Te the Globe.RepubIican Readers.

To the Globe.Republican Readers.
It is with pleasure in assuming thu
duties of editor of the GLoBE-REPuB
L1cAN that I make few words in ex
PLANTATION of the course I will pursue
in the conduct of the paper. This
method is a time-honored custom,
and like political party platform.
while it is declaration of good faith,
the course may slightly deviate from
the policy laid down. But this may
be regarded as an act of poor judg-
ment and not one of bad faith. We
aaorn our paths in life with good in
tentions and find thorns in the way.
The cordially extended to me by
the citizens of Ford county is graft
flying beyond words of expression;
and leads me to believe that ten years
residence here was not without some
compensation. Of course take this
feeling Of confidence as a prom
Use that 1 will have the support of the
people in whatever is done for the
welfare of the city and county.
It will be the aim of the GLOBE
REPUBLICAN to advance every interest
of Dodge City and Ford county, and
with this end in view / ask the co
operation Of all citizens regardless of
party utilization. Whatever efforts
will conduce to the best interests of
Dodge City and Ford county will be
discharged to the best of my ability.
I return to my former home on my
own motion, and am not bound to
any faction or rule. Entering the
newspaper field again thus untram-
meled I am free to work for the good
of the Republican party without pre-
JUDGE but with influence for the e ood
of the whole party.
The GLoBE-REPuBL1cAN will be an
exponent of the principles of the Re
publican party as enunciated in the
party platform, believing that, in the
future as in the past, the party may
be relied upon in wise administra-
lion of public duty, in economic,
financial and Legislative capacity;
and that to the end for the betterment
Of the people and the return of pros
perity and happiness.
There are other considerations than
party politics in the conduct of To-
;al newspaper, and to these I shall
ny in my utmost endeavors to pro-
note. Nearly eighteen years in
western Kansas has given me an
experience worth something as
guide in the work of the future.
The GLOBE REPUBLICAN will be
lean newspaper of which no one will
re ashamed; and its columns will be
rec of abuse and scurrility.
1 believe that Western Kansas will
ct attain proud place in the list of
countries; and having un-
the task before me with the
est of encouragement, am willing
devote the remainder of my time
the duties and purposes of life
'hich actuate every honorable pur
ait-the promotion of the best in
'rests of the people and the develop q
tent of the country's material and
ldustrial resources. i
know what must be encountered n
the development of a new country. l
nd I am willing to do my part in t
70 struggle and discouragements Q
hich follow energy and effort in the
,bjugation of this voiceless semi
rid region.
1t is with feelings of pride that I y
lus address myself to the readers of !.
10 GLOBE REPUBLICAN and the citi-
ms of Ford county, for their kind I"
Ipressions of confidence in the du- =
es 1 have assumed; and I hope to
eserve their continued appreciation, a
'nfidence and good will. 81
