we would sink beyond redemption.
The church is 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 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.
1t 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 some what 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 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 postffice receipts would
dwindle for much of it's revenue CONS
in dirct response to advertising.
The newspaper is the t.aird great
agency in the advancement of civili-
cation, yet it is underestimate more
often than the first two. 1t is too
often treated as merely business
proposition. Few people seem ever to
get the Vision business to advance the
interests of a whole community. The
preacher llS one job-to preach;
the teacher mas on job-to teach; but
the editor, if he be true, has triple
Job, and that is to preach, and teach,
and hardes of all and with it all, too,
to meet his weekly pay roll, pay the
other cost of production, 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 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 says
that those concerns with tleir big pay
rolls from the life of the community.
This we answer is only apparently So.
This appears to be so from superb
cial materialistic survey of the field.
But the life is more than food and
the body than clothing. The big in
dustrial plants deels in welth, that
is produced by labor; but the news
paper besides dealing in news, deals
