NEWSPAPER ECONOMY.


The passing of the Sioux City Daily
News, after an ineffective effort at re-
organization. is in line with the ten
dencE OF the times. The prevailing
principle demands the elimination OF
inefficient competition. 1t Is working
out in the large cities, where there has
been steady stream OF daily newspa
per suspensions and consultations
The same force has been at work
among small town dailies and country
Weeklles. Everywhere the trend is
toward fewer, better and more eco.
nomically conducted newspapers Gen
orally this application of the rule OF
survival Of the fittest has been well
coined by all communities that have
been relieved Of the burden OF main
tanning wasteful competition in the
newspaper field
The increased cost Of newspaperine
is partly responsible for numerous re-
cent decisions to give up the fight or
the part OF struggling newspapers. As
consequence Of the war and its ef-
fets upon other Industries, newspaper
cost OF production has increased sub.
stantiaily within the last two wear.
The new conditions have tested the
resources Of strongly intrenchec
newspapers. Newspapers that were
merely struggling along under norma
conditions have found themselves un.
able to keep up the fight under recent
abnormal conditions
However, the higher cost Of opera
ton is not the only influence back Of
the new tendency. In fact. 1t is not the
most important one. The newspape,

PRIVATE BANK INSPECTION.
dubuque Times Journal

1t is gratifying to note there is a
growing sentiment in Iowa for the
passage of law calling for inspec-
ton OF private banks. The next SEES
sion Of the Iowa legislature is urged
TO take the matter up again and act
in the interest of all the people and
not the private bankers who have
peen killing off this needed legisla
ton through powerful lobby.
lowa's laXity in allowing private
banks to run without inspection is
outrageous. Under existing conditions
anybody can start private bank and
receive deposits. No protection what
ever is given depositors. A private
banker, if he be dishonest, can rake
in large amount of money and do
as he pleases with it. The depositor
has no protection. II dishonest pri-
vate banker gets away with the de-
posts he may be sent to prison for
snort term, but that is poor satisfac-
ton to the depositor who loses money.
A law requiring a rigid examina-
ton of the affairs of private banks is
urgent. The honest private banker
need not fear it. The examination
would hit only those who handle the
money of depositors lightly.

Church-going Is an old-fashioned
habit which would be more useful

much modern church going is that
it doesn't strike deep enough to get
people out to the divine service on

go to church and listen TO a sermon

Waterbury watch. Nobody stayed
away from church on Sunday m orn-
ing unless he was totally paralyzed
or the church had been burned down
the night before. In those lays
church. going was duty which no.
body could escape unless he had
contracted diphtheria in both ton
sils, and as result the minister
was not obliged to look into the
faces of cold, empty pews and
yawning profiles, as is so often the
case today.

Is something about an automobile
which removes a mans mind from
the church and everything else ex-
cept the cost OF upkeep. After an
active church goer has owned an au-
tomobile for few weeks and come
in contact with its massive and

ginning Of the story. Church adver-
Using should not only tell Of the work
Of the church, but should make men
understand its spirit. There is dis
tinct value in paying for advertising
space in newspaper. Such advertis-
ing begets confidence in the church
on the part of the public. We have no
right to look upon daily newspaper
as a philanthropic enterprise. 1t is
usually conducted upon a business
basis. If the church receive direct
benefit from newspaped advertising,
it should be willing to pay for it, just
as it pays for its coal and gas and
general upkeep-The Christian Regis

but he says that the smelter will
need all 1t can get. The silica want
ed should run about So percent and

to pay for the mining and transporta-

silica but It is desired to get It where
