and has been a student Of things

in these years Of toll and study
there never has been a time when
tine demand for space was so
great for advertisements by
questionable institutions and
enterprises as at present.
From every quarter come
propositions 70 promote business
ventures or to boost foreign
frms. And the editors, who are
regarded by some as barnicles on
the body polite, are protecting
tie public from the ravages Of
such concerns by refusing them
space.
The brewery ads. the fake
Doctors notices, the mining
stock proposition, and many
more, come daily to the country
editor and are turned down with
out pomp or ceremony.
From a money view point these
would yield rich returns, but
the conscientious publisher for
goes his pinching need for mon
ey that the public may be pro-
tected from vice and graft. After
doing this the only returns he
gets IS the promptings Of an APP

and fanatics curse him because
he don't howl like a hungry
hound and make complete and
symetrical damphool of himself
