A Newspaper Must Keep
Faith With The Public

nartments from the business depart
mant remember an experience in
the conduct of the Chicago Daliy
News The paper was young and
STRUGGLING. but was building up what
T conceived to be the most valuable
asset a newspaper can have, nameiy
the faith of the public in its integrity,
large dry goods establishment IN
Chicago which mad been advertising
extensively in the paper asked Tor

exceedingly valuable, but the sooo

dry goods merchant that the first line
youd cost him a million dollars and
the other two lines would cost nun

The Only Safe Course.
In the conduct of newspaper
every advertisement should De print
ed as such. so that every reader ma!
know that he is reading an advertise
nent or reading the news or reading
an editorial, and should never De con-
fused in respect of it. This Is the
only, safe course and the only line OF
conduct which will command public

essentially corrupt in either case, Ana

The temptation to Il newspaper TO
