A DOLLAR PAPER

There Is No Profit I nit ,
Says Editor of Pom-

HIS ARGUMENT BEFORE BUCKEYE
PUBBLISHERS FOR INCREASE
IN PRICE OF WEEKLIES.
BY S. F. SMITH , PUBLISHER OF THE
LEADER , POMEROY , 0.
( Frou an address before the Buckeye Press
Association. )
Publishers of country weekly
newspapers have long been sub I
jecte ] to the charge of lax busi !
ness methods or no business ! meth-
ods at all. And judging from the
band to-mouth condition in which
most country publishing plants
are found the charge is too true ,
to be successfully ! denied. The
average country publisher is un-
like any other business manager
in that he appears to consider it
boneath his dignity to calculate
the cost of things. His sole aim
seems to be to sell. . Half the time
he couldn't tell you after he has
parted with his goods whether he
has made or lost. How could he
when he has no intelligently pre- .
pared scheme for marshaling a11.
the elements of cost ? He is the
macr * < who doesn't ; know. He
guesses his goods off. He goes
on guessing year after year and
always has another guess coming.
His multitudinous guesses make
never ending trouble for himself ,
and until his grace , grit and gr en-
backs have almost wholly vanish-
ed they commonly make nerve
racking trouble for his competitor.
After a time , however , and that
time is most often after both he
and his neighbor have grown gray
in an altogether senseless cheek
by jowl experience , a steadier ,
saner hand seizes the helm , and
for once the sail of the craft is set
for a definite , intelligent end.
With the advent of free rural
delivery some years ago publishers
of country weeklies became panic
stricken at the mere suggestion
of the supposed injury that would
result to their business from the
competition of the city daily and
everywhere prices dropped from
"
$1.50 and § 2.00 to $ LOO a J " ear.
I
'This reduction in price was a
most unfortunate blunder. No
good reason existed for it then ,
and certainly none exists now.
On the contrary , the reasons are
many why the price : of every
country weekly worthy of the
confidence and the moral and I
financial support of its patrons ;
should be restored to at least § 1.50
a year. The fear that a good home
paper can ' be displaced 'by a city
daily , however meritorious , is
nonsensical in the extreme. The
local paper is the only medium
that touches fully and intimately
the hearts and homes of its pat-
rons. One appreciative , encour-
aging , sympathetic wind upon its
bugle horn is worth a thousand
conventional blasts from a metro-
politan daily. Of , no other paper
can it be so truly and affectionater
ly said , "Your paper is like a let
ter from home. " How utterjy
inconsistent was it , then , for the
country publisher to feel alarm at
the threatened invasion of the city
daily and seriously impair his ;
needed income by-reducing the '
price of his paper ! _
Having made a mistake , has 'the
Ctruntry publisher $ fe ' Couragei tbfc
. . . ,
. , - : : ' - .
good , hard , practical sense to cor-
rect it ? Many have already done
so. When are you and I and the
multitude of other publishers of
dollar weeklies going to move in
the matter ? ,
Is there a publisher of a dollar
weekly anywhere who will say
that , a dollar . a year is enough for
his paper ? If so , then the well
justified reply must be that he
either has a very poor paper or
he knows little or nothing about
its cost. There are papers and
papers , but the weeklies consid-
ered , here are the ones which have
snap and individuality and meet
the needs of the village in which
they are published.
HITCHCOCK FOR U. S. SENATOR.
By this means , I announce my-
self a candidate for United States
senator to succeed E. J. Burkrit ,
I
whose term expires next March. :
I shall first submit my name to
the democratic voters at the state-
wide primaries in August. If I
then receive the democratic nomi- i
nation I shall ask that my name
be , placed upon the ballot to be
voted for in November , when
state officers and members ' of the
legislature are to be elected. In
that case I shall invite the repub-
lican candidate for senator to join , ,
. me in submitting the national is-
. sues of the day directly to the peo-
gle ' by means of a series of old
time public debates. While the
people are unfortunately . per-
mitted to elect United States sena-
tors by a direct vote , the election
will'afford them an opportunity
to express their senatorial prefer
ence when they elect the legisla-
tt0frand ; ; , under , the Oregori pjan
Tecently adopted in Nebraska , the
candidate endorsed at the polls by
the Y voters will probably . be chosen
by the legislature.
My candidacy for the senate ,
whether successful or not in-
volves my retirement from the
House of Representatives at the
end of my present term next
March. I have naturally hesitated
to thus voluntarily abandon a con-
genial position in the lower house
to which the people of the Second
congressional district have three
times elected me. Such : success
as I have enjoyed , however , has
given me a natural desire to seek
the higher honors and better op
portunities which the upper house
a'ffords , even at the risk of giving
up a probable re-election for an
uncertainty. ,
One of the considerations which
I have taken into account before
making this announcement has
been the possibility that Mr.
Bryan might be induced to allow
the use ! of his name as a candidate
for senator. From a knowledge
of his plans and from : public an-
nouncements , I considered this ,
highly improbable , but on account
of the importance of the matter , I
sought a personal interview with
Mr. Bryan shortly before he left
for South America , and learned
from him definitely that he would
not permit the' use of his name as
a candidate for the senate , nor ac
cept a nomination. He said frank-
ly that he was glad I proposed to
become , . a candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination but , with the
"
same frankness , stated that he
would not take any part as be-
tween me and other democratic
candidates who had been equally
loyal.
I was born in Nebraska fifty
years ago and for the past twenty-
five years have published the
\\Torld.HQrald. < In submitting my
name to the people , therefore
feel that they know , /my record
well enongh to pass a jast j judg j
ment on , my caT1dida ; y.
