necessary. The editor has a
good deal of faith in mankind
generally, and keeps it going
smooth by continual practice,
and is satisfied to let his dealer
make a living profit.
The average country editor
has fixed price on the things
he has to sell, yet there are
dealers, corporations and COM
panies that do not even think of
having two dollars worth of job
printing done without first call
ing for competitive bids.
But that's business, and while
it lessons the earnings justly be-
longing to the printer, it in
creases just that much the pro-
fits of the printers customer,
and the bigger the customer, the
greater must be his toll from the
print shop.

''blow' being corruption Of bloom
it is the other way about. Blossom
comes from the same root. We do not

our forefathers set great store by the

POSING AS PAUPERS

Inc OU. dul L lOuScI L ISSS
paid The Herald the compliment
of reprinting a portion of it's edi-
torial of October Is entitled Re
ligion and Business" A rever-
end professor in a theological
seminary situated in the twin
cities saw it and thought he
would like to have the article in
full. So he wrote The Herald as
follows:
Dear Sir:-Would be obliged
if you would send me a copy of
Herald containing editorial on
church fairs etc. Thanking you
for this favor, I am yours re-
spectfully:"
For obvious reasons the name
of the writer is not printed here
but any person curious to know
can see the original request by
calling at The Herald Office.
In the same mail came a letter
from woman in the northern
part Of the state asking for two
copies of The Herald and enclos-
ing ten cents worth of stamps in
payment therefor. The request
from the theological seminary
divine was written on a postal
card and contained no remit
lance. But the writer said
thank you," and that was worth
something even if it could not be
cashed at the bank.
Here is concrete illustration
of the truth TIL e Herald has
been enunciating in it's editorial
columns, that the clergy depends,
to greater or less extent, upon
gratuities for it's support.
Here is man who has a good
position, regular salary and all
that sort of thing, who asks for
a "handout" in the form of a
copy of a newspaper. T h e
"handout'' is small, of course,
being only a nickel. In a local
pulpit, recently, the preacher
said, among other things, that:
Conduct is the index of charac-
ter" The professors conduct in
working newspaper publisher
for five cent gratuity must, on
that basis, be the index of a
mighty small character. On the
other hand, the unknown woman
encloses the price of two papers.
Note the difference.
The press is worked not only
by the preacher but also by the
church. Salvation is free and
the average church acts as
though it thought everything
the newspaper does for t h e
church ought to be done gratis.
Fact is, both preacher and church
pose as paupers. And there is
no good reason why they should.
They ought to pay their bills
and not ask for gratuities. If
they did, they would be far more
highly respected than they are
and would also be able to do
much more for the cause of pure
religion and the betterment OF
