SMALL PAPERS
WERE GREATEST
WAR SUFFERERS
WASHINGTON. Dec. 3. — The Re
publican publicity association, through
its president. Hon. Jonathan Bourne
Jr., gave out the following statement
from its Washington headquarters:
“No other business has been hit
harder by the war than the newspaper
business, particularly in the smaller
cities and country towns. The large
metropolitan papers have probably suf
fered least. During 1917, more than
1,200 publications went out of busi
ness. After making allowance for new
papers started, it appears that there
was a net loss of sixty-two dailies and
569 weeklies.
"The mortality statistics for 191S
will probably show as great a loss,
for the shortage of paper, the increas
ing cost of all kinds of supplies, and
the higher wages, together with the
heavy call upon newspaper men for
mllitrry service, have been more se
vere this year than last.
“And one of the serious features of
the situation is that the people of the
country probably do not realize that
the most valuable portion of the press
has sustained the greatest loss. Un
der popular government the country
press, including not only the country
weeklies, but the smaller dallies, is
the real voice of the people. Editors
of large metropolitan papers do not
have and cannot have the close touch
with the people that is a necessary in
cident of the life of the country editor
Just as Washington, D. Is the poor
est place in the country to get a lint
on the political thought of the nation
so the big city newspaper office,is thi
pnoiesi place III gel il (linen picture
of natiomil thought, either political or
otherwise. The people of the United
States should realize this, and should
see to it that whatever else happens
the country press shall be maintained
"Freedom of speech and of the press
is the first essential of a Republican
form of government, for the represen
tatives of the people can not know
the thoughts and aspirations and de
sires of their constituents unless
voiced through the mediumship of the
local press to which they have access
either directly, through the publica
tion of communications, or indirectly
through the editor's interpretation of
the views of his community.
"The country press, including the
smaller dailies, represents the pro
ducing element of our national tile.
The large metropolitan press repp*,
sents the commercial factors. Just
as production is the first essential of
a permanent prosperity, so the main
tenance of that portion of the press
that speaks for the producers is most
important.
"The metropolitan press has its
place in our national life and nobody
wishes it ill The fact remains, how
ever, that the vital interests of the na
tion are most promptly and most
clearly represented and the thought
of tile people most freely and most
courageously voiced by the country
press The people of the country may
not see it now . but they will some day
realize that the large preponderance
of suspensions among the weekly pub
Mentions is a menace to national wel
fare."
