One or two persons have suggested
that this.paper would get along better
II It had a motto. They may he right
"Free and Unshackled," "Our Aim
he Peoples Welfare and Truth is
Mighty and Occasionally Prevails"
are all good, secondhand notices,
somewhat worn along the edges but
still in pretty fair condition. We have
also thought of several others, includ-
ing "Keep of the Grass" "Sic Semper
Tyrannis" and "Frec Thought Free
Speech and Free Lunch" bus havo so
far refrained from running up any Of
them. We have been influenced in the
matter somewhat by the remembrance
of one III. Junius Browne.
Mr.. Browne was pale, scholarly
bubble who came out to the frislSy and
vivacious West to engage in the hon
orable profession of Journalism. He
settled down at a place called Hicks
Hollow and brought out tho Weekly
Palladium, Right under the head he
put this motto in largo, square
shouldered type; Here Shall the
Press the Peoples Right Maintain;
UnaWed oy influence ana OnbIlbed by
Gain" On another page he an
