DAILY PAPERS SUPPLANTING WEEKLIES.
One ot the noticeable features of Twentieth Cen
tury newspaper df. velopmeat—.it began before the be
ginning of the Twentieth Century in the more popu
lous sections of the country—has been the suppplant
ing c-f the wc kly newspaper by the daily. Improved
tiansportation facilities, extension of telegraph and
telephone lines and the growth in population and
pio.perity of the country have been largely responsible
for the increased popularity of the daily and the
gradual disappearance of the weekly.
Then newspapers and tlie people have changed.
There was a time when newspaper were political
Inttitutlons and were supported on that basis.
People and papers look at things differently
now. The people want the news, accurately told,
when it is news. This is evident from the circum
stance that in nearly all of the smaller towns, where
It is required, when pubishere make a good daily
newspaper, when they put a sufficient percentage of
their income back into the paper, the people of the
community, irreyectlve of politics, rally to its
support and give it their advertising, printing and
aueh other patronage as they have to bestow.
Until recent years nearly all dally papers pub
lished weekly editions. Not only hvae nearly all of
them stopped that, but the weeklies in the towns
which have dallies have become less numerous, if we
except tboee devoted io trade or some particular
cause. The latest of the large city dallies to abandon
the weekly field is the Niw York World, whose
Thrice-a-Week edition was issued for the last time
June 29. The. World commenting upon its action
in abandoning the weekly field, In a front page edi
torial said:
. -Few iieeple in the United States are now
beyond the reach of a daily newspaper with
in twenty-four hours of its issue. Fast rail
oiad transportation and rural mail delivery
have opened up remote regions to (lie great
dally and Sunday newspapers of the cities
with latest news, pictures and llterture of
the whole world.
Twentieth century progress, amazing
alike in Its development of newspapers and
of eager reading public, has relegated to the
background one notable American institution
of the nineteenth century -the weekly news
paper. * * *
Their sun has set; their day has passed.
One by one they nave dropped quietly, un
noticed, out of existence. Their place, even
in the farm house. Is taken by the daily
newrpaper. Whether in city or country, the
public wants the news of today, not that of
yesterday. * * * Only u few weekly, or semi
weekly, issues of western and southern dail
ies remain but they are changed completely
in character to form specialty publications
of a new and distinct type
Almost i ho last of the old group is the
Thrice-A-Week \\\>rld. For many years it
has been a favori'e visitor to thousands of
widely scattered American homes. But it
now must bow lo the march of progress, to
the marvelous growth of its greater com
panions under The World banner—the Daily,
Evening and Sunday Issues, and to the in
sistent demand of tlie public everywhere for
the daily newspaper.
So the Thrice-A-Week World surrenders
its rceptre and its army of friends to the
Daily World, and will cease publication after
this issue.
AN APPROPRIATE SOUVENIR.
Of at) the souvenirs Riven to President and Mrs.
Hardin* none was more appropriate than the finely
mounted blue fox presented hy the Southeastern
Blue Fox Association to the First Lady of the
Land. It was a fine specimen of an animal that Isj
pcin* to play—that is playing a large part in the'
development of this section of Alaska, The present
was applicable to a typical Alaskan industrial phase
—one that is not gepcral in the country.
Fox farming already is one of the important
industries of Southeastern Alaska and it is still in
its infancy. During the last few years there probably
have been more modeet fortunes made in this
country in the fox farming industry than any other.
It is not difficult to believe that more and larger results
will follow as the yearo pats on and the industry Is
developed.
The gift to Mrs. Harding was a happy thought
well carried out.
EAST PAYS TRIBUTE TO WEST.
The tremendous ovation given the Washington!
oarrmcn at the Rreat college regatta on the Hudson
wa^ another illustration of the homogeneousneas of
the American piople. The World says it was a
popular victory.” Eastern newspapers all pay
glowing tribute to the stalwart men who came out of
the Wect. The New York Post says they paid a
"dividend on the Lewis and Clark Kxpedltl n." and
playe up (be circumstance that not only was every
Washington oarsmen a native of the Evergreen State
SI’Jt the Captain of the Navy crow was a native
Washingtonian, hailing from Seattle, and he had a
younger brother In the Washington Freshman crew, 1
Sporting and editorial writ r< rejoice that Wash
ington promises to return nex. , ear, and refer to the
near victory of their Freshmen crew this year and
the close race of their varsity crew last year, when
it was Bccond to the Navy, as complete evidence that
the victory of the Western crew this year was not
an accident by any moans.
A REAL CONSERVATION WAR.
The war on boars, wolves, coyotes, cougars, wild
eats, weasels, skunks, polecats, eagles, hawks, owls,
crows and other animals and birds of prey is a real
conservation movement. I>et us hope that it may be
prosecuted with vigor and capable generalship. Game
animals and birds and song birds and animal life
of beauty, in habit as well as appearance, add a lot
more to nature-interest than these marauders of soil
and air, and they arc more helpful, for their war is
on destructive insects and vermin that are more dif
ficult of destruction. The game and song birds are
our allies in economic warfare and our entertainers.
Their enemies are our enemies.
Let the merry war go on and may the kill be
prolific!
The war sportsmen have declared against birds
and animals of prey in the interest of sport suggests
a lot of sport in itself. One ought to get as much
pleasureable recreation out of such a war as he could
possibly get out of killing the game animals whose
lives would bo preserved by the extermination of
the birds and animals of prey.

Our Rule in Porto Rico and the Philippines.
(New York Post.)
Gov. Horace M. Towner's declaration to the Porto
Kicnn Legislature this week that he personally be
lieves that the Island should eventually assume state
hood will have a mixed reception. It Is true that
very few Porto Ricans now demand independence.
They know that it will yet be long until the formi
dable problems of illiteracy, sanitation, and agricul
tural and Industrial development can be sufficiently
solved to enable them to think of such a goal; they
know that Porto Rico's economic prosperity depends
upon its connection with the United States. Rut it
Is also true that no extensive element wants state
hod, though the small Republican party has just
declared for It. The majority of intelligent island
ers support the propoia! which the Unionist party
has espoused, and which was presented to Congress
last year by Commissioner Davila, President Barcelo
of the Senate, and House leaders—a proposal for a
Porto Rican Free State. Under this plan the island
would eventually assume much the relation to the
United States that Canada and the Irish Free State
assume toward Great Britain; it would be autono
mous and yet recognize American sovereignty.
Simultaneously reports of fresh friction in the
Philippines between Gov. Gen. Wood and Manuel
Quezon remind U3 that in our other great insular
possession the desire for independence is unweakened.
Lart November! the Philippine Ho»ii|a petitioned
Congress and President Harding to allow the Legis
lature to call a convention to adopt a republican con
stitution. Congressman Dyer’s statement in Manila
at Christmas thut our next House of Representa
tives, with Its large Democratic and radical Repub
lican vote, would favor Philippine independence, has
heartened Quezon s Collectivista party. A perma
nent Filipino commission is to be established in this
counrty to labor for the cause.
Quezon and Gen. Wood have disagreed on many
things; but under all of them has lain their disagree
ment upon independence. The Wood-Forhes report
that the Filipinos are unfit for freedom embodied
arguments which would equally prove that Chicago
o: New ) ork ought to have a Federal Governor Gen
eral. The next Congress should make an inquiry,
and at least give the Filipinos what they have so
long asked; an assurance that when certain fixed
conditions are satisfied they can have independence
II they want it. Quezon suggests that a full promise
of independence when, ten or twelve years hence, the
Philippines are completely Knglish speaking, would
be satisfactory.
Canada Deserting Prohibition.
(New York World.)
Week before last the Province of Manitoba voted
tc drop bone-dry Prohibition and substitute a Gov
ernment monopoly over the liquor traffic such as ob
tains In the Province of Quebec. Last week the Prov
ince of Ontario turned out of power the Prohlbit.ion
Karm-Labor Government of the day and sent to Tor
onto a Government which promises a popular refer
endum on the continuance of Prohibition. As Brit
ish Columbia had already dropped Prohibition, there
is the prospect that soon practically the whole north
iin border on the Canadian side, from Maine to the
lacltic, will be as open on the rum question as
Quebec has been.
This changing situation was noted at the recent
"council of war" held in Ohio by the Anti-Saloon
League of America, and considered for what it might
do in muklng Prohibition enforcement more difficult
on this aide of the border. Rut it would seem to
have deeper significance than that.
Quebec's population is 70 per cent. French-Cana
dian and its more liberal attitude on the question
accordingly means little or nothing so far as our own
people ure concerned. But Manitoba and Ontario
as well as British Columbia, are occupied predom
inately by people of British descent and those who
mve gone there from the Northern States .of this
country. No two peoples occupying the two sides of a
national boundary line can anywhere be found more
homogeneous than the Canadians of these provinces
and the Americans of the adjacent Northern United
If the people on one side of this border ar
ui'uilf nS ,hoir minds about the practicability of Pro
hibition after extended trial, it may fairly be in
erred that some change of the sort is going on ii
oe, minds of people on the other'side of the border
and hardly anywhere else in the United States hov
often we have been told, is Prohibition sent’imen
and lmmovable as In the Northwester!
i nited States. This is the greater significance t(

Times Have Changed
Once, when nn army was defeated,

Now it has to fly, or it will be
defeated.
It It Fits—
Men are modest, but we never yet
have seen one who wouldn’t admit
his wife married the best man in
the world.
Love may be blind, but just the
same we notice that a pretty girl
will have a hundred admirers to
every homely girl’s one.
The man who kicks like a steer
because he has to wait ten minutes
for his wife is the same patient old
bird who sits hour after hour in the
boiling sun along some stream wait
ing for a bit.
The reason a young man thinks
he can make her happy is because
he nqver has seen a bill for the
clothes she needs to make her that
way.
Probably nobody was ever worse
fooled than the husband who thought
when his wife bobbed her hair it
wouldn't take so doggone long to
fix It.
They say people can get used to
most everything in this old vale of
laughter and tears, but the divorce j
records seen tq show marriage is j
an exception to the rule.
When a matf marries his dream j
girl he has to» keep mighty wide!
awake to kcejfci her that way. If j
he goes to sleep she’ll sure become |
a nightmare.
