Whe small compact newspaper is coming into atyle throughout the country. People are growing tired of the blanket sheets, with their weary columns of padded news stories, and are disposed to champion the cause of the newest thing-—the little newsp: r with all of the news A tew * ago long-winded speec were considered the correct thin People looked profoundly interested, and went to sleep. Then the dally newspaper publishers, in their new~ found delight at being able to set up vast quantities of matter wieh It otype machines, went daffy on the subject and began to grind out 10 90, and even 40 pages of stuff per day, It didn’t matter what the qual ity of the stuff was, so long as it was stuft, The ed to spread themseives and tell all of the adjuncts to everything, with additional historical paragraphs whenever opportunities presented, At first the people were hoodoed into believing that they wanted just such papers. They tried faithfully to read them through, but gradually @woke to the fact that it was Hike attempting to eat a whole roast pig at one sitting. Then a wise publisher in the East, who had the courage of bis con- vietions, belly offered a small four-page paper brimful of all the news, written in a concise and pleasing style. His journalistic neighbors pre- dicted a hundred thousand dollar fallure within six months, “Behold the Dally Postage Stamp!” they cried, derisively But the wise printer of other men's doings knew what he was about sleep under the long-winded sermons and speeches of the white-haired leaders of the people. He bad triedto mad blanket newspapers through im one day, and he knew that it could not be done without meals. He felt that the populace was getting restive and wanted some thing in the daily newspaper tine that was practical. The long speech and the long sermon had given way to the Inevitable Why should news paper talke not be abbreviated? So he launched his four-page enter Prise with Little fear to the ultimate resulta, At first people looked at hie paper in surprise. Then they caught on to a good thing in the way that good things are usually appropriated The little was quickly a succes It gave allot the news and could be read through inside of a couple of hours. With tts prominent heads, it might be skimmed within 30 minutes and time would then be left for evening recreation or a call on one’s neighbor, “We have all other things cut short nowadays,” said a man. w we will cut off the absurd big papers.” Go the little paper came into popular favor tn Eastern cities, and gradually began to make its way Westward. Today the most wide! read journals in some of the large cities are four and eight- sheets, sold for 28 per month, and recognised as first cousins to the new and popular 1@.cent magaasines. The Mar is owned and managed by men who understand publishing small papers. From the very start the people have taken kindly to the enterprise. ‘The paper has given all of the news and has been conduct. ed on an honest and independent basis. Nothing in the way of legit!- mate information has been suppressed. The Star has proceeded upon the basis that it is in honor bound (o give all of the news and not cheat Mts patrons out of part of the goods for which they have paid News suppression by organs of the political parties haa, heretofore, been a Most serious matter im this part of the country The Star t& politically independent It gives all obtainable news to the Republicans about the movements of their Democrat! Then it entightens the Democrats as to what the Hepublicans propose to do. Samé thing is true in the case of the Populiets, The municip- al ownership people have found that they can gét thelr news printed in the Star. Nobody who has news to present, finds it refused or garbled when pubdiighed, The Star is a newspaper, and not an organ. ‘The paper is not small because of lack of facilities for getting out a dig one. ‘The Hoe perfecting press owned by the Star is built tohandle @ Dianket sheet and is harnessed down to a four-page basi, It uses cir~ cular plates made from matrices and can turn out 12,000 folded news. papers in ome hour. ‘The Star is & clean and desirable paper for the family circle Pt seeks the patronage of all persons who like independence of spirit and honesty of expression. If, after reading this statement, you wish to do your mite towards In- creasing circulation, take the copy now in your hands and go to your nearest neighbor who does not yet read the Star, and give him a few foretbie and well-put reasons why he should delay no longer.
