SELLING LAnYSMITH 10
THE WORLD

"A newspaper Is more or less
of a town cart horse, as we'll as
an educational institution. IF
there is a housing problem, the
newspaper is expected to assist
in solving it. The newspaper is
expected to build up sentiment
for good roads to bring people
from far and near to trade with
our merchants; it is expected
to fight for appropriations for
better schools, for better pay so
that we may have better teach
ers; carry on propaganda for
economy in handling of public
funds, and stand between the
progressive members of county,
city and school boards and the
penny pinchers who hate to see
any public money expended,
even for meritorious purposes !;
to work for paved streets and
better lighting; to educate the
merchants to meet conditions
by advertising frankly; to edu-
cate the citizens on the impor-
lance of trading at home-just
to cite a few Of countless
causes we are expected to work
Tor.
The newspapers here repre-
scented have as their primary
aim, the selling of Ladysmith to
the world. To do this a news
paper must carry in every is
sue it sends broadcast, publicity
propaganda, if you will-that
will tend to create and foster in
the mind of the reader the idea
that Ladysmith would be a good
place in or near which to live.
Within nearer confines, we
must sell Ladysmith to the pe0-
pie within our natural trade
territory.
Every town has a personal
ity. People who live near
enough to a city to become well
acquainted with it, but do not
live in it, come to have a per-
sonal feeling toward a town,
just as toward an individual.
If the newspapers Of a town
measure up to their job, they
circulate pretty thoroly through
out their trade territory and in
building up goodwill for them
selves, they build up goodwill
for their city and more or less
for all of it's institutions.
Lady S m his newspapers
reach over 1000 homes and
have approximately 10000 read
ers in our immediate trade ter
ritOry every week.
When these people read La
dysmith papers, and talk about
the news of interest to them,
they are talking and thinking
more or less all the time about
Ladysmith, they learn the La
dysmith viewpoint, L "a d y
smiths ambitions, and they can
not read these papers week af-
ter week without believing that
Ladysmith is a pretty good
town and has a good bunch of
live, progressive citizens. Not
every city has newspapers that
build up this feeling in the sur
rounding territory and the fact
should not be lost sight of that
no other agency can do this
work.
The land men are working all
the time to sell Ladysmith to
the world, but, after the people
come here, when they become
part of the trade territory of
a city, their work is done, at
least to a great extent, while the
work of the newspaper, that did
it's full share to bring the new
conner" here is only started with
his arrival in our section.
The problems of the newspa
per are many and complex. 1t
is an expensive proposition to
put out a live, up-tO-date news

get makes goes to build up a
stronger paper. Operating ex-
penses are constantly increas-
ing, never showing a decrease
mounting steadily as circulation
increases.
Just one more thought: With
"a better Ladysmith" as a guild
ing slogan, the News-Budget
has sought most carefully and
assiduously to build up a broad
minded community spirit, the
primary requisite to co-opera-
ton and pulling together for the
common good. That meant de-
veloping a spirit of tolerance.
The newspaper is the school of
the entire community and it can
only teach tolerance by fighting
factionalism and radicalism,
both merely forms of intoler-
ance.
The newspaper of moral tone,
promoting sane ideas, known to
be fair and Independent and thus
holding the confidence and good
will of the people Of it's field, has
great influence toward making
community a desirable place
in which to live, a safe place to
locate and conduct any indus
trial enterprise, with reasonable
assurance of favorable condi-
tons and a square deal.
The editor, at one time or an
other, pins flowers on about
everybody in his community.
And the flowers help. But how
few seem to think it worth
while to cheer the lonely heart
of the town cart horse!

Employees Argue Right to Present
Scale of WAGES Before u. S.
Labor Board.
NEEDS OF FAMILY CITED
Union Chief Urges That the Needs OF
the Normal Home BE Taken as
Basis of Establishing Mini
mum Wage.

Chicago-B. M. Jewell, president of
the railway employees department of
the American Federation OF Labor,
filed his final reply to the last argu-
ments presented to the United States
Railroad Labor Board by the railways
in support of their plea for a general
reduction of the wages of common Ia
Dor.
The railroads closed their case on
May T. During the day the board be-
gan the consideration of the case in
executive session, decision not being
expected for several weeks.
Financial Needs Emphasized.
In his statement filed, Mr. Jewell
held that in regard to the fundamental
issues in the case, the carriers have
said nothing beyond declaring that
questions of human rights and human
that the roads have only emphasized
their financial needs without regard to
the equities in the case.
Mr. Jewell declared that in a number
of exhibits the employees have shown
such an appeal for sympathy to be un'
founded In answer to the attack of
the railroads upon the exhibits en-
titled ''inadequacies Of management
he quoted the Railway Age as estimat
ing that the trans 0ortatiOn industry
needed $4,000 100000 to put it abreast
of the times
1t would be a fundamental injustice
he said, if the board should grant a
reduction in the rates of pay because
of the present financial embarras sment
of the roads.
Needs of Family Cited.
Mr.. Jewell's reply urged that unless
the needs of normal family are used
as the basis for establishing mini
mum wage, the tendency would be tC
discourage marriage or to make neceS
sary the labor of wives and young
children, or to bring about steady
deterioration of the health and moral
qualities of families affected.
Continuing, he declared that There
has been suggested no method of deter
mining what wage, to be used as a
backing point, is just and reasonable
except the method of ascertaining
what wage is living wage, that is, is
sufficient to maintain the worker and
his family in health, "decency and
efficiency"
Rely on Board for Justice.
Referring to the alleged attempt OF
the railroads to appeal to the law OF
supply and demand, he declared sup
ply and demand mean the exercise OF
force by both sides, whereas the whole
purpose of the transportation act was
to Obviate the use of force in railroad
disputes and to have such disputes de
cided by the board on principles Of
justice and equity"
After pointing out that the railroads
or employees were never in favor oil
the transportation act as it was enact
ed, the reply added: Now, obedient
to the law, they come before this
board, temporarily at least laying aside
their proven weapons and relying upon
the board for justice. Thus it is alb
surd for the railroads to talk about
supply and demand. and to attack the
living wage principle as impracticable ,
