The Home Paper
The average weekly editor usual
ly has his all invested in his news
paper, properly says the Atlantic
Coast Lists. That investment gen
erally represents from one to ten
thousand dollars. But it is worth
more to the town than five times the
amount invested in any other local
enterprise. As a rule, the newspaper
represents to the outside world the
town itself. Poor paper, poor town is
the usual verdict. It is, therefore to
the interest of every town to support
a good newspaper. Not local pride
alone but for practical business rea
sons. A newspaper is constantly
doing ten times as much for its town
as it could ever hope to get pay for—
more than it could charge for it if it
would. The more prosperous a papar
is tbe more it is able to do.
Show us a good weekly paper, full
of live local adds, with a general cir
culation throughout the country, and
we will show you and up-to-date pros
perous, progressive community. And
we will show you a paper that ia
worth five times as much to the com
munity every year as the editor man
ages to make for himself.
Show us a community that persist
ently proceeds on the idea that the
editor of the home paper can live on
"pie" that accumulates in the office;
. whose official bodies think it a waste
of public money to throw him a bit of
public printing at living prices; whose
citizens have come to regard it as
their inalieuable rights to work him
for long-winded obituary notices and
'immemoriums" with three inches ol
hymn at the end, to say nothing of a
occasional notice of a lost cow or
some cotton seed for sale, and we will
show you a community that is living
from hand to mouth and is always on
the ragged edge of adversity.
People ought to stop to think about
these things. It is animportant mat
ter. It is their own good involved—
the welfare and progress of tbeir com
munity. It may be that the daily
papers, with their larger ntws service
and quicker facilities may have over
shadowed the weeklies; but the week
lies fill a place that the dailies can
never 811. If they keep the people of
a community in touch with each
other by giving them the news of the
town and country; for that alone they/
are of a value and are worth far more!
thar the dollar and a half a year that
is usually charged for them. |
If they merely chronicle the progress
of the community and keep the local
pride and progressive spirit aroused
they are worth (till more—far more
than the town ever spends on them.
Bear this in mind.
No merchant, no grand jury, no
town counoil that ipends every year
all they can afford with the home
paper—whether that expenditure is
actually necessary or not—makes a
wiser more profitable investment.
They are not ' giving" the home paper
something. On the contrary, it earns
•very cents it gets and more—pro
vided it is a paper worth picking up
in the road. And if it isn't that
kind of a paper, it is usually the fault
of the town in which it ia published.
Opposition Platform
Resolved:
That the country has gone to the
Drvii, and therefore belongs to us.
We demand more money and fewer
banks.
We want |50 apiece. We want free
silver.
Every man who has more money
than his neighbor, must oe taxed un
til he has less than his neighbor.
All the money in the country must
be kept in our hands.
We want the telephones, and the
post offices.
We want postal savings banks, and to
run 'em.
We want the telegraph lines, rail
roads and elevators.
We want the land. Wtf want the
earth.
We want all we now lack, except
common sense.
Everyone who does not agree with
us, is a villian and a traitor, and the
hired minion of corporate monopoly.
Don't be Hasty
A man out in Oregon a few days
ago met with a peculiar mishap,
through which he was compelled to
go to bed with hia boots on. He had
a new pair which weut on all right,
but when he came to take them off
be found that one wouldn't budge.
The shoemaker had left a nail inside
which stuck into his foot and the
harder he pulled the futher the nail
penetrated hia sole. After a time,
finding that he would have to tear hia
foot nearly to pieces if he persisted in
yanking at the shoe, he went to bed
with it on and the next morning
went to the shoemaker and had it cut
cut off.
Well, now I What's the reason peo
ple don't live in a section where suoh
catastrophes don't happen. Adams
county, Wash ,isit I When we s et a
man going to bed here with his boots
on he's either-too busy to take them
off or has imbibed of distilled Ken
tucky joy, but you never see hint con
juring up lame excuses like the Ore
gon webfooter.
A puree of 9500 ia offered (Ilia year
by the management of the Spokane
Interstate Fair Association for a ladies
relay race. Entries to thi* interesting
event are open to all. It is the intent
of the fair management to have dif
ferent portions of the lulaud Empire
represented and to this end, entries
from many Eastern Washington coun
ties are desired.
The relay race may be a new idea
to some and not familiar to the gen
eral public. Tue plan is to have this
race last over a period of five days,
four miles being oovered each day by
the contestants, who oliange horses at
the end of each mile, the winner being
the rider making the best time for the
twenty miles. Each contestant ia ex
pected to furnish her own horses. Full
particulars governing entries may be
had from Manager Qosgrove.
It now looks doubtful about Judge
Parker being nominated at St. Louis
The reason is simple. Many of the
delegates believe that he could not
carry the States of close vote which
are essential to the election of a Demo
cratic President. The delegates will be
generally men of good poiltical judg
ment and will conscientiously and de
liberately seek to find a man who can
carry the doubtful States. Those delega
tes will be numerous enough to preveut
the nomination of any other than the
candidate they shall select. Instructed
delegates will deem the letter of their
orders complied with after a first bal
lot and will then join the majority
that was free to deliberate and will
thus make unanimous the choice of
the uninstructed delegates.
One count in the Spokesman-Re
view'* indictment of the late republi
can convention is that it wag manipu
lated by J. D. ' Farrell, a democrat.
The virtuous Review cannot stand
democratic machinations, aud hence
will support a ticket named by a con
vention which will be personally con
ducted by George Turner and Hinry
J. Snively.—Yakima Republic.
The whiskey of Kentucky has earn
ed a terrible roast. Sam Jones says
that if a rabbit were to take two
drinks it would simply turn around
and spit in the dog's lace. In his gilded
and gushing youth, before the sancti
fication process began, Jones was con
sired a splendid judge of whiskey. It
is said that he drauk it in five differ
ent languages and never so far forgot
himself as to use water as a chaser.
After July 1, no private mailing
cards will be accepted by the post

Mun ia the most perfect machine
that has been devised and yet in the
light of progress of the present cen
tury there are a number of mechani
cal attachments that might he at
tached to him with profit. For in
stance, a government to regulate his
speed while eating and automatic
feeder to stop him when lie's had
enough. A meter might answer the
the purpose of a feeder but lie might
not heed a meter. It must be that,
the cow waa designed later than man
for she is provide with but few tte'h
and more stomaohs, it having been
learned that to provided teeth fur the
purpose of chewing fond was no as
aurance, by any means, that the food
would be chewed. Of course, man is
provided with a brain the nae of which
would eliminate the attaching of suoh
devices as governors, feeders or meteis
but the practioe of using tin brain is
gradually growing out of fashion.
There is a man who will dynamite
fish, another who will steal a widow's
chickens, another who will tiamp on
a newly made cement walk and still
another who will buy liquor for a con
firmed inebriate, and not one of the
lot can be reached by the law a« he
deserves. — Ruckford Register.
