THE DAILY EMPORIA NEWS.

FOR year we have been sonclted
to start Daily. OF late these solicita-
tions have been more frequent, and Of
fers of support from our business men
have been so liberal that we to-day give
to the reading public the first number
of THE DAILY EAIPoRIA News. We
have held back not because we did
not desire to make this advance step,
but because we know the expense of
running a Daily and. the unremitting
toll of the Daily paper tread-mill.
We have fully concluded TO make the
attempt, and if we fail IL shall not be
the fault Of the proprietOrS Of THE
News. 1t will cost our people some
thing the first year or two to run Dali
ly in their town, and they must not be
afraid of a little expense. All we want
is enough to pay the simple cost.
We will give our extra time and the
wear and tear of materials. People of
Emporia and Southwestern Kansas,
will you do your share? Will you sus-
tain your Daily paper? No outlay you
can make will return a greater per cent.
We issue this as something of spec
linen of what The DAILY News is TO
be. 1t will be improved from time to
time as the support it receives warrants
improvement. 1t will probably not be
issued regularly for a little time, as
there is much to do to get into the Dali
ly harness, and no telegraph line here
yet. But if the people walk up to the
unt.lr nd erixy hot mi al
proval it will be but short time until
they can read the news every morning
before going to their daily avocations,
furnished them by home enterprise and
home industry. There will soon be no
need of sending off hundreds of dollars
annually for daily papers printed in
other towns.
We can see very good field here for
a daily paper. We will be one day
ahead in furnishing the news along the
lines from here to Marion Center, Edo
RADIO, Wichita, Arkansas City, Eureka,
and also on the valley road from here
to Americas, Council Grove, and below
as far as Chetopa. But this field will
not yield much until cultivated, and we
will want extra help at home at least
for awhile. You pay more for tobacco
than your Daily will cost you each
week. Every man in town ought to
take it. If we are not mistaken the
census rolls show a voting population
in the city of over 700. There ought
not to be over 200 of these who will not
take the DAILY News. We ought to
have at least 500 subscribers in town.
We ought and must have good clubs at
Americas, Council Grove, Neosho Rap
ids, Hartford, Madison, Eureka, Ply
mouth, Toledo, Cottonwood Falls, Ma
rion Center, Bazaar, Chelsea, Eldorado,
Towanda, Wichita, Sedgwick City,
Douglas, Augusta, Arkansas City and
other points. If we can get all this and
a good advertising patronage from our
business men, we can and will give the
people of Southwestern Kansas Dali
ly paper that they will not be ashamed
of.
We have been at the enormous ex-
pense of joining the Associated Press,
and have made every arrangement for
all the news from Europe and the East
ern States, and shall also start out re-
porters and correspondents in every di-
rection. A good live Daily paper will |
do more to attract attention to and de-
velop the Southwest than anything else |
besides a railroad. We say to the peO-
pie they can have such paper if they |
are willing to pay the bills.
We shall furnish THE DAILY News to |
all subscribers in the city at twenty-five
cents, to be paid to the carrier at the
end of each week, and to mail subscri-
bers at the rate of IS dollars per year
in advance. Those who take the week
ly will only have to add six dollars
more to have a daily in their house ev-
cry morning for a year. We ought to
have seven or eight hundred subscri-
bers for our Daily. With that many
we will be able to make n good paper.
Look at it. See how you like it. See |
what you think of having the news
from the world at large every morning
instead of once a week. Go down i'll
your pockets and get out eight dollars
and resolve at once that you will take |
The DAILY EMPoRIA NEws-that you
will encourage home enterprise-that |
you will lend the helping hand to ''push
things" in this glorious, live, rapidly
developing new State where you have
cast your lots. Meet us half way, if
you dare.-EmpOria DAILY NetcS, Sep
