Show HOW TO HAVE A STRONG CATHOLIC CATHO-LIC PAPER. "The way to have a strong Catholic paper," declares the Pittsburg Observer, Ob-server, "is for every family to take a copy of it and to pay for it and for every parish, society and merchant to advertise in it. There is no danger that it will have too much support. The more money, it receives the more money it can spend t" buy articles and to get news. The v, ay to have a weak Catholic press is for the people not to subscribe for it or after taking it not to pay what they owe for it, so as to exhaust its capital, and for every one who has any organization to maintain main-tain or any business to carry on or any project to boom to ask for free advertising adver-tising in it and get mad if this is not granted. The Catholic papers are not endowed or subsidized by the church. They must get along or sink into failure fail-ure on the support that is accorded them. The more support they obtair. the better they will be. The less their support' the weaker their force and the sooner their end." |
