The Mortality Among Country Papers.
Tur..nto Saturday Night.
The great reduction in the number of
publications, and m particularly news-
papers, is a sign of the timea, and by no
means a good sign. This Process of elim•
int tion has been going on .ow for some
years, in Canada, the United States,
Britain and in continental Europe, one of
ttie in direct results of toe war, and the
resulting huge in.rease In costs.
I'he death list in Canada among news-
papers. and more particularly among the
small city and town journals, hat been
particularly Iarge, and is much to be
-4.1lgretted. In a country as sparsely settled
as Canada, there is great need of means
for bringing the people together,and thews
is no better method than the country
paper which every week tells all the inter-
esting news of the neighborhood. and
serves as the oily possible medium, in a
large way, of intercommunication. There
is a1 -o another danger, and that is not
having all sides of our political differences
placed before the reading public. Many
sections of Can .da are now served by one
local newspaper only, and that paper,
having a political twit, very otten fails to
give it, political opponents a proper hear-
ing through its a lumns, the consequence
being that a great proportion of the elec.
torate are given a one-sided view of public
matters, which is certainly not in the
interest of the individual nor the country
ala whale.
in the days previous to the war, when
it was possible to operate two country
newspapers in the same community without
starving to death, it was certain that the
political views of both the old political
parties would be represented. But with
the advancing costs, the prose,. ut el.min•
ation has proceeded until now even some
of our fairly large centres are dependent
upon one newspaper, daily or weekly, as
it may happen.
Operating a country newspaper was not
all bbe�eer and skittles, even under the most
tavor3Me circumstances, but latterly it
has reached a point where it becomes
almost a superhuman endeavor to keep
them alive.
An old man and en old woman were
standing before the pigsty looping at

"John, it will be our silver weddin' ter -
