Newspaper Talk No. l

In broad sense there is little quality dis
tinction in metropolitan newspaper circulation
Except in few large cities there is not enough of
any one class except the masses" to support gen.
eral newspapers. For the same reason there are
few class stores THE EVENING JOURNAL not
only HAS general circulation among all classes,
but being a general newspaper il desires and has
secured circulation representation among all
classes TO meet the needs of local and national ad-
vertisers.
In the beginning of the development of after
noon newspapers with the advantage of prestige
the morning papers reached the upper
classes principally. Afternoon newspapers made
newspaper readers of the masses. Morning
newspapers we're conservative and heavy. AS
the universaty of the afternoon newspaper
appeal became known to the publishers, and the
commercial superiority of the afternoon field
established, afternoon newspapers, like THE
JOURNAL broadened their appeal TO reach all
classes Following this idea the character of THE
JOURNAL has been raised in all journalistic essen
tials to parity with any newspaper in the coun-
try in city the size of Wilmington.
The Value of Advertising Space
Now to the value of advertising space, the
keen and knowing buyer of space has eliminated
from his calculations every factor except
QUANTITY OF CIRCULATION Both publishers
and advertisers have come to know from the ex-
perence of spending thousands of dollars, that
$4,000 newspaper circulation is worth approxi-
mately twice as much 1000 circulation in the
same newspaper field
thousand readers of THE EVENING
JOURNAL will produce the same advertising
suits as one thousand circulation of another news
paper in the same field.
Superiority Of Afternoon Papers
There is a distinction however, in circulation
VALUE which is generally recognized as of inn
portance second only to quantity Of circulation
THE SUPERIORITY OF AFTERNOON NEWS
PAPER SPACE FOR ADVERTISING RESULTS;
due not to the kind of people who read afternoon
or morning papers, but to psychological reasons
In a broad sense 1900 afternoon newspaper circu-
lation is WORTH the basis of results, as deter
mined by many tests as much as 10000 morning
circulation or 25 per cent. more. Many people,
particularly habtual shoppers read advertising
Systematically, others read it because they en-
counter it incidentally in their perusal of the
news. Newspaper readers are attracted to news
paper advertising (which is distasteful only to
occasional crank through their search for the
news. 1T is OBVIOUS, THEREFORE, THAT

POLICY HAS CHANGED
No More Investigation of Controller
Bay Is Necessary.

Washing ton, New 29.-On the
ground that the administration has
substantially changed its announced
Alaskan policy, Attorney Louis ID.
Brandeis. counsel for the house com
mlttee on interior department ex-
penditures, has advised Chairman
Graham that no further action by that
committee in investigating Controller
Bay affairs is necessary. Chairman
Graham said the committee very ma
terially aided in effecting this change
of policy and added: 1.-The committee
may go further than Secretary of the
tanning TO the government the title to
all the mineral, gas and oil lands in
Alaska"
The committee may meet within
week and decide whether to wind up
its investigation. THE committee ac-
complished its principal purpose said
Chairman Graham. That purpose was
to determine whether valuable public
interests in Alaska were being subject
ed to syndicate exploitation, a condi-
ton rendered probable by the revela-
tions in the BalHnger investiga ton"
The committee action riveted public
attention on Alaska affairs and IN
doubtedly was the moving cause of
Secretary Fishers visit there last sum-
mer. On his return in a formal adj
dress authorized by the president he
views about Alaskan mat
tiers which constitute q clear departure
from the administration former policy
and in substantial conformity with the
committees views.
Brandeis's Letter.
Attorney Brandeis in his letter to the
committee dated November q says that
Secretary Fishers recommendation for
prompt development against private
monopoly through the coal mine lease
system the gov eminent construction
and operation of railroad and the
operation of a governme nt owned coal
mine brings the administration into
accord with the principles underlying
the LaFollette resolution, the Poindex-
ter bill and the Robinson works bill
in congress.
He added that he found no evidence
of illegality or bad faith by any gov
eminent official in the elimination from
the Chugach national forest of a large
tract OF Controller bay in aid of the
Controller Railroad company. though
that elimination was opposed to the
best interests of the people. Amos Pin
chot, counsel for the National Conser-
walton association, who aided in Mr..
Brandeis' investigation, authorized him
to say that he concurred in the views
made public today.
