LETTER FROM BRADY TOWNSHIP.


LurnrnsBunO, January 10, 1879.
Ma. Enron 10 your paper of the 2Otb Of De
ccmber you had an article headed Radicals hiding
Gratis, because from the amount Of school money
collected every year, We ought to have school
or more money on hand At the end Of the year. ]
am satisfied that the school directors are not
watching the money matters very closely, but
think the township auditors are worse yet. The
time of the township settlement is nearly here
and intend TO watch the settlement little. The
auditors are too easy with the supervisors and the
school directors Our school and road taxes in
this township amount to four OF ivc thousand dol
lars every year [the fourth of the annual expense
Of the whole county.-ED. REr.l and we ought to
have more schools and better roads, but instead
Of this, believe there are some feathering their
nests. am satisfied that there is from ton to If
teen hundred dollars more school money on hand
than Is needed, and half that much road tax, and
II would be shown up to the tax payers If the
township auditors would only do their duty at the
coming settlement. am satisfied, from the feel
ing that exists among the tax payers now, that if
the auditors do not show up the school and road
accounts In their true light, that the tax payers
will take the matter in hand themselves. viii
see how the settlement comes of in few weeks,
and will let you know more about the matter as
am determined the auditors and the school di-
rectors must make their settlements according to
law and quit spending so much of our money for
nothing. Yours, TAXPAYER,
I'VE hope Taxpayer" will not back out Of his
undertaking, There is good opening in every
borough and township in the county for few men
in each to look after just what our correspondent
complains of. "Rings," though small, tlike at
Washington and Harrisburg, exist in nearly cv-
cry township, who handle the funds indicated, and
not unfrequently to their own use instead Of the
public. There is too much looseness, aud the
sooner such matters are probed the better for NOR
ais and finances, Correspondents can communi-
cate to us freely in reference to local matters of
this kind We win reveal the names of none, and
IL found out they must credit themselves, as we
never give the names Of any of our correspond
ents but are often mortified upon learning that
they have told on themselves,1

Tue "GET Up" OF A NEWSPAPER
1t is an old saying that "somc people never learn
anything" Although We have repeatedly told
our readers within the last twelve years what lit
tie we know, some Of them give us considerable
trouble, because they do not understand the inter.
nal arrangement Of a Newspaper establishment.
The great majority Of newspapers are organized
upon the trinity plan, with three separate distinct
departments, neither Of which conflicts with the
other, provided readers, correspondents and em,
ployccs understand lhe "gct up" of the paper
The fret in order is the Proprietor, who owns the
presses, type and other material Of the Office. The
second is the editor, who writes the editorials,
lects the reading matter and gives tone to the pa
per. The third is the publisher, who does the la
Dol ssttirg type job work, settling accounts, and
is srcsponsblo for the wages Of the employees and
the cost Of the material consumed IN putting out
the paper.
In this the reader must plainly sec three distinct
departments. II is true that In some establish
rnenis the proprietor, editor and publisher is tho
same party, while others, like our own, proprietor
and cditer is one department, and the publishers
smother.
The practical point in our case consists in this
letter addressed to the editor, containing an adj
-yerlisemont order for job work, is mi.ii
rection. It should DO addressed to the pubis1ec'.
Because If addressed TO the editor the publisher
will not open the letter in the absence of the edi-
tor, and thus the customer will fail to get his job
work done or his advertisement inserted in the
paper. Again, lcttor addressed to the publish
sr', containing locals, news, or dilatious upon po
litical or personal matters, is q misdir,ciion The
publishers time should not bo consumed in that
way, because il Is no part Of his business to write
long letters. lie is usually engaged in something
more substantial, II our friends will accept this
little bit of business etiquette, and live up to it,
they will save US some trouble and have their bu-
'iness aud politics moro promptly attended to in
the future.
Therefore, let all letters on business be address
ed to the Pubiishers, aud everything relating to
news, politics, information, he sent to the editor
letter enclosing caution and addressed 70 the
editor instead Of the puJiisisr, is rs much out Of
place as for a farmer to go to grst mill to get
his horse shod, or TO a blacksmith shop 70 get his
grain ground. The man who would 70 10 the
post office to send of telegram, or to the tele-
graph Office to have a letter mailed would Le
laughed at, but he Is just as much In order rs tho
man who sends M advertisement to the ,di,or
Of newspaper or a news item to the ePnLii.Lsr
We do not wish to entail any additional labor
on our patrons, but We do want tnem 10 be right
in a bdsires way, m well rs In politics or their
social habits. 1t is Jutt as ,asy to 10 right rpon
this point" to b. vr.ns

CONVICTED. Several of our land
lords from the upper end of the county are now
boarding with Sheriff Pic for having violated the
liquor law. 1t seems SO remarkably strange that
men should jeopardiae their liberty and eompro-
mise their friends by dcfanty violating nm act Of
assembly with "prison" engraved on every line.
We are aware that two-thirds Of the prosecutions
for violations Of the liquor law are instituted
through malice aud wholly without merit yet the
officers Of the aw are compelled to enforce the
statute, all Of which the offender very well knows.
The proprietor of q country hotel, under the pres
ent law, leads prccarious life at best, and why
they persist in the business is beyond our compre-
hension. Ten cents worth Of WHISKY given to the
wrong man, with spy in sight, sends good cit
izen to prison This is certainly too much for
dime.
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1872-01-17

Nor COMMON SENsE.-At last Sep.
tember term of our court, through some legal jug
glery, the county was compelled to pay the costs
in some liquor cases, We called public attention
to the matter at the time But instead Of an i'm
provement it seems to be growing worse, because
several similar happened at the present term.
We arc no lawyer, but common sense teaches us
that il party is indicted for violating liquor laws,
that in every case either the defendant or the
prosecutor should be compelled to pay the costs,
and in no instance should they be put upon he
county. If the case is mcritorous one, the de-
fcndant should incur the cost, and If otherwise,
the prosecutor, and why jurors hesitate about mat
tcrs of this kind is inoomprehensible to us. If IL
becomes generally understood that the prosecutor
runs no risk in bringing suit, and geis paid as
witness beside. our eeurt will have plenty of such
leases to dispose Of The fact that a woman or
child is the prosecutor is no Justification. There
are costs eneugh saddIel upon the county without
dntrcGucing the whisky pen &c tore
Again, why is 1t necessary for the Common
wealth to subpoena from dozen to twenty wit
nesses in ordinary cases, and about one-third
swcar to the same points, similar number know
nothing about the case and the balance heard
somebody else say something, unless it is to pay
fnen and women for coming to court to attend TO
their own business? Unless some "new depart
ure" is taken upon these points, the taxpayers
will not We blessed with reduction Of taxes. To
our mind the Commonwealth made several blum
ders, and Il looks as though all were determined
to fleece the county aud then growl about high
taxes.
