Every school, every college, every
corporation, every politician, every
city and town, every news gather
ing organization, every pernon, cor
poration, Institution or organization
that wants or does not want some
proposed legislation maintains
news bureau or publicity department
and furnishes free of charge editor
ial and nows matter for tlio nae of
the newspapers to which the matter
Is sent. Some of this matter 1b legit
imate and has a rightful place In the
news columns of a newspaper. II til
the greater percentage of the "stuff"
Is "tulntcd" and sent out with the
Idea of woihlng up a sentiment for
or ugalnut a given proposition. The
reader of tho paper which publishes
this matter docs not know tho source
which Inspired the article and there
fore reads It and Is often Influenced
by the suhtlo trickery of words Into
a boltef that Is contrary to his other
wise good judgment.
We do not enro to be misunder
stood. Muny worthy organizations
are compelled to resort to the news
columns of tho newspapers In order
to work up and maintain a sentiment
for their support. Wo got In our
mall every day a largo quantity of
such matter. We do not use all of
It. We try to discriminate against
that matter which has an unworthy
or unnecessary motive back of Its
Inception, On the other hand wo aim
to glvo Bpaco to all needy and merit
orious causes.
All these trgnuizeilons. Institu
tions, persons, etc., which send out
this matter have In charge of their
publicity department men trained In
newspaper work who are skilled In
writing copy which npHars on the
surface to bo real news matter, but
which has for Its real purpose creat
ing a sympathy for the real object
to bo attained.
We have for the pant few days
kept (Intact all such communica
tions. The list Is Interesting and
entortalnlng. It gives one a true im
pression of tho vast a mount of mon
ey that Is annually spout In postage
for such purposes when ono takes in
to consideration that nearly all the
25,000 papers In the United States
gets this' matter from day to day.
The first thing that wo pick up In
our effort to write Oils article Is u
letter sent out front the Kiual Suf
frage headquarters at Portland. It
la written on yellow paper and It.
headed "Kqtitil Suffrage Hi-Monthly
News Service." After stating that
the prospects look very bright foi
woman suffrage being carried hi
Oregon this full the article pays Iti
respects to Senator llalley. of Tex
as. In the following choice language:
"Senator llalley has come out
against woman's suffrage. We ex
peeled this of ltiilley. It nas tin
thing for Hailey to do. We'd have
dolio it ourselves If wo hud been In
Bulley't place. lie couldn't hope
to make women smell violets when
It was coll oil, Neither could we
Ralley could put on a fleece, run
about bleating and make tlio men
mistake him for a sheep. Hut women
would spot him for a gout even
111110."
Tho next that greets our eye Is i'
typewritten shoot dated at the I'ul
vorslty of Oregon, at Kugeue. stat
ing thnt ulliletlr relations had been
re-established between that Institu
tion nad tho Oregon Agt Icultura1
College. Tho next Is a pamphlet en
tit hid "The Vnlwrslty of Ore-gun
Press Ilulletlu." It contains five ar
tides as follows: A prediction b
the president of tho 1'ulverslty thai
Oregon will lead the states in en
llghteument and social righteousness
that Carlton Spencer, a Cot tag
Grove boy, will represent tho I'nl
vorslty In tho debating contest)
soon to be heard, that thorn Is high
scholarship at the university that p
vigorous campaign Is being made In
the university to Induce tho teach
ere of Oregon not to spend their vaca
tions at the seaside and other placet
of amusement or rest, but to induce
them to spend tho vacation at the
university at the summer school and
better equip them for their profes
sion of teaching, and last that tho
university students are anxiously
awaiting the outcome of the referen
dum suit which is now In the su
preme court.
The State Agricultural Kxperl
ment Station located at Pullman,
Wash., sends out weekly a bulletin..
The subject discussed this week Is
"Diseased Hood Potatoes;
The Oregon Agricultural College
sends out every few days Hems In
dicating the trend of that university.
"Teaching economy in the home",
"Fertilizing Yamhill Prunes", nn ar
ticle stating that young horticultur
allsts are In great demand; another
thnt tho orchard bulletin recently
published Is about out of print;
that strawberries can bo successfully
grown In and around the Hood River
district and that pears are grown In
large quantities In America are some
of the things that enterprising press
agent Bends out free to the news
papers of the state.
A two-page typewritten article by
B. M. Ii. Owen, who describes him
self as Newspaper Correspondent, on
tho beet sugar Industry. The article
Is highly entertaining and after one
has read It the query comes up
how docs this man make his living
as a newspaper correspondent when
ho sends his Articles out free or
charge. The answer Is contained In
the articles itself. It Is an attack
upon the sugar refiners and the mon
opoly they have created In that field,
licet sugar. If produced on an exten
sive scale will have a tendency to
break down that monopoly and the
cano sugar refluent will be unable
to dictate prices.
'i no American Economic League
with headquarters nt Cincinnati,
Ohio, sen da out complete articles fav
oring many of tho radical reforms
propagated by certain politicians and
fostered by an unthinking people
From tho tenor of some of the ar
ticles one would believe that some
nenr-soclallHtu wero paying the postage.
These are Just a few of the many
that, come every day. They Illus
trate In a general way what a news
paper has to contend with In getting
up fair and unbiased copy for Its
readers. And It also Is an explana
tion of why, oven though the greatest
pains are taken, matter of this kind
frequently gets In without being
blue-ponctled.

Every kernel of Bolduan's

dose of powerful, quick-acting
poison, "set" In the grain by
a patented process.
JtuJn, snow, dew or damp
ground does not wash out this
poison. It Is the only poison
which Is as good bIx mouths
after us the first day It Is put
out In the fields.
The best poison you've ever
used, or your money back.
