Those are pleasant words which Mr..
Geo. f. Waite, an old time Windham coun-
ty native and resident, has to say Of The
Phoenix in a letter printed on this page.
1t is pleasant for US to have them said, and
we think good many of our subscribers will
like to read them. Speaking impersonally,
and with sincere respect for the memory of
good men who have gone before us in the
management Of this paper, we believe that
The PhTniX has always stood without
fear or favor for purity in politics and
morals in government affairs We believe
that the paper has had much to do, in the
iitty-four years of its existence, with the
social, moral, political and material upbuild-
ing of our stanch little commonwealth of
Vermont. We believe that questions of
right and Of duty to the public have always
stood before considerations of gain of mon
ey or temporary advantage. 1t has, too,
been the policy of the several proprietors
of the paper to keep it always up to the de
mand of the times, as its steadily increas-
ing size and liberal expenditures in all di-
rections have shown.
But there is also something to he said in
behalf of the community in which the pa
per has been published. 1t is because The
Phoenix has always received cordial, gen
erous, and appreciative support that this
course has been possible, and it is this fact
which today makes the future outlook of
the paper a promising one That our en-
largement of a year ago was appreciated
has been shown by a steady gain of sub
scriptions during the year Our list of sub
scribers was never so large as it is today,
subscriptions were never so generally and
50 promptly paid, and we never felt more
surely conscious of stanch and cordial
clientage at our back. 1t is these things
which make newspaper strong, and it is
in this way that community has its equal
part to do with the publishers in making a
newspaper able to stand "'without fear or
favor, for purity in politics and morals in
governments affairs"
Our best hope and determination for the
future, on this first week of a New Year,
is to make the paper worthy the support
which it has always received, to discuss in
its columns all questions of public interest
as they arise, to fill it with local news Gov
ering well its entire field, to make it still a
force in politics, morals and social advance
ment, and to keep it well abreast I'm pro-
gress and up in growth and influence" with
the spirit of the times.
