RIGHT TO THE POINT. Last week an editorial appeared in this colum npon the experience of this paper with public officials. It attracted much comment, the character and extent of which was more than gratifying—was almost a unanimous endorsement by our readers of our views on the distribution As a strange coinci- Neb. of public printing. dence, W. M. Maupin, President of raska Press Association, and one of the ablest newspaper men in the West, on February 15th, delivered an address be- fore that association which has been pub- lished far and wide, and deals with the same question, the politician and office holder. that are forcible, also appropriate in this We make the following extracts connection : Of course I would pot say these things publicly, but here and just between our- selves, where no reporters are admitt. ed, it may profit us to have a few little heart to heart talks. What about politics? Iam something of a politician and perhaps something of a partisan. [I believe in working for the success of party prin les and sug ing the pa i of good me enough to ge I nether did not inate In they ar pery i C1 § port wi A garment t KUOW new ernor salar state office The chief end of a God and glorify him end of the edilor is lo elect polit office and opologise Jor i aflerwa When the political pie is passed around, 83 the office of the editor of the partly gans lo sil in the gallery and sing 3 of praise for the victory won whine politi cians keep time lo the lune wnth their teeth and salivary glands. He 1s given the blessed privilege of doing the shout. * ing while the politicians do the eating, You can safely wager your last dollar that if anybody gets left in the pie distri. bution 1t is the editor of the party organ, You say that you are not supporting the party's prisciples and whooping it up for the ticket in the hope of securing earthly reward? Pardon me, good friends and brethren, but that's all nonsense. What is wrong about expecting or demanding reward for your labors? Most office seekers publicly declare that they want office in order to benefit the public ; bat, in fact, they want it because there's money in it. The proof of this statement lies in the fact that no politician hustles for an office that does not carry with it a salary ora fat lot of fees. When you show me an officeholder who covers his salary back iuto the public treasury be cause he is only serving in order to be of benefit to the public, | will believe that the editor of the party organ should not demand pay for his service I am decidedly of the opinion that the time has come when we should quit talk ing about our disinterestedness, our self sacrifices, our noble profession and all that sost of thing, and do business on business principles. It is all well enough to talk about our high calling but fine words never buttered as many parsnips as a sheriff's sale notice at full legal rates or a doubly earned check from the county central commitiee, The news. aper man earns more than he gets, but one get more of what be earns. I have in mind the ideal newspaper county newspaper, | mean. It will de. mand remuneration in full for every ser- man is foreve | just as he has to psy regular rates to the { It will not call a spade an agricultural | done practically nothing | and cure of ¢ dup. | Pharmacy. Old maids evidently believe that where | vice save that of friendship and pay cash for every business accommodation. The theater or church that uses its advertis- ing columns will pay spot cash, and the veomplimentary ticket’ will be abolish. ed. The man who drops in with a ‘card of thanks'' will pay space rates for it, undertaker, the sexton and the phy sician, The politician who has spent years in scheming to secure a nomination to office will pay for that newspaper's support in proportion as he pays for the support of the ward heeler and the precinct boss implement nor gloss over the misdeeds of the man with the dollar in order to have more space in which to dilate upon the general cassedness of the man who is | only one day's wage removed from pau- | perdom, It will not strain its eyesight trying to overlook the faults of its own party in order to get a view of the shot comings of the opposition It will be as quick to see and denounce corruption in its own party as itis to see and denounce corruption in the ranks of the opposition | party. It will be clean morally, clean typographically and clean politically It will cater to men and women of moral character and not tothe passions and’ prejudices of the pubic In conclusion let me plead with you for a moie thorough cultivation of busi. | ness methods, for closer business rela- tions. Let us banish the stale and un- profitable “ye poor editor joke,” and | stand upon our claims as business wen. | Let ns acquit ourselves like men, | - CONTEST DROPPED. fin the last fifty years, | { first publie schoolhou According to an article in the Clear- field Republican, of last week, the con- | gressional contest instituted in this dis- Mr republican candidate, to unseat J.
