say, that it was "disastrousIy incom-

LOCAL NEWSPAPER 4 NECESSITY

There are three most potent factors
in the lift, growth and development
of community. They are, the church.
the school and the newspaper, and
this is in the order of importance.
1t 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 no self
respecting person could stay here.
With all our material prosperity we
would soon drop back to conditions
such as ancient Rome witnessed. And
If the school were discontinued ma
teria1 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 a pub
lie institution and is supported by
the state through taxation. The news
paper is a semi-public institution but
receives no public support but has to
earn it's livelihood through the regu-
lar channels of competitive business.
If the newspapers and other
periodicals were discontinued today
the effect would be somewhat similar
to a 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 a few miles
distant. Business would slow down, |
and telegraph communication would |
soon fall into disuse because no slim
illus would come from newspaperdom. |
Even the postoffice receipts would
dwindle for much of it's revenue comes I
in direct response to advertising.
The newspaper is the third great
agency in the advancement of civil
cation, yet it is underestimated more
often than the first two. 1t is too
often treated as merely business 7
proposition. Few people seem ever to
get the vision that the true-blue editor
has of using business to advance the |
interests of a whole community The
preacher has one job-to preach;
the teacher has one job-to teach; but /
the editor. if he be true, has triple I
job, and that is to preach, and teach, /
and hardest of all and with it all, too,
to meet his weekly pay roll, pay the T
other costs of production, and try to
get comfortable living-and we all
have right to that.
Omitting the church and the school,
we can. make claim without exag-
geration, that a true newspaper is OF
more real Importance, does 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 community.
This we answer is only apparently so.
This appears to be so from superb
cial materalistic survey of the field.
But the life is more than food and
the body than clothing. The big in
dustrial plants deal in wealth, that
is produced by labor; but the news
paper besides dealing in news, deals
in bigger things THOUGHTS.
"Our thoughts are things, and a
small drop of ink, falling like dew
upon thought, produces that which
makes thousands, perhaps millions
think. - Union On. Y.) News Dispatch.
