NOYES RAPS HARPER'S ARTICLE BY IRWIN President of the Associacd Press Corrects Views on News Monopoly. Lawrence, Kans.,, May 12.—A let- ter from Frank B. Noyes, of the Wash- ington, (D. C.) Evening Star, presi- dent of the Associated Press, who had been invited to address the Kansas‘ Newspaper conference, was read be- fore that organization at the Uni- versity of Kansas here today. The letter was as follows: Washington, May 7, 1914.

You ask me, inasmuch as I cannot be with you in person, .to write you my views on the question you are to 1 correctly understund the meaning of the question. As you give it to me it is divided into two parts: First. To what extent is a mem- a press association entitled Not “Entitled” to Monopoly. | mation of the Associated Press (the ! which new members may be elected. My answer to this is that no mem- | | ber of any press association can un- | der any.conceivable set of conditions | be “entitled” to a monopoly of news {in a community. The question anawers itself. As a matter of fact no such monop- | oly' exists and as an equal matter of fact no such monopoly could exist. The news of the world like the news of the vicinity is open to all. \ It is utterly impossible to monopo- lize it. Different Question Presented. If the question is intended to read HOW THIS BOY GAINS WEIGHT His Mother Says She Gives Him Father John’s Medi- cine-to Build Him Up During a recent interview, Mr. Jo- seph Mercier, of 253 Whlker street, Lowell, Mass., said to the writer: “My little boy, Clifford, now seven vears old, has taken Father John's Medicine whenever he had a cold or cough, ever since he was two yéars old, and it has never failed to give good results. We find that the medi- cine stops the wheezing, and he used to cough badly at night and he does not do it when we give him Father John's Medicine. We believe that Father John's Medicine gives him in- creased weight and strength, and we know that while taking it he always gains in weight. We would not be without it in the house, and strongly recommend Father John's Medicine to mothers of children who are weak and run down.” The Store That || Welcomes You If it is to purchase, if it is enly to look around and note the new styles, you are welcome.

Our desire was to form a co-opera-# tive association of representatives - of newspapers that should be the agency by which we could exchange news with each other and jointly colle\'t news for our common We conceive lhat we have an en- tire right morally and legally to do this, just as much right as a paper in Philadelphia. a paper in Chicago and a paper in Washington have a right to employ Mr. Richard Harding Davis to go to Vera Cruz and send dispatches for their joint use. Membership Is Very Large. It 1s for us to decide, in our view, whether we will enlarge our group by the admission of new members—as u matter of -fact our present member- chip is very much-larger than when Wwe organized in 1900 -though it now has only about one-third the daily newspapers of the country representea in its membership. We have provided a method by My owh view—and I have consist- ently acted on- that view—is that -a member should be elected: when it is to the benefit of the association gen- erally. This does not at all mean that I would admit every applicant, We want our members individually to be strong and solvent. It does not strengthen or benefit the organization to elect another member in a field that will not support another paper. Often Voted Adversely. 1 have also repeatedly refused to vote for an applicant for membership when'l thought that his admission | would tend to break down a compét- | ing news service. | L see by your program that Mr. Ir- win is to speak on this subject, I greatly regret that I will not have the pleasure of hearing him—if only ! for the purpose of correcting some of his misapprehensions as shown in a recent article that appeared in Harper’'s Weekly. I am sure, however, that Mr. Irwin will forgive me.if,1 take this oppor- | tunity of ‘pointing out to him where he is in error—at least from my point of view. First—the succesg that was made of the Associated Press of Illinois un- der the leadership of Victor F. Law- all due to any marked superiority in news gathering. Due to Determination. It was due to a determination that that as- service should not be controlled by a private ownership—that it should in fact be gathered for and by the news- papers and controlled by them and of the present organization and l! its Second—Mr. Irwin &tates that most of the members of the Associated Press hold what is known as “rights of protest.” He is mistaken-—only a small fraction of the members hola such rights. Third—Mr.. Irwin falls into a not surprising error, though it is rather surprising that writing as a supposed | expert he should base an indictment the bond 'vote has controlled the election of the ‘board of directors—as he pic- turesquely put it “the old crowd holas absolute and perpetual control. Noth- ing has even so much as shaken that control.” Very picturesque and very untrue. T suppose that T am in a position to know as much about the affairs of the Associated Press as Mr, Irwin.

This is because no issue has been presented where the interests of the more important papers who carry the burdens of the assessments have come into conflict with the smaller papers. As a matter of fact when there have been contested elections the bond vote has been split up just as the membership vote has. At the annual meeting of the as- sociation held on April 21, because of this assertion by Mr. Irwin, I request- ed (as I had been renominated as a director) that a report be made by the tellers of 'the vote by member- ship, excluding the bond vote, as if it were true that1was not the choice of the membership and was maintained in office by the bond vote when no issue existed between the larger and smaller papers I should be given food for serious thought.

As to the first part of the question 1 think that a competitor has as much right to demand and receive the same news service as he would to demand and receive the use of another paper’s presses, composing room, edi- tors, reporters, and every other facil- it: yJusl as much right and no more.
