Gratis Newspaper Work.


BOOMING PUBLIC ENTERPRISES WITHOUT
REMUNERATION OR THANKS.
Newspaper men are long-suffering
tribe. Next to preachers. they are
more imposed upon than any other
class What man OF them cannot
vouch for the truth OF this statement
They are expected to spend their
own time and pay the printers for
working up all sorts Of public enter
prises without remuneration, and IN
mary cases without thanks.
It's supposed that it is the duty Of
newspapers to serve the pubIis gratis
in snch affairs. and it is to certain
extent. but few people realize how
much more than their share the news
paper mon are called upon to contrib
ute.
Take for example, an entertainment
to be given for some benevolent object.
The newspaper prints good notice of
it, as matter Of news in which the
public is interested. Its duty to its
readers is then discharged. but in or
der to make the entertainment sue
cess the paper is called upon to write
the events up time and again. Per-
haps it prints, first and last, two or
three columns TO boom the under
taking.
Taking into account the pay for re-
porters, editors, printers. pressmen.
carriers, paper, ink and other expen-
ses, it will probably cost the paper
$25 or $50. The lawyers, doctors.
merchants and people of other callings
come along on the evening of the en-
tertainment and pay the admission
price of 20 cents or dollar each. are
applauded for the liberal patronage
and are supposed to have done equally
as much or more than the editor.
If the trouble ended here it would
not be SO bad, for the paper would at
least have the satisfaction Of knowing
that it had acted patriotic or charil-
able part, but this is only portion of
the thanks for the work that is put
upon it.
People are constantly wanting free
private advertisements. Editors are

erzsily of no earthly interest to their
readers, and frequently couched in
most execrable English. This applies
more particularly TO the weekly than
the city dailies.
So frequent and intolerable has it
become in North Carolina. that the
Press Associatian of the State recently
resolved that no more such matter
should be published, except at the rate
OF cents per line.
The newspapers always have been
and always will be willing to do more
than their share in all public enter
prises, but people nhould realize the
extent OF their gratis work and give
them credit for it-Knoxville Sentinel.

Newspapers like many other kinds

not the kind OF patronage to build up
newspapers. and the parties who do it

The Yost
WRITING MACHINE.

Years ago, Mrs. Yost built type
writer, the Remington No. 2 and
Caligraph which were good enough
then. But the family has increased
by thousands. Other folks have
hitched on extensions to hold 'em.
But it's the same old typewriter,
same ribbon, same scales, same
rickety print. We want something
modern, and we get it in the New
YosT, which rises superior to the
difficulties of any ribbon machine.
The ribbon blurs print, wears full
of holes, clogs type, takes power to
pull it along, weakens manifolding
and costs IS or SO a year. Our
ink pad outlasts twenty ribbons.
Can be changed in ten seconds, and
costs less than 81 a year. And as
to permanent alignment the YosT
is the only machine which accom-
plishes this much desired feat.
