No sensible man should get angry because a newspaper man duns him, for money. A dun is not an impeachment of a subscriber’s integrity, but is simply an outcropping of the publisher’s necessities. ! For instance, 1,000 men owe the publisher from $1 to $4 each. He has to dun them all to get money enough to pay his expenses. Instead of getting angry and stopping the paper because the publisher aSks him for what is honestly due, the subscriber should thank the editor for waiting on him so patiently, and pay up like a man. —Valparaiso Yidette.
