In a recent article commenting on the efforts of various organizations to secure free publicity, an Illinois editor made tbe statement that it took money to run a newspaper. Many other editors are laboring un der a similar delusion, and for tbe benefit of this class, Tnomas W. May. publisher of the-Record. St. Anne, 111., pens the following: It takes money to run a newspaper? What an exaggeration. „ What a whopper*. It doesn’t tase any money to run a newspaper. It can run with out money. It is not a business ven ture. It is a charitaole institution, a begging concern, a highway robber. Tbe newspaper is a ciuid of the air. a creature of a dream. It can go on and on and on, when any other con cern would be in the bands of the re ceiver and wound up with cobwebs in the windows. . ‘Tt takes wind to run a newspaper; it takes gsll to run a dewspaper. It takes scintillating, acrobatic imagin ation, half a dozen white shirts and a railroad pass to run c 0 newspaper. But money, heavens to Betsey and six bandi around, whoever needed mon- ronCn-t a r*w*oaper? Kind ey to coi wllsnpamd' by ijne of jr •'da am tha medium Of ’exchange that do tgo ousines* tor the editor— king Fords and church docuu tickets. When you see an editor with money, watch him. He ll be paying his bills and disgracing his pfotceetofi. Never give ipoaey to an editor. Make him trade.out.

Then make such spicy reading, and you are so proud of your local paper when you pick it iUlvu with these glowing mortuary X’Bfit Woi»«y—scorn the filthy thing Don’t let the pure innocent editor know anything about it. Keep that for sordid trades people who charge for their wares. The ec.tor gives hit bounty away. T'ue Lord loves a cheerful fiver. Me takes care of the editor. Dont’t worry about the editor. He has a charter from tbe State to act as a door mat for the community He will get out the paper somehow; and stand up for the town and whoop it up for you when jou ian for office.
