In so far a. il may presume to be
teacher the REGISTER does all il can
20 encourage men and inspire them
with hope and good cheer. 1t has
been bitterly criticised sometimes for
LONG this. 1t has been accused of
having no sympathy for the poor who
ire in debt and in distress. because it
'efused to rage about the streets snap
,ing and snarling, like rabid dog at
'riend and foe alike. 1t has been
as an enemy of the farmer
md ally of Shylock because it has
quoted indisputable statistics to show
hat the condition of the farming class
; rapidly improving and is better
low, all things considered, than it
,ver was before. But it thinks never
heless that it will keep on in the old
way. 1t sees the discouraging side of
life as well as anybody; but is it made
ess. discOuraging by continually
'Ointing it out and talking about it?
t feels the hardship that follows low
,rices almost as keenly as the farmers
themselves: but would it make the
easier to bear to declare that
was unbearable and that there was
10 use ever trying to recover from it?
The loss of the farmers crop means
Oss of business to the REGISTER; but
would 1t make the loss good to advise
he farmers, in the classic language of
1rs. Lease, to raise less corn next
ear and more hell?" 1t would he
asy to do all these things. 1t would
Ot require much brain or much heart
D do them. at il far easier" says
spanish proverb, ito teach men to he
than to be grateful and
Apply" But would it be better?
Would it make the readers of this pa
or happier? Would it promote good
ill among neighbOrs and augment
ne growth and prosperity of our town
nd county? We cannot see that it
-Ould do any of these things, and
therefore, the REGISTER will continue
n in the old way.
