CHANGE IN NEWSPAPER NEWS
What II Was Twenty Years Ago, and
May Be Twenty Years From
Present Time.

Twenty years ago big city newspa-
pers regarded hanging as the most
important news OF their day, the Sat
urday Evening Post observes. Elabo-
rate preparations were made to cover
the event with the greatest possible
wealth of CHASTITY detail. In the early
morning hours messenger boys raced
back and forth between busily writ
ing reporters In the jail, and the news
paper Office
When the trap was sprung the city
editor sat with his ear at the tele-
phone and his nerves as taut as a
pointing dogs, ready to rush an extra
to the street three minutes ahead of
his livest rival If he were three min
utes behind he felt forever dis
graced.
The current apology was that a
hanging was most important news, In
which and because the newspapers
had been whetting the public's curl
osity for month beforehand the pub
lie was more or less interested.
Nowadays in your metropolitan pa
per you see only brief mention OF a
hanging If you see any mention at
all. The papers have found other
news to give their readers. and their
circulation grows. Any newspaper
gives its readers only minute frac-
tion OF the interesting and important
happenings of the day Out of 20
events it selects one As to ths Zee
fourths of its contents, what 1t shall
select depends much more on itself
than on the public.
Twenty years hence leading news
papers will feel no more bound to
print the details Of a nasty divorce
case than they now feel bound to print
the details of hanging. Private scan
dals will be as briefly mentioned as
executions--if mentioned at all. They
will give their readers other news and
have more readers than they now
have.

past two weeks, was completed son
last Saturday and the more thantWo
hundred large two-horse wagon loads

of what has been accomplished in
putting the city in clean, sanitary

officers have been kept very busy
this spring looking after this ana

suits SO far justify the expense in
maintaining this department.
The city has put on an additional
sanitary officer to assist the regular
officer in charge of this work, this
department being looked after by
Officers Wood and Evans. These
officers are reporting daily to Mayor
Tate and City Physician Stanton,
and have instructions to see to it
absolutely that every spot in High
Point is given proper attention in the
matter of sanitation.
High Point secured first place over
all other cities OF the state from the

it seems to be the determination OF
the administration to maintain this
enviable record this year, and to
this end the co operation of all OF
the people is urged. i,
