ASK THE SOLDIERS.

That the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines are deeply appreciative of the
canteen service of the American Red
Cross is given ample evidence many
times every day. The keynote of their
appreciation is perhaps best expressed
on the post cards which they send to
the folks back home" when en- route
to points of embarkation. From n
dozen picked up at random the follow
ing sentiments were taken and "speak
for themselves :"
"Red Cross are sure treating us
great en- route"
RED Cross are sure making It happy
for u.s."
Support Red Cross In everything"
'For Gods sake never say No to
the Red Cross. They're wonderful"
"Long live the Red Cross"
'"The Red Cross are angels to us the
way they treat u.s."
"Canteen service 100 per cent. in

CAN 1T BE DONE?


thinks he OF. she is able to run a
newspaper but there is a surpris- !
ingly large number who so think. /
OF course it is easy to throw a lot /
of composition together, daub |
some turpentine and lampblack
on a sheet and call it a paper.
But it is not quite so easy to
please a hundred or a hundred
thousand different tastes all at |
one and the same time. There
are no two persons of the same
degree of opinion regarding the
merits or dement's of the local
newspaper. One reader will sit /
down before supper and eagerly
scan every. item from page to
page will even digress so far as
to stop a while at the editorial
page and say it was just right. |
While another will take the paper.
from the postofice and read the
personal columns to see if he is
mentioned, then slam it down
and say it was rotten and not
worth the postage to mail it.
Some only look to see if their
names are mentioned, others look
for local news and seldom ever
read what the editor has to say.
There might, forinstance, be
something of all-absorbing inter-
>est to the welfare of the commun-
ity, not only on the editorial
page but perhaps featured also
prominently elsewhere in the
paper which is overlooked in the
readers oversight while skipping
here and there for something of
lesser interest. There are hun
dreds of people who would read a
dime novel from cover to cover
but would find little interest in a
local paper. A murder case
would absorb the attention first
of all for great many while at
the same time the editorial page
would first claim the attention of
a like number. Therefore if the
publisher has no particular sensa-
tional murder case or other sensa-
ton a lot of his readers would be
peeved. One week the publisher
might issue number that would
suit a majority of his readers and /
the next. week his paper would be |
damned by a majority of the
same readers. One week the
publisher writes an article that
forthwith makes him a nice crop
of enemies and the next writes
something that so pleases said
enemies so much that they dearly
worship him.
Pleasing people through the
columns of a paper is a case of
hit or miss. The editor is sure of
hitting some and he is just as GER
tain of missing quite a few. Some
weeks he hits and misses and
some weeks he only hits and for
gets to miss.
1t is just as difficult to suit the
tastes of fifty different readers of
a local paper as it is to please the
appetite of as many diners at
restaurant. Not all of those
diners are going to order pork
chops, nor all beefsteak, nor all
ham. Notice the scowl of a diner
at a table some day and observe
how difficult it is for him to de-
cidewhether twill be beefsteak or
brains. That is just the way of
the editors family of readers.
He makes an effort at pleasing
them and succeeds, but also sue
ceeds in displeasing just as many.
1t is a safe venture to say that no
man or no woman ever lived or
ever will live who can perform
.theefeat of pleasing every one of
the different minds, foibles, ec-
and tastes of any num-
Der of people. 1t is. like perpet-
ual motion, difficult problem.
Can it be done?

Praises Paper.

The manner in which The Times
printed the proceedings relative to the
Irish question, which was before the
Foreign Relations Committee OF the
House the latter part of last week.
was given the highest praise in an
address by Rosa F. Downing, before
the Friends of Irish Freedom, COL Z

Mr.. Downing bitterly condemned
the local press, with the exception OF
The Times, "for the unfair manner in
which 1t reported the proceedings be-
fore the Foreign Relations Commit
tee" and urged all of the members Of
the Friends OF Irish Freedom to can
Gel their subscriptions and any busi-
mes connections with either OF the
other daily newspapers in Washing
ton. "and confine their patronage ex-
clusively to The Washington Times"
Mrs. Mary McWhorter. president of
the Ladies' Auxiliary Of the Ancient
Order OF Hibernians, of Chicago, also
addressed the meeting. She corrob-
Grated the charges made by Mr..
Downing against the local press.
