The same is true of a favor done an individual by a newspaper. To the average citizen the newspaper is as impersonal as a railroad corporation and the attitude of the public is often to use it but to beat it if you can. Every euitor has had good citizens urce him to, at tick this or that evil, and probably within a week after the battle was fought and won, the same man for some purely personal or business reason would stop his paper and thia advertisement."
