NEWSPAPER INDEPEND.
ENCE

The newspapers of the state
are developing a degree of in.
dependence which would have
seemed impossible a few years
ago. For a long time news
papers. and country newspapers
especially, were in a condition
of practical slavery to a mum
Der of people, among them be-
ing their advertisers and the
ready-print houses. Emanci-
patton is not yet complete, but
it is we'll under way.
The practice of trading out
advertising is RAPIDLY falling
into disuse. The newspaper
man begins to realize that
space in his paper is a COM
modify which he has for sale,
which is the only thing aside
from his circulation that he has
for sale, and that that space
has a commercial value to him
which is as real as is the value
of a yard of cloth or a pound
of nails. He finds that as a
business man it is for him to
dispose of his space not for
washing machines which he
does not need. and corn shelters
that he cannot use, or for cats
and dogs of any kind or breed,
but for cash, He is getting the
cash and he is taking an intelli-
gent interest in what it costs
him to fill the space, 30 that he
can place a price on it in the
same businesslike manner that
would be adopted by any other
business man. He is showing
a disposition to keep his cost
down to the lowest possible
limit, and then to base his
charges on that cost, adding a
reasonable profit for himself,
again following the course that
any other sane business man
pursues.
Again, there was a time
when the country publisher
supposed that it was absolute
ly essential for him to furnish
his readers a lot of ready-print
matter, no matter what its
character, so long as the matter
filled the columns, and it was
taken as a matter of course
that the concern that supplied
this matter should load it up
with advertisements, the char
acter of which, and the price
received for which did not con-
Germ the publishers at all.
Hence the man who was trying
to run a paper which paid some
