Speaking of what a uuwaoaper does for h community, United States Senator David Davis, of II linoig, made an address that re mains ever green in the memory of newspaper men. He -naid : "Every year every local paper gives from 500 to 5,000 free lines for the benefit of the community in w hlch it in published ( which if paid for at the regular advertising rates would amount to hundreds of dol bus.) No other agency can or will do this. The editor in proportion t<- hia means does moro for his own town than any other man. lie ought to be supported not because iyoii happen to like him or admire liia wiiuing, but because a local pa per in the best investment a com munity can nioko. It may not be crowded with great thought but financially, it is of more benefit than both preacher and teacher. Today editors do more for less pay than any other men on earth.
