 The Williams News announces a new policy hereafter as follows: The News has made 1t practice to keep its columns clear of scandal. For the sake of it's many young readers it has shielded transgressors. Patience has about ceased to be a virtue. There are just few fellows who seem 10 possess an erroneous idea of the power of the press, and their high handedness must neces- sarily be the result of "come back" The man of the town who thinkf the reporters don't trail is as foolish as the merchant who doesn't advertise. Don't think, gentlemen, that because your name doesn't ap- pear tho reporters have no idea that you have gone. Don't think for an instant that because the personal mention reads John Smith left for Pheuix Wednesday for a weeks stay,' the reporter doesn't know that John Smith went to Los Angeles, and just what he went for. Further more, don't carry the impression that prominence IS going to excuse you with the News any longer. The News is not afraid of any individual bfn the editors desire to place 2 clean aud above criticism journal before his readers has been the req unr. f,r spAm,a...u f~w
