NOT For WAR.

Inasmuch as the great reading pub
lie has but faint notion Of the cost
and labor necessary to the issuing
OF daily newspaper. it is not sur
Iprsing that most people imagine that
newspapers welcome SO stupendous
and horrible an event as an European
war. The popular idea is, OF course,
that the increased circulation due to
! the important news makes newspaper
publishers rapidly grow rich. The
contrary is the fact
The trade paper the Editor and
Publisher" sets forth the facts when
/ il says:
1T takes a lot OF money to pay
cable tolls alone. Expenses increase
out OF all proportion to return from
sales or advertising. But the people
want the latest news and the papers
must give 1t. And only the man on
the inside knows how great is the
strain upon every department of the
paper; how editors, sub-editors, re-
porters, proofreaders, compositors,

concern Of countless millions all over
! the earth.
And as war stun overshadows
everything else, other news is curtail-

what it may have cost. No, indeed,
