I3 IR R RS SRR EEEEE RS *»'¥ FAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGM ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO SRANCHES IN ALl ThHF PRINCIPAL CITIEY ADVERTISING REJECTED The Pioneer has received the fol- lowing information in the form of an advertising agreement. The agreement is as follows: ““Could you accept a display adver- tisement of 6 columns, ten inches to run for a period of twelve months in both your daily and weekly paper reading in substance somewhat as follows: “HOW TO GET YOUR RAILROAD FARE FREE. To and from........ round trip. Railroad and trolley fares will be refunded to non-resi- O OE o i iiinmnhas for purchases made of stores belonging to retail or- ganization. Passes and mileage books will be recognized the same as tickets. The basis of refund is a dollar a mile. If you live 100 miles and buy $100 worth at the stores be- longing to the association you will be refunded your entire fare and in addition a certain per cent, ete.” The Pioneer turned down this ad- vertising contract, replying to the agency that was handling the con- tract that it was deemed advisable not to run this class of advertising in its columns. The full face of the contract amounted to over $900 but we believe loyalty to the city and its businéss men is worth more than this aniount. -MEXICAN SITUATION BAD. Reéports from Mexico and the Mex- ican border continue to be most dis- coliraging. The military authorities déclare that it may take months to get Villa who has not been slow to avhil' himself of the long start afs forded him by the unprepared' con= dition of the army-and the veecillation of the administration in Washington. Reports from Mexico City and that vieinity indicate that the Carranza regime is tottering and liable to fall at any moment. Mexican dollars are now worth two cents; United States money. Members of congress, say Wash- ington reports, are being flooded with: telegrams and petitions "from atong: the border pleading for in- creased military protectien and there are practically no more troops to send unless the militia is called -out.
