ONE PAPER IS ENOUGH
FOR ANY SMALL CITY
Newspaper Graveyards Full of Ventures Started in
Overcrowded Fields; Day When Paper Could
Start on a Shoestring Is Done.
Fourth Estate.
There were three dailies and two
semi-weeklies in Son Luis Qbjspo
up to October 25th. We purchased
and cosolidated them und there are
now two dailies in the city. One is
intended for county circulation out
side of Son Luis Obispo. .
At no time, fan the history of San
Luis Obimto. has the city or county
supported more than one daily news
paper. This is the most conclusive
evidence which can be sumitted that
this is a one newspaper field.
It is true that more than one
daily news-paper has heretofore been
printed and circulated in this city
and county. But always, someone
other than'the public (usually the
owners or stockholders) have paid
the losses resulting from such |Hib
lieation. At no time has more than
one newspaper showed a profit in
stead of a loss-
Ami San Luis Obispo, like other
small California cities, is full of
newsioipers graveyards, which are a
monument tothe folly und thought
lessness of those who somehow
thought that newspapers could , de
rive the wherewithal for existence
from climate or some other ephe
mereal substance.
A daily newspaper, worthy of the
name, under present day cost con
ditions, cannot even be started for
Cornelius Vanderbilt , Jr., Declares
Public Opinion Now Rules the World
Public opinion is today the
greatest human force in the world,
according to Cornelius Vanderbilt,
lr„ who while in conference with
some of his editors at the May
flower hotel, Washington, tvAs
•sked why, with unlimited oppor
tunity to choose, he had elected
to become a newspaper publisher.
“I long had been impressed with
the thought that the newspaper
publisher exerts great influence for
good in the community,” answered
Mr. Vanderbilt, “and it seemed to
me that newspaper publishing af
forded the broadest opportunity
for public service of a high order. .
“Placing of practically unlimited
powers in tlie hands of the people,
through the constantly increasing
tendency toward representative
government throughout the world,
has increased the power of public
opinion to a hitherto unknown
force.
“This power, I believe, is affect
ed more by the press than any
other influence. The newspaper is
a sort of public utility, a public
servant charged with the task of
informing the people, fully and
frankly, on all subjects of general
interest in order that the mass
sentiment of the people may be en
lightened and most conducive to
the public welfare,
i “That le the great hope of
democracy—a virile and informed
public opinion. To this end, the
newspaper is perhaps the greatest
contributing factor, and for that
reason I think there is no higher
service that can be performed than
to publish conscientiously a news
paper, free from personal bias and
j selfish interest. It was for that
reason mainly that I decided to
j devote my energies to this public
Lservice.” «
