John F. Carroll, Deceased
With the death of John F. Carroll, editor of the Evening Telegram, the state of Oregon loses one of its most competent, well liked men. Mr. Carroll was at all times the full fledged newspaper man. He was square. He was wide awake. He was a worker, and during the days
of his life he set an example of hard labor that it would be well for
a great number of editors of the state to take to heart. Now, of course, someone is to take his place. Who that someone will he remains a question that the news paper men all over are watching
with interest. Whether some one of the oflice stafl? will step into Mr. Carr6ll’s shoes and take charge or whether an outsider will be brought in, no one seems to know. But the fact remains, that who ever takes his place, be he outsider
or be he local man, that person will have to “get up and move.” Carroll
Greetings to the Men at the Front To you Oregon newspaper men in the service, we are sending this issue of Oregon Exchanges, with the ex press purpose of giving you a little news on
what your
fellows
are
doing. We have gathered together notes from all over the state and are sending them to you so that you may
put in a little of that spare time by posting yourselves on the doings of old friends.
Your duty is to fight for the na tion and uphold the glory of the flag at the front. Ours is to help you all we can, and to keep up the spirit at home. We will all be in it sooner or later, but until we are, we intend to do our bit here to keep the men
cheerful and in good spirits. The time will come when more of us will go, either through voluntary enlistment or through the draft, and when we do reach that stage we hope that we may stand up to our
new duties and “face the music” as well as you are doing. You have not been tried out at the front “over there” as yet, but when you are, just remember that we are here in Oregon, trying our best to keep things at home going and trying to help in any way that we may. We are pulling for you and hope that our pulling will bring you back to us and to the newspaper business of the state. To you soldiers who have sent in
a few little items of interest—and we read them all with interest——we
want to extend the thanks of the staff of Oregon Exchanges. If you think that it is any snap for a
took the Telegram and made it a
green
go—he changed the location and
hold of a thing like this and make
the publishing of the paper; now,
it go, you are sadly mistaken. We started without any knowledge of anything print-wise—and we have gotten thus far. If it takes up a
the man who takes his place will have to work and work hard.

way.
