JOURNALISM IN JAPAN

According to an article in the Ori-
entail Economic Review there are more
than 1900 newspapers and magazines
in Japan. Every town of 10000 or more
has one newspaper, and usually two or
more.
The leading Toxic daily claims" a
circulation of 100000; the Asahi and
the Mainichi of Osaka claim" a daily
circulation of 250,0 900.
journalism in Japan Is nearly 800
years old, but the publication of news
papers there as distinct enterprise Is
comparatively recent. Until after the
middle of the nineteenth century such
news sheets as were published were
somewhat of the nature of bulletins
roughly printed from wooden blocks
and issued at irregular times by any
one who saw fit to have them pre-
pared.
The first of the great dailies of later
times, was the Yokohama Mainichl
Shimbun, which made it's first appear
ance about 40 years ago. 1t was after
ward moved to Toxic, where it Is still
published as the Toxic Mainichi. 9th
ers followed soon after in different
cities and the names of some of these
publications are as well known to the
world at large as are the names of the
newspapers of France and Germany.
Inc writer or the article quoted notes
that formerly all Important newspapers
considered 1t necessary to have leaders
and the more important of the special
articles written in the dignified but cold
Sinioo-Japanese style of writing. Now
many of these papers do not consider it
beneath their dignity to write their edi-
torial articles In the easy coloquial style
which even a schoolboy can understand.
The news matter is entirely in the pop
ular style"
The press of Japan is as free as that
of any other civilized country, and no
restraint whatever is placed on the dis
cussion of public affairs as long as there
Is no offense to public morals and no mem
ace to public order. The Japanese press
law of May 16, 1909, reads:

Most of the leading dailies' of Toxic

take their partisan politics at about tho

much space to foreign news and have cor
respondents in all the great cities of the

news from China, but with most of the

From the New York Times.
A few years ago the motorist having
the means to purchase a motor car and
deciding to make the investment found
later that the upkeep expense proved
such drain on his income as to make
1t necessary for him to dispose of the car
after one or two seasons use. 1t was not
uncommon to find the cost of mainte-
nance and operation to be actually
greater than the cost of the car itself.
Not only was the cost for repairs and re-
placements excessive, but incidental
charges connected with its operation,
