MORRIS, EDITOR ~ E. SO frequently discuss our troubles and woes with readers in this column that, even at the expense of being embarrassed by circulating praise of ourselves, we are going to tell something that made us feel pretty good the other day. A friend and reader wrote us that he had asked the editor of one of the few really progressive farm papers of the coun- try to give a frank opinion about the Leader. “The Leader is the livest farm paper in the United States,” said -this editor. “It would be a calamity if the farmers failed to appreciate it and did not support the paper faithfully.” It makes us blush to repeat such nice things said about us, * * % * * Before we get to talking about more of our troubles, let it also be said that we have been pleased because each mail is bringing letters praising the Leader. for'the stand it has taken concerning the railroads. Along with these it is true that we did receive one or two letters from readers who evidently hadn’t read our explanation of why we took the railroad executives’ ads, and who said they were disappointed that we should permit such “misleading” advertising in our columns. But almost all who have written us on the subject have understood our position, and have been glad to see the railroad gdvertising in the Leader, ' when at the same time they could see the railroad arguments answered in the editorial columns. But no publication deserves praise for not letting corpora- tion advertising affect its editorial opinion. It is a sad comment on American journalism that when a paper like the Leader points out the false arguments of corporation “publicity” appearing in its ad columns, it should be occasion for readers to congratulate the editor. It ought to be a matter of course for edi- tors to be independent. There is no reason why the Leader should deny cor- porations free speech by closing its advertising columns to them when they are willing to pay. for the space at regular rates in order to put their arguments before the public.- But the Leader deserves no praise for refusing to let this advertising affect its opinion, and for editorially answering what we believe are unsound arguments put out by the railroads in the ads. Every publication ‘should thus protect its readers. * & * * * There will be onc more John Lord article and it will appear in the next issue. The concluding chapter will deal with monopolies and trusts, other than the financial monopoly, which was covered in Mr. Lord’s first four articles. We continue to get a host of letters about these grticles. The demand for back is- sues containing them has been great, exhausting our extra copies of some issues. Many readers write us they are sending the issues containing the articles to - farmers who do not get the paper. Good work! Nothing we have pl;inted in recent months has produced such a response from oup readers. : : * * R * How do like the Nonpartisan league news department, which we have re- vived in the last few issues? During the summerdthis department was omitted because it was an off-campaign year and the League was more or less marking time in all states, getting ready for the fall and winter membership drive and educational campaign. Now that the harvest is over and all of you have more time to read, and the various state League organizations are getting busy, we believe this department will prove one of the most important features of the paper. = - * * * * %* Do not get impatient if you have asked the law department a question and haven’t seen the answer in print yet. Mr. Day has been overwhelmed with questions and the Leader ¥s somewhat behind in printing answers. If you have asked a question the answer will appear in due time. * * * * * i3 Have you attended to that little matter of business in your locality that we have been asking you about in this column for several issues? We mean seeing to it that there is a Leader circulation representative to look after our circulation in your district. If you can hot devote a few spare hours a week to the work for us this winter, please try to interest someone else in your town- ship in it. Thére is much territory where we have not yet appointed an agent. The circulation department pays a liberal commission to those who undertake the work for us, but of course it is a work. for the cause and we do not feel that money can recompense the hundreds of faithful friends who have already undertaken the work in their districts. We print below the blank for making inquiry about our circulation’plan. If you can not represent us, call the blank to the attention of someone who can.

Such a substance is Viro. Sure death to all rodents—harmless to all other living creatures. Dogs, -cats, chickens, hogs and live stock can eat Viro without harmful results. Thou- sands of farmers used it ‘with won- derful results. If you are bothered with rats, use Viro—they will dis- appear as if by magic. Viro is based on a niew scientific prin- ciple. Simple to* use. Mix cheese, bread, meat or grain with it. Put this inoculated bait where rats can get it. . That's all. As Viro is odor- less and colorless, no rat can dis- ‘t:anl{ulsh between ordinary fgod and Aftar eating bait the rat is at- tacked by a burning thirst that drives it outdoors seeking fresh air and water. - Viro makes rats die outside. No bother from decaying rats. o other rat' killer combines all the ad- vantages of Viro. safely—cheaply. Repeated tests plus the testimony of hundreds of delighted users have proved the merit of Viro beyond the shadow of a doubt. But I don't ask you.to take my word for it.
