Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 19, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 June 1912 — DON'T BLAME THE PUBLISHER [ARTICLE]

DON'T BLAME THE PUBLISHER

The Democrat has tried to impress on'its subscribers that the notice regarding the payment of subscriptions was no joke nor a scheme of the publisher’s to those in arrears to pay up at yet some subscribers who were in arrears seem to so regard it and do not feel good about Our having had to stop sending them the paper. V\ e have had to drop several subscribers from our list who have taken The Democrat for years and are among its wealthiest readers. WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE NO OTHER ALTERNATI\ E. The postoffice department has recently required sworn statements from the newspaper publishers regarding the matter and THE ORDER MUST BE COMPLIED WITH. —— J There is no joke about it whatever. It is either for us to comply or get in a mix-up with Uncle Sam. a fact which every publisher in the country—for they all received these blanks to be filled out and sworn to—knows and will tell you. Don't blame the publisher for stopping your Paper—he can do nothing else if you are in arrears more/than the limit allowed by the postal authorities. The fact that he knows you are ‘'good” and that it is only neglect on your part ■doesn't cut any figure whatever in this case.
