The billboard (Aug 1905)

Xtie Billboard 21 "SAO miLV FKAiablr the miNt aimudns of the 'varloas"funny ct tpwi f e Mt by the crowd that is now runnlns the Bllposters As- sociation Is the effort they are making- to apply the "gag" to the two thousand g^aapre men who are members of that jlganlsatton. Threats of various de- grees of punishment have been made by letter and through the columns of the (ifflcial organ to those who are jggapaeted <A "leaklns.** but to no pnr- pdM^'-'for The Billboard has had all along about all the n«wa of the doings of the little coterie of ImMmm that was worth while. • • • How ridiculous It Is for these men to fuss and fame over their Uttle tupenny- bapenny game as though It was a great affair of state. Imagine Bob Campbell talking about "leaks" and throwing a ■care into the little billposters because th^ exercise the right of free Ameican cltlsens to talk if they want to. Talk, and lots of it, will do the billposters and the Association more good than anythiiig else. Publicity is the "big sUdTs thst kMvs- jBa» tiana^Ai eSeiete regu riB fc ' It kOlea tli« *1Seooiid- ary Franchise" proposition as dead as a smoked herring; it compelled the restoration of the Beserve Fond; It ftmds of tiie' AMOdaflon Air for the official organ, and rrnnprlled the adoption of a policy of economy by the present administration. The effect will not wear off for some time to come. Let the gang apply the "gag;" at pleasure. The BUlboard win continue to bold thrir acts up for inspection trbeiMVier occasion requires. There will atwava-be a "leak" at the pniier time Victor -amam, tte lUr-hittred but ■talwait Mm of Ur. Joseph Bruton. of London, Eng., came all the way from New York before he sailed for 'ome to pay a visit to The Billboard and its editor. The pleasure of meeting the young man was somewhat dampened by the sad newq of the death of Bro- ther Hiram LoAg, which he brought. Victor will long remember his visit to Cincinnati since it was the first op- portunity he had to see an Ameri- caa taooMk* He MUartatiMd at the edltort hott bone 1b Ft Thomas. « • • We have a lot more to talk about, but can't t^ it all this time—too many JBCITnNBBX usr OT ' .Asfor tlM covert threats of Campbell ■ad fto/'flOlcial organ, no billposter need > w» ja» leMt c onewn.

Much Is said about the improvement of the Board of Di 2^ ne BtOMaMi does not insinuate that the new members of the Board are not as able men as those whom they dis- Maced: but it believes in being fair to OHMjrto were displaced. The Astute Mitor does not appear to be so gener- ously inclined. It is easy to under- stand that he has nothing good to say for Capt Jack Stewart, of Atlanta, who held up that strike of $190 for the holiday number cover. Why should he infer t|Mit WMk. !■ Mt «p ID the official ataniaaMT' Hie !■ corttfOI more Rfarly a representaUve biUposter than the man who succeeds him. But com- nrisons are odious, and the Asaoda- ttie services of a I dropped. The Astute Editor evidently wishes to give a clean bill of health to eertain persons when he claims that Oie east TOted solidly BeaU for treasurer. Hl.«i statement -will l>e accepted if he eliminate that part of the east known as Oiastsr Mm ^niK4llA'4iB» dry other spots eaatraOed'fev tta-s«tae crowd. The game was framed, hot was defeat^ by Col.
