FIRST NEWSPAPERS HAD A MESSAGE-MOST MODERN
NEWSPAPERS ARE JUST MONEY-IAKING MACHINES
By N. D. Cochran, Editor of The Day Book.
When newspapers first started there thought of
advertising Every editor had message the people,
pered according the Importance and popularity his message
Now the average newspaper moneymaking machine for
its and the rarely the editor He hires editors
then directs them edit the paper Naturally enough
AS the profit from advertising the the
paper for the purpose of getting all the advertising he get
and the and editorial policy influenced by the demands Of
advertisers.
This is strange when you consider that is in the power
of organized advertisers the profit prosperous paper
into loss
AS rule editors and reporters have high ideals would
prefer newspapers for the benefit of the public but
obey orders from the business Office where the money
hunt another job
There are exceptions this rule of course and there many
newspapers that se to be dictated to by advertisers but such
newspapers strong with the people that advertisers have
advertise with them in order reach the public and sell their
goods.
After ALL however the people Of this country going
tmne the character Of their newspapers just they de-
tmned to have their the kind of government they
going have without regard the political parties.
newspapers with truthful message will suppant those that
published merely to make money out of advertising.
The people have instantaneous referendum their
papers, and that's part of this experiment have asked any
body agree subscribe for The Day Book for years

POURED HOUSES FOR PARIS.
Invention of M. D. Morrill, of This
City to Be Tried Abroad,

The system of building houses by pour
ed concrete which was devised by Milton
Dana Morrill,. architect, of this city and
carried out in the suburb of Virginia
Highlands, south of Arlington. is to be
adopted in one of the suburbs of Paris.
Mr.. Morrill, has Just returned from
that city, where he made a contract with
a company to provide outfits OF steel
forms used in the construction, which
will be shipped from this country.
1t is proposed by the Paris company to
build twenty houses of four. five and
six rooms, which are to be placed on the
market at from one to three thousand
dollars and sold on monthly payments,
following in this respect the plan which
is common in this city.

was formerly bleak waste of sand dune
Only the eastern part of the country and
the neighboring islands were considered
fit for agriculture. In addition to its
poverty in natural resources. the country
was further Impoverished by the Napo-
leonic wars In the early part of the
century. In the second half of
the nineteenth century Schleswig-Hol-
stein was taken by the Germans. Prac-
tically all Of it's commerce was gone. The
peasant farmers were in a most pitiful
condition. Yet today. less than a century
later. this same Denmark is. in proper
tion to it's population, the wealthiest coun-
try In Europe. Denmark is essentially
an agricultural country. 1t has an area
of about 100000 acres. More than 500
100000 worth of butter, eggs and meats
are exported by the farmers of Denmark
annually In 1908 the Danes had sos.
100000 in savings banks. Eighty y-nine
families out of every hundred own their
own farms and houses. The small amount
of tenancy is due to the fact that land
holdings can easily be acquired.

The Land in Denmark.
. The Peoria Star

From the Peoria Star.
Recently the authorities in Wisconsin
sent a commission to Denmark in order
to investigate the conditions in that coun-
try. Their report is instructive Because
it shows that the solution of the agricul-
tural problem is to give the producer the
entire product of his labor. 1t will be
noted that the entire situation is summed
up in the fact that land holding can be
easily acquired. Denmark is a bout one
fourth the size of Wisconsin. Much of it

A BAD MISTAKE
BY Alfred Powell.

Copyright by w. G. Chapman.)
When a bad man got into camp of
peaceful mining folk we used to put
him on a tree. That was ten years or
so back, when Alaska territory was in
the heyday.of its, youth. We don't do
that any more; we've got to be civil
ized. We give him a jury trial, and
if he's found guilty we give him an
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-04-19

Now there's all sorts OF bad men.
The bad man that you read about is
mostly yarn. Frank Porter-Mr.
Francis Porter-wasn't that sort of
man. He was quiet, gentle, soft
spoken young chap who kept good
deal to himself. When our piles of
gold dust began to get thinner and
thinner we'd swear good deal, but
nobody ever thought of suspecting
Porter, till he was caught red-handed,
coming out of Bill Jones hut with
half hatful.
The men were so mad they wanted
to hang him, but in the end justice
prevailed. He was tried and found
guilty We left him. his clothes and
gave him one hour to get out of I'm
perial City. The mercury was stand
ing at 20 below. Crouching, I'd call
it. Frank heard the call of the wild
and disappeared.
1t was twenty-three miles and lit
tie over to President, and he couldn't
have made it. Nobody could. How
ever, we didn't want to kill the lad
just to scare him into better manners
than taking an honest mans dust. So
Bill Jones, pretending that it was a
secret between them, took a private
message from him to the telegraph
Office to friend in Ordinary, fifteen
miles back of Imperial City, to come
along on the next coach and bring
him some grub. The coach would be
due that same afternoon that Francis
set out on his travels, and would
probably overtake him by ten in the
evening. Beyond a bad scare Mr..
Porter wouldn't come to any harm.
All of us knew this and we were
