Judged by It's Readers.

The reader is the all-important consider
alton in making a newspaper. First. to Sc
cure him a reader, and second, to hold
him. To make newspaper that will each
day possess absorbing interest to him. that
he will look forward to- and that he will
finally come to regard that if for day
he fails to see his favorite paper he will
feel that he has grown out of touch with
the world. When the reading public read
a newspaper clear through-and by the
reading public l mean all the members of
the famiy-then that newspaper becomes
of great value to the advertiser no matter
whether he deals in hats or parasols, in
cigars corsets, printing or pianos, real
estate or candy.
There is such thing. there should be
no such thing, as "a mans paper pure
and simple 1t is the woman who dictates
what paper shall be taken in the family.
The true family paper is read by all the
members of the family. The Star is read
just as regularly and as earnestly by the
men as by the women. The men usually
read it first; great many of them buy it
and read it on the cars on their way home.
Some of them have it served at their offices
and take it home with them.
Two-thirds of its circulation is delivered
at the door of regular subscribers by car
riers, and one-third goes into the homes by
other means But more than % per cent
of the circulation of The Star goes directly
into the homes of Washington and that is
the most important part of the proposition
The men of the family are really not as
important as the women of the family
when a newspaper is considered from the
average advertisers point of view, for the

people of Washington The Star is by far
the best advertising medium.
Considered, therefore. from any point of
view. The Star is the medium which reach
es the entire purchasing public of Washing
ton. l did not intend, when l began, to go
deeply into a discussion of the value of
The Star as an advertising medium, for
the value of any advertising medium is de-
termined by those that advertise in it. and
the story of The Star in this respect has
been so fully told by the advertisers of
Washington that it leaves nothing for us
to say here at the office But any thorough
analysis of journalism involves discussion
of the factors which make a newspaper
constantly read by it's constituency, and in
wolves discussion from which cannot be

with the paper in making its pages attrac-
I've, and in a common cause. For this
reason it has discouraged the use of large.
black type and of grotesque effects that
would destroy the practical beauty of its
pages.
The Star has been more than gratified at
the spirit of cooperation on the part of the
advertisers of the city of Washington. They
have entered into the spirit of under
taking, ard as the years rolled by, and
their advertisements have increased in num-
Der and size, they have become better and
more artistic, more attractive and more eff
fective. 1t is said. and I believe it is true
that nowhere in the world is advertising as
attractive and effective as it is in Wash
ington, and The Star is proud and pleased
to have done its part.

Business Manager
women the buying committee of the
family Eighty-five per cent of the mil
lions of dollars earned by the bread win
ners of the Washington families is spent by
the direct dictation of the women. Since
the beginning of the family cat least since
the family wore clothing and bought food
the purchasing department has been large
ly delegated to the mother, the wife and
the sister, and into their hands has been
paid, and rightly, an overwhelmingly large
proportion of all money that has been
earned by the men of every civilized COM
munity on the face of the earth.
Therefore, the advertiser is more interest
ed in reaching the women of the commu-
nifty than he is in reaching the men. But
through The Star he reaches both. large
majority of the advertisers in The Star
have certified that it reaches everybody in
Washington both the men and the women
the rich and the middle classes the Young
and the old, those who toll and those who
do not toll and that therefore for any ar

material with which to make its columns
interesting to it's constituency six days in
the week, fifty-twO weeks in the year.
The Star has never resorted to any
methods except those tending to the making
of a good newspaper. 1t has obtained none
of it's circulation by outside ventures, such
as guessing matches, missing word contests,
the giving away of pictures or books, or
chewing gum through the medium of cOu-
pons and other ciap-trap devices. A circu-
lation of that sort is not considered valu-
able, and it is certainly not of a kind that
is permanent When you give a man a
prize for taking the paper, he takes the
paper for the sake of getting the prize
People take The Star because it is itself
the prize.
The Star does not resort to subterfuge in
filling its columns. If it appears to be a
large newspaper. it is a large newspaper
Every inch of its space has value, and must
be filled with matter worth the space it oc-
