A solicitor of newspaper subscrip tions made this remark out of personal experience the other day: "Seme "of the keuiest critics the newspapers have to meet are peopie n rely buy a borne newspaper, at. least never patronize it regularly. They borrow it of their friends, or steal glances at it in hotels, barber shops or ref.tding rooms. if there were no newspapes here they would be the very first to deplare the lack of public spirit." The newspaper makes possible all kinds of private and public enter prise. If you want to get anything done, whether it be your children educated, your products sold, or your gospel preached, you have to tell peo ple about it In some public way. No kind of organization Is possible with out public discussion. You can sell goods for more and buy them for less, through the ex chrtige of information which the. news paper makes possible. A newspaper can perform these great services efficiently only when loyally supported by the public. The man who refuses to contribute his small share through a newspaper sub scription is like one who htja enjoyed a feast, but who dodges the contri bution box. Albany Herald.
