Statesman: An old newspaper man (now r
tired) who Is also one of Walla Walla's d
,st citizens, not long since related his ex- h
,rience in conducting country paper. t
mong other things be said: There are 0
ore persons who sponge from newspapers t
AN any other class. When a man comes t
to the world he receives free ''ad"; when '
dies his good deeds ale not overlooked p
the charitable editor. All during his il
e he asks and receives favors from the a
wspapers. If they speak we'll of him the n
ttering notice Is received in silence. Ii G
8 acts are justly criticised he talks of a
it for damages. He desires favorable |
entlon and desires it often. In fact some
ell have an idea that newspaper is run G
pressly to keep them before the public, J
ID that too, without money and without 8
ice. c
