Support of the Brewers

ton circulation large enough to
attract advertisers. Add to this a
discreet appeal to every German So
clety in the country for support by
its members, and we could easily
count upon a national daily circula-

sure, would be circulation among
Germans and German Americans,

Attitude on Temperance
my attitude on the temperance
question is we'll known. For more than
twenty years. opposing the sale of
whiskey, | have advocated temperance
which | believe can be best promoted
by forbdding the sale of all alcoholic
spirits. permitting only the manufact-
ure and distribution of light wine and
beer in which the alcohol is reduced to
an lnnocuous percentage.
"These views | have advocated in
public speeches, in editorials and m
articles signed with my name in diff
ferent newspapers for more than twen-
ty years, and in my own newspaper,
The Washington Times since my pur-
chase of it.
Some look upon brewers as Grim
inals not to be dealt with. | look upon
them as citizens whose industry should
be encouraged, as in England and in
France. That industry. with concomi-
tant SUPPRESSION Of whiskey. would solve
the drink problem.

These views are not new. They are

pursuance of our recent conversa-
tom
The expense Of the war news
service. combined with a consider
anlc decrease in advertising, owing
TO business depression, has seriously
affected the financial status of several
newspapers in this city, already made
sufficiently precarious by the excess
slve competition of the last fifteen
years or so. With the standard price
OF the American newspaper down to
one penny they have shown a serious
loss on each copy sold. which had
to be met entirely out of advertising
profits. The consequence has been,
and this state Of affairs continues.
that most of the daily papers in New
York have been published at an an
nual loss which has had to be met
by constant loans in Wall Street,
which. as rule, is content to take
its profits indrect--in abstention
from hostility to its dongs if not in
positive support of them
"In the field Of the evening news
papers conditions are better. In fact,
the morning papers publishing also
evening editions look to the latter to
cover their losses and show profit.
Thus it is The Evening Journal
that earns much money, whereas
The New York American is run at
loss. The morning 'World comes
out about even. according to common
report, but The evening World
prospers. The morning Sun has
been heavy loser for many years;
under its new management it has
spent money so recklessly that it is
seriously embarrassed. But The
Evening Sun is an increasingly
sound business proposition.
"What is true of the morning
papers that issue no evening edi-
tion is also true Of the independ-
ent evening papers; that is, those
that have no connection with morn

proprietor considerably more than
