition, being slowly borne in upon
the minds of men that nothing pays
in the end, except righteousness, just
ness, equity, honesty. And these do
pay. in good measure and running
over-not only in dollars and cents,
but in those higher values that can
only make life worth living.

people to ruin the telegraph companies
with such suits. This alleged fear
has proved thus far to be unfounden'
for the suit alluded TO is the first to
be filed IN Duval county, and probably
in the state 1t is too frequently the
case that persons who have suffered
bodily injury fail to recover compen-
sating damages. and 1t doesn't seem
likely that suits for recovery on ac-
count of mental anguish would be Sc
riously considered, though all are will
ing to admit that great mental suffer-
ing is many times caused by the fall
ure of a telegram to be delivered. The
law encroaches too much upon the i'm
possible; appraising that which can
not be estimated, and in It's turn caus-
ing an endless amount OF mental an
guish to the telegraph officials. 1t is
doubtful If the law will ever accom-
plish any good whatsoever.-Orland
