AGAINST FREE ADVERTISING.
Sound Views by an Iowa Editor on
Gratuitous Publicity.

At recent editorial confab In
Davenport David Brant, editor of the
Iowa City Republican, gave his views
on the subject of gratuitous advertis-
ing. If newspaper men are imposed
upon by all sorts and conditions OF
dead beats they have themselves to
blame for It, Mr.. Brant said. He
thought 1t was a mistake even to ac-
cept tickets to entertainments, be-
cause by so doing the editor places
himself under an obligation that he
will be called upon In, some way to
discharge. Editors. like other people,
should pay for what they get and
charge for what they do, in Mr..
Brant's opinion.
Among the most persistent seekers
for free ads, said Mr.. Brant, are
churches and charitable organiza-
tions. Managers of country fairs,
Chautauqua assemblies and street
carnivals are in the same class. The
carnivals are generally promoted by
business men who are friends of the
paper, possibly advertisers in It, and
often, said Mr.. Brant, ask of the pub
Usher such favors as they themselves
would not think of granting to any
body.
A plea is sometimes made that
newspaper ought to support a street
fair because II brings business to the
town, but no such argument is used
as a reason why persons who render
otheS services than advertising to
the enterprise should give their labor
for nothing. Mr.. Brant continued:
Let a new enterprise be pro.
posed in city and the newspaper is
J expected to push 1t, and 1t should
do SO to a reasonable extent. Yet
the editor gives what costs many dol.
lars, while his business associates
| generally push business all day and
only at night are they willing to do
committee work. i have known of
cases where business men were paid
for their time soliciting stock for q
corporation to be engaged IN manu-.
featuring while the newspaper was
whooping it up free of charge day
after day.
Il submit that 1t would be only
a matter of justice, for the promoters
of such enterprises to go to news
paper and engage space and pay for
it, at least in stock of the concern
being promoted. In such cases the
newspaper is the only vehicle of free
use and II there is any reason why
this should be SO, fail to see it.
THE publisher who gives his
space free is doing himself an injus-
tice, for If he happens to owe any
of these merchants or bankers any
thing and Is not able to meet his OBJ
legations promptly, he is at once des-
ignated poor business man and the
query is made why newspaper men
cannot do business as others. And
we ask the same question to-day. If
he would say, Gentlemen, we have
space to sell and here is the price
list there would be more respect
for the publisher"
AS result of Mr.. Brant's talk the
association to which he belongs
passed a resolution declaring that
county fairs, Chautauquas, etc.,
should pay for their advertising.

General Demand

of the Well Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com

acceptable to the system and gentle, yet

In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and

Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for its remark
able success.
