DuTY OF a NEWSPAPER.

II has been charged that country
newspapers are boot-lickers ON the
taoney side of the question; that
thry are afraid to condemn a
wraug; that 1T is the duty of a
newspaper to expose everything
thGt IS not exactly right and prop
er a nan engages in the news

1884 Ike anyone else in any other
sassasss. 1t is not the duty of q
newspaper man to ferret cut any
mean or contemplate act, any
more than it is the duty of citi-
zen. The citizens of a community
are responsible for the immortality
of town, for dishonest elections,
for the breaking of the law; not
the newspaper. How many bust.
men are there in a town who will
condemn q wrong-deer, when they
know it will injure theml And
vet that is what some people ex'
pect them to do. The trouble il
the ESQ called) honorable people Of
community haven't the moral
courage to stand up for the right
A majority of them, if they en-
dorse an article condemning the
7ickedness of some scion, will
come around to the editor in pri
vate and tell him he has done
right, yet when 1T comes to talking
liz on the street and elsewhere theii
nerve fails them, and the editor il
left to fight the battle alone. Il
you have any grievance to make
do it publicly. If newspaper at
temps a reform that you know il
right and will result in benef
to the town, give him your sup
port publicly. Don't sit back ane
say a newspaper man hasn't th'
courage to say what's wrong unit
you yourself can rise above the al
M !, ,aty dollar and take your stant
for truth and honesty. 1t is tn,
individual and not the newspape
that hasn't the moral courage
Newspapers reflect the wishes o
the people, and are the result o

charged, if at all, by indlvldua

Clifton News.
From the Copper Era.

From the Copper Era.
Friday morning last Sam Sum-
merfeld started for East Clifton
with team of horses hitched to J.
H. Woods delivery wagon. When
in the middle of the river at the
crossing opposite the A. y N. NJ.
depot one of the horses balked
and when urged to proceed iaid
down and before the harness could
be detached was drowned. The
horse was a borrowed one and be-
longed to Mexican.

last with fourteen fine mich COWS

toned last week, the dairy is 10
Gated on Henry Hills alfalfa farm

fixture. Walt Morse is manager
of the dairy. Give the dairy Q

BEWARE OF THE ENEMY.

In 1896 the Enquirer was the out
spoken champion of free silver and
its peerless leader. In that cam
paign its efforts in behalf of the
cause were of character known
of all men. 1t combatted with the
full forco of its energy the enemy
that is, the gold standard lead
ers. headed by VIM. Mckinley, and
the more dangerous chairman of
the national republican committee,
Mark Hanna.
The power of money and the in
fluence of the great trust corpora
tions prevailed, and William j..
Bryan met check. He emerged,
however, fl ON defeat not weaker,
but indeed stronger. The cause he
championed and the flag he carried
could not be downed by any temp
DIARY reverse. The cardinal doc
trine Of the Chicago platform was
a living, burning issue. 1t cannot
be displaced by any minor topic
until the sweep of victory gives
emphasis to its teachings and
weaves its doctrine into the funda.
mental law of the land.
These observations on the part
of the Enquirer are made to give a
warning to the democrats of the
designs of the enemy. The repub.
licans are now trying to create
party division in Ohio under the
false cry that there is faction
seeking to make Bryan a follower
rather than a leader. This to dem
ocrats should be known as silly
lie. 1t is silly lie. Bryan still
leads, and his influence has not
abated one jot. The cause he ad
vocates is living cause. Under
his magnificent leadership the En-
quirer knows enough to know thai
if the democrats are not beguiled
in the efforts of the enemy to dl
vide them, victory SO signal as tc
be emphatic awaits. Itis the time
for all democrats TO get together
The champion and the nationa
candidate is already in the van
flock under the banner and victory
is in sight.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

LYNCHING THE WRONG MAN.

Philadelphia Times;
One of the strongest reasons
why the execution of the penalties
of the law should not be left to an
irresponsible mob is that mobs
metimes execute the wrong man
When sensational crime has been
eommitted in Q community in
which lynching is considered justi-
fable, the controlling influence in
spring the mob that is hastily
called together is that of hanging
somebody for the offense in the
shortest possible time. AS there
is no orderly court procedure, nc
sitting of evidence, no speeches to
a jury sworn to render a verdict
according to the testimony, the
chances of reaching just conolu
sion are not of the best.
An instace of this sort Of Unjust
ice has been furnished by an in
furiated mob In Louisiana. They
were in pursuit of a negro, who
had committed an aggravat I'd as
sault. The mob discovered negro
in a corn field, chased him up
tree, shot him to death as he came
| down, and then discovered that
the victim of this sort of hasty
nunishment was an innocent luna
tic, who bad escaped from a state
asylum. He was colored man;
he ran when the mob chased him;
he was given no chance to tell who
he was, or to hear or answer any
charges against him. He was
simply shot to death because the
mob was in search Of victim and
he was the first that came In their
way.
OF course this is not the first or
only instance of lynching the
wrong man. Mistakes of this kind
have occurred before and the par.
ticulars have been made public
through the newspapers. The
mob spirit still rules in some Sec
tions, however, and we doubt if the
lynching of an innocent man every
week would serve TO put an end to
the barbarous custom. The,lynch.
ing practice is a blot upon our
boasted civilization and should be
sternly suppressed, but with all its
injustice and barbarity it seems to
be on the increase rather than
otherwise.
Graham guardian., 1899-08-11

THE pretext advanced by Gov.
Roosevelt for refusing to parade
the Rough Riders on the occasion
of Admiral Dewey's return home
seems to be a very shallow one.
He refused on the ground that he
did not propose to use the Rough
Riders for advertising purposes,
vet he used the fame of this famous
regiment to advertise himself into
the governors chair of New York
and will continue to use it for his
own advantage. No regiment, or
set of men, will ever become so
exalted that they cannot do honor
to Americas greatest hero and one
whom the whole American people
are proud to honor and love.

If man takes sack of wheat
and an ordinary checker board
sits down, just for want of some
thiLg better to do, and undertakes
to put grain of wheat on the first
square, two on the second, four on
the third, etc., how many grains
would be used before all the sixty
four. squares were filed? 1t dosen't
seem possible, but'a mathematician
has figured it out at 9,523,571,603
bushels, allowing one million
grains to the bushel, or as much
wheat as the United States-would
produce in 18,446 years. If you
think the statement is untrue, just
take your pencil and make a few
figures.

PLEASURE SEEKING.
Experiences of Party on Mt. Graham
on the s4tb.

on the e4th.
EDITOR GUARDIAN:
A crowd of pleasure seekers,
eighteen in all, left Thatcher, Sat
urday, July %, 1899, for Mt. Gra-
ham, where we might spend the
Gath and enjoy the beautiful seen
cry and cool breezes. After a
short journey, we arrived at the
saw mill of Mr.. H. L. Blair, where
the place was at once christened
"Camp Alpine" on account of the
picturesque scenery on every hand.
Here we were right royalty well
coined and entertained by Mr.. and
Mrs. Blair, who placed their house
and goods at our disposal.
The Gath celebration was held in
the Pavilion built for the occasion.
Miss Eva Monterieth delivered the
oration, which was indeed good,
and in the afternoon games were
enjoyed. Dancing began at an
early hour, but the rain also began
at eleven O'clock and forced the
pleasure seekers TO desist, but the
next evening the heavens smiled
and all present danced until salts
fed.
Wednesday morning eight of
the company babe the others good
bye, and mounting our horses
wended our way to the top of Mt.
Graham and soon arrived at Mr..
Birchfeld's camp, where we were
again treated with every kindness
possible.
The next day we went to the
high peak and wrote our names on
paper to put with many others
in can we found there. Friday
morning we started down Cluff's
canyon, but came 10 an insurmount-
able barrier in the way of a toll
gate, but the lady there kindly
gave us permission to view the
many beautiful scenes along the
road free of charge.
We paid a visit to Camp Col.
umbine, and found eighteen iami.
lies there.
After viewing the many other
beautiful scenes, we returned to
Camp Alpine, and then home.
AS we were raptureously ex.
claiming over the many beautiful
scenes, we heard one man remark:
"Yes, indeed, Mt. Graham is a
beautiful place. See what nature
has provided for her children, and
there is not one.tenth of the peo-
pie in your valley who know what
these mountains contain. Mt.

Finds Comfort for Anti-Imperialists ii
the ElecIlOn

Boston, Nov. 1O.-Edward Atkinson,
in an interview regarding the results
of the recent elections, said: at is
too early yet to draw many conclusions
from the election as affecting the anti
cause, ,but there is one con-
elusion quite apparent, especially in
Ohio. The administration is in mi
nority. The atrocities of the Philippine
war are condemned. If the efforts to
subjueate the Philippine islands should
drag on until the next election, which
i very much doubt, all members of con-
gress of either party who support Grim
inal aggression will be defeated in Ohio
and also in other states"
Mr.. Atkinson said he would cease
the publication of the Anti-Imperialist
after the national accounts are rem
dered Jan. 1 on the cost of criminal
aggression" He added:
"The violation of the mail will be in
vestigated in the senate. The neces-
sity for further individual action has
ceased. The anti-imperialists are now
organized on national scale, and it
would be neither eXpedient nor suit
able for me, as an individual, to divert
funds or to continue personal contest
under existing conditions. have made
"a final statement, which is at your ser
vice, having put into circulation over

crowd of people was in the city to at
tend the barbecue given in honor of
the return of the soldiers from the
Philippines, and quite number of
persons had assembled in front of the
business house occupied by Colby Bros.
& Vallow. Suddenly, and without the
least warning, the walk gave way and
all those occupying it, numbering
about 100 men, women and children,
fell into the cellar beneath, some six
feet deep. The space was filled with a
mass of humanity, piled together pro-
miscuously. The screams of women
and children and means of injured men
made fearful uproar. This was added
to, by the rush of the outside crowd,
seeking relatives or friends who might
perhaps be among the victims of the
accident.
The work of rescuing the struggling
people quickly began, and fortunately
very few We're badly hurt. Five per-
sons were more or less seriously in
jured.
The accident was due to the rotten
condition of the supporting timbers of
the walk. 1t is rumored that the city
will have several damage suits to con-
tend with.
