The Local Paper.

1t is a little remarkable that a local
newspaper seldom gets credit for the
good it does to a community. The
preacher holds a revival meeting, tells
the people the way of life and warns
them of dangers, and he is regarded
as a great benefactor. The newspaper
exposes ~rascals, keeps men good from
fear of such exposure; generally ad-
vocates what is to the best interest of
a town and community, and its re-
ward, often, is to be regarded as a
common enemy. Many good people
take a pride in denouncing the press
at the least provocation, but never see
any good that it does. 1t is for this
reason that many papers absolutely
refuse to devote space to needed re-
forms, because those who push these
reforms most lend little encourage
ment to the newspaper. If good peo-
pie would see to it, that the paper that
assaults wrong wherever it appears is
well supported, the paper could afford
always to take radical steps. Approach
er's salary goes on all the same no
matter how many he may condemn.
Not so with the newspaper, let it be
said to the detriment of the good peo-
pie.
