 One thing newspaper people will never be able to understand is why any person will walk into a newspa- per office and make himself or herself an object of charity and in sjst upon what they would disdain to ask for in any other shop or place of business in the town. The prin- ciple is the same in the newspaper office as in the dry goods store, and what a great many people need is to recognize it as the same and get off the newspaper list.
 Advertising space in the uewspa- per. ss for sale. not to give away. It. has a certain value in itself that makes it worth money. Copies of the newspaper are worth the eN- ceeding small price asked for them.
 The public. or at least a large portion of it, has some very errone- ous ideas about these matters, and ic is but just to the newspaper folk that their ideas be corrected in ac- cordance with the same business princiepls that pervail in all oth- er business establishments.
 In a vast majority of cases this generous charity on the part of the newspapers is blissfully taken for granted, and the papers liberality Is abused. That which is purely 2 favor accepted as a matter of course, and what should be requests are couched as demands.
 WheS the courtesy has been per formed there is rarely appreciation, and more often dissatisfaction - generally silence.
 The result in many towns and cities is that a ban has been put upon all free publicity, no mat ter what it's object-eYen upon church notices. In these cities such tayors as the press bestows are pro perly appreciated and valued.
