Wood, a newspaper man from Oklahoma, who will take possession June 1. 1914. Mr. Wood is a publisher o f ex perience who comes highly rec ommended, and no doubt he will improve The News to meet the requirements o f this rapidly de veloping section o f Oregon. The sale involves the transfer o f the printing plant, subscription list, good will and business o f the paper. All unpaid advertising accounts due prior to and including this date are payable to the under signed. All debts contracted on behalf o f The News prior to this date will be paid by the undersigned. It iswith mingled feelingsof re gret and pleasure that these words are written. Regret for having to leave this beautiful and pros perous little city, pleasure that I have been able to gain and retain the friendship and good will of the people o f Falls City. No plans have been made for the immediate future, though it will be necessary to remain here for several weeks in order to set tle up private andofficial business. Having severed my connection with The News, and wishing you all happiness, prosperity and long life, I subscribe myself, A Friend o f Falls City, C h as . W . L e e . The U. o f 0 . school o f journal ism has demonstrated a fact that was already well known to many men who have been long engag ed in newspaper work. Only a small percentage o f the number who “ take journalism” become real ‘newspaper’ men, and that the young man who seriously “ wants to be an editor” will do so, school or no school. Unless the school gives practical instruction along correct lines, its graduates will not be worthy wieldness o f the most powerful weapon known to man. The school has a mission, however, in this, that if it helps to a more general diffusion of knowledge concerningthe duties, powers and rights o f the press it will amply justify its existence. The institution surrounded by mystery and hedged in by ignor ance is dangerous to liberty. The better one understands the power o f the press the less in clined he will be to use, or to allow others to use that power for the perpretation or perpetuation of wrong. _______________ C.
