The best efforts of The Sun ar

The best efforts of The Sun are to protect its readers and give them notice of grating schemes. Many advertisements are not ac. cepted for that reason. Not being all-wise sometimes we make mis- takes, but not intentionally or for money.
 A merchant may sell his goods to any person who will pay for them and it is legitimate-a news paper has no right to indescrimi. nately sell space for advertising because it is paid for. There is a moral obligation to each reader that is worth more than money especially to a local paper that is worth the price of subscription.
