NEWSPAPERS
1938 - L Jan. 3: 1/1 - The HERALD came out in a new dress last evening,
much to the delight of its many readers. (1)
1939 - L Jan. 3: 1/1 - The PLAIN DEALER was in a new dress yesterday, but
it was gotten out in so much haste on account of the President's message
that we could not judge of its new beauties. (1)
1940 - L Jan. 4: 1/4 - The carrier boys of the different papers in town
were busy on New Year's Day selling their addresses. They were well gotten
up, in a typographical point, and the poems which are seldom of remarkable
merit, were well enough in their way.
For the first time the messenger boys of the Union Telegraph co. came
out in competition with the carrier boys. Their poem, written by A. M.
Van Duzer, is the best thing of its kind we remember ever to have seen.
We regret that our space will not allow its entire publication. The last
line of the following cuuplet will, however, speak for itself as one of
the most perfect lines that has been written in the English language.
Tte figure is that of the old year, as a ship falling away in the distance:
She is gone! far out in the mystic sea,
With a moaning wind in ter thin, sere sails.
The New Year's address of the carri ers of the LEADER was:
A dirge for the dying was yesterday tolled,
And at midnight a dirge for the dead was rolled;
Now his days are passed and his mission done,
The Herald of Life has awakened the sun.

1941 - L Jan. 4:3/2 - The PLAIN DEALER'S new dress gives that paper a
fresh and beautiful appearance. Cleveland can now boast of four handsomer
dailies than any city of its size in the Union. (1)
1942 - L Jan. 4; ed:4/1 - Why talk about the town of Lawrence holding out.
The St. Louis REPUBLICAN claims she will not and ventures to stake its
reputation that before the sun goes down this day Lawrence wi 11 submi t.
The REPUBLICAN has placed itself foremost among the pro-slavery papers of
Missouri and in consequence has lost its character and has become a byword
among decent men. Its correspondent, lil{e its editors, has opeuly
taken sides wi th the meanest, most cowardly and most brutal rabble that
ever disgraced the reputation of any state in our Confederacy, and this
paper is shocked at the code of morals promulgated by the Cleveland LEADER.
1943 - L Jan. 5; ed: 2/1 - The PLAIN DEALER says that its circulation is
twice as large as any other newspaper in the city. "It was only a piece
of 'Grayism' got up for effect." (1)
