THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. ys : PRODUCING NEWSPAPER P. D. Ross, Ottawa Journal, Tells Fascinating Story to Rotarians. | Ottawa Journal { P. D. Ross delivered a highly in- | teresting address on the subject of | "The Inside of a Newspaper" at the | luncheon of the Rotary Club of Ot- |tawa, In the Chateau Laurier. In | his talk, Mr. Ross referred to critic- isms of the daily newspapers and various characteristics of the press of Canada, .As past president of the | Canadian Daily Newspapers' Associa- tion, he spoke of his personal know- | ledge of newspaper proprietors and | editors, pointing out that the 104 | daily newspapers of Canada were in | the control of men who had grown up with the newspapers or who had been employed by those who had so grown with their papers. There- fore, any talk that the daily press of Canada was controlled by outside in- terests was without foundation. It had often been said that newspapers were controlled by capital, labor or other interests, but this was not so. To editors was given the privilege of conducting 'their newspapers as they would lead lives of good, strong men. Newspapers on this continent were sometimes accused of being too ser- sational. inaccurate and partisan. Mr. Ross asserted that it would be folly for a Canadian or American newspaper to follow the example of leading English newspapers, be- cause in Canada particularly, a news- | paper must be broad in its appeal. The clientele was comparatively re- stricted in this country, and the paper must be of general interest and en- tertaining rather than instructive. People from overseas were inclined to criticize Canadian papers because they did not appear to be. dignified, that they would interest Mr. Smith in the plug hat, the corner butch-r, and the clerk in the groce®'s. In Great Britain, almost any type of a newspaper secured support because there were the 'various classes of people to whom the paper would ap- peal, News passed through six different hends hefore it reached ihe publie in printed form. There was first, the informant from whom the re- patier secured the information. The reporter wrote what was told to him, and the copy was passed over to the editor or copyholder, who almost in- .| variably had to cut it down because of the constant problem of having too much news for the amount of available space, The editor wrote the heading and it was passed to the composing room, where it was set up by the linotype operator. The proof was then read and corrected by the proofreader, and it was sent back to the operator who, probably, would have to make changes which involy- ed the resetting of the- type lines. Thus, he might make a further mis- take in correcting the first one. The tnakeup man might also make a mis- take in placing the matter in the forms, Thus, it might be seen, there were at least six possibilities of a mistake in handling the one news item. There were between 1,000 and 3,000 statements of faet in every edition of a daily newspaper, and there was the equivalent of 39,000 lines of type in a daily edition. Fin- ally, there were probably a quarter of a million chances for inaccuracy, all told, in an ordinary elition of a daily newspaper. Yet, people would exclaim that a newspaper was very inaccurate, It was a wonder that there were not more mistakes than were to be found, Newspapers had been accused of being partisan but, Mr. Ross bsliev- ed, politics were not being taken quite so seriously as formerly. There were more political groups and edi- tors, were not so inclined at presant to consider politic above accuracy. The aim of the present-day news- paper was to_give justice to every person to be fair in publishing re- ports. It was not the chject of any newspaper to try to do harm to any person or enterprise. Mr. Ress declared that he did not know of any newspaper in Canada that was con- trolled by an advertiser, a political organization or other outside inter- ests. He knew many Canadiaa news- papers personally and he had know- ledge 'of many others indirectly, and he believed 'that they were all men of integrity and with honest motives. Mr. Ross told of his start as a newspaperman. He obtained a posi- tion as a reporter at $5 a week, and his employer had advised him that the kind .f stories he wanted in his newspaper was the kind that a per- son would read out loud to his next- door neighbor. This, in a word, was the real policy for Canadian news- papers. They could not hope to cater to a selected class, They must pub- lish news and other features of gen- eral interest rather than information in its literal sense, China to Have Large Mint. One of the largest mints in the world, with a possible daily output of 500,000 silver dollars, is to be erect- ed at Shanghai, China, at a cost of about $2,000,000, under the direction but Canadian papers must be such | dition does not exist in Kingston.

WE hope there is no Mother who thinks she can treat her sick baby without calling in a Physician, or with remedies that she uses for herself. Most Mothers know that Baby requires remedies especially - prepared for babies, yet there are some who think that what is good enough for them is good enough for Baby, and it is to these Mothers we appeal to give nothing to their babies that is not specially prepared for babies or recommended by their Physician, False claims may kill, but false claims can never restore your child, For over thirty years Fletcher's Castoria has been aiding in the reduction of the deaths among infants as Mothers have become more and more acquainted with it. Always keep it in the house. i . Children Cry For A doctor in the house all the time would be a good idea. Yet you can't afford to keep a doctor in the family to keep baby well or pre- vent sickness. But you can do almost the same thing by having at hand a bottle of Fletcher's Castoria, because it is a wonderful : for indigestion, colic, feverishness, fretfulness and all the other dis-' orders that result from common ailments that babies have. Fletcher's Castoria is perfectly safe to use. It is a harmless sub-' stitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. Children cry for Fletcher's Castoria, and mothers recommend it because they have found it a comfort to children and a mother's friend. If you love your baby, you know how sweet it is to be able te help baby when trouble comes. You cannot always call upon a doctor, But doctors have nothing but good to say of Fletcher's Castoria, be- cause they know that it can only do good -- that it can't do any harm -- and they wouldn't want you to use for baby a remedy that you would "use for yourself. q MOTHERS SHOULD READ'THE BOOKLET THAT IS AROUND EVERY BOTTLE OF FLETCHER'S CASTORIA GENUINE CASTORIA Aways Bears the Signature of a, THE CENTAUR COMPANY, NEW YORK CITY.
