POWER or THE PRESS"


Speaking before the National Press
club in Washington the other day
Frederic J. Haskin gave some figures
70 indicate the enormous proportions
which the development of the news
paper business has reached in this
country.
Some idea Of the magnitude Of the
newspaper business said Mr. Haskin,
may BE- had from the statement that
the total daily circulation OF all the
dailies in this country is now 22,OOO,O 600
copies-one for every four persons in
our population. Making allowances for
duplication and for infants and litter.
atea, Il is estimated that three out OF
every four persons in our population
read some newspaper every day News.
papers are now printed in thirty-five
languages In the United States. In the
amount Of capital invested the publish.
ing business for some time has stood
seventh among all American industries
and ID Is probable that the new census
win show a gain to fifth or even
fourth place. From these facts 1t will
be seen that the power Of the press is
no misnomer.

the fuel supply is probably the most
important item and IN this respect Ok
lahoma Is certainly fortunate We
have probably more natural gas In

gas to supply several times the pres

yield Of petroleum usually outlasts that
Of the gas for many years and when
this is exhausted We have in reserve
more coal than any other state in the
southwest. The u. S. Geological Sur

In addition TO coal, oil and gas, Ok
lahoma has abundant water power fa-

these reports and others which are in
preparation upon claps, structural ma
