The Would Be Boycotter
Properly Answered.

Every once in a while some foolish
person proposes to boycott something.
Sometimes the object of the boycott
is a newspaper or newspapers. Usual
Nv the man who proposes the boycott
for newspaper is an advertiser. Be
cause he is an advertiser ne tmagines
he has a sort of proprietary interest
in the newspaper and a consequent
right to its editorial and news policy.
The president of an automobile COM
pany is one OF the most recent ad-
vocates of the boycott as a means Of
controlling editorial opinion. but he
now no doubt wishes he hadn't said
anything. From the storm of editorial
criticism that has broken about this
mans head we select the following
very sensible editorial from the Brook
lyn Eagle which completely answers
him. The Eagle says:

Packard Motor Company. believes in
boycotting newspapers whose editorial
policies are in his opinion. inimiCal to

lation.

there can be no doubt. but the wisdom
of such a policy as he proposes may
we'll be questioned In the first place
he would exclude himself from many
OF the country's best publicity medi-
ums No political policy Of large i'm
portance ever finds the newspapers of
the country unanimous in praise or
condemnation. And those newspapers
which disagreed with Mr.. JOY might
very properly resent the policy of a
business man who withdrew his pa
tronage because Of an honest express
sion of opinion. The boycott is 3 two
edged sword.
Moreover the American public is
quick to smell out the newspaper that
can be bought. 1t doesn't think much
of a newspaper whose editorial opinion
can he had for the paying, and 1t has

readers confidence in everything the
paper contains is destroyed in just the
proportion that it's honest opinion Is
repressed.
