A newspaper without enemies
is scarcely deserving of friends
The vicious and the lawless never
like bold, fearless newspaper,
and every self-respecting news
paper should be proud of their en-
nifty. There are other newspa-
per foes, however, who are far
more troublesome and consequent
ly more to be feared. First and
foremost is the man who owes a
newspaper an honest debt and will
not pay it. Then there is the
ambitious mortal who wants an
office and complains because the
newspaper cannot consistently
champion his cause. He is pretty
likely to become an enemy. The
man who wants to shape the
policy of newspaper and is not
allowed to do so is a sure enemy
But the meanest enemy of all is
the man who a newspaper has be
friended and who deliberately con
dennis the sheet after securing
from it all the assistance he posi-
bly, can. The newspaper can, tt
some extent, respect an open anc
avowed enemy, but an migrate
under any circumstances is be
meath contempt.-Ex.

Hoods Sarsaparilia is known to possess
merit or the power to cure disease; it is
known to be the best building-up medicine
