soundness of the business involved,
and as to that we have raised no dis
pute. We beg leave, however, to sug-
gest that to us 1t seems that our friend
is not altogether happy in the use of
language, for we cannot get around
the proposition that, If this arrange
ment under which transportation Is ex-
changed for advertising puts the edi-
tor under obligation to the railroad,
there must be some moral wrong. The
editors highest and most solemn duty
is to his clientile alone, and he must
not be under obligation to- anybody.
And as to railroad dictations In the
matter, we. must also disagree. The
only ground upon which It is proper to
expect a railroad to advertise is profit
OF course the profit is or should be
mutual. If it is not mutual, then one
party is certainly wronging the other.
But it Is the privilege of both parties
to decline to do business Of this kind,
regardless of profit. If the railroads
should take this position, we dare say
1t would not be the first instance Of the
kind that ever came under the Obser-
ver's notice. In other cases it has gone
on catering to people who looked upon
its wares in a different light, and II
would no doubt do the same in this
case. We certainly must not kick
against individuals or corporations
that refuse to advertise, even though
they may feel sure that advertising
would be profitable to them. 49,. ...
We say again that the trouble in this
matter is with the newspapers. If they
get too little for their advertising, 1t Is
their own fault. However, 1t is fair to
say that the railroads are not the only
sinners. Most patent medicine con.
Germs work the same principle that the
railroads are working. They say, I'll
give so much for your advertising
space and you may take 1t or let II
alone. Most Of the newspapers take 1t
We are among the sinners in one case
but not in the other. We do not fee
justified in giving advice in a case
where we are guilty Of similar trans
gression; but we have no hesitation In
saying that the best solution Of this
railroad advertising question is for the
newspapers to demand space rates
and if the RAILROADS are unwilling tt
come across, why let the newspapers
decline to give up. their space on any
other basis. .... .......
