Multiple Ownership

Under the title A Newspaper with Six Thousand Owners, Oswald Garrison Villard published in The Nation an account of the Minnesota

Daily Star. It is the story of how a group-owned paper (started by the late Non-Partisan League) made its way among rivals controlled by the " Interests" until now in less than three years it has a circulation of over 53,000. Glaring headlines, green " extra " sheets, premiums for renewing subscriptions, are among the means to which it has resorted, but it has also "printed much news which would otherwise not have seen the light of day in Minnesota."

Mr. Villard's article is one of a series he is writing. He has already described The Kansas City Star, The New York World, the Philadelphia Public Ledger, William R. Hearst, the Jewish Forward. He promises to take as his next title: Frank Munsey: Dealer in Dailies.
