THE editor of a New Jersey
paper appeals to his subscrib-
ers for cash as follows: "The
Record" dislikes to destroy the
impression that it is a purely
eleemosynary institution, pub
lished solely from philanthopic
motives, but as its editor can
not initiate the example OF the
Texas publisher, who was
''kept busy playing poker six
nights in a week to make
enough for Saturdays pay roll, !"
he must suggest to many of
his subscribers that he would
be glad to receive remittance
for past due accounts. The
readers of 1.-THE Record" are
getting pretty good newspa-
per for 81 week, and ought
cheerfully to pay their sub
scriptions. Two dollars may
seem a smull sum, but when
several hundred subscriptions
are past due it makes the Ma
tional festival Of Thanksgiv-
ing something of a hollow
mockery for an editor who has
to provide for paying his bills
once a week.
