UNPROFITABLE PROPERTIES
Many Newspapers Have Hard Struggle For
Existence.

Ii has long been recognized that there
are too many newspapers in tins cUln-
try already, and many ot those being
pnblished in the smaller cities and
towns have Il hard struggle for existence
It's easy enough to start a newspaper,
but it's frequently hard enough to keep
the thing going. People with ambition
TO crafty. or with grievances TO redress
or with schemes to promote, can easily
imagine that Il clamOrOus public demand
exists for new paper in the community.
They forget that the reading men or
women don't change their newspaper
habits over night any more than they
cast of one set of friends and take on
another set between sunset and dawn.
Millions OF dollars have been expended in
the United States during the past ten
wears in starting superfuous papers, in
irving to keep their heads above water,
and in administering by hyperdermic
injection of cold cash. When the back
ers get tired of the hopeless struggle,
suspension or sale or merger with some
other publication takes place. The
situation recalls Horace Greeley's poem:
Man NapOr
Full Of woes;
Starts a paper
Up she goes.
The business Of starting newspapers
has been tremendously overdone. In
many communities may be found more
Journals than are needed, more than can
be supported and more than the public
has any use for An incidental result is
that millions of dollars are annually
spent trying TO bolster up unproiitablt
nroperties. Alexandria Gazette.
