Always Staunch
And True

The Denver Republican has al
ways avoided the fallacies and
knaveries of yellow journalism,
and its steadily increasing Circula-
ton proves conclusively that its
policy of telling the plain Truth
without exaggeration or nisrepre-
sentation, standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does a positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commu-
nifty.
In no other way can the invest
ment of ~ cents per day
for that is all The Republican
costs any subscriber-bring such
rich results in that knowledge
which is both Power and Pleasure.
Information, instruction and en-
tertainment fill its columns and it
leaves a good taste in the mouth
OF the reader.

The extent to which the post

office department (William A. Ash.
brook, chairman) concerning the vol
ume, weight and handling of the out
put of publications entered as mail
matter of the second-class for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1911:
Inquiry was made of all publish
ers, approximating thirty thousand, of
which nearly seventeen thousand are
weekly publications.
More than ten thousand returns
were received, embracing sixty-six
plus per cent. Of all tonnage of pub,

islation doubling the second-class rate

limiting the privilege to publications
that carry as much reading matter as
they do advertising.
"The proposition was stupid enough

preposterous in face of surplus.
What business has transporta-
ton corporation, which is all the post
office Is, to prescribe how a business
shall be conducted?
Newspapers cannot afford to ex-
pand their columns beyond the call
of the days news, nor can they be
expected to control the requirements
OF their advertisers who have a right
to reach the public as copiously as
they care to.
1T cannot be assumed that such

But publishers are requested to fight

1901 crop of 100000 was consid-

called on to make good a shortage of

we must grow 13,500,000.
