Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-10-23
HERE. 10 LIE or DIE.


We have heard rumors about the Fort Worth
GAZETTE moving awsy from that city and estab-
fishing at Dallas or San Antonio, because OF
lack OF advertising patronage from Fort worth
importance to such rumors. and certainly would
not credit them until The GAZETTE itself speaks.
sucn [nmo.s, however. are cslcn !sted TO pII
posted newspaper men know, has prestige and
busin =ss that would avail it fully as much (and
perhaps more, st some other cities at its pres
ent home. It can move away from the Fort if it
wants to, and continue to do a large and good
business. But Fort Worth could not replace It
at cost that would bs tremen-
dous-fer beyond anything the COM
GAZETTE. Publishers of ability and capital, wi b
the nerve OF the GAzxTTE as warning, would
not seek Fort Worth simply for the possible
remuneration of the current business OF the
town. Publishers without ability and capital
could not meet the eIigencies OF the situation
The inevitable result would ne that Fort worth
pockets and spend money as they nave reVer
spent 1t yet-on newspapers-or raise bonus Tor
the individual or firm willing TO RISK captain me
course would also be costly. for no $50, COZ or
S30, 900 would suffice. Viewed in any light Fort
Worth would be put in an embarrassing position
and one that would il prestige and
monsy. And no mater how much money could
be raised 1t would be almost out OF the question
to find ccessor for The GAZETTE that would
be essentially of ana for Fort Worth as The
GAzErTR Is and has always been. In opin-
ION the people OF fOrL W Ortn know on WHICH
side their bread is buttered and il the paper has
any intention of removal (Which we doubtl they
will take care to hold it. No town can afford 10
lose representative, vigilant. Jealous newspa-
per that has grown to be identified with, and
par. and parcel OF that town.-Twaco Day.
One Of the ondits sounding on the air is, that
il Il quite likely the Fort Worth GAZETTE will be
moved to San Antonio, Dallas, some other
point, whsrsst and wherein remuneration Ia
more likely to be lad than in its present sur
roundin.s. SO az TIE GAZETTE would not sp-
pear nat ifal wingin< its way from any other
point, and Fort Worth woul not be Fort Worth
with TEE AzETTs want ng, we VIII regret should
the necessity occur and are IN hopes the troubles
may be safely bridged. - Corsicana Courier.
Justice TO itself and to Fort Worth
oompsls THE GAZETTE to notice the
rumors reported in tho Waco and Corsi-
cans papers. There is reason for saying
that more than one other Texas town
would be glad to have THE GAZETTE
and this paper has an identity Of Its own
and would be at homo anywhere in
Texas; but this is idle discussion. THE
GAZETTE, undor its present ownership,
il IN Fort Worth to stay. The fate of
this city will be the fate of this paper as
long as the present ownership has con-
troll of THE GAzETTE's destiny. THE
GAZETTE is In Fort Worth to live, a part
and parcel Of the city of its love and am
bition, and it is here to die should death
come to Fort Worth.
Our Waco contemporary may we'll
doubt the truth of the rumor it prints.
THE GAZETTE has labored too many years
in behalf of Fort Worth to give up now
because SO many of the people Of the
city prefer to spend their money on fakes
and snaps; but THE GAZETTE may be
compelled to change its business methods
and make it's donations to Fort Worth in
cash and charge cash for all it does If too
many people insist upon riding THE
GAZETTE free and giving their adver-
Using to blotting pads, Illuminated
pamphlets that never leave the Office or
stors, and other snap schemes that
benefit no one save and except the fakirs
who depredate upon the community and
then skip to other pastures.
THE GAZETTE 10 in Fort Worth to stay
until this town of %. 900 people is con-
verted into city OF 100, 900, and in this
work THE GAZETTE will perform its full
share, asking no one for cent except
where full value is returned. The paper
will continue to be valuable to the town
in proportion to the support given by
the town, and ell rumors Of its removal
are idle. However much other towns
may desire to have THE GAZETTE, they
Will not get it while the paper remains
the property OF the present ownership.
