LOCAL NEWSPAPER A NECES-
SITY

There are three most potent factors
in the life, growth and development
of a community. They are, the
Church, the School and the News
paper, and this is in the order of i'm
portance.
It is not our purpose here to eulo
gize.
We will pass over the first two OF
these factors, and perhaps treat OF
them later. If the churches were
thrown out of this community nc
selfrespecting person could stay
here. With all our material prosper
ity we would soon drop back to con-
ditions such as ancient Rome wit
messed And if the schools were dis
continued material progress would
also stop and we would sink beyond
redemption.
The church is a public institution
and is supported by voluntary con-
tributions. The school is also pub
lie institution and is supported by
the state through taxation. The
newspaper is a semi-public institution
but receives no public support but
has to earn it's livelihood through the
regular channels of competitive bus
ness.
It Is of the newspaper that we
wish now to speak.
If all of the newspapers and other
periodicals were discontinued today
the effect would be somewhat similar
to mighty plague sweeping over the
land. Darkness would creep in, the
darkness of intellect, as people would
remain in ignorance of the happen
ings in localities only few miles
distant. Business would slow down,
and telegraphic communication would
soon fall into disuse because no slim
illus would come from newspaperdom.
Even the postofice receipts would
dwindle for much of its revenue
comes in direct response to adver-
Using.
The newspaper is the third great
agency in the advancement of civili-
cation, yet it is underestimate more
often than the first too. 1t is too
often treated as merely a business
proposition. Few people seem ever
to get the vision that the true-blue
editor has of using business to ad-
vance the interests of whole COM
munity. The preacher has one job
Ito preach; the teacher has one job
to teach; but the editor, if he be
true, has triple Job, and that is to
preach, and teach, and hardest of all
and with 1t all, too, to meet his weekly
pay roll and pay other costs of pro-
duction, and try to get comfortable
living-and we all have a right to
that.
Omitting the church and the school
we can make claim without exag-
geration, that true newspaper is of
more real Importance, ones more
good with less money, gives more for
less money than any other business
in a community. 1t is true that some
will point to large industrial plants
that flourish in the community and
say that those concerns with their big
pay rolls form the life of the COM
munity. This we answer is only APP
parently so. This appears to be so
from superficial materialistic sur
vey of the field. But the life is more
than food and the body than cloth
ing. The big industrial plants deal in
wealth, that is produced by labor:
but the newspaper besides dealing in
news, deals in bigger things
