that all kinds of advertising has some
value, we belive that newspaper adj

cheapest. Take one thousand 6x9

s2.75 to have them printed and a dol
lar t have them thrown in peoples
yards by boys. Not n in ten OF
the dodgers will ever be picked up

The subscribers pay for the right TO
read them, and the people who can

Certainly the Wall street gambling
interests have money and political
power which make it dangerous for
politicians to oppose their methods of
operation-but the interests of the
American people are important
than those of the office hunters. Let
there be no rest until stock and grain
gambling are classed with sorts
of gambling and grand larceny.

business, though it affects legitimate
