Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers
Our Joys and Troubles
BY S. MORRIS, EDITOR
WcolumnfrequentlyOLIVERexpense
E SO discuss our troubles and woes with readers in this
that, even at the of being embarrassed by circulating
praise of ourselves,- we are going to tell something that made us feel
pretty good the other day. A friend and reader wrote us that he had
asked the editor of one of the few really progressive, farm papers of the coun
try to give a frank opinion about the Leader. "The Leader is the livest farm
paper in the United States," said -this editor. "It would be a calamity if the
farmers failed to appreciate it and did not support the paper faithfully." It
makes us blush to repeat such nice things said about us.
Before we get to talking about more of our troubles, let it also 6e said that
we have been pleased because each mail is bringing letters praising the Leader,
for'the stand it has taken concerning the railroads. Along with these it is true
that we did receive one or two letters from readers who evidently hadn't read
our explanation of why we took the railroad executives' ads, and who said they
were disappointed that we should permit such "misleading" advertising in our
columns. But almost all who have written us on the subject have understood
our position, and have been glad to see the railroad advertising in the Leader,
when at the same time they could see the railroad arguments answered in the
editorial columns. But no publication deserves praise for not letting corpora
tion advertising affect its editorial opinion. It is a sad comment on American
journalism that when a paper like the Leader points out the false arguments of
corporation "publicity" appearing in its ad columns, it should be occasion for
readers to congratulate the editor. It ought to be a matter of course for edi
tors to be independent. There is no reason why the Leader should deny cor
porations free speech by closing its advertising columns to them when they are
willing to pay for the space at regular rates in order to put their arguments
before the public.- But the Leader deserves no praise for refusing to let this
advertising affect its opinion, and for editorially answering what we believe
are unsound arguments put out by the railroads in the ads. Every publication
should thus protect its readers.
There will be one more John Lord article and it will appear in the next issue.
The concluding chapter will deal with monopolies and trusts, other than the
financial monopoly, which was covered in Mr. Lord's first four articles. We
continue to get a host of letters about these ^rticles. The demand for back is
sues containing them has been great, exhausting our extra copies of some issues.
Many readers write us they are sending the issues containing the articles to
farmers who do not get the paper. Good work! Nothing we have printed in
recent months has produced such a response from OUB readers.
How do like the Nonpartisan league news department, which we have re
vived in the last few issues? During the summeitthis department was omitted
because it was an off-campaign year and the League was more or less marking
time in all states, getting ready for the fall and winter membership drive and
educational campaign. Now that the harvest is over and all of you have more
time to read, and the various state League organizations, are getting busy, we
believe this department will prove one of the most important features of the
paper.
Do not get impatient if you have asked the law department a question and
haven't seen the answer in print yet. Mr. Day has been overwhelmed with
questions and the Leader Is somewhat behind in printing answers. If you have
asked a question the answer will appear in due time.
Have yon attended to that little matter of business in your locality that
we have been asking you about in this column for several issues? We mean
seeing to it that there is a Leader circulation representative to look after our
circulation in your district. If you can Viot devote a few spare hours a week to
the work for us this winter, please try to interest someone else in your town
ship in it. There is much territory where we have not yet appointed an agent.
The circulation department pays a liberal commission to those who undertake
the work for us, but of course it is a work, for the cause end we do not feel
that money can recompense the hundreds of faithful friends who have already
undertaken the work in their districts. We print below the blank for making
inquiry about our circulation* plan. If you can not represent us, call the blank
to the attention of someone who can.

Farmers: Here's the Easiest
Way To Kill Rats
French Scientist Discovers Method
Doing Away With Traps and
Folaona.
Haven't you often wished for some
substance that would kill rats, mice
and gophers—and nothing else?
Such a substance is Viro.- Sure
death to all rodents—harmless to all
other living: creatures. Dogs, cats,
chickens, hogs and live stock can eat
Viro without harmful results. Thou
sands of farmers used it with won
derful results. If you are bothered
with rats, use Viro—they will dis
appear as if by magic.
Viro is based on anew scientific prin
ciple. Simple to- use. Mix cheese,
bread, meat or grain with it. Put
this inoculated bait where rats can
get it. That's alL As Viro is odor
less and colorless, no rat can dis
tinguish between ordinary food and
bait.
Aft^r eating bait the rat is at
tacked by a burning thirst that drives
It outdoors seeking fresh air and
water. Viro makes rats die outside.
No bother from decaying rats.' No
other rat.killer combines all the ad
vantages of Viro. It kills surely—
safely—cheaply.
Repeated tests plus the testimony
of hundreds of delighted users have
proved the merit of Viro beyond the
shadow of a doubt. But I don't ask
you to take my word for It. Send for
Viro—use it—if you are not satisfied,
let' me know and I will refund your
money. A Million Dollar Bank guar
antees my reliability: "Beware of imita
tors". Reefer has been in business for years
anH years.
Send me )1.00 and 1 will mail you
my regular $2 bottle of Virb. I give
you this speoial rate to introduce Viro
in your community. -Remember—you
run no risk— Tour money back if
you're not pleased with results. Ad
