WHAT OTHERS SAY. Newspapers and the Public. Toronto News. . In theory a newspaper consists of news and comment and otadvertising. By excluding news and cowmen'. the paper becomes uninteresting. By ex- cluding advertising it becomes un- profitable. The reeding notice, • put in" to oblige .ometody, or to aid • good cause, occupies space which could be better employed. For this reason it is a direct charge against the publisher. These are kindergarten axiom*, perhaps, but it is not certain that the public it familiar with thein.
