Anthony KIllgOre Tells His Read
ers Why They Ought 10 Pay
For Notices Even OF Enter
tainments For Charity

"Once more" says Anthony Killgore
editor of the Hunterdon County Demo-
crat of Pennington, N. j., in an adj
dress to his readers, W are compelled
to call attention to the fact that all
items sent in as news, but which are
in reality advertising notices calling at
tention to some entertainment given
for the raising of money, must be paid
for. The financial hill is none too eany
for a newspaper to climb in these days,
and the only e of paying his bills
the publisher has is through selling
space in his columns to those who re-
quire publicity"
"The municipality also often requires
publicity, which it tries to avoid pay
ment for, though the publisher is ex-
pected to and does pay his share of
taxes, just the same as any one else.
The public seems to lose sight of the
fact that the newspaper is not a public
property, but that it must be supported
and maintained by the individual eff
forts of some private citizen who has
devoted his life and money to its sue
cess.
"There is 10 more reason why "a
newspaper should give space to half a
column of particulars in relation to the
warning and control of an epidemic by
the board of health than there is that
the druggist should furnish free of
charge the chemicals to fumigatea sus-
pected house.
IAN entertainment is given in the
church or school, and publicity is nee
essary to insure its success. Also ten
yards of bunting must be had to trim
the stage. Why not walk into Van
Doren's dry goods store and say, Give
me ten yards of bunting to trim the
auditorium stage for a grand entertain
ment weare going to have there tonight
and wrap it up in a package in a way

will purchase tickets like any other

support of the church and charity; we
pay taxes to support the schools and

do it cheerfully and willingly, and be-
lieve that in this great land of ours,
the freest and greatest and best on
earth, no one gets more for any mon
ey he spends than he does for the taxes
he pays. But to do our duty to church,
charity aud public institutions we have
only the columns of our newspaper to

The coming spring and summer viii
have some rare treats for the lovers
Of music In. all its branches.
Tho records Of this coming season give
promise to be the most interesting a.
well as instructive Of any previous time
known to the phonograph industry. New
artists Of almost inconceivable genius
have been found to interpret not only the
opera and classics but all the different

ally changed from very extreme rag

ing craze frst started some three or
four years ago until now II Is Of q ma
ture that consists almost entirely Of the
dainty hints Of the popular comic op-
eras. -
Another form Of music to which the
American public has become attached
Is the ever-pleasing and quaint Ha-
waiian melodies. This particular style
OF music has SO effectually gripped the
people that the demand for. Hawaiian
records has far exceeded the supply, The
spring offerings along this line win be
plentiful and beautiful
During this coming season the public
will be presented with a seriesi Of those
dear old songs that mother sang to
me-" The Columbia Company will make
q particular drive on these particular
songs. They will be presented by such
great artists as Lucy Gates and Louis
Graveur SO that We really enjoy those
beautiful old ballads. 1t wifi really be
a series of records well worth having
For the lovers of operas such remark
able voices as Lagaro. NBarrientos, Lucy
Gate. Lemlash and Galli-Cind will add
new admirers by their wonderful records
while the admirers of the older stars
such as Caruso. Emma Destin, Bonci
and various others will become more
attached to the favorites by their new
recordings.
