Bro. Quinn, Of the Hardesty Herald,
has Il heat way If coming down off the
perch. After ~iutimating to hi. readers
that some Of the county officials recom-
mcnded the territorial raise from inter
ested motives. he makes amends by pub.
fishing the proceedings Of the territorial
board. These proceedings will be
fund in another column, and show for
themselves the data upon
which they based their action. We do
not admit the correctLess of their work
and have no doubt that a substantial
injustice was done our county.
No matter now low the metropolitan
papers may make their subscription rates
they cannot occupy,the local field or take
the place Of the local paper. The me,
tropolitan paper does not attempt to
serve the people of the community in
the same relation as the local paper.
The Latter not only records the news OF
commonest interest to every citizen, but
it is the champion Of the community.
