THE COUNTRY PRESS

One of the most important and indis-
| pensIo!e auxiliaries to American civiIiza-
Iion and progress is the country press
metropolitan journals are often ant TO
ignore the influence of the country nrsss
whereas 1t is the greatest of all motiva
powers to move the people in given III.
reetion. The great city Journals NAV
advocate thing, and work m the Dao-
pie IN the centres of population. buttbe
millions IN the rural districts are ant 10
follow the lead of their home Journals
consequently in effecting any great ma
tlonal reform it is of the first Importance
to secure the cooperation of the country
press.
This may be easily done, by showing
them that the proposed reform is correct
IN principle and worthy of public appro-
baTion. 1t may be set down as a gener-
al proposition that the country press is
moved less by mercenary and material
interests than the city press. And when
the country press is united in the advo-
cacy OF any given proposition, it is gen.
orally more effective in its advocacy than
that OF city journals. The reason for
this is obvious. The editor of the week
ly journal may be said to speak to his
aequaintances, while the editor of the
city daily speaks largely to strangers.
The formers circle of readers is confined
mostly to his own neighborhood, and is
composed of those whom he meets in the
everyday walks of life.
He knows all their peculiarities, the
weak and strong points in their charac-
ter, and knows just how to appeal to
them to carry conviction This is nee
essarily not the case with the writer up-
on metropolitan journal, and he con
tlnuaily ruins the risk of offending his
auditors by his mode of reasoning, there
by destroying the force of an otherwise
logical argument
Holding the position that they do, the
conductors of the country press are
placed under responsibility that should
be properly appreciated and valued.
They are the educators of their readers
and the moulders of public opinion. |
They make the moral sentiment of their |
community either coarse or
refined as they choose. 1t is easy to |
judge of the character of given COM
while it is equally easy to deter
mine the character of the community by |
a careful study of the local press. If |
S-A~ - AChuCNi, ana
the other is sure to be the |
same and Uice rerSd.
Without a healthy and hearty support,
the local press can do nothing, and as
reforming agency becomes a failure.
No man goes to stranger to contribute |
to the building up of the interests of his
own household. He goes to work and |
and WHITES bis own domes-
tic agencies. The man who refuses to
support his home paper, but patronizes
only foreign institution, is simply rob
bing himself. 1t is his home paper alone
that ceaselessly looks after his home in
terests and labors to build up the COM
munity in which he lives The distant
city journal cannot be expected to do
this, for there are too many separate |
communities where it circuIates.
