Too Much Free Advertising.

Racing stewards who will not heed
the criticism of honest men should be
renewed from duty. They arc unfit for
office. Ii the newspapers would stand
together, they could bring the monarchs
OF racing to their knees in jiffy Where
would racing be but for the miles of
laudation freely bestowed OH it? Racing
associations have been honeyed, jollied,
pampered, wheedled, cajoled, fawned
upon and plastered with adulation until
they are MS insolent as cable road.
The papers give them too much. OF all
the institutions in this country tho turf
receives the largest amount of free adj
vertlsing III proportion to its public in
terest and usefulness. New York Press.

him on his knee. Itso happened that at
this particular time no wished to make
friends with him in order to stand we'll
with his parents.

Tho boy looked as if he doubted it,
but he held his peace.
''That is" explained the visitor, in
order that there should be 10 mistake,
Il like good little boys, and you're a
good little boy, aren't your"
'Well," returned the boy cautiously,
there arc lot worse than me OH our
street."
II want that you should like me,
too" persisted the visitor.
Again the boy was wise enough to
hold his peace, but he looked as if he
thought the job was pretty big one
The expression was not lost OH the Wis
itor.
Don't you like me nowp' he asked.
The boy looked at the visitor and
sighed. Then he looked at his father,
and his expression was one of great
doubt.
Pop" he said at last, "does all that
stuff that you told me about never tell

Then the meeting was promptly nd
journod amid considerable confusion. -

Why Sommercamp, of course.
The pedler of Il So bill file with 500
cheaply printed bill heads on cheap

Don't want to look at it, said
Bill.
But this is the cheapest thing you
ever saw-a bargain, said pedler.
"Don care, said Bill, Il don't
run my business on the niggardly
plan. | want decent stationery in
harmony with my business position.
| have never sent dollar away for
printing rs long as | have been i'll

than | would have To pay some city

not break me up, The $40 or $50 ex-
ira on Il year 5 supply. If | pay him
more, my business gets resultant
benefit Tor his existence here and the
work lie Is engaged III.
Pedier saw II was Il hopeless case
but mentally SAID "Lnere are others,
and there were.
There was truth in what Bill said.
A dealer may save 81 or 81 or So ON
job of printing by getting his sup
plies from some cheap far away
mousse, but 1t is just as true that a
customer of the dealer could save 81
or 81 or So by making his purchase
of some cheap bargain house iii some
city and having il sent by mail. Ii
man pays the local merchant more
for an article lie gets resultant
benefit from the building up of a
substantial business concern in his
locality. If the merchant pays the
local printer more, he gets an offset
ting benefit from the aid undeniably
given by live newspaper in the de-
velopment and growth of the coun-
try, and patronage is the soul Of Il
live, creditable paper.
Mr.. Sommercamp is not the only
business man to follow this wise plan,
