ALLIANCE HOSPITALITY
No local newspaper editor has any
right to complain of the treatment
received from his home town, when
compared with the Impositions that
many out of-rtown concerns try to
put upon inn;. There are a whole
lot of concerns m this free country
of ours who want advertising but are
unwilling to pay for It, whose chief
business seems to be to beat the
publishers of local newspapers. They
certainly succeed to a great extent
or else they could not afford to
spend, lies time and expense it
takes hi trying to work their grafts.
We have before us a specimen, one
of many we might mention. The
publisher of a piece of sheet music
sends the edlotr a copy, worth per
haps ten cents if it Is worth any
thing, and requests him in return
to publish a two dolllnr advertise
ment free of charge. There may h
some local newspnper publtahens who
are easy enough to do it, but please
to excuse us.
Another kind of free advertising
thai Is now being worked over time
Is that of securing notices for can
didates for office, particularly for
state offloes. Every Tom, Dick and
Harry who wants a nomination is
now sending out long slips to local
newspaper editors giving a strong
endorsement from Hon. Mr. So-and-So.
and requesting that it be pub
lished as a matter of news -but
that Isn't the kind of news the read
ers of The Herald are hankering af
ter. Such notices will be inserted
in our advertising columns, if de
sired at so much per, but when It
comes to giving free advertising to
every candidate for office who has
the gall to ask for it, that is anoth
er proposition.
By the above we do not moan that
when we make such mention free of
charge, as we haw been doing, it
is because we are interested and be
lieve the readers of The Herald will
lx and not because somebody who
wants office requests free aclvorti-ing.
