The Editor Of Big Chicago Daily
Says Country Should Read
Local Papers First.

The editor of Hearst's Chicago
American, one of the most influential
newspapers in America or anywhere
in the world today, recently discussed
the merits of the local paper in small
villages and cities ss compared with
his own or other large metropolitan
dailies in way that is decidedly
unique In the light of the strife and
greed and keen competition of the day
The following is what he wrote:
ut would be q big misfortune tc
the country If the few big papers in
the big cities should interfere serious
ly with the publication of the valuable
and intelligent local newspapers, fo1
upon these local newspapers the vel.
fare of the country very largely de.
ponds. The metropolitan daily can.
not possibly know the needs of the
vari0ns localities and small cities.
Only the local newspapers can protect
local needs and influence local public
opinion. OF course we are very glad
to have as many people as possible to
read the Chicago American, in the big
cities and in the little cities. But We
hope that in every small town and
every village there will be enough In
telligence and public spirit on tho par,
of the local Inhabitants to support the
best local newspaper, giving encour.
aging appreciation and q good living
to the editor, who alone can represen,
and defend justice and public spirit
among his neighbors. The man is un.
fortunate who cannot afford to take
two newspapers, 1t todsy's prices.
The man who can afford only one
newspaper, in our opinion, should dis
play his public spirit and his sense Of
duty to his locality by taking the 10
cal newspaper.

In Claude Duval's time he had a

had to examine the printing every time

polite when he robbed duchess, he
used to kill people all right, though if
they had had cameras at that time
