In q false position by parties whose
motives are too patent to need ex-
PLANTATION here, is impelled to place
itself right before its readers lest
some Of them may constructs silence
into an acknowledgment OF the cor
rectness OF misleading and unfair
statements and insinuations. This
paper has no apologies to make Tor
having published the advertising OF
the Business Mems Association Of
Washington; but right in the begin
ming 1t denounces as absolutely IN
true the statement that it advised
any man, woman or child to make
purchases in Washington or else
where outside OF Fredericksburg.
The aforesaid advertisement came
absolutely without solicitation OF
any kind in the regular channels OF
business, just as any other advertise
ments come, and was accepted as
legitimate advertising, which 1t was,
and paid for at the usual rates
charged advertisers using these col
umns. The case Is exactly parallel
with the advertising OF the Freder-
icksburg Business Mems Association
In the Tappahannock, Urbanna,
Warsaw and IrviDgton papers. The
acceptance OF the advertisement IN
question was nothing unusual, solar
as concerns the newspaper business
Many papers OF standing inVirginia,
Maryland and West Virginia, with
calculations large enough to attract
The attention OF general advertisers
have been offered and are accepting
this business. AS we said above, the
down the river papers accept, when
offered, the advertising OF the local
Business Mems Association, though
each of them is published in a town
having number OF local business
houses.
There can be nothing improper
about this and it is constantly done
by newspapers all over the country
1t cannot by any Misrepresentation
be made to appear that localnews-
paper by the acceptance OF such ad-
vertising advises its readers to buy
or trade with outside cities, and
those OF our people who have been
readers OF thi- newspaper know, or
ought to know, that its policy for
years has bean Just the contrary
This paper as In editorial after

advised an urged the peo-
pie OF this 81 Y and surrounding
country to make their purchases in
Fredericksburg, and its constant
effort has BEEN to build up the trade
OF It's home-eity: To say that 1t has
is,sbs past done otherwise, or is now
doing otherwi'e, is to make a state
ment totally at variance with the
facts. Provided always that adver-
Using is proper, newspapers accept

make the advice contained in or
offered by the advertiser In his ad-
vertisement their advice. On the
contrary. taking the case under dis
cussion, our advicehas been and still
is and will continue to be "to bny at

the Washington Business Mems AS
ISOLATION naturally advises people to
buy in Washington. We are not re-
sponsible for this, and no stretch OF
imagination, however distorted, can
make this advice ours. This news

with its readers, secure in the convic'
ton that its action has been entirely
proper and legitimate.
