cHRoMo JOURNALISM

The Chicago newspapers a v all
united in a common agreement that on
and after the LIST OF February next they
viii entirely discontinue the use %
chrcmo pictures as gifts to subscribers
and purchasers OF their respective jour
nails and also discontinue the various
guessing prizes invented to attract public
attention and enlarge circulation.
when chrome journalism was first In
troduced it doubtless ave temporary ad-
vantage To the newspapers which sacri-
feed the dignity and Individuality Of
journalism to clsp-trap devices for The
multiplication Of readers, but he increase
in readers was almost wholly from a
class that did not value the newspaper.
but purchased it without reSari 10 its
merits because they could thereby Oh
tain a cheaper picture than could be had
in any other a II was found also
out by those who expended moro than
their entire profits for n time to increase
circulation. that whenever they ceased
the chrome feature Of Journalism, they
lost the subscribers they had gained ty
such methods.
Another consideration that was doubt
less controlling in d~eoSdins the Chicago
newspapers to entirely abandon chrome
Journalism was that when one made 4
temporary success Of gift pictures others
followed. and therefore none received
special advantage from IT, The Chicago
publishers. some OF whom have expended
as much as 5000 in pictures for a single
issue Of their Sunday edition. finally
awakened TO the fact that they were
paying for free pictures nearly $4,000 a
year. and without any substantial com-
pensation. Competition in making a
complete newspaper was borlinated to
competition in producing the most attrac-
tive and necessarily the most expensive
free chromos to be given to purchasers,
and they have had the good sense to
confess not only the financial failure OF
the scheme but the degradation Of jour
nalism, by uniting in the purpose TO
abandon chrome Journalism entirely.
The only journalism that can stand the
test OF time is that which maintains its
own dignity by aiming 20 present the
most attractive, entertaining. instructive
and healthy newspaper to the reading
public. Those who read a newspaper be-
aus it deserves TO be read will not only
not be attracted to it by chrome journal
ism. but the more intelligent class Of
newspaper readers logically assume that
the public journals which descend 10 such
clap-trap devices TO obtain readers. sac
fee the merits OF Journalism by catering
to these who place no value upon legiti-
mate newspapers and who will cease to
be purchasers Whenever :he chrome feat
IRE is abandoned. Journalism IS the
highest known profession in our free gov
ernment. where newspapers enter nearly
every home and are the ereat educators
Of the people. and it can command public
respect only to the extent that it respects
itself by claiming public patronage solely
on its merits.
