Newspapers and Subscription
LISTS

The Rev. Washington GLADDEN. in his ad-
dress on the 'Attitnde of the secular
press toward religion" before the Con-
gress of Churches, expressed a hope
that the time would come when news
papers would be ready to "face frown-
ing world and a failing subscription list"
In other words, DIR. GLADDEN. wants the edi-
torial department entirely divorced from the
counting room. We fear the time will never
come when DIR. Gladden's hopes will be re-
allied to any great extent. There may occa.
sionaIly appear philanthropist of large
wealth who will publish newspaper en-
.irely for the benefit of his fellow men, but
the great mass are likely to be run always
as they are now, pr marily for the benefit Of
their proprietors.
But there is nothing in this fact to lead
one to despair of the future of the newspa
per. Newspapers have always been run FOL
the benefit of their proprletors and yet they
have been constantly advancing in every dl-
rection, showing quite as much improvement
in their moral tone as in other respects. H.
deed the very fact that the pecuniary bene-
fit of their proprietors is sought after has
been very instrumental in effecting this i'm
provement. for as a matter of fact a respect
able paper pays better in the long run than
vile one. Unless, therefore, the moral
tone Of the community is to suffer decline
there need be no fear that the fact that
newspapers are published primarily for the
benefit of their pgoprietors will detract from
their character.
1t was not long ago that certain newspa-
per proprietors in New York conceived the
notion that they could extend the circula-
ton of their sheets by filing them up with
scandals served up in sensational style.
The experiment proved melancholy fail
ure. 1t didn't take long TO satisfy them that
indecency did not pay, and the fact that
they could not face browning world and a
failing subscription list" soon compelled a
return to decency. The failing subscription
list in this instance certainly was power
for good,
