Illinois Newspaper Directory and History"When Mr. Sunday (Billy Sunday, the evangelist) comes we publish a daily papertemporarily during the time he is there. He certainly creates a great deal of interest. Itmakes it possible for a newspaper to publish a daily paper on an occasion like that.know in our case we printed this paper daily and gave reports of his meetings and fromIday to day printed a list of the converts. At one time I believe there were 2,32 5 converts.If I remember rightly I spent about $50 or $60 for cuts and I contributed $50toward his offering besides and I made no charge to him for any service we rendered.The only mistake I made about it was that we printed the daily paper to cover the seriesof his meetings for 3 5 cents and it ran a little over five weeks. We could just as wellhave had twice as much and made a profitable venture out of it. We did not lose anythingas it was and a great deal of interest was aroused. Our circulation on the weeklywas 5,3 5 and to show the interest of this part of the country it ran up so along towardthe close of the daily paper we were printing about four or five thousand copies a day.The reason was that the people in the town would take a copy for themselves and sendfour or five to some of their friends in the distance. In viewing the matter after itpassed we decided that if the charge was set at twice as much as it was it would havebeen just as reasonable and we would have made about $1500 or $1600."Judge Orrin N. Carter of the Supreme Court of Illinois delivered an address on"Newspapers and the Courts," in which he said that the evils that arise from free criticismof courts and juries in the public press must be corrected, largely, by the pressitself, as punishment for criticisms of this kind is more apt to do harm than good.The President introduced Mr. Patterson, who was formerly with N. W. Ayer andSons, advertising agency. He gave an informal talkThe Committee on Resolutions presented a resolution that after July 1, 1914, abureau of information, exchange, and employment be added to the duties of the Secretaryof the Association. G. W. Hughes, Clinton Register, moved that thanks be tenderedto the newspapers of Chicago for the recognition they had given to the Associationmeeting. It was brought out in discussion that little attention had been given the conventionby the Chicago papers, and that the Chicago Tribune had given the best reportof this meeting. The motion was finally adopted, however.General topics were discussed, particular attention being paid to liability and fireinsurance, exchanges and the increase of membership of the Association. The Presidentmade suggestions, saying in part:"Our discussions have been very interesting and before we pro:eed with the finalbusiness of the Association, the election of officers, I desire to speak to a question onprivilege on personal matters. I have been president for the past year, and I feel thatthe past year has been an improvement. For a number of years the attendance andinterest in the meetings of the Illinois Press Association has been languishing, and themeeting at Decatur, a year ago, was one of the smallest meetings that I ever knew,and I have been a member of the Association for thirty years. I don't know why theinterest and attendance languished, other than the fact we did not have railroad transportation,and that we had to pay our fares to go there. There are a few of us whohave been paying our fares regularly. I think I can pay a fare again, the same as othersdo. For some reason or other, however, there has been an increased attendance this year.There has been an increased interest in the discussion, the credit for which I think is dueentirely to the Program Committee. That the interest has been greater and that theattendance has been larger, I don't know the reason for it, unless it is due to the factthat the meeting has been held in Chicago. At any rate I feel grateful to the Associationand its members, because the attendance is large, and the discussions have been moreinteresting."188
