wide circulation, reaching a large num-
Der of people hitherto unable to afford
the luxury of a first-class daily paper.
Reports from agents and subscribers
indicate a continued increase, and that
what used to be regarded as d luxury
has become a necessity. The new read
ers not only remain, but they are ON
stantly increasing.
1t is the purpose of the Journal to
make itself even more indispensable to
its patrons, new and old, and to still
further widen its field. To this end it
will not only endeavor to maintain the
characteristics which have established
its reputation as by far the best news
paper in Indiana, but will add such new
features and improvements from time
to time as are in accord withjournalistio
progress and that may tend to the ad-
vantage of its readers. 1t will, for ex-
ample, give increased attention to State
and local interests. What Indianians
want is a paper in which Indiana affairs
are given especial prominence and i'm
portance. This want the Journal has
always supplied as no other paper pub
lished outside or inside the State is able
TO do; but the rapidly developing indus
tries and business aud social enterprises
of the community call for additional
consideration and space, With this in
view its corps of correspondents has
been increased until ithas a representa-
tive in nearly every town in the State.
Special travelling correspondents will
visit the news centers of the State at
frequent intervals. thus insuring the
write up of every important event
or matter of general interest.
Being published in the geographical
center of Indiana the Journal is afforded
unusual facilities for securing news
promptly, and, what is of greater con-
sequence, is able to reach its subscribers
without delay. The running of morn
ing trains from Indianapolis is very
favorable to the early distribution Of
papers sen by mail or express, and in
most towns within a radius of q hun
dred miles Journals are delivered as
early AS in the city where they are
printed. In the more remote counties
there is but little loss of time in trans
p~ortation.
The Journal is the paper for Indi-
anians and particularly for Indiana
Republicans. The change of admins
tration involves the settlement OF
political problems likely to be of the
most direct personal concern to every
farmer and business man in the State.
All such matters will be set forth in
detail, the Journals Washington corre-
spondent being instructed to give
especial attention to everything having
a possible bearing on Indiana interests.
But though the Journal is Republican
in politics it lis n%on-partisan in the pub
cation OF news. Its constant endeavor
is to secure facts unbiased by preju-
dice and to make its columns trust
worthy records OF eachday's happenings.
A large editorial force supplements the
work OF the press associations and the
correspondents, and furnishes careful
supervision for each department.

lisled literary character. superior to
