EVERY" sensible business ninu welcomes const motive criti cism. For criticism Unit is constructive means criticism Unit points out defects which can lie corrected, and thus add to the value of whatever, the individual concerned, may be pro ducing. The April issue of "Oregon Exchanges" just received, eon tains an interesting article by It. (i.

He believes the editorial column of the .Mail-Tribune is too wide and comments as follows: There Is, lor example, the Meilford Mail-Tribune, lis main editorial column is set two columns wide tn a fairly lurpe hut" liKhl-rnccd type, and the lines are widely spaced. In strong con trast, Arthur Perry's sprightly column appears beside this wide sot material in milch smaller type, lightly spaced. The editorial piigo of tlie Mnll-Ti'lhuno Is Interesting and enlivening, but I would enjoy rendhig It bolter if to read It were not so hard on the me chuiilcal functioning of the eye. I have no doubt that the Mail Tribune's deserved reputation for editorial excellence could still be enhanced among lis renders If the editorial slug were shortened nnd about one-third of tlie lends removed from between the lines.' ('. ('. Chapman, editor of the Oregon Voter, and himself a veteran newspaper man, disagreed with this opinion, saying that it was contrary to his own experience.. Oregon Exchanges sum marizes Callvert 's reply as follows: ... Mr. Callvert replied that he had nsked two of Ills associates i about which they thought were the best dally papers In Oregon: both, lie Haiti, had mentioned the Medford Mail-Tribune In tills connection, Incidentally complaining of the same difficulty uf ., reading which ha had noticed,. e r r , , Xow this opinion is naturally very interesting to the Mail Tribune, and we hope sufficiently interesting 'to sonic of our renders for them tn give ns their opinions.
