WHAT ABOUT PRESS DISPATCHES ?

The Capital Journal is not an "Associated Press
paper." It could be if it wanted to be but it does not
want to be. The publisher has on his desk this morning a
1 ptter from the Pacific manager of the Associated Press
soliciting his membership.
similar letters received m the past year, supplemented
with personal visits from representatives of the associa
tion. We have no grudge against the Associated Press. We
think it is a good news organization, doing the best it can
to serve its patrons and through them the public. The
Journal pbulisher was a member of the Associated Press
in Boise, Idaho, and Eugene, Oregon, for years, and the
Eugene Daily Guard, of which he is president at the pres
ent time, takes the leased wire afternoon service of the
Associated Press. So we know a good deal about the
organization and the news service it furnishes. We have
never before been a client of United Press and are retain
ing its'service now only because we think it is a little bet
ter in all respects for afternoon papers than'the Associ
ated Press. It is livelier and more wide-awake it seems to
ns Tho older association is nrosier. slower and ultra
conservative. Perhaps it has old retainers to take care
of in important positions and this fact has weakened its
value as a news-gathering organization.
To be frank with the public, this matter of the relative
value of telegraph wire service is a matter of individual
opinion among newspaper publishers. Hundreds believe
as the Capital Journal does, that the United Press is the
best service an afternoon paper can secure, and are slip
ping away from the Associated Press. Others still cling
to the belief that the old organization is preferable.
Twenty or twenty-five years ago the Associated Press
was the strongest of the news gathering organizations
and gained the prestige upon which some old-fogy pub
lishers still lay great stress, forgetting that the world has
moved far ahead in a quarter of a century. Now there
are the United Press, the International, or Hearst news
service, the Pacific news, service, and several more, all
strong, reliable and progressive. The value of an "Associ
ated Press franchise," once so much vaunted, is now, in
the estimation of many of the leading publishers of this
country, an (Especially for afternoon papers, not worth
the paper it is printed or written on. They are being
voluntarily relinquished all over the country.
To sum up, the Capital Journal is endeavoring only to
give good public service. It wants to print readable news
and reliable news. It has its choice of at least three full
leased wire services and the difference in cost is not
material. These are the United Press, the Associated
Press and the Pacific News Service, working in conjunc
tion with the International news service of the Hearst
papers. We have no prejudice against any of these organ
izations, and no particular partiality toward either, ex
cept that we now take the United Press and are quite well
satisfied with it. We think it is liked by our readers,
since the growth in the circulation of the Capital Journal
during the past two years has been a record-breaker in
newspaper fields of similar size. We see no reason for
making a change. If at any time we feel that another
service will better serve the public we shall not hesitate
to change.
In the meantime, don't let that old buncombe about an
"associated press paper" fool you. That kind of boasting
has been out of fashion everywhere, except in a certain
fossilized Salem paper, for many years. It's the character
of news a paper gives its readers that counts now a days,
not the brand on its news service. Recognition of this fact
accounts for the success of the Capital Journal and a
great many other newspapers.

This is only one of twenty,

nomination, but it is easily seen that is just what he is
seeking, and seeking with all his heart. He is still hoping
against hope that the seemingly impossible will happen
and that something will occur to stampede the convention
to him at the last moment. It is a vain hope for the ma
jority of the delegates have been elected, and they are not
for Roosevelt. Even California with the strong backing
of Johnson failed to go for him, and failed by 40,000 ma
jority. It is all over except some shouting that may still
be done for the Colonel. He got plenty of applause but
the harvest of votes was shy.
Joseph A. Morgan, of San Francisco, is planning to
make a legal fight for the recovery of his wife taken from
him at midnight Wednesday in San Francisco, by his
wife's mother. The first intimation Morgan had of "Mam
ma's" presence was when the door of their room in the
hotel was burst open and the typical irate mother-in-law
sailed in, grabbed the weeping bride, and sailed out again
without clearance papers, pilot or tug. She asserted the
girl was only 16 years old, was too young to marry, and
that "anyway she had another man in mind who would
be a better son-in-law." If Morgan eventually loses his
bride he can console himself with the fact that he also
lost a mother-in-law. "
The reply of Germany to President Wilson's note
should on the whole be satisfactory. Abject apology and
submission could not have been expected, and since
promise is made to respect in future the American view
of submarine warfare the object sought has been attained.
The suggestion made by Germany that we use our best
endeavors to put a stop to British violations of inter
national law is proper,' providing the president finds that
such violations have occurred. We should play no favor
ites in assuming a neutral position toward the European
war.
When Henry Ford was nominated for the presidency
by Michigan voters, it wasn't with any thought he could
possibly be president. It was a protest against militarism,
a notice to the war bunch that Michigan was opposed to
the program of war preparation that means war. Ben
ton County Courier. '
More likely it meant the discharge of a debt of grati
tude to the man who has made Michigan famous and
rich. Through the automobile industry the entire nation
pays tribute to Michigan, and its automobiles are one of
the principal factors in the present war in Europe.
If the kiddies had a vote in the presidential election
Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer of the colony of the late
Alexander Dowie would get the job unanimously. He is
going to start a school where the pupils will not have to
study things they do not like, and where, as he somewhat
forcibly expresses it, "There won't be any damnable ex
aminations." If he will add a baseball diamond and a
swimming hole to his attractions he can get the job of
king or any other, so far as the kids are concerned.
William Lo rimer, ex-United States senator, as soon as
he was acquitted Thursday of a bank fraud charge, an
nounced he would again make the race for the senate. He
also stated he would devote the balance of his life and all
his earnings except such as were needed for his family, to
reimbursing those who lost when his bank failed. These
statements coming together might make the suspicious
have some ideas of their own as to what he considered the
most attractive field for making some quick money.
The Statesman is so persistently wrong that it is
never expected to be right; but when it keeps its force up
four hours and works over time to get its dispatches in
print but cut off before their real news contents were
stated, and its headline statements diametrically wrong,
it is exceeding the limit in the way of misinformation.
As a "scooper" the Statesman
scooped.
Charles F. Rhynd, of Los Angeles, was wifeless today
by order of the divorce court. He is 52 and his wife 17.
She alleges Charles was entirely too fatherly and upon
one occasion took her over his knee just like she was a
child, and used the back of her hair brush as a punitive
implement as she blushingly and diffidently told it.

What has become of the Ford peace delegation and
Rockefeller's minister, Dr. Aked? The last that was
heard of them they were somewhere in Europe and ar
ranging to get the armies out of the trenches by Christ
mas. They seem to have disappeared as utterly as the
Kilkenny cats, and mayhap from the same cause.
The Statesman is not aware of its capacity to be
wrong. Friday morning it worked four hours over-time
to accomplish this despite the fact that heretofore it has
never failed to accomplish this on regular hours with time
to spare.
