Last week we received a recent issue of the Newsboy, of Portland, and its ed itor’s sole argument in defence of his as sertion as the “Monarch” is that the Newsboy enlarged before the A dvertis er did, and that, therefore, his paper is the better—unpardonable ignorance. The A dvertiser is recognized by the leading amateurs of America as the “Monarch of the Amateurs,” and wTe will cheerfully show letters from the leaders, in proof of what we assert. Can the News boy do as much? Most assuredly, no . It is not recognized at all. Superiority all points our way, in fact, the editor of the Newsboy dares not refer the matter to any Amateur Press Association for settlement. The News boy cannot justly dispute any of the fol lowing facts: The A dvertiser is perfect ly printed, many times better than the Newsboy; our make-up and typography are faultless, so much better than that of the Newsboy that their dirty and re pulsive appearance is not worthy the name of connection with the printer’s art; we have a better advertising pat ronage, the last issue of the Newsboy re ceived by us containing but 15 inches of advertising, while our last issue con tained 46 inches of display ads. and 2% inches of reading notices, giving us a majority of inches; we also print more new s and in better form ; in reality the Newsboy is not entitled to consider ation as a new spaper—it is a disgrace to the Amateur press. The editor of the New’sboy but further displays his ignorance if he persists in asserting that his paper is “Monarch,” and verifies the saying that you can con vince a wrise man, but a fool, never. Mr. Cohen, you had better pack your “print shop” into a grip-sack and mi grate to the interior of Africa, where, among people of your own intelligence, you may be able to turn out a sheet that will be recognized as the “Monarch.” City Council Proceedings.
