OBJECTS OF CHARITY 
SPACE and copies of his paper go 
“~ to make up the newspaperman’s. 
These two are 
public, and no one has as yet given 
any sort of satisfactory reasons why 
he should ever be asked by anyone to 
donate them. 
One thing newspaper people will 
never be able to understand is why 
any person will walk into a news- 
paper office and make himself or her- 
self an object of charity and insist 
upon what they would disdain to ask 
for in any other shop or place of 
business in the town. The principie 
is the same in the newspaper office as 
in the dry goods store, the grocery, 
the drug store, and what a great 
many people need is to recognize it 
as the same and get off the news- 
paper list. 
Advertising space in the newspaper 
is for sale, not to give away. It has 
a certain value in itself that makes it 
worth money. Copies of the news- 
paper are for sale—not to give 
away. If they are worth having, 
they are worth the exceedingly small 
price asked for them. 
The public, or at least a large por- 
tion of it, has some very erroneous 
ideas about these matters, and it 1s 
but just to the newspaper folk that 
their ideas be.corrected in accordance 
with the same business principles that 
prevail in all other business establish- 
ments. 
In a vast majority of cases this 
generous charity on the part of the 
newspapers is blissfully taken for 
granted, and the paper’s liberality is 
abused. That which is purely a favor 
is accepted as a matter of course, and 
what should be requests are couched 
as demands. 
When the courtesy has been per- 
formed there is rarely appreciation 
and more often dissatisfaction—gen- 
erally silence. : 
The result in many other towns 
and cities is that a ban has been put 
upon all free publicity, no matter 
what its object—even upon church 
notices. In these cities such favors 
as the press bestows are properly ap- 
preciated and valued—The Fourth
