Why the "press" Informs

DINGMAN's FERRY, April l9. 1897.
EDITOR PREss:-Dcar Sir. have been
looking over some of the past numbers of
the PREss. and putting this and that to-
gether, J found more Information in them
of interest to the people in one. year
than have been able to find in the Milford
Herald now the Dispatch to which have
boon a subscriber, in thirty years.
II looks to M as if all that paper aspircs
to is to keep the Pike county political ring
in good shape which is detriment to the
best welfare Of the people. Its subscribers
ilingin their money to maintain machine
for cutting Of their own noses. like the
method of the PRESS in giving informa-
tion to the people as to what is transpiring
which directly concerns them. We want
to know what IS going on, and sit i'm iudg
ment ourselves on the acts of our officials.
To bc told that they are faithful, over
worked,and underpaid. "alcrt to the inter
ests of their constituents and that " it
requires constant care as the loss of one
cent may cause no end of trouble and an
noyancc" is simply to repeat platitudes,
which do not convince even if clinchcd
with Il slang phrase from New York
paper. 1t seems the loss Of one cent does
not occasion much worry for the county
auditors at the last settlement got over
ten times that amount without the least
difficulty, by simply saying it was for two
small checks which the treasurer failed to
credit himself with. and that explanation
passed unchnllenged.
Give us the information as to what is
being done and we can drew our own in
ferences, and rcndcr our own verdicts on
the acts Of our officials. JUSTICE.
