JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Brown
A Question.
"Whijn It rains In tho mountains,"
1, asked of Undo NOd.
"Do all tho forest rangers
Go In tho watershed?"
THE first day of September is the tiny fixed by law ou
which residents of New York slate may see put in
force one of the stranirest crusades on record. It is a
crusade atrainst roadside advertising, already advocated
by many motorists, among them members of the Automo
bile Club of. America.
No motorist who has driven his car beyond the con
fines of city streets has failed to note the over-increasing'
number of uusightly advertising signs which deface the
landscape, particularly in places where the natural scen
ery is most beautiful. None has sped along a country
road or n tree-shaded lane who has not come on some such
admonition as: "So-and-so's pills are good for that tired
feeling."
The motorists themselves, the greatest suffers by rea
son of this mutilated landscape, have been the primary
cause of this defacing, for the advertiser has sought to
i'cach them more than any other class of persons by his
flaming signs beside the road. It has been misguided ad
vertising, for those the advertiser has reached have lynd
his fulsome praises of his wares with disgust; that such
things should be allowed to mar the beauty of country
life, "but apparently not an advertiser has come to realize
this.
It remained for the New York legislature and for Gov
ernor Dix to put an end to such advertising in New York'

that any one who may place an advertisement 'on any
stone, tree, fence, stump, pole, mile-board, mile-stone, dan
ger sign, danger signal, guide sign, guide post, billboard,
building, or other structure within the limits of a public
hisrhwav is guilty of a misdemeanor."
Better 30 1 from the motorist's view point is the pro
vision which says that "any advertisement in or upon a
public highway 'in violation of the provision of this sub
division may be taken down, removed, or destroyed by
anv one."
Tlie act will tatfc effect on September 1 next, and on
that day there bids fair to be a throng of motorists on all
the country roads, equipped with instruments of all sorts
which may aid them in tearing down the long-offending
signs. Motorists even now all over the state are sharpen
ing their knives and axes, preparatory to sallying forth,
for the work of beautifying the highroads.
It is to be hoped that other states follow in New York's
lead.
Value of the Small Newspaper
(From the Portland Telegram) j forth to It every aid, whllo on the
There is a very' lively agitation go
ing on in the state press over the
question of the deluge of free matter
that they arc being constantly asked
to print and much of which they nre
actually printing. There Is no busi
ness extant from which so much
gratis work is expected as from the
newspapers. Whilst this Is true of
all newspapers, It bears with greatest
force upon the smaller newspapers
which lack the variety of resources
the big communities afford. They are
expected to advocate everything that
is for the public Interest wlhch Is
reasonable and within duo bounds',
but .many things that aro BUgarcoated
under tho gulso of public Interests
too often conceal private Interests
that solely aro benefited by tho dead
heading and aro often times really
inimical to the public welfare.
There Is no claBS which gives up so
much to the community Interests as
these small newspapers, and there Is
no class whoso wonc gets so little
recognition and usually such Httlo
compensation. Every enterprise In
the community expectB recognition
it expects to have constantly poured
other hand It rarely expects to reel
procatc. and when It does, nnd that
with very bad grape, It does so little
that It might be called Infinitesimal
There Is no Investment that tho
small community can make which Is
equal to tho woll-conducted, self-respecting
and self-sustaining news
paper. It Is tho mouthpiece of tho
community so far as tho outside world
Is concerned, and by It the community
Is most often judged. As a matter
of fact, it is a good reflex of a com
munity. For thiB reason It deserve
to bo sustained' as a community In
vestment. Tho wholo community
should not bo united as It now usually
Is In deadheading Its ways and Us
schemes, public, private, good, bad
and Indifferent Into tho newspaper.
It should rcallzo that tho small nows
paper has some rights which should
be respected and It has some needs
which must bo supplied.
Every community Bhould get the
point of view of tho newspaper so
that It gets a fair deal with the rest
of tho enterprises. When It does this
It will find better newspapers, bettor
service and all around improved conditions.
