NEWSPAPER SECRETS

In a recent article commenting
on the eff orts of various organiza-
tions to secure free publicity, an
Illinois editor make statement that
it took money to run newspaper.
Many other editors are laboring
under a similar delusion, and for
the benefit of this class. Thomas w.
Mayo, publisher of the Record, ST.
Anne, ILL.,, pens the following:
1t takes money TO run a news
paper? What an exaggeruon.
What a whopper. 1t doesn't
take any money to run q news
paper. 1t can run without money
1t is not a business venture. 1t Is
a charitable institution, begging
concern, high way robber. The
newspaper is child of the air,
creature of dream. 1t can go on
and on, when any other concern
would be in the hands of the
receiver and wound up with cob
webs IN the windows.
1t takes wind to run a news
paper; it takes gall to run a news
paper; it take scintillating,
acrobatic imagination, half a dozen
white SHIRTS and a railroad pass to
run newspaper. But money,
heavens to Betsy and six hands
around. whoever needed money to
conduct a newspaper? Kind words
are the medium of exchange that
do the business for the editor
kind words and church sociable
tickets. When you see an editor
with money, watch him. He'll be
paying his bills and disgracing his
profession. Never give money TO
an editor. Make him trade 1T out.
He likes swap.
Then when you. die, after you have
stood around for years and sneereC
at the editor and his little Jim
Crow paler, be sure that you have
your wife send in for three extra
copies by one of your weeping
children, and when she reads the
generous and touching notice about
you, forewarn her to neglect to
send the editor fifteen cents. 1t
would overwhelm him. M oney is
a corrupting thing. The editor
knows it, and what he wants is
your heartfelt thanks; then he can
thank the printers and they can
thank the grocers. Give your job
work to travelling man and then
ask for half rates for church
notices. Get your lodge letter
heads and stationery printed out
of town and then flood the editor
with beautiful thoughts in resolu-
tions of respect and cards of
thanks. They make such spicy
reading and you are so proud OF
your local paper when you pick il
up filled with these Clio wing
mortuary articles.
But money-scorn the filthy
thing. Don't let the pure inoocent
editor know anything about it.
Keep that for sordid trades people
who charge for their wares. The
editor gives his bounty away.
The Lord loves cheerful giver.
He takes care of the editor. Don't
worry about the editor. H. has q
charter from tie state to act as
a door mat for the community.
He will get out the paper SOM,
how; and stand up for Inc town
and whoop 1t up for you when you
run for office. Don't worry about
the editor-he'll get on. The Loi d
knows how--but somehow.
