Furthermore. we make no dis

Publishing a newspaper is a bust.
ness proposition Just as much as run
ming a grocery or bank or q drug
store. A newspaper must pay It's
hills. meet It's pay roll and ought to
have something left over at the end
OF the year Just as any other business
docs.
Unlike almost every business "a
newspaper Is called on for sort OF
public service for which no payment
In expected TO be made-that is. by
the person asking II. Recognized as
the medium for getting information
10 the public the EFFORT IL almost
daily made to use II for getting ovor
some special information with some
news value. but OF more particular
interest TO the person who asks for
Its publication. News In wanted by
. newspaper at all times. News is
sought for. hunted out. run down.
Thousands OF dollars are spent by In
dividuai newspapers every year for
news and papers will nsht for tho
opportunity to print news first. But
when news comes. m II 30 often does.
with the scent OF some special inter-
est or self seeking. then the news
paper becomes chary and holds on.
The question "Mhat IN news and
what In not news7" IL often a hard
one TO answer. Some years ago
national weekly published the defin-
itions of news submitted by editors
from all over the country and there
were almost IA many different ideas
expressed IA there were men 10 ex-
press them. However, the definition
is phrased though. editors will gen.
eraly agree whether the particular
item is or In not news. and II there
is any suggestion Of putting news
over for the purpose Of advertising
they will say II 10 not news.
The point was well brought out In
a recent letter from the editor OF a
California paper from which we re.
print the following paragraphs:
"It is true that by boosting the In
terests OF the San Joaquin Light and
Power Company In our columns we
would be rendering "A public service.
But II Is also true that by promoting
Mellin's Baby Food. We would be Of
fering a similar constructive service
TO the public. by urging the use OF
Nuxated Iron we would be Offering
public service; by advocating the
wearing OF the Munson Last Shoe we
would be doing a public service. BY
. advocating these things and a thous-
and others-the use OF electricity in
cluded-we would be rendering pub
lie service, and public service as you
and ! and every other ethical news
paper man with professional ideals
knows Is the primary purpose Of
every properly conducted newspaper.
However, as In the case where
Johns fist hits Georges nose. public
service leaves OF where private gain
begins--at least this IL true so far
as the Parlier Progress is concerned.
When news. or so-called news, or
plain uncamoufaged propaganda
reaches the Progress editorial desk.
the first question with us IL not,
Does II benefit the public?' Lut
rather, From what motive was This
prompted?--Was II primarily from
motive of public service or was il
from a motive OF private gain' And
II we decide that the matter in ques-
tion, whatever 1t may be, has been
prompted merely from mercenary in.

no you have been both amazed and
puzzled at what you have discovered
some men are kind and gentle with
their wives and yet give their dog .

only few. Perhaps you are one OF
the exceptions.
