Some Remarks on the Subject
of Newspapers
OUR NEW pRopRIEToRs

desire to go west ana grow up
with the country. Messrs. Z. F.
Brown and j. F. Greenawalt
recently gave up al their inter-
ests in Michigan and came to
Colorado. After survey of the
state they came TO the conclusion
that Florence is the best town that
Colorado possesses. They saw tthaaa:
The Tribune was the paper Of
the town and they made arrange
ments to buy it. They take pos
session this evening and while
they will doubtless have word or
two of explanation as to their rash
course to give to the readers of this
paper tomorrow, yet before | lay
down the editorial pencil, l am
moved to say something about
them and about the paper to the
audience that has suffered my
editorial infections for the past
two years.
In the first place | want to point
out and impress upon the people
of Florence, the fact that no other
agency on earth or in the oil
fields has such wide-spreading in
huence for the welfare OF town
as its daily paper. 1t goes all
over the country. 1t is the stand
ard by which strangers often
judge the town. 1t is generally
the first thing they want to see
when they turn their thoughts to-
ward investment or settlement. 1t
is practically the only medium of
expression that the town has
and though the system of ex-
change maintained by the press
of the state and of the country it
commands an audience, so fer as
matters OF great ilTr: .,s s;.s==r-.~-ge;..
that is enormous.
The task of conducting a daily
paper in small town is one of the
most difficult occupations that
z;g-:.
into. As a rule tie editors ana
managers of such philanthropic
institutions give all their time and
little more, all the result of their
education and experience and
energy, and all their money, for
the benefit of the town. They
do not generally have much
money to give-that is not their
fault and it is q reflection upon
their constituency-but what they
have, they invariably spend right
in their own town and they put in
overtime trying to help the bust
ness men by inducing their read
ers to likewise patronize home
industry.
And what does the town do for
the men who conduct the news
paper? Some towns appreciate
its work and show their apprecia-
ton by very general support.
The business men at large never
dream of sending away when they
want job printing, or of asking
competing newspaper Offices to
bid on job. They take all their
work to their favorite office and
get it done at fair and uniform
rate, or better still they give both
the reputable Offices proportion
ate amount of business.
The printer makes little profit
and he spends it with the business
man in some subsequent transac-
action. And the people at large
subscribe for the paper and usual
ly pay their subscription in ad
vance. They never lie when the
collector gets around and they say
nice things about the really
wonderful way in which one man
or two men, as the case may be,
manages to collect so much news,
besides attending TO any amount
OF business detail and conducting

thereby show that they enjoy the
favor of the gods. They also leave
enough to keep their families from
want and to pay for neat funeral

In town of the size of Flor
ence, general support is necessary
to make a really satisfactory pa
per. It will not do for few en-
terprising merchants to be saddled
with the maintenance of the pa
per and incidentally OF the credit
and good name of the town, while
lot OF their fellows, too ignorant
to realize or too stingy to pay for
the benefit conferred, profit by
its public work. No paper can do
itself full justice under such cir
cumstances. Eut il every man or
firm with anything to advertise
will advertise in proportion to his
business, then the paper can print
more news and display more enter
prise. In word the paper must
be just what the people of the
town make 1t.
l trust that the people of Flor
ence will realize that the new
proprietors of The Tribune,
Messrs. Brown and Greenawalt,
are comforting benefit upon the
town. They are investing their
money here. They will live
here and spend their money here.
They will give up all their time,
energy, experience and training to
the promotion of the towns in
terests. They should command in
return, liberal and general adver-

RESOLUTIONS
Have You Already Broken the
Good Ones?

New Year is the time when many
persons adopt good resolutions to re-
form evil habits and practices and
lead better lives. But, alas most Of
them turn out failures, because those
who have adopted such resolutions
depend on their own power TO resist
temptations and carry out their reso-
lutions. The well-known saying,
"Helfis paved with good resolutions"
is based npon this fact. The only
safe and certain way to "cease TO do
evil and to do well" is to implore aud
depend upon the help of God to carry
out good resolutions. This is DEM
onstrated by the experience of multi
tudes every year and yet other multi
tudes repeat the same experiment OF
reform in their own strength to end
in failure. The admonition to all is

heart. and lean not on thine own I'M

Success in striking titles.

The value of striking title to an
article or story is understood by no
American periodical as well as The
Ladies' Home Journal, writes New
York correspondent. 1t has made its
titles famous by their uniqueness
Its "Side-Talks With Girls" "Heart
to Heart Talks" and 'Unknown
Wives of Well-Kuown Men" have
been ridiculed and paraphrased from
one end of the country to the other.
But it has all been grist for the Phila-
delphia periodical.
just now the title of "The Inner Ex-
periences of Cabinet Members
Wife" is attracting attention. Julia
Magruder's new love story is given
the title of GA Heaven Kissing Hill"
taken from Shakespeare, really, but
who but the Journal would have
thought of it? Marion Crawford's
new story is called "The Dead Smile"
"a title good enough to sell any story.
"The Men Never Married" is tackled
to new series. "The Man Under
Thirty-ive" made the reputation of
Lillian Bell in this magazine. "My
Literary Passions" under which Mr..
Howells wrote in the Journal, served
at once to attract attention. Julian
Haw thorne sends strong story to The
magazine, but with poor title. II is
Immediately rechristened "There are
no Wolves in Ireland" Yet each title
adopted by this clever magazine fits

for it. ga Minister of the World"
started that story on its success. "Mr.
Beecher as / Knew Him" was an
inimitable title for Mrs. Beecher's
memoirs of her husband. "The Gen.
tleman Who is Going to Die" is the
caption for forthcoming story by
Clara Morris. Talk about cleverness
in titles, what magazine is such a
postmaster in the art as is the Ladies
Home Journal? And a newspaper
man knows how difficult the art of
alternating is. But nothing is so
valuable in attracting the eve of the
public.

"when five years old my little boy had

On his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimpies

STARTLING IF TRUE.
Appearance Of The Devil Causes
a Church Panic.

A special to the dsilys from Bour-
bon, Ind, says: Rev. Mr.. Adkin
pastor of the flock at Bethel church
Sunday night, Jan. 10th took for his
theme, "His Satanic Majesty" He y
an eloquent man and he painted the
arch-fend in vivid colors. AT the
climax of the description q being
dressed to represent devil, with
large head and switching tail, ambled
up the aisle, blowing smoke from his
nostrils and believing: ~ am the
devil, and want all of you" The
audience became panic-stricken. Men,
women and children were hurled to
the floor and trampled upon in the
mad rush for the door. In the con-
fusion the stove was upturned and
the building cought fire. Before the
Mortified members regsined their
senses the fire had made such head
way that all attempts to save the
church were in vain.
George Adkin, son OF the pastor, has
confessed that he, with the help of
other boys, rugged up devil suit, and
knowing the subject of his fathers
sermon concealed himself behind a
chair and awaited the arrival of the
congregation.

THE OAK AND THE HoLLY."Iu

(By Geo Estes Of Goodwin's Male High School.
A giant Oak in the forest stood,
All covered with foliage green;
Beneath its bows stood Hollywood,
Almost too small to be seen.
The Oak stretched his limbs Of wood,
And tossed his lofty head.
The Holly in humility stood,
And mumering softly, said:
ssNo praise TO me will ever be given;
INTO obscurity, forever I'm driven;
My head is low, my boughs are small,
And the Oak beside me is cruel and tall.
sHis smiles are all frowns, he can but annoy;
When tremble with fear, he sings with joy.
When sun beams attempt to brighten my hour
He arrests them all in his numerous bowers"
Then came the woodsman, while yet he spoke,
And cast an eye at the naughty Oak
Then he begins with his AK so sharp,
And hacked the Oak to its very heart.
He fell to the earth with hdeOus grOan,
And the Holly was left to stand alone.
SO quickly they stripped the Oak of every liml
The Holly could but pity him.
Light was now beginning to dawn
On the little Holly sad and forlOrn; G
For soon came lovers of beauty rare,
And plucked it up with tender care.
1t was transpanted, by King, in a garden spot
Where grew rose and lily and forget me-nOt,
And there to. day it may be seen,
For though tits small, It's an evergreen.
Tine moral Of this the reader knOweth;
Pride before destruction gOeth,
And a naughty spirit before fall,
is a text long ago taught to all.
But he that is humble shall exalted be,
From scOrns and SCOTS, at last be free.
And another thought to me is suggested,
Which will tell, though not requested.
Hyou should find as you will,
A weAker brother on life's rugged hill,
DO not laugh him to scorn, for such is folly
