during the last ten years, has wit
messed the birth ane death OF OF nu-
merous newspapers In Southern
California. Many of these Journals
have been conducted with consid-
erable ability, and their founders
have undoubtedly started with
high hopes of the future. But the
end could be foreseen from the
very beginning. Under the most
favorable conditions, the newspa-
per business is one in which fair
rewards for industry and enter
prise are the exception. AS rule,
journalism is the most poorly
compensated of all callings,
while it's demands are the most ex-
acting. Unwearying patience, in
cessant toll, unflinching enterprise
and years of time are required to
place a newspaper upon a paying
basis. One of the most experienced
journalists on the Paciiio Coast,
and one of the few successful ones,
said to tho writer some years ago:
"When newspaper has been pub
lished right along, every day, for
ten years, it has some chance OF
staying, and about that time il
ought to begin to pay."-San Diego
UniOn.

A Business that is Overduna.

The newspaper business has for
several years been largely overdone
In Southern California, with the
usual consequences to enterprising
publishers, whose ambition exceeds
their judgment. In places where
a single well.managed weekly
would have been adequate to the
patronage of the community, two
or three daiIies have been dragging
along u wretched existence. Late.
ly the business has been gradually
accom- m0dating itself to common.
sense standard. In San Bernardino
the two dailies have been reduced
to once week publications. In
Anaheim the excellent daily is row
. still more excellent semi
weekly. In Los Angeles the
Republican, which used to appear
daily, prUspeis as weekly. The
example Of the Republican has
now been followed by the Star.
Commenting upon this change, the
EXPRESS observes that one MORN
Ing and Que evening paper, well
conducted, will answer every re-
quirement for supplying the local
and foreign news to the citizsns of
Los Angeles, and that, by the prin-
eiple of the survival of fthefittest, two
such papers remain the sole occu-
pants Of the field. There is no doubt
that by the withdrawal OF needless
competition the publishers of these
two journals will be enabled
to give their respective read
op still better news
paper than before. The Union,
