one.. Take the town of Mott. Mott
has a good publication in the Pioneer
Press. It is publication which
would do credit to city, yet the
very fact that it looks prosperous
has led someone to propose second
newspaper for the town. The result
will be that the second paper, If it
has any merit, will simply draw from
the other papers patronage and either
reduce it's value as newspaper or
cause the publisher to lose money.
And the second newspaper can not
hope to reap much success.
