WHV DO TUB II RATH KN RAGR
And Imagine a Vnln Thing About
I ho Newspaper?
Tho hoiithun raga agiiint't the nowRpa
por for almost nil conceivable; reasons
and no reasons boranso thry don't like
to bo publinhod into notoriety, ltocfttine
they don't wish to have others learn cer
tain things about themselves, beeanse
their friends luxve been nnpleasantly no
ticed, l)ecanso the iaper has pnblished
what they did not wiali it to publish,
and because it has not published that
which they asked it to print. Almost
always because of some point which af
fects their own self Interest or seMbdi
nens do the heathen rago; and hero and
there is one who ragea on "general prin
ciples" and utters his flat abolwhing the
whole institution, taking pains, next
day, to secure extra copies containing
bis anathema for himself and Ids friends.
It is safe to state that there is not a sin
gle issue of a newspaper In print which
does not contain somothing somewhere
at which some heathen rage in spirit.
But putting aside all these causes for
displeasure on the part at tho heathen,
let me state one particular circumstance,
and this is really the chief reason why
the heathen rage so much and so unrea
sonably at tho daily press. The cirenm
stance is this: Tho fault finder, tho car
per, tho- would be censor of tho prof,
very rarely asks himself these questions:
"Is this right? "Is it Jnst?', "Is it a fair
statement?" He never seeing to recol
lect that in reputable journalism the
first law, the guiding rule of an honora
blo editor is the simple ono of sound
sense and exact justice; and it is because
they do not consider this point that the
heathen rago so much more than is nec
essary, and often make asses of them
selves when they might poo as wise
counselors. In fine, then, the heathen
rage lieonuse , they cannot see that in
reputablo jonnmlism justice and com
mon sense rnlo tho editor; not malice,
spite and prejudice
Iteuiemlier this: Wrongdoers nro more
fearful of the press tluin of law, justice
so called, or punishment. You can hire
a lawyer; buy a jury; judges never toll
titles out of court; doctors keep their own
counsel, and scandal by word of month
travels but a brief space; but the press
cannot bo frightened, bought, or forced
into silence. Big sinners and they are
the liardest to catch fear tho exposures
of tho press more than they dread the
pangs of the law or the pricks of con
science. Don't growl if your paper today
doesn't suit you. Yon are getting for a
couple of cents that which cost much
more than yon paid for it, and the ad
vertiser, whom you scorn, is paying for
your reading matter. This is a fact.
F. W. Pangborn in National Journalist.
Plumb Believe tn Local Newspapers.
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, subscribes
for every paper pnblished in thut state.
He also takes all the leading New York
papers, several from Chicago, one from
Philadelphia and other large cities. In
speaking of newspapers the senator says:
I believe in the local newspapers.
They are the leaders, the makers of pub
lic sentiment. They are nearer to the
people than any other papers. Their
editors mingle with the people, and con
sciously or unconsciously reflect the
views of their readers.
By my private letters from all parts of
the state, and by reading tho local pa
pers, I can tell just what the people of
Kansas are thinking and talking about
I can feel the pulse of the peoplo and
take their temperature. I am amazed,
too, at the excellence of our county
papers. Tho majority of them are care
fully and ably edited. They not only
print the news of their neighborhood,
but havo opinions which I find it worth
my while to read and reflect upon. I
get no better return for any of the
money which I spend than for that
which I pay out for the local newspa
pers of my state.
Everybody Is Interested iu It.
No paper can be published without
home patronage, and every man is inter
ested in keeping up a home puper. If a
railroad or factory is wanted, the news
paper is expected to work for it. If a
public meeting is wanted for any pur
pose, the newspaper is called upon for a
free notice. If any of the societies have
a supper or reception of any kind, the
newspaper is expected to give tho neces
sary notice. The newspaper must puff
the schools and everything else to ad
vance the interests of the business men
of the place, and then give them a hand
some notice when they pass away. And
yet some of them do nothing to keep np
a home paper. Gladstone (Mich.) Ex
press. Pay the Printer Promptly.
Persons who patronize papers should
pay promptly, for the pecuuiary pros
pects of the press have a peculiar power
in pushing forward public prosperity.
If the printer is paid promptly, and his
pocketbook kept plethoric by prompt pay
ing patrons, ho puts his pen to his paper
in peace.his paragrnphsare more pointed;
be paints his pictures of passing events in
more pleasing colors, and the perusal of
his paper is a pleasure to the people.
Please paste this piece of proverbial
philosophy in some place where all per
sons can perceive it Exchange.
Does Your Puper Come Regularly?
Should any of our subscribers fail to
get their paper regularly they will please
notify us by postal card, and as far as
lies in our power we will cheerfully sup
ply all missing numbers. Occasionally
papers get lost in the mails, and without
investigating the matter the subscriber
jumps to the conclusion that his paper
was withheld by the publisher. Make
your complaints direct to us and we will
see that you get the paper regularly. .
Tbo Groat Safeguard.
There is no safeguard like a newspa
per. Nothing can do more to keep np
town and help business. The town
that supports a good local paper is the
town that is successful and growing, and
the newspaper that keeps np with and
tittle in advance of the town's growth is
the one that will live long and prosper.

My Family Doctor.
For the last two years has been Sul
phur Bitters, and until I began using
them in my family, we had more or
less sickness, and our doctor's bill has
been very large. Since we began
their use, we have had no doctor to
pay, and three dollars invested in Sul
phur Bitters has kept health in our
family. F Knott, Postmaster, Wa

I Was a Tool
Yes they said I was a fool not to
try Sulphur Bitters for Rheumatism,
from which I had suffered over two
years ; but I had tried so many doctors
and medicines without getting relief
that I was discouraged. I am now on
my fourth bottle and almost cured.
I was a fool that I did not try that
wonderful remedy before. C, G.

however desperate that can make that

"No ; he's as bald as an ostrich's

No Matter How Hard
any druggist tries to sell you his own
cough medicine, remember he does it
because he makes more money on it.
Insist on having Kemp's Balsam for
the throat or lungs, for there is no
cough remedy so pure and none so
quick to break up a cold. For in
fluenza, soreness of the throat and
tickling irritation with constant cough,
Kemp's Balsam is an immediate cure.
