Another Delicate Suggestion
About Record Accounts

We have told you something about
the paper famine and the High Price.
II is really quite serious matter
with all newspapers. Paper costs
more than double what it did a
year ago. The high price cuts the
profit out of the subscription busi-
ness. even where every subscriber
pays promptly. Some papers have
gone out of business and others
have raised prices.
We do not want TO raise the price
at present.
But We must collect subscriptions
more promptly. We cannot afford to
send The Record to anybody who
does not intend to pay for il.
We have mailed every delinquent
subscriber several bills this sum-
mer. Many have paid up. Some
have not. II you have not Please
write US.
Pay what you can II you can't
pay all then pay something on the
account. Let US know that you ap-
preciate The Record and intend TO
pay the account.

page. II is a dandy. Add s1-50 to
your bill and we will send all FIVE

from anybody and much advertising
will never buy any political favors.
In fact, it often happens that the
candidate We give the most hearty
support to does the least advertis-
ing.
In the late primary campaign for
example The Record gave very prom
inent support to Gov. Carlson, yet
he, nor none of his friends spent a
single dollar for anything in The
Record.
Many people place an exaggerated
estimate on the volume of political
advertising a newspaper carries. All
the advertising The Record carried
for all the candidates in the late
primary contest did not total 5000
The largest bill was that of Mr..
McClelland, $3.50. The next was
that of Mr.. Nicholson, $1,000. Others
ran from $3.50 to $1,000.
What We would lave you under
stand is that money has little to do
in shaping the political policies of
newspapers these days. What is
true of Fremont County AID The
Record is no doubt true in most coun
ties and newspaper offices in the
state.

ABOUT PARTY POLITICS
AND POLITICAL ADVERTISING

The policy that newspapers adopt
toward the business side OF party
politics has changed considerably In
the past decade.
In years past IL was the custom for
county chairmen to make an appro-
priation for his party papers Thea
IL was considered good form for
each candidate who felt literally
disposed to drop into the office OF select
ed newspapers and hand out q five or
a ten with the hope that such papers
would "whoop il up" for him until
election day.
But so far as The Record is con
cerned such customs were discon-
tinued years ago. And we believe
that many newspapers are falling
m With this new view of things
The political ad offers an oppor-
tunity for each party and candidate
to bring its or his or her claims be-
fore the people in digniied man
ner.
The political ad is now considered
good form and good political busi-
ness and is being used literally.
The political ad is open and
above board. There is no misunder
standing about it. The reader knows
IL is an ad. The reader Is usually
intelligent enough to consider II fair
ly. and separate the wheat from the
chaf.
AS for The Record we like the new
order OF things immensely.
We never did like the old fash
ioned-pass-the-h hat and help the poor
blind-man policy.
And under the present manage
ment-which has continued the same
row for nearly twenty-five years
we never participated in that policy
of political favor very long.
A long time ago we got over the
idea that many folks. and some
young newspaper folks. too. enter
tain that there Is much money to be
made from politics at election time
A long time ago we cut out the
custom OF accepting donations or
tips from candidates or political
managers.
We will be frank and admit that
one thing that helped us to see the
light was the size OF the donations.
After many years observation we
can say that in our humble opinion
all the donations In this county &c
all the newspapers in twenty years
if put in one lump sum and offered
as sort of brihe to one OF doubtful
character. wouldn't tempt him to go
very far wrong.
If you hear bunch OF old time
politicians talking about how thev
used to fix the newspapers you would
be led to believe that every news
paper man ought to be able to buy
new automobile every election
year. But take IL from ns--and we
know-any newspaper man in this
county would have had a hard time
supplying his Ford with gasoline
from political funds any election
year in the past two decades.
We like the present business.like.

is disappointed.
Under the old system. il a county
chairman handed newspaper man
check for fifty dollars he thought
he had bought the paper and all the
columns therein
When a candidate mailed a check
to a newspaper he felt a glow OF
pride like Carnhgie probably feels
when he hands a town a library. and
he was usually disappointed II he
didn't get a column or two of full
some praise in every subsequent is
sue.
We remember n county chairman
who called at The Record office
many years ago TO make the usual
campaign offering. He made a very
good campaign speech of apprecia-
ton of the political work done by
The Record and in closing went on
TO say that he did not know what
had been the custom in the past. but
he intended to be very liberal with
the newspapers which had been as
true TO the party as The Record had
always been Then he took out his
check book. II seemed to the
young man behind the desk that il
took that man a full hour to execute
and deliver that check. and visions
of figures ranging from $500 to $500,
and down to $500 fitted thru his ex-
cited imagination. Finally the
check. being the payment for a full
seasons political activities, as the
county chairman considered il. was
executed and delivered and il was
found to be for the noble sum of
$50.
Other chairmen have been more
liberal and other years more profit
able. But never In all the years we
have watched the game in this
county have the total political
donations" in any election year
amounted to enough to justify that
feeling Of serviiity which dominates
the man who accepts gratuities in
his business.
So years ago The Record took an
advanced stand--it declined all poll
tical contributions. II put political
advertising on business basis.
In past years, even this year. The
Record has returned checks sent in
with the best intentions and often
by personal friends We do II kind
ly and politely. and with TIE request
that the party should see the adver-
tising man and arrange for any adv
space desired

Reduction Of Egotism
One of the Bene6cent
Effects of War
By DR.. G. STANLEY HALL,
President Of Clark University

I HAVE tried to think what good

comfort in the sublime spectacle OF
the youth of all nations in America

rancors draw them into conflict.

OF AMERICANS THE TRUE YER

One of the benefcent effects of
war is that it brings men of one ma
tionality together. They huddle to-
gether as animals do in time of dan

reduces egotism. The individual
sinks himself in the mass. He real

We Need a Well Bal
anced Navy With a
Backbone Of Dreadnaughts
BY WILLIAM e. SIMONS. Writer
on Naval Subjects

THE pregnant lesson of the re-
cent naval battle in the North
sea is the imperative need of
dreadnaughts. We have some un-
surpassed units of the class in our
navy, but we need more. We have
no battle cruisers, and We need
some badly. But it would be ia
tai mistake to assume that we need
battle cruisers only. THAT CAN
PROCEED ONLY FROM A MIS-
CONCEPTION OF THE FUNC-
TIONS OF THAT CLASS OF
VESSEL.
That its fighting power under ia
voring conditions is formidable was
conclusively shown in the action of
the Falkland islands and later in
that on the Dogger bank.
