BeSy" We clip The following from las
/ weeks Oskaloosa Ueraid, and we com
mend it to the attention Of the goot
people of Cedar Falls rs ,worthy of thcii
serious bordering:
READ TIlIS.--If there is Rail Road
to be built, a Soldiers Monument to be
raised, a new College to be founded OF
any public enterprise to be placed be-
fore the public, and the people urged to
come UP to a performance of duty, the
local paper is always expected to go at
it, and work away, without "the hope
of fec or reward, - until the thing is ac-
com plished. Well, this is all right,
and the local press delights in doing
such work. The reward of an approx
ing conscience is a glorious good thing,
and something we hope and pray we
shall have when we come to face the
| king of Terrors." More than this
1 the local paper is expected to help,
| aid. and assist" every newly establish
ed finn, and measure out compliments
without stint, until the firm be-
comes independent in trade, rich in
profits, and able to ''loe its own row.
Without the assistance Of the paper.
! This is all right too; the local press
loves to extol merit, and is ever ready
to flame OUT upon the slightest prov
ocation. ,.... .,...
IT there is Il reform in public morals
to be inaugurated, any abuse to he cor
rectcd, or great public nuisance to be
abatcd, the local paper must come, up
to the work with a v hole heart and un-
trammclud hands: toah which the To-
cal press never ohjrc;s. And finally,
friend, if you want an office, you seize
upon the first opportunity OF obtaining
the favorable notice of your local pa
per; you expect ii as fully as If 1t was
one OF those ilIalicilablc rights men tom
cd in the Declaration of lHdepend-
.enee. Well, there can be no objection
to this either, for the people expect The
local paijcr to speak out in meeting"
and name THE n,ci OF good rcpute, who
are worthy Of confrIcnce. d ri ayusI
To come 70 the point,r-7tbo YOU think
the local paper should dthil 'this with
OCT a proper, reward? ,- We think not.
Reader, We look upon you as a rcasona-
Die individual, and believe you willsee
things as they are, when the facts are,
properly arraycd for your, ,considefa-

Well, in the first place, your local pa
per cannot live upon lis subscription
list alone. We doubt if there is a coun-.
~ paper published in Iowa whose CASH
Subscription list would pay for tire
blank PAPER upon which tits printed.
The advqltising list must, be good if it
Wiilfpay all the other expenses, such as
taxes, rent, fuel, lielr, ink, type-set.
ting, press work, and wear and.tear of
material. You naturally inquire, chow
the local paper is to live if this be tEus??"
We answer, by JOB WORK! If the To-
cal press can have all the legitimate
iob work of the community which it is
called upon to serve so faithfully, it can
live. Without 1.-THE paper must Ian
