THE AFTERNOON PAPER;
IT REACHES THE HOMES

In a recent issue of the Brooklyn Eagle, julius Cham
bers in writing on The Afternoon Newspaper and It's
Transcendent Future says: During a chat with Mel
vile L. Stone, a few days ago, he made the Ito mel
amazing statement: There are not more than two morn
ing newspapers in New York that are paying expenses.
True, some of the other papers are pulled out of a hole
by their Sunday and evening editions, but the morning
newspaper has seen it's best day
AN expression of opinion from such an authoritative
source as the general manager of the Associated Press, :"
continues Mr.. Chambers, will surprise many people; but
the trend of business for several years has, been toward
the afternoon newspaper"
Mr.. Chambers argues that the geographical position
of the United States has much to do with the popularity
of the afternoon newspaper, because it gets not only the
cream of all the news that happens during the day of its
publication in this country, but it also gets much that
appears in the morning papers dated the following day
in Europe. Mr.. Chambers shows that because of the diff
ference in time an evening paper in San Francisco can
actually wait until the morning papers of the next day
are out in Europe and then print their news. OF course
this is not necessary, for the Associated Press furnishes
most of this news TO the afternoon papers earlier in the
day, but it shows how the principle works.
The cable and the development of the telegraph sys-
TENS, the fast presses, fast linotype and fast printing
machinery, are responsible for the growth of the evening
newspaper. II enables the paper to lay before its readers
at supper time the events of the entire world during the
day just closing, at the time the average reader wishes
his news. He has more time then for reading and the
news is fresher. Nearly all of the great events happen
during the daytime and are first chrOnicled in the even
ing papers while they are still fresh.
The average busy man has not time to enjoy a morn.
ing paper anyway, except on Sunday. He is always in a
hurry in the morning and has little time to sit down and
read, but when the evening paper is delivered at. his
home, filled with the fresh news of the day. he can sit
down and read it at his leisure, only a short time after
it has happened.
Then the women and chndren-what time have they
for the morning paper, with their mornings work and
the school? The evenings and Sundays are their leisure,
their reading hours.

ME REAL THENGS

This will be an editorial about real and unreal things.
We live in a real world. The ground under our feet, the
things that grow in it, men, women, everything we see is
real. To be sure there are real things that are unseen,
but the things that are seen are by no means unreal.
They are evident They are tangible.
There are some people who live, move and have
their being in unreality. They feed on fancies. Their
ways of life are artificial They hold to unreal beliefs.
They hope for unreal happiness. The genuine onends
them. They prefer unreal books. They like unreal plays.
Their woes are largely unreal. And even their joys are
affected.
Now there is a great charm in the real. The made
can never vie with the natural. Take a book, for exam
pie. The writer who can tell us truly about common.
place things, humdrum life, will write a book that is
worth while. Indeed, he who can cut out and frame for
us a section of ife-any life-is a master. That is what
Dickens did and Hugo and Tolstoi and Balzac.
OF all the people in this world, Americans ought to
be a real people We do things. We make things. We
lures and poems are way out of touch with our real
lives. They bark back too much. Note the magazine
articles. Aside from a very few real touches what a miss
the writer's make! The stuff lacks red blood. And the
stagel Aside from a very few pictures of American life
what a sham most of it is. And our artists give us lin
pressionist' pictures, imaginary pictures on a real can
vas.
Is it strange that with all the unreal influences about
us we should be led into unreal thinking, feeling and do
ing? Is it strange we should drift into a sham standard
of morals? Instead of the ten commandments We are
learning only one-dont get caught. Instead of straight
up and down morals we have business ethics" Stealing
we call graft" and wink the other eye. We have an
unreal standard of s-uccess-money. Our unreal idea of
happiness is to get wealth and leisure. Instead OF char
acter we try for reputation. And so on.
