COMMENT
AS 10 ADLESS PAPERS
ADLESS


The predicament in which newspa-
pers find themselves because of the
high cost of paper. emphasizes the
relative importance Of adless news
papers. What 1 say on this will an
swer the argument Of Charles B.
PeTiolat in favor of The Day Book
accepting the ads of small merchants
outside of the loop who cannot afford
to pay the high rates of the loop
press. The size Of newspapers that
accept advertising is regulated by
the amount Of advertising. AS the
volume of advertising increases, SO
does the number of pages. There is
a corresponding increase in compo-
sition, bookkeeping, circulation, de-
livery, etc. The volume Of advertis-
ing sets the scale.
A carrier carrying 100 copies of a
30-page Daily News starts out with a
load of so pounds. That same boy
would have no heavier load with $50
copies Of The Day Book. The big
ger the paper because Of advertising,
the fewer it takes to make a load for
wagon or delivery auto.
Without ads, The Day Book is the
same size every day. If I started inI
to take advertising would have to
cut down the amount of reading mat
ter or get a new press built so that
I might add more pages as advertis-
ing volume grew. AS circulation in
creased and with it the volume. of
advertising I would soon face the
same problem the other papers face
and I'd have to increase advertis-
ing rates. Rates might be low
enough for the small merchant at
the outset, but in time they would
climb until The Day Book would be
in competition with the loop press.
That would mean, ultimately, loop
rates, and the loop stores would
crowd the small merchants out, be-
cause they alone could afford loop

an advertising medium would prob
ably be as hoggish as anybody else
and sell my space to the highest bid
der. AS receipts from advertising
Outgrew receipts from readers, the
influence of the advertiser would
gradually assert itself, and The Day
Book would cease to be free. 1 never
knew a publisher who could wholly
escape that influence. There is a
never ending conflict between the
editorial and business departments.
It is a historic conflict. Editors al
ways struggling to be free from ad-
vertisers, and business and advertis-
ing managers struggling to make the
editor favor the advertisers.
don't say there is no advertising
in The Day Book. You can't print
any newspaper without advertising
somebody or something. But it isn't
paid for; it's free and is printed, not
for the benefit Of somebody in bust
ness, but for the benefit of readers.
To illustrate, the stories about elm
tolerance" in The Day Book was
good advertising for the owner Of the
show and for the theater. Doubtless
I could get big money for writing
such boosts for shows, just as
Hearst and Brisbane have. But these
stories in The Day Book didn't cost
anybody a cent. They were printed
as news.
AS for the small merchant, Pm
only interested in him as the under
dog compared with the State street
merchant who has too much pull
with the press. I haven't yet met a
small merchant who wouldn't be a
big one if he could. imagine any
one of them would rather run the
Field store. exactly as it is run now
than be a small merchant outside the
loop. 1t isn't the merchandising OF
the State street stores Pm kicking
about. It's their trick Of using their
Dull with the papers to get for them

Duane could not hear what 1t was he
how he struck Duane as sullen. until
suddenly he espied Miss Longstreth.
Then his face changed, and he re-
moved his sombrero. Duane went
closer.
Floyd. did you come with the
teams7" asked Longstreth, sharply.
Not me. rode n horse. good and
hard" was the reply.
Hump III have word to say to
you later" Then Longstreth turned
to his daughter. RAY. here's the
cousin I've told you about. You used
to play with him ten years ago
Floyd Lawson. Floyd. my daughter
and my niece. Ruth Herbert"
Duane always scrutinized everyone
he met. and now with dangerous
game to play, with consciousness of
Longstreth's unusual and significant
personality, he bent keen and
searching glance upon this Floyd
Lawson.
He was under thirty, yet gray at his
temples-dark. smooth-shaven. with
lines left by wildness, dissipation,
shadows under dark eyes. mouth
strong and bitter, and square chin
a reckless, careless, handsome. sinlst-
er face strangely losing the hardness
when he smiled. The grace of n
gentleman clung round him, seemed
like an echo in his mellow voice.
Duane doubted not that he, like many
young man, had drlfted out to the
frontier, where rough and wild life
had wrought sternly but had not quite
effaced the mark of good family.
Colonel Longstreth apparently did
not share the pleasure of his daughter
and his niece in the advent of this
cousin. Something hinged on this
meeting. Duane grew intensely curl
Gus, but, as the stage appeared ready
for the journey, he had no further OPP
portunity to crafty it.
The Elbert County tribune., 1916-12-15

Duane passed inside himself to
learn that supper would soon be
ready. AT table he found him
self opposite the three who had at
tracted his attention
Ruth, 1 envy the lucky cowboys"
Longstreth was saying.
Ruth was a curly-headed girl with
gray or hazel eyes. I'm crazy to
ride bronchos." she said
Duane gathered that she was on a
visit to western Texas. The other
girls deep voice, sweet like a bell.
made Duane regard her closer. She
did not resemble the Colonel, who
was evidently her father She looked
tired, quiet, even melancholy. A
finely chiseled oval face, that had
something nervous and delicate about
1t which made Duane think of a
thoroughbred, mouth by no means
small, but perfectly curved. and hair
like Jet proclaimed her beauty to

Ray Longstreth had just come to live
with her father. Longstreth had
originally been a planter in Louisiana.
where his family had remained after
his advent in the West. He was .
rich rancher; he owned half OF Fair
dale; he was cattle-buyer on n large
scale. Floyd Lawson was his lieuten-
ant and associate In deals.
On the afternoon of the fifth day
of Duane's stny in Fairdale he re-
turned to the inn from his usual stroll.
and upon entering was amazed to
have rough-looking young fellow
rush by him out of the door. Inside
Laramie was lying on the floor. with
bloody bruise on his face. He did
not appear to be dangerously hurt.
"Bo SneckerI He hit me and went
after the cash drawer" said Laramie,
laboring to his feet.
"Are you hurt much?" queried
Duane.
II guess not. But Bo needn't to
have soaked me. I've been robbed
before without that"
"Well. I'll take look after b."
replied Duane.
He went out and glanced down the
street toward the center of the town.
He did not see anyone he could take
for the innkeeper's assallant. Then
he looked up the street and he saw
the young fellow about block away.
hurrying along and gnzing back.
Dune yelled for him to stop and
started to go after him. Snecker
broke into run. Then Duane set
out to overhaul him. There were two
motives In Duane's action-one Of
anger, and the other desire to make
friend of this man Laramie, who
Duane believed could tell him much.
Duane was light on his feet, and
he had giant stride. He gained
rapidly. kept him In sight, in the
shade. on the paths. and up the road
into the courtyard. and he saw Sneck-
er go straight for Longstreth's house.
Duane was not to be turned back
by that. singular as 1t was. He en-
tered the first door and burst into the
presence of Miss Longstreth and a
number of young people. Evidently
she was giving little party.
Lawson stood leaning against one
Of the pillars; at sight OF Duane his
face changed remarkably, expressing
amazement. CONSERVATION. then fear.

and stood paralyzed at sight and
sound of the mayor OF Fairdale? This
was not nnswerable. There might
have been n number of reasons, all
to Colonel Longstreth's credit, but
Duane could not understand.
Next morning Duane walked up the
main street and back again. Just as
he arrived some horsemen rode up
to the inn and dismounted. And at
this juncture the Longstreth party
came out. Duane heard Colonel Long
saw him shake hands with a tall man.
Longstreth looked surprised and
angry. snd he spoke with force; tut
