By o
Pay Ye the Printer ,
Some of our townspeople who ex
pected the editors to come to town
with a basket of eggs on their arms ,
a firkin of butter and A pocket full
of rocks to blow in were disappoint
ed. The direct results are expected
too often by some grasping
money changers of Valentine.
These same people are foremost in
their requests for the home news
papers to boom the town to get
someone here to spend money with
them. They will contribute to any
thing but a newspaper to get a
crowd here and refuse to dig up to
them because they expect newspa
pers to do this work for nothing
because its their business to boom
the town for crowds to spend mon
ey with such grasping creatures as
complain at any return favor to
the newspapers. If you come or go j
you want the newspaper to notice' !
it whether yon ever pay anything ;
or not. If you \vtiut a Fourth of'
July c.elebration von want the
uewHpapc-r to boom [ it and tben
contribute as much c < tah as any. :
'
businessman beside. If you want
races or a carnival you expect the
newspaper to bring the crowd for
you to make money from but how
many dimes do you pay the news
papers for their work ?
If any crowd of people comes to
town for whatever purpose the
money changers who are here for
the almighty dollar and a selfish
interest only are ever ready with
their grappling hooks to take them
in but they never think of owing
the newspapers anything for what
they have done to bring the people
to town or to tell about our many
advantages. All this is expected
free because that's .1 nawspp-per's
business. Do you luke the paper
brother ? Do you pay anything
for this newspaper service ? Do
.you want something for nothing or
are you willing to divide fair with
jthe newspaper man and give a
little cash for what you get instead !
of trying to exploit him as a part
of your < rmie ; ? There are some
few people in Valonti.io who con
tribute ) liuKi or nothing to newf-
papers yet they " expect to exploit
i
the crowds brought to town that
others have paid for and harvest
where they have not sown. They
were not responsible for the
crowds being here but they seek
treasure or tribute from them as
a pirate prays upon ships at their
mercy , the difference being not in
the principle but in the manner
of demand and the transaction ,
and being in no way responsible
feel no interest in or sympathy
for tbe people if they fare not
well. Is your conscience clear ?
