Good Prices--Apply T H SCOTT, Oxdrift {RMS A Canadian Newspapers BO The Newspaper is the herald of modern ideas and national progress. In ancient times in England and Scot- land the custom was for a "crier" or bellman to go about the city streets shouting at certain corners the im- portant news of the day. 'The News- paper is the modern bellman. Of what is every clear-thinking, progressive business-man most desir- ous? Efficiency. One hundred news- papers can place current events before the reader very satisfactorily, but two can do so much more efficiently, or even ten. Therein lies the very essence of conservation of time, resource, and energy. This was instanced not long ago by the amalgamation of the Toronto 'World' with the 'Mail and Empire', which left but two large morning newspapers for the Ontario Metro- polis. The result will be intensive cultivation and concentration of effort. Efficiency in service is assured. Why should ten, or six papers be published in one city each giving similar news? In this age of enlightenment: the daily 'paper' is an acknowledged hone institution; mone is complete without at least one, which is eagerly awaited and counted upon delivery. Every business man and woman must, have a hasty glance at the headlines on the way to work before the car stops. In the home itself, every individual has his particular section in which he is mos: interested. The head of the house will be found with the financial ' section or the political pages, his better-half will delve into society or charitable work, the boys will peruse} the sporting news, their sisters will turn towards the fashions, while the entire family - will be interested, no "doubt, in the editorial comment, the " witticisms and the storgette. What does every right-thinking man der.and to-day of his newspaper? It is the spirit eminating from the ed- itorial desk, of Truth and. Justice, and ' Fair-Play, and this is what the mod- ern Canadian News - sheet endeavours to give in the best interests of the "Country. Until about fifteen years ago Cana- da had little more than a handful of © first-class newspapers. In the larger cities the value and dignity of these organs for the outspoken expression of the nation's ideas, was somewhat re- stricted, and the extent of their ser- vice limited by the conditions under which they functioned. They were, for the most part, owned or controlled by political or business interests, whose attitudes greatly modified the vaunted "freedom of the Press". The march of events, the broaden- ing of public spirit and intelligence, @ gradually enabled the newspaper to break away from these fetters. One of the outward indications of this progressive development occured © about ten years ago, when the news- papers, led by the large Western dai- lies, formed an association known as the "Western Associated Press" which demanded and obtained some import- ant concessions. g In the first place, they secured news uncensored by private concerns, and perfect freedom to publish facts as they actually occured without regard to their effects on interested parties. The valuable right to precedence in news service was granted. The Press secured a wire from Montreal and Toronto to Winnipeg and Vancouver the rules guiding the conduct of a gentleman. A few years ago, papers featured what would appeal chiefly to a morbid, sensation-loving public; div- orce, murder and indecencies of many varieties; now the general tendency is to print only what pertains to the sun- nier side of life. : It was once the custom for some papers to send to the Police Courts a wit, with a readiness to expose to rid- icule and to hold up before the unpity- ing regard of the thoughtless, some scene of sordid misery. Too often, the frailties and weaknesses of one part of the community were unveiled for the edification of more fortunate sec- tions. 'The best Canadian organs of the present generation allow such oceurr- ences a six-line paragraph in a liftle- emphasized portion of the paper. Our newspapers frown upon "graft" or any indication of the self-seeking. The journalist's mind is quite distinct from the commercial. It has quite a large percentage of altruism and is free from the great obstruction of selfishness, besides being imbued with a splendid spirit of service and a high conception of its duty to the public. Every good newspaper has a per- sonality of its own, not necessarily governed or influenced by the opinions of the man or body of men engaged in writing it. This personality is main- tained through all the vicissitudes of fortune in' business or politics in peace or war, through which thecountry pass es, without fear or favour from influ- ences which would tend to lessen its self-respect. What may this Spirit of Press be called? What is this expression of the inate refinements of character which a, broad-minded public asks, and which many of the keenest brains of our 'budding nation earnestly and con cientiously strive to place before that public daily? In a word, it is Tone. The Tone of the newspaper in Canada is' the key-note of Canadian character. It is second to none in the world. Standing upon a plane essentially its] an. ideallistic race of clean-minded, right-thinking citizens, so long will this nation endure, steadfast and emin- ently worthy of a high place among the nations. Classes for Prospectors. a The following lettter was received last week by Mayor Pitt from the Deputy Minister of Mines. Accom- panying is the Mayor's reply: ALFRED PITT, Esq. Dryden, Ontario Dear Sir:--Last season an application was received from Principal Craven, asking that Dr Goodwin be sent by the Department of Mines to hold a class for prospectors in your town. We are prepared to arrange for a clags this season, if it is desired. The class could be held. beginning early in February. The locality is expected to provide the place of meeting for the class. The Department of Mines pays all other expenses and the class is free to all who are interested. I would like a reply as soon as possi- ble, so that Dryden may be included in the advertising for the winter. over which press despatches had the right-of-way. Lastly, this Association established the principle that the railway's own- ership of the telegraphic services was secondary to their obligation to use them entirely in the mational interest rather than in their own; this principle being enlarged and extended ultimate- ly to all public services. : From the foregoing it will be seen how the Press of Western Canada shook off the restraining hand of wage servitude and paved the way to a fut- ure of assured independence. A people are only. as free as their newspaper. The Press is the surest barometer of National progress. A community obtains exactly the same standard of newspaper if deserves. It follows from this that a mewspaper must have a great and high-minded reading public. What are the really desirable feat- ures in the Press of to-day? The pol- icy of a good newspaper is governed ' by similar traditions of breeding, to Yours Truly Deputy Minister. EE 3 | DEPARTMENT OF MINES, Office of the Deputy Minister, Toronto, Ontario i Dear Sir:-- I am delighted to get iyours of the 2nd inst. Mr Craven is not here any more, but I have im- mediately phoned to the Chairman of the School Board, who was most favourably inclned, and he will get in touch with the Principal of the High School. However, please advertise for this class, and I will personally do all I can to make it a success, because there are others: outside of school age will be pleased to attend, in fact if time permits I shall be pleased to enroll my- self as a pupil. : You may at any rate be assured of co-operation and appreciation.
