Press.
A SOLEMN DUTY.--Newspaper often
have painful duties TO perform But these
are seIf-imposed tasks Of the profession and
II would be cowardly 10 shirk them. Il Is
a solemn duty which the DEMocRAr owes
to the public to disclose the unsavory fact
that the man wh5 in these gyipiag times
goes TO bed with his chest covered with
hot onion poultice ard his stomach full of
boiled onions, will have the consolation
when he wakes in the morning 10 find la
grippe disgusted and gone. The remedy
Is heroic but effective.
HIGH PURPosRs.---It Is not the news
per fed by trusts and prospered by the
wealthy that has nob.est ambitions; but
small sheets that fill the niche well like
the Bandon Record, only one page Of which
Is printed at home are the ones that hope
much. The Record now beginning Vol !
says:
at has worked manfnlly for place a.
mong the institutions OF to-day. II pro
poses 10 push onward and upward, ever
ba Ting for equality and Justice for higher
educational methods, for more social rela-
tions between man and man, for the oyer.

of the place where it Is published"
