Tribune some time ago “took a shot” at the Brooks- ville (Fla.) News, in the following words: The Brooksville News is & lit- tle paper that comes to the Tri- bune’s exchange table and which we regard as something of a cur- iosity. The announcement ap- pears at its masthead that it is issued monthly by the Brooks- ville Board of Trade and that it is printed at Chicago by a print- ing establishment of tnat city. The Tribune is inclined to think that this is setting a very bad example and also throwing away good money on the part of the Brooksville Board of Trade. How can the board appeal with sincerity for home industries when it has its publicity work done at Chicago, ignoring the two papers printed in its own city. It can not be claimed that the idea is to obtain a high class of work-than the 'home papers can do, because the Star and the Argus each “lay it ali over” the Chicago-printed sheet in appear- ance and contents. The News is far from typographical -beauty and has “cheap” written all over it. It spells cypress *“cyprus” in a headline, which isn’t a good showing for the accuracy of its Iong-distance .editorship, Lees money spent with the home pa- pers would bring Brooksville much more benefit than this doubtful experiment. Besides, it is anything but a good adver- tisement for a town.to note, that it has its “boost” organ printed elsewhere. The home papers are the institutions that carry the burden of “boosting’ ’the town and they certainly deserve the patronage of the people they are doing their level best to benefit. The Board of Trade of Brooks- ville must be domindted by a very peculiar' set of men, with very peculiarly constituted ideas of advertising their town when they spend the money of the or- ganization in such undesirable ventures as the Chicago-printed Brooksville News. As.a “come back” the editor of the News, after explaining why it was necessary to have the paper printed in a large plant where a thirty-thou- sand circulation could be handled ex- peditiously, has this to say on the matter of typographical errors: i The News is inclined to be grateful to the Tribune for cal- ling attention to a lone typo- graphical error, which is found in a News headline. As one swal- low does not make spring, -sq. one typographical error does not make a “cheap’” paper, especially when it can be stated truthfully, that the headlines of the News are suppiied in Chicago after the - balance of the paper is made up, and on very short nouce. 1f one typographical error in the News constitutes “cheap- ness,” what must be said of thé Tribune which, in criticizing the error of the News, itself com- mits both a typographical and a “grammatical” error on the same word, when it says: “It can not be claimed that the idea is to obtain a ‘high’ class of work than the home papers,” etc. The Tribune was, on Sunday, June 18, a still greater offender when it printed, upside down, on its first page, a cut represent- ing Madero, Jr., and his cohorts entering the ¢ity of Mexico. The slip-up on the part of the make- up man was excusable, however, as he probably took it for a cut which should represent the hav- oc caused by the earthquake which preceded Madero. Typographical errors, howev- er, are §o common in almost all newspapers that those mentioned herein will not in the least mili- tate against the usefulness of the splendid Tampa Tribune or curtail the circulation of the News. One newspaper (Star), which attempted to enlarge on the Tri- bune’s criticism of the News fell down awfully, for in a half-col- umn article it made eight typo- graphical errors, including the orthography of cypress, which it spelled “sypress.” The same paper misquoted the News when it said “isolated from civilization,” whereas the News had it “isolated from the balance of eclvilization.” The juggling with the spel- ling of a proper name, indulged in by the writer of the errorful article, is an ancient pastime, and, as criticism, is considered irrelevant, incompetent, and al- together vain and evanescent. Unless you are looking for a-quiet place to rest for a while you can well afford to pass by the store that does not advertise. tises wants your trade and incurs trouble and-expense to convince you of it. The store that doesn’t doesn’t. For the Public Good. One hears a good deal about the power. of the press, but. the fact is that no newspaper has very much real power over men or events in these days unless' it is known to ‘be standing sanely and steadfastly for the_welfare of the whole community and nation. The day of the party organs is past. Sensational papers appealing to popular passions cannot move thoughtful men—the men who make history. The only kind of news- paper that really has tremendous power in these days is the indepen- dent, reliable, disinterested journal of wide circulation, whose columns are known to stand always for the general good—for public honesty and a square deal, whatever happens. An| excellent example of this sort of jour- nalism is The Chicago Record-Her- ald. It has the- enormous circula- tion that deservedly goes with the printing of all the news, but its pow- er lies in its wise, conservative, in- dependent editorial policy, which is shaped with one sole end in view— the public good. Its news and criti- cal columns show the same spiri It is an ideal paper for the home.

In the first place they appreciate your business enough to ask for it. Then, again, they tell what they have to sell and for how much. You know when you leave home what you’re going after, how much it will cost and above all, where you can get it. It. is therefore not only to your advantage as a shop- ping convenience to buy from the stores that adver- tise, but advantageous to your purse as well. Don’t hesitate to buy from the advertiser, you have every reason not to, you have .. not from the non-advertiser.
