WHAT OUR READERS THINK OF US.
_The Daily Express_ having invited its readers to intimate their
opinion of that journal, _Mr. Punch_ decided also to give the
grumblers a chance of saying what they think of his production, and
he now publishes a typical selection of the letters which have reached
him:--
Sir,--I gave up your journal many years ago on account of its
partisanship, and never read it now. Only last week I came
across a paragraph in my copy which made me throw the paper
into the waste-paper basket.
Yours faithfully,
VERITAS.
Sir,--Why is it you always favour the Tories?
Yours faithfully,
WELSH MEMBER.
Sir,--If you continue to publish cartoons with a pronounced
Radical bias I am afraid you will lose at least one.
OLD SUBSCRIBER.
Sir,--I object to the advertisements. I think it would be a
good move if you were to drop these, increase the number of
pages, and reduce the price to a halfpenny. In taking this
course you would have the support of several influential
members of my parish, in addition to myself.
Yours faithfully,
A COUNTRY PARSON.
Sir,--What your paper needs is light relief.
