ASHLAND,.
. . . WEDNESDAY, FEB. 5, 1896.
EDITORIAL.
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.”
