furnishes us a good occasion to say
something about newspaper enter
prise and energetic newspaper men.
While there are too many Of the
profession who content themselves by
plodding along, filling their columns
with advertisements and such matter
as they have conveniently at hand,
there are others who have the ambi
ton to bring their journals to the front
rank through hard work, and by nd
vancing first and foremost the mate
rial interests Of the community which
is their field Of operations.
1t matters not what the political
opinions Of an editor may be, when
ever he works faithfully for those
around him, he deserves their sup
port and their absolution for the short.
comings which are inherent to man.
We have often disagreed with Gen.
Cosgroye, who has, withal, shown
that his personal friendship for us,
had never been shaken "by the tilt
ing.n We've admired oil along his
deyilish pluck and -aheaditiveness,
which he has directed in very great
measure towards awakening the dor
mant public spirit Of the people Of
Natchitoches, which his Vindicatol
has brought into q prominence rival
ing that of my other parish in the
State. He has done gigantic work
for Natchitoches--a work that will
soon bear substantial fruits. There
fore do we pronounce the Vindicator
q journal that ought to live and pros
per, because it has been nsefnl and
has repaid its patrons for whatever
aid they have extended it. II is not
our desire to give our friend Cosgrove
a "puff.." We wish only to do him
justice by saying that he has given
Natchitoches paper which reflects
credit upon her, as 1t does to its editor
who is found among the foremost in
every movement that is calculated to
bring hcr cont Of tho wilderness
We would like to see every Jour-
halist in Louisiana working as hard
for his "base of operations as the edi-
tor Of the Vindicator unquestionably
does.
