Commission to Agents.

Frank A. Munsey, the publisher, recently
announced commissions TO advertising agents
had ceased. The Baltimore SIM gave an
outline Of Mr.. Munsey's reason for the dis
continuance and devoted considerable editor
ial space to the matter, announcing that the
SIM had never employed agents or paid
commissions, and that the SIMS business had
come to it voluntarily.
The ADVOCATE is not as old as the SIM,
but the present proprietors have controlled il
for nearly thirty years, and all its basi-
ness is voluntary. The proprietors have
acted upon the theory that paper that Is a
necessity in a community will be voluntarily
supported 1t has larger circulation than
most county journals, and it comes nearer
having prepaid subscription list than any.
1t rarely takes advertisements from adver-
Using agents, and never for less than its al
vertised rates. If the agent gets any com
mission on business with this paper, he get,
it from the advertiser.
We never solicit advertisements, for when
one adyertises by solicitation, such as is usual
ly employed, he rarely appreciates It and pay
with reluctance.
The ADVOCATE, like the Sun, does mo-
stand well with advertising agents, and one
firm at least reports us in their list papers a:
having circulation less than half what j
really is. The favorite papers with mos
agents are those with patent outsides, ant
printed in small towns away from count,
seats. whose circulations are small and whose
existence depends upon continual soliciting
for business, which is taken at any rate tina
can be obtained.

An Unfortunate Participle.

A recent discussion at a dinner
table whether "gotten" or "got"
were the preferable participle,
received practical solution, at
least for the telegraphic service,
from an experience related of
college professor who preferred
"gotten. He had telegraphed
to his wife: "Have gotten tick
cts for the theatcr tonight. Meet
me there
The telegraph operator render
ed this iuto "Have got ten tick
ets," etc.
Mrs Professor was delighted
with the opportunity of entertain>
ing her friends and accordingly
made up a party Of eight besides
herself, whose greetings to the
professor at the rendezvous were
probably more cordial than his
feeling until matters were explain
ed. He now makes an exception
to his customary use of "got.
ten"
