WANTS SUNDAY DAY BOOK

WAN = SONDHI DH1 BUM
How about a Seventh Day Book? We
get The Day Book six days a week
and it is so good, so nOurishing to
the heart and mind, that a great void
is felt. by its absence on the seventh
day. | remember some time ago
somebody asked why The Day Book
is not issued on Sunday, and the
editor answered that The Day Book
workers need rest on Sunday as well
as everybody, which answer is in
controvertible. But it is not at all
necessary that they should work on
Sunday in order to give us a Sunday
edition. Don't we get The Saturday
Evening Post on Thursday? Are not
the so-called Sunday papers on the
newsstands Saturday? Why then
cannot a Seventh Day Book be pre-
pared during the week and offered
to us Saturday for Sunday enjoy
ment? The question whether it
would be in demand need hardly be
asked
The demand for The Day Book is
two fold. First, it is desirable to read
it's true news and it's fair and just
editorial opinion. Secondly, it is in
demand as an organ of public express
sion, in whose Public Forum every
body, without exception, can express
his or her opinion on any topic I'M
hindered and unrestricted, except as
to length.
Now, everybody will agree that the
editorial page of The Day Book is
much too short, and that a great
many more such pages could be prof
itably digested by its readers. Print
such editorial pages in The Seventh
Day Book and we'll grab it.
Again, the demand for space in
The Public Forum is growing. The
few pages so literally placed at the
public's disposal are hardly adequate
to the tendency of The Day Book

If the government, which is the

value of all the land and shall abol-

UNION ADS IN TRUST PAPERS.

i would like to ask why labor
unions Especially members of the
building trades) use the columns of
trust papers to notify members of
meetings when they can use a pa
per carrying the union label - The
Day Book-free of charge.
AS this little friend of the work
ingman" can be obtained in any part
of Chicago, why should not the sec
retaries of the various unions use its
columns, and not compel union men
to buy a trust paper to find out when
their next meeting will be held?
Readers of The Day Book should
take this matter up at their next
union meeting and so instruct their
officers.
The above is my idea how to help
our" paper increase its circulation.

The more this country hears about Won

impression that they were permitted to re-

that they were the authorized representatives
