Its continued and uninterrupted

the hearts of the people Of Mon

tenths of the families in the city.

in the state. 1t has the news SER
vice of the Associated Press and
the United Press and also has an
extensive special service by its
own correspondents at all i'm

cratic in politics, fair and candid
in its treatment Of all political
and economic questions. Its re-
ports of all local and state hap
penings are free from partisan
bias or Misrepresentation. Its
politics do not affect its fidelity to
its readers in printing the news.
While The INDEPENDENT aims
to print all the news it can get,
it prefers to print only pleasant
news, and private brawls and
scandals are handled with care
when they must be printed, and
all Objectionable features reduced
to a minimum. 1t It's particularly,
therefore, the family paper of
