Continued from last issue

A publisher had typesetting ma
chine that was not getting paid for
according to contract and they were
pressing him for payments. 1t was
campaign year and he went to some
of the politicians who expected to be
candidates and proposed to each Of
them that he put sum of money
into the editors treasury, and in re-
turn, the editor would do what he
could to advance his candidacy. 1t
worked. A number of the fellows
forked over good sums of. money.
Later on in the campaign the same
publisher found he could use more
of the same brand of money and he
went to some of the others with the
same proposition and by the time he
had gotten around he found that he
had taken money from men who
were in the race against each other.
In his newspaper expressions regard
ing candidates he "straddled," and
worked various expedients and in the
end had some rows, but he kept the
money.
After the election avs over and
the fellows had cooled down, after
they had gotten over the soreness Of
the situation, he went to some of
them with this kind of talk: Say,
! am ashamed of the way I treated
you in the campaign; took your
good money fully intending to keep
faith with you, but got into such
a predicament for money that when
the other fellow came to me and Of
cred to put a hundred dollars for
the support of my paper, / jumped at
the hundred dollars and before l
knew it / had the money and had
promised. Then l remembered that
you and he were going to run for
the same office, and l didn't know
what to do and have never known till
now. l can't pay you back the
money because haven't got it. But
I'll tell you how you can get it back.
You can take this receipt book, and
every time you find somebody who
wants to subscribe for my paper and
every time you find somebody with
pay you the money and when he ex-
hibits his receipt to me l will fur
nish him what he paid for You may
make receipts up to one hundred
dollars in that way; yes, I'll do bet
ter than that; I'll allow you to go
up to $3.50 and that will give you
$50 interest and commission"
The plan worked, with the result
that number of the fellows he had
betrayed were out soliciting business
for him in season and out of season.
They even told what good paper
it was and how reliable.
XXI.
Some newspapers adopt a policy of
bribery that is not bribery. 1t is
looked upon as business" and it |
works with lots of people The mer-
chant who does advertising in the
paper finds that his comings and go
ings are noticed in the news items
more than those who do not adver-
tise. The wife and family of the
one who advertises find that their
social affairs receive attention in the
paper and the other does not. Some
times publishers follow this plan
carefully, and If man has any kind
of printing patronage and does not
give it to them, nothing that he or
his family does is mentioned in the
press reports. 1t is a short-sighted
policy and its history runs like this:
When I tickle you
And you tickle me
There's nobody knows
How big we may be.
