Senator Mills objects to the silver
wou.l mean on the ground that 1t would
defraul al creditors out OF one-haif at
tho value OF their debts. The only nbene-
ut that would come from going to the
silver standard would affect the man who
owes dollar and wants to pay 1t with
TO cents. Senator Mllls makes the ad-
dstlonal argument that II this country is
to trade on equal terms with other coun-
tries. the common measure OF value
s1ould be ms near as possible ON a par
with that OF other nations, whose me-
dlums OF exchange are sound, As the
silver standard Is not the standard OF

WHIT CONSTITUTES A NEWSPAPER

1t Is a wonder that an inkling of the
lnsuiiciency OF any scheme to increase
circulation othel than the steady dayIby-
day or week-by-week making of news
paper good enough TO attract readers
does not oftener enter the acute brains
OF newspaper managers. During the
past four or five years there have been
myrilds Of schemes concocted to induce
peopae to buy newspapers Many news
papers have risen to more or less dizzy
aeights OF prosperity and have gradually
sunk again to the level OF their merits
as newspapers Some, indeed. have
shrewdly recognized the iilusory nature
OF the promises he'd out by the coupon,
the book, the picture, and other devices,
and have used them merely to attract
attention to their substantial merits,
These have prohted permanently. But for
one that has followed the schemes with
real Improvement and thus he'd some
Of the transitory readers, there are scores
that have not done anything OF the sort,
ard have gained nothing but an unp.eas-
ant experience. There Is but one way to
boom circulation that Is really worth con-
sldering. II Is to make a good paper.
Everybody feels the need OF a newspaper,
and everybody Is going to buy the best
newspaper offered hlm-accordlng to his
basis OF Judgment of which the best Is.
-Newspaperdom.
As Newspaperdom sensib.y suggests, 1t
Is mistake to suppose that anything
but superior performance of the news
paper function OF honestly printing the
news can give permanent advantage to
one newspaper over another. 1t Is like
wise b,under, sometimes made, to be-
lieve that popularity and success can be
gained by envlous snarllng at the heels
OF successful competitor, by persistent
.y and Indignantly llbelpng aud coarsely
abusing contemporary. The malicious
and venomous sheet loses the business
advantage OF the indirect advertising or
references to It In the more widely cir
culated newspaper, for no self-respect-
ing paper pays attention to such dis
charges OF f.lh In its direction, any more
than the wise farmer reseuts the demon
