PLEA FOR THE PRESS.
Why Newspapers are Entitled to Sup
port-Reasons Why Merchants
Should Advertise.

The people do not half appreciate
the press. Daily papers are more than
a convenience, says the Knoxville
Journal. They constitute the very
oxygen of city life. They educate and
inform the masses, launch and boom
public enterprises and devote endless
space to the mutual interests of the
whole people.
A Thousand instances might be CIV
en-. City papers are almost always
agitating some scheme for the public
welfare, and when, after ceaseless
toll, their efforts are crowned with
success, their columns are in most in
stances teeming with praise for the
part played by others, while the credit
due them for their splendid achieve
ments is never accorded.
When a gala day Of any sort Ia sug-
gested, the papers advertise it as no
other agency could, and the result is
the day is a great success. People
from all over the country flock to the
city and leave their money with the
city merchants.
Every business man is therefore in
dividuaIly profited by the enterprise
of the papers. Besides this, he nearly
always gets personal puff on his
float, his decorations or his particular
part in the festivities of the occasion.
If a city wants to secure q manufac-
turing concern, the papers, as usual,
are called upon to fght the battle of
industry for the city. II the citizens
pull with the papers, the enterprise is
located and the city is immensely
benefited. The factory gives people
employment, they pay their bills for
the matter they consume, and it starts
the ball of prosperity rolling.
Such enterprise and public spirit
ought to be appreciated. 1t costs a
great deal to publish papers, and space
is all they have to realize from. If,
then, they devote SO much of their
space freely to the upbuilding OF the
country the people certainly ought to
lend them all possible encouragement
and support. The papers are the
friends of the people.
They educate, ,agitate and advertise;
they teach the people to appreciate
enterprise and industry and to become
public spirited and they are the con-
stant guards and agents of prosperity.
Surely, then, the people owe them
support. Indeed, the support of the
press seems moral obligation, the
negligence of which would be little
short of a crime.
Business men owe it to the papers
to advertise. Private citizens owe it
to the papers to become subscribers.
It pays to patronize the papers if it
were not duty. Money spent In ad-
vertising is judiciously spent, is al
ways a paving investment,
