Lonfi SUte Papers
Whatever one may think ot Presi¬ dent Wilson's political views, there is no doubt tbat he has very effective Ideas In regard to the length of presi- dentui messages. Of recent years, they have been running up into the 10,000 and 20,000 word length, and not one paper in a thousand has tried to give them verbatim.
People will not read long treat- ment of any subject For every man who will read a five column address, there are GOO who will rea«> one of one column.
People who have liad ahy literary or newspaper experience soon flnd out that to get their ideas to the peo¬ ple, they must state them briefly.
