The; articic would probably require a col-i‘ umn of our spacc, and we are as- sured by the eender that it is a “gtory chock full of human interest | —FREE! Oh, yes; and if we shou]d’ show up at the desk of that hotel gome morning and tell the clerk we were broke and hungry, and Would ke to be fed and lodged a few days, | that would be a story full of human] fnterest, too, wouldn't it? And how much time, think you, would it re. quire the aforesaid clerk and his livericl lackeys to huxtle us thence {nto the outer “scenic beauty and grandeur,” which-the article informs: “ue surrounds this high-priced hotel? And yct—despite the fact that it .we were to go to that hotel and ask for a dollar breakfast, we would be segarded as a tramp or a lunatic, here these people ask us, with the ui-, most sangiroid (which in United States mceans monumental and un- adulterated gall) to give them sev-, eral doilars worth of advertisinz, which is what we have to sell, just as food and lodging is what they have to sell. And, mark you, they are sending this stuff to us “FREE"— which means they will kindly refraia from charging us for the privilege of giving away our space to them. These people are evidently living in the past. There was a time when nowspapers “fell” for such imposi-! tlon, and would print all the rot that might be sent to them. Their pro- prietors placed small value on their advertising space and the public took the same view of it. They were chronically hard-up, and, lacking the stimulus that comes of conducting susiness in a business-like way, they were rather indolent and careless ebout preparing matter and wel- comed anything to “fill up.” That day has passed, and the news- paper of the present is a business in- stitution, regarding its advertising 88 a thing of value, its stock in trade, which it will no more give away pro- miscuously than the grocer will give awvay his sugar. It is true that its good nature and public spirit often prompts it to give away much space in puffing local institutions; but lhflll 48 no reason why some concern sev- eral hundred miles away should ex- pect the same thing. This paper is run on a business plan. It has advertising to sell at geasonable rates to all who wish to purchase. It pays its bills as prompt- ly as a bank, and expects to be paid Just as promptly. If what it has to sell is worth anything, it is worth paying the price we ask for it. If it {s not worth anything—well, we just dislike to give anybody something o[' po value, B A prominent business man re- marked to the editor of the Tele- gram: “I was impressed with the {tem in the Telegram a few days asy| relative to the successful operation| of a canning plant here.
