MONIES NEWS SERVICE.

At the mass meeting MondaH night concerning the news service If Inc local papers. while tempered in tone and Of reflective rather than de- nunclatOry nature nevertheless brings 10 mind the fact that the public gen eraily seldom appreciates the full value Df the efforts eXerted bH the average newspaper to furnish the news In the main, they expect the newspaper to furnish a service which embraces from Dan to Bfcrsheba regardless of the fact that newspaper. like any other business must be run at 4 profit Tn order 10 continue in existence. and also of the more important fact, that news costs money. Especially in those cases where there is competition this insistcnre on the part of the public forces the newspaper 10 furnish 4 service which in many cases is far from compatible with the amount of support given in the way of sub- scriptions and advertising II is easy 10 furnish the news if the necessary costs are forthcoming and there is practically no limit to the amount of news which q newspaper can secure providing that 1t can find the money to pay for 1t.
 Generally speaking. the quantity of news furnished is all dependant on tho amount of support given 10 the paper. If the support is slight the quantity of news must necessarily be small and but little increase is pos sibie without # proportionate increase in the patronage extended. Generally speaking, the average paper doing business in 4 small town strains it's ing 10 answer the unsuitable demandS of the public for news In the main the demand is for quantity rather than quality and the newspaper is therefore compelled to embrace as many sub jects as possible within the scope of its service with n consequent lessening of the amount of detail accompanying each story. This necessarily results at times in reducing tho items to Il degree of brcvity wherein only the most salient features are preserved and, in giving the same to the public the paper Is necessarily restricted 10 publishing only the barest outlines of tho subject. This absence of detail was wo believe. the animating cause of tho remarks referred 10 but, as has been pointed out the demand for wide rauge of news entails a sacrifice of detail which at times results in .il- ing the article in most tantailizing obscurity.
