Johnson, edi tor and publisher of the Water town, N. Y.. Daily Times, makes a fervid plea for youth. His article follows: '.'The depression is displaying this tendency as it related to some American newspaper offices: They are failing to take on young men. This is perhaps a natural policy. The papers are endeavoring to hold their old staffs and the in clination is to turn aside the young men who seek places. "It is true that the smaller news papers are compelled to act con servatively and this probably ap plies ulso to the larger papers. But it Is an unwise policy which excludes the young and fresh ma terial. "Maurcnaner offices become stale quickly unless particular attention is given to the development of new material. The seasoned men are desirable, but the young men are, after all. about the most valuable assets a newspaper office can have.

"There is nothing more refresh ing in connection with newspaper work than the discovery of some young man of quality who upon trial brings to the publication an element of appeal and strength which it did not have before. We cannot afford to close the door even in a time of stringency such as the recent past has been. "If any policy is permitted which excludes the new material, we will emerge from this period of depression with staffs that are weak because there is a lack of freshness . and spontanety in the personnel constituting them.
