LONG DISTANCE NEWSPAPER
PUBLISHING.

Owner Frank A. Munsey Of chain
of newspapers throughout the eastern
section of the country makes another
proposal of change with the veteran Bos-
| the price to three cents a copy. In
announcing his plans, Mr.. Munsey frank
ly states that the newspaper property
is not paying venture at one cent and
| if the public does not evince interest
in the paper as three-cent proposition
he shall cease publication of it. This
is another indication of the trend OF
the present day toward higher priced
newspaper, and in the case of morn
ing newspaper OF such large pretensions
as The journal it is not an unreasonable
trend, either. The demands OF the pub
lie have grown to such an extent that
it is rarely that morning newspaper
can meet those demands at one cent;
and it is only when the one cent paper
is backed up by great circulation with
its attendant advertising clientele that
the venture can be made to pay.
However, there is another feature crop
ping out of Mr.. Munsey's announce
ment which may account for some of
the lack of success Of his journal. and
that is his appeal to "you New England
ers," in which he entirely disassociates
himself from the field in which he has
made an investment venture and talks
to the people as an outsider talks. In
other words, the publisher betrays feel
ing that he is not one of them-that is. |
New Englanders-and that he is running !

lie which he strives to interest and bound /
to them merely by the ties of ven.
ture in business. In these days of the
impersonal journalism, that situation
does not perhaps make so much differ
ence as it would have made in the DAYS
of Horace Greeley, but it still is quite
a powerful influence among many people
who wish to feel that the publishe' OF
the newspaper which they read is one of
them, feeling as they feel and meeting
coming problems jointly. Possibly this
may account in part for the not over
cordial reception to Mr.. Munsey in the
'overnewspapered' field in Boston.

Hulett of Rutland.

The Vermont General assembly which
ended the longest term in the history
of Vermont last Saturday, was gener-
ally recognized as having no leader Of
commanding eloquence, sauvity of polit-
ical tinesse. By some people it is to
be attributed to this that the legisla-
ture term was so long and in some par
ticulars unsatisfactory. This may be
true. But this city has every reason
to feel sense of pride in the position
taken by its representative, w. ID. HUI.
lett, on most OF the questions of i'm
portance that came before the house. Ii
may, perhaps, be said that Mr.. Hulett
lacked only one element OF leadership,
that of political finesse. Rutland knew
when it elected its representative that
he was a man of sincerity and perhaps
blnntness Of speech. He certainly was
not man given to any comparison with
his convictions. Had he been Smooth.

Better Methods of Figuring.

quality producing manufacturers, to each
OF whom he sent the same specifications
for estimate. There was variation Of
only seventy dollars between the lowest

was no collision between those manu-.

it is good evidence that there has been
a wonderful improvement in the BUSH

Vermont has received all it could hope
for in the line of appropriations for
public buildings, with assurances of a
new federal building at st. Johnsbury
new structure at Richford and in
creased expenditures at Brattleboro.
But it may be said also that Vermont
has been very modest in its requests for
governmental assistance; in few, if any,
cases are requests made for federal
buildings when the buildings are not
really needed. There is no wholesale
graspng on the part of the cities or
towns of the state, and possibly that is
one reason why the Vermont delega
ton in Congress meets with such good
success in assisting toward securing the
appropriations that are sought.
