Dorm III Tue past ie" ~
Of reproach. We wonder just what
is meant by the expression.
campbells Scientific Farmer is out
with an ad askig farmers support,
because some big business represen-
tatiyes do not buy their space.
The official organ OF the Non-parti-
sa League, the Leader, carries adver-
tising for the Standard Oil.
The big packers have spent great
many thousands OF dollars in propa-
ganda in the shape of advertising.
We are not surprised that this vast
advertising campaign may arouse
suspicion that the money Is being
spent for the purpose OF stopping
adverse criticism from the papers,
rather than for the purpose OF hav-
ing the public read the advertise
ments.
1t is pretty generally known that
every newspaper depends on Its ad-
yertising patronage to secure profit,
II II has one. II there is newspaper
or magazine published that would
pay the cost OF publication from the
subscription price alone, We do not
know where II is.
As a natural result one would not
expect newspaper man to be look
ing for chance to quarrel with the
man who was supplying the business
that made him a profit.
While all this Is true, We do not
believe that many newspaper men
allow their advertiser TO control their
opinions or censor the news they pub
lish.
II is seldom that a business man
withdraws his advertising patronage
because OF the editorial policy OF .
paper. II IA seldom that they even
intimate the policy they wish follow
ed. Only once or twice In an eXper
fence OF twenty-five fears have We
ever been threatened with loss oi
advertising contracts because OF the
opinions we expressed in editorials
Probably In those cases the men
felt justified They could doubtless
satisfy most people that they did
entirely right
To every time advertisers have tri-
ed to punish US for our free EXPIRES
sion OF opinions. we have had hun
dred readers withdraw their sub
seription for similar reason.
OF course the loss Of a single sub
aeription Is small matter. while
many times the loss of one good ad
vertiser means the difference between
failure and success to many small pa
pers. But is not the principle the
same?
A paper must have readers and II
must have advertisers TO make 1t a
paying proposition. The average
reader and the average advertiser
does not expect that the editor is
going to agree with him in all things
He simply asks that the newspaper
make an honest effort to publish
facts. Fair editorial comment Ia sell
dom found fault with. by either of
the supporting elements.
Is IL more unfair. for an advertiser
to. withdraw support in attempt to
intimidate an editor than 1t is for
reader?
We frankly say We think II Is: but
We confess that We find IL difficult to
state the reason.
o course, a boycott by advertisers
Is more serious II every business
man in Raymer should say to us,
We will not advertise any more with
The Enterprise. I'VE would have to
arrange TO close our efforts in this
field, But the same would be true
II every reader should say the same
thing.
