The Capital Journal, of Salem, re views the situation publishers are confronted by these days thusly The war Industries board has or dered nowspupers to cut off all free copies, and to reduce the average size of tholr newspapers, 'mis order Is for the purpose of conserving both sews print paper and labor. Not many publishers will resent the or der, since they have iroallzod', for some time that me most rigid econ omy in these matters must be prac ticed. The order of the government will make It easier for thein to- do some things that they hesitated vol untarlly to do, although they believed they should be done. In times like this the newspaper -business Is not a snap. There are no war proiits; Instead prices of lubor and material are going up and ad vertislng, the paper's greatest source of revenue, is curtailed. Every In dustry or business the government grabs hold of in any manner stops ad vertising immediately. War reports cost a vast amount of money, and the papers must carry them in order to satisfy the public craving for daily information on this subject. For In stance, It costs from 81.60 to $2.01 a word to get cable messages from Pot- rograd or Salonika, In the Bnlkans. From Franco cable tolls are 25 centB a word. Added to these tolls are the high salaries of an army of cones- - pondents and their excessive expense bills whllo following the path of the war. When you read the full leased wire telegraph report in the Capital Journal calculate what must have been the cost of gathering it. 01' course, the Capital Journal only pays Its proportionate part of the cost. which is shared by all United ProsB papers. But its share Is very much neavier tnan it was before the war broke out in Europe, Everything is going up that way and only circulation receipts keep pace with rising costs. More people nro reading nowspapers than ever bo fore but the newBpupor btiBlnoBS was not bunt on the theory that sun scrlption rocelpts would pay the run ning exponscs. Advertising, based Jn circulation, Is relied upon by all pub llshors for their proUU. Advertising has In this way boon responsible for making it poBsiblo for newspapers and magazines to bo sold at a price wiinin mo roucli or all. That 1b why the peoplo gonerally owe n'good deal to the enterprising business man or manufacturer who advertises ho Is paying for the reading matter they get at only a nominal cost. Now that wnr restrictions havo re duced advertising, newspapers must raise subscription prices, reduce the slzo of their publications or curtail tholr subscrlpton lists. Probably thoy will do all these things and that 1b just what the ordor recently issued by the war industries board seeks to accomplish. The Daily Capitul Jour nal, for Instance, Is suffering from too much circulation now. It is only slightly below 6000 copies dally on the averago and that is too large for the volume of advertising carried uud the rnto we are able to got for it in u Hold llko this. We keep pruning the list ot ihobo wno are slow pay.-and of advertisers and exchanges, but the Hut continues to grow the people uvniuniiy want tne war news. The ordor of tho government to re fuse to permit papers to go out ol the office unless paid for in cash will not work a hardship upon papers llko tho Capital Journal. It will only as sist them In holding down rising ex penses, and Is only making nn orilclnl order ot what business Judgment dic tates they must ot necessitv tin ni. way. What the government should do, howovor, Is to pay for all the ad vertising space it uses in the pupors iur war activities. Jn England this Is dono. i' rnnco and . Advertising space is the only commodity tho newspaper nas to soil nnd there Is no; 7:30 p. in., August 8, 1918. Build reason why the government should In illiiiniislnim 2-t-4iivi9 rt oiu,.,. expoct to get It free when It pays' .-.o iiiKu prices tor what ana it wanlB. That Is why the govorn-! ment sens bonds to pay for what It n7 A WOMAN'S. SHOP FOR We Cater toYburWants arid specialize to meet the de mands of our army of customers THE: BELLOWS STORE THE 'LADIES', EXCLUSIVE requires In the conduot of the war And yet the government expects the newspapers to give their t .over using space free tholr only com modityIn order to Bell bonds thut money may be raised to pay every body else (or tbelr services or thol goods. A great many persons have never thought seriously ot the trying position newspapers are placed in during the war and still the govern ment officials say they could scarcely carry out any of the great war aotlv ities without their co-operation. The story of the ardent Baltimore wooer who shot his best girl and married her later should be a lesson to .those who have been In the habit of reversing the order. If Ludendorff's tactics were design ed to lend General Foch Into a pre mature offensive, they failed, as they might have boen expected to full. There are nearly as many candi dates for the tbrone of Poland as there 'are for the governorship of New York. A few who tblnk they are winning the war single handed could help betterby UBlng both hands. It is poor policy that penalizes profiteers only after the .consumers' dollars have flown. TO OUR BOYS IN FRAXCE. Where home Is there is mother, And she Is watting, boy, for you. Tho' her heart is oftimes weary .She Ib trying to be cheery; And she Is praying, Boy, for you. So while you are fighting Hun Just remember there Is one Who is waiting your return, .iud Bhe is watching and praying Boy, for you. And although there Is another, Oh, boy, don't forget the mother That Is longing at home for you. You muy have sweethearts many, But, boy, there isn't any That can take tho place of mother. Boy, to you. Now, boy, sit down and write her. And don't you daro to slight her With a letter that's so short It Isn't sweet; But luako It goodi and long, And from far across the foam -You will hoar a song from mother That can't be beat. MRS. G.
