much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu-
lation to the persistent adherence on the part
of the other Chicago dailies to the blanket
sheet Z" style Of journalism. OF all the people in
America the average Chicagoan is most in a hurry
and least inclined to wade through columns Of
verbiage and stuff. The DAILY News is the only
Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all
the news, and at the same time the good sense to
present it in concise form. The result of such a
condition Of affairs is that The DAILY News prints
more papers than all the other Chicago dailies
combined.
"In considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced SO phenomenal a jour
nalistic growth the most important one unques-
tionably has been the controlling conviction Of its
managers that the CHEAP paper should be cheap
only in price that its news should be as fresh and
complete. its editorial discussion as able, and its
general tone and character as pure and heathful
as its best and highest priced contemporary. All
this the cheap paper" may easily be even at its
reduced price.
"Thc difference of revenue between the two
cent paper even more so when the price is one
cent. and the higher-priced blanket-sheet. the
latter throws away in useless and unasked for
size, that not only is of no worth to the reader
but is even an annoyance, in that it compels him
to CLEAN what is of real news interest from a mass
of verbiage and worthless application.
"lt is because its managers have been wise
enough to practically recognize these essential
elements Of the best American journalism of TO-
day that The DAILY News is the best and most
popular general family newspaper published in
Chicago or the West"

is not the achievement now that such a journal as
