2 Sound Reasoning,

The editor who penned the following
words knew just exactly what he was
talking about. If there is any better
reason for asking newspaper to work
for nothing, than there is to ask a
school teacher or preacher to give
their services free. we would like
to have them explained to us. We are
unable to see the point, especially
where parties asking free advertise
ments are intent on making money out
of it. An editor who has evidently
had some experience, puts it as follows:
1--WE at least learned just this much
about the newspaper business. Adver-
Using of any kind should always be
paid for. We have learned not to puff
every jim-crow thing that comes along.
free of charge. and give lot of free
advertising to something that gets pay
for everything it does. While we want
to please our readers in every possible
way we can. we are running this great
enunciator for living and for exactly
the same reason that the farmer tills
the soil, for the same reason that 4
lawyer sells his talent to one side of a
case aud for the same reason that other
-people do VARIOUS kinds of work. We
do not expect Anybody to work for us
for fun; neither do VIE expect to work
for anybody else for fun, only. We ex-
pect only reasonable compensation the
same as other business men. ''-Wil-
miugton Messenger.

THE NEW WOMAN

The shades of night were falling fast,
As thrO' the crowded streets there passed
A creature not to be described,
Who bore aloft n shield inscribed
The New Woman.
Her trousers were little wide,
And just q Il life short beside,
As forward on her wheel she dashed,
While on the startled vision flashed,
The New Woman.
Her brow. with evening dew was
drenched,
Yet tight the handle bar she clenched
And never dropped the banner bold
Which showed alike to young and old,
The New Woman.
"Oh, stay the young man said, "ard rest
Your weary head upon my brea>t;
You surely cannot further CO..
A voice replied "Y on do not know
The New Woman
"Avoid this path" the old man called.
Its dangers have strong men appalled,
Again proud cry fiOated back,
"9Ou can't keep in the beaten track
The New Woman
beware the politicians fate
And turn back ere it is too late,
But ever high above the din
NoiHt "HdJ may, IUlS FOlc shall VIII
The New woman"
The timid crowd bewildered sat
