The Country Newspapers Are
Powers for Good
rvon Attnnln GEORGIA)
The weekly country newspaper is the national policeman.
In the night in a great city you see a policeman slnnindg in the
middle of the street "on fixed post.” There lie stands in all
kinds of weather. He must not move, the people must know
where they can find him.
What a fixed post policeman is to a big city, the country
newspaper is to the nation.
It is the national policeman on fixed post, ready to bear
the people’s complaint, ready to hot and protest against dang
erous legislation or dangerous public opinion.
The country news) nper is the national public forum; it is
the concentrated expression of local thought. The country
newspapers combined ARE ti e people and lb ■ power of the
country.
.Self-satisfied metropolitan editors and busy, iil-info mod
big business men fail to appreciate the country editor’s im
portance. The man who edits a country newspaper and pos
sesses his reader’s confidence is the school toailur of grownup
men and women.
It is to him that the citizen’s mind turns in time of doubt
for i iforinntion and for advice Lased on local knowledge.
There are at least fifty millions of human beings in this
country to whom the voice of the country editor moans- more
than any other voice in the nation.
As the country editor’s power is great in forming public
opinion, protecting public interest, influencing congressional
f cti m, so it is great as a business agent and POWERFUL AS
AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM.
X X x- X X
Tha country editor should bo recognized : n 1 utilized as
the nation’s MOST EFFICIENT SALESMAN.
The advertisement well told and well displayed in the
country newspaper actually reaches the most powerful buying
public in the world. And that public can not be reached with
equal efficiency through ANY other medium.
The subscriber to the country newspaper is the best cus
tomer of the intelligent advertiser. He buys everything from
books to harvesting machinery, from encyclopedias to gas en
gines, from paint for the roof to cement for the cellar door,
from fancy front yard fencing to drain tile for the fields.
Pick out the typical American family that reads the typi
cal American country newspaper and there you have a buying
power that interests every intelligent business man and adver
tiser in the United States.
• X X X X X
It is the duty of those interested in the public welfare to
proclaim the value of the country newspaper as an advertising
medium regardless of personal interest.
It is important to the nation that the country editor
should be absolutely independent of corporations, of all influ
ence except that of the readers whom he serves.
To increase the prosperity, the INCOME, of the country
editor is to increase the efficiency of the greatest educational
and protective institution in the United States.
The business man helps to build up his country and at the
same time uses the best medium for building up his business,
when he gives a large share of his advertising, appropriation to
the country newspaper.
There are nearly twenty thousand country newspapers
published in the United States, each a center of information, of
intellectual activity, each a schoolhouse for the grown man
and woman, each an important member of the national police
force. It is no exaggeration to say that democratic govern
ment of the United States would be impossible, should this en
lightening force, the country newspapers, be-climinutcd.
For they are the local checks, (ho local guardians anil
watchmen. Every man in congress knows the power of his
country newspapers at home and knows that those newspapers
are watching him. And if we have something approaching
democratic government in the United States we may thank
the country editor for it.
