We have to change the makeup of the
REPUBLICAN this week, putting the edi-
torial on the first page. We hope to
continue this for some time at least. 1t
is best not to change the makeup OF a
paper unless necessity requires 1t, as the
reader gets used to finding certain news
in certain places, but sometimes neces-
sity requires change. We are grad
ually increasing the amount of home
matter used and will take the second
page Of home print for correspondence,
using the first for editorial. We hope
our readers will appreciate this increase
of work on the paper, as it means in
creased expense to the publisher.
