Washington made it. It is a measure not of The Sta selling power, but of its drawing power. It reflects not what merchants were persuaded to do, but what they themselves wanted to do on their own behalf and on behali of their city. It presents a newspaper in its highest aspects—not merely as a mirror held up to the life of a great community, but as the very heart and voice of that community, throngh which the vast energies and aspirations of all the people throb and make themselves vocal. Thus viewed, how intimately is the newspaper bound up with the community! It brings. of course, the ever changing story of the outside world by telegraph and cable. It reflects the yivid local happenings—(tragical, startling or merely “run-ofthe-mill”) in its columns. But a great news- paper typifies more than simply the unfolding of the day It is an economic necessity, as well as a medium of infofymation and entertainment. Through such a medium the vast economic life of a people finds ‘expression. Without it that economic life would be seriously crippled, if not permanently impaired In this issue, for instance, business in all its phases finds expression—expression essential to its welfare. The merchants, large and small, present their seasonal offer- ings. The classified advertiser (whose name, in truth, is legion) is here with his insistent, brief, but highly personal and important messages. The national advertiser puts his goods on display in this universal shop window. And why should they not?
