THE NEWSPAPER’S PART
The newspapers of the United |
States may well be proud of the part
they played in helping to bring the
war to a successful epnclusion. The j
glorious story of how \American pub- j
lis'ners cast aside all politics, buried !
their animosities and ignored ail con-1
siderutions to get behind the country 1
may never be told. It is immaterial
whether it ever is. The newspapers
are not seeking praise for a duty well
performed; the mere performance is
sufficient reward.
It has not been easy at all times for
the newspapers to stand by their duty.
Hampered on all sides by restrictions,
many of them almost submerged by in-
creasing expenses and decreasing rev-
enue, constantly harassed in mind as
to which of several courses to follow,
; the daily periodicals nevertheless
j stood firmly for the right and canned
j on.
i It is hardly necessary to mention the
| work done by the newspapers in srolidi-
1 fying sentiment for the war, their la-
I hoi's making the selective draft and
j the various government loans success-
i es, and their assumption of the vol-
j untary censorship which made it pos-
! sible to move millions of men about
[ the country and across the submarine-
infested sea without danger.
! A great number of industries made
i vast)fortunes out of the war, but the
| newspapers are not among them. The
publishers of the United States who
j will be able to count profits at the end
of this year will be in a hopeless mi-
! nority. The great majoriey will show
I losses, but the deficits will cause few
| tears from the publishers, says the St.
j Louis Republic. They have done their
i bit, regardless of cost.
Many newspapers in the past year
have raised their subscription prices,
hut the amount of revenue thus gained
has by no means made up for the in-
crease in expenses due to the higher
cost of white paper, labor and other
essential items. Government restric-
tions prevented newspapers from ex-
ploiting their product and increasing
their circulation. Hundreds of con-
nonessentials

were practically, snut down by the gov-
ernment, cutting off advertising rev-
enues from the newspapers./The tak-
ing over of the railroads destroyed an-
other great source of income, but few
complaints were made. The govern-
ment insisted the things it was doing
were necessary to help win the war,
and that was enough.
At times Washington put up some
knotty problems to the newspapers.
In the same mail a publisher would re-
ceive a notice to cut down the amount
of white paper he was using and an-
other communication asking him to de-
vote several pages of news and car-
toons to boosting the Liberty loan.
The publisher even found ways out of
such dilemmas.
For a time there was some ^gitation
by the newspapers to have the govern-
ment pay for its advertising just as it
was paying other organisations for
work done. Nothing came of It, how-

January 15, 1855 in the state of Illinois, j
where sHe resided throughout her
childhood and until a£ter her marriage.
She was married October 8, 1875, to
G. W. Mitchell. To this union twelve
children were bom, four of whom died
In infancy. Of those living, four were
with her during the last hours of her
life, and together with the physician
and friends of her family, did all that
human hands could do to retain the
life and relieve the suffering of their
dear mother. But all efforts to pro-
long her life were in vain. On Friday,
November 29, 1918, at 6:45 P. M., the
breath of life was taken by it’s Giver
and her soul went forth into the great
eternity.

.About, twenty years ago Mrs.
Mitchell became a member of the
Christian Church, and for these many
years has lived a faithful, Christian
life, ever placing her trust in God to
guide her through this stormy life into
a blissful eternity.
Besides her husband and eight
phildren, she leaves other relatives
and many friends to mourn .her loss.

This good family has our deepest
sympathy in these sad hours, and we
hope they may find much consolation
in the fact that the deceased had so
lived that she did not fear to die and
meet God.
Her body was laid to rest in the
Sinton cemetery on Sunday, Decem-
