RUNNING A NEWSPAPER.

RUNNING A NEWSPAPER.
Recently a most excellent news
paper published at Eugene was
forced to so into the hands Of a re-
ceiver. Its income did not cover the
expenses. consequently something
had to pop. The receiver who sue
ceeded the former publisher in the
management of the paper had been
on the job only few days when he
made q number of discoveries. the
following appearing in the editorial
columns of the Guard as a conse-
Quence:
The average citizen in any COM
munity has little conception of the
newspaper business. nor does he ap-
preciate the fact that newspapers do
more to advertise community than
all other agencies combined. He is
unmindful that. as a business, it is
the most generous in his town.
THE dollar spent by the adver-
tiser or the subscriber represents
something more than space or the
purchase price OF the copies Of the
publication delivered day after day.
The money spent by the city and
county in the publication of official
notices is returned many fold, Such
transactions are not a matter of SHOW
ing your money across the counter
and taking, all you are going to get
home with you. You not only get
your moneys worth when you spend
your dollar with your newspaper, but
you make an investment which will
continue to bear interest, accumu-
lating, indirectly. to you account.
"The newspaper is quasi-public by
its nature. There is always a ques-
tion about where 1t should and where
1t should not accept money for some
service it performs. Too often, 1t
fails to accept the money.
'The church is given more free
space in the newspapers than any
other institution. This is because
the publisher believes in the church
and that its activities constitute a
great influence for good in the COM
munity. But there is no reason why
the church should not pay for busi-
ness announcements such as those ad-
vertising money-making activities.
What can be said Of the church
and what it should or should not pay
for, can be said of lodges, clubs and
various societies which come under
the heading Of organizations in con-
nection with which there is always
a large amount Of matter which can
be properly classed as news.
1T will be the policy of the Guard
in the future to print all the news
and to print 1t when 1t Is news, but
an established charge will ibe made
for all signed notices which extend
an invitation, announcements adver-
tising any money-making activity by
any church, lodge or society, political
announcements, cards OF thanks, obi
tuaries offered for publication after
accounts of deaths or funerals have
ceased to be news, and matter Of
similar character. There may be
exceptions to this rule in the case Of
a city-wide charity or an unusual
case, but only then. Il purposes, how
ever, to draw the line sharply be-
tween advertising and news matter.
This Is business. II is In the In
terest Of maintaining high stand
ard newspaper which will be a credit
for the people who build II, the people
who pay for II, and the city ITSELF"

LONDON. May 2S.-Suppose an an
gel were TO celebrate Empire, Day by
coming down to have look at Eng
iapd. and we were TO ask the angels
advice In regard to the difficulty We
are in at the moment--the difficulty
OF economy sufficient to meet the ex-
penses Of this tremendous war? Well,
the angel, being an innocent person.
would Immediately say:
1t Is very simple to stop the war"
But we should have to reply to the
angel
we are very sorry we cannot stop
the war. We didn't begin the war
The war was practically forced upon
us and We have got TO go through with
the war and come out at the end in
tho best way we can"
In other words. We cannot stop the
war until the enemy has had enough
or 1t. And we will find in the mean
while that every combatant has con-
ceaIed to the best OF his ability the
fact he already mas had enough OF 1t
and VIII be very glad when II is over.
Both parties are TO go right on un-
I'll they both see some way out of the
dithculty. either way out by being
hopelessly defeated or being trum-
phantly victorious. or having to adj
nit that neither defeat nor victory la
possible. So the angels advice is no
use. We cannot stop the war, and we
have got to consider how best we can
orEa nize ourselves to meet expenses
Now one thing | will deal with is
by far OF the greatest interest That
Is the vital industry Of the production
OF babies. Now. what is the price OF
baby: or course every poor man
says he has too many babies. and the
frst thing that stupid people think Of
In economy is the question OF cutting
down the number of children.
WOULD END DIFFICULTIES.
BUT ALSO END ENGLAND
Many people think England would
be saved If we stopped having babies
altogether. Well. certainly 1t would
make an end TO all our problems and
difficulties. but Il would also make an
end of England.
Now child is really an asset. 1t
is like scrap OF capital for wealth

ROME, April 2.-One of the
largest public assemblages since,

Prime Minister Asquith, of Great
Britain who is at present in the

Closely following the announce

commenced to gather and rapidly
swelled to a vast concourse fill

ton. After repeated cheering
Asquith appeared on the balcony
to salute the throng and was CIV

ovations accorded to a foreigner
in recent years. Asquith deliv-
cred a short address, assuring the
people that the entente allies were

was won and right was again tri-
